The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 263 Excessive Phlegm
Mr. Borgin didn't know what happened in Devonshire. He was still waiting for his men to return in Knockturn Alley. In Mr. Borgin's opinion, it shouldn't be a problem for four veterans to deal with one man.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone coming back, Mr. Borgin began to feel uneasy. He did not think that Clive and his four companions would betray him, but he thought that things might be more difficult and something unexpected might have happened, so Clive had not come back yet.

But until the closing time at night, Clive and his four companions had not returned, and no news had been sent back. Mr. Borgin finally stopped hoping for the best, realizing that he had underestimated the other party's strength, and that Clive and his companions might never come back.

The next morning, Mr. Borgin arrived at Knockturn Alley in a state of anxiety. He had been on tenterhooks all night and had not rested well, fearing that the other party would suddenly appear and cause trouble for him as soon as he closed his eyes.

Although there is a powerful force behind Borgin and Burke's, there is no such thing as a 100-day defense against thieves. A moment of negligence brought an enemy who was secretly watching you, and Mr. Borgin felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Clive and his four companions' failure meant that they had made enemies. Instead of solving the problem, they brought trouble to Borgin and Burke's. Even if they managed to survive, Mr. Borgin would not let them continue to breathe.

Just like throwing away useless gloves, Clive and the other three have lost their value and their existence is just a waste of air.

Now Mr. Borgin only hoped that the other party was a cowardly bandit who did not dare or did not want to be an enemy of Borgin and Burke. He also hoped that the other party had already taken the gold galleons and fled far away, rather than being a petty and vindictive person.

The layout of the shop was the same as yesterday, and only then did Mr. Borgin relax and his throbbing heartbeat slow down. It seemed that the other party had no intention of revenge, neither seeking revenge on him nor causing trouble for the shop.

Mr. Borgin breathed a sigh of relief and began to comb his hair.

Because he was worried about the safety of the store, Mr. Bogin was in a hurry when he went out in the morning and didn't even have time to take care of his hair. His hair, which used to be smooth and sleek, looked particularly messy today.

But when he took the hair oil from the cabinet, he found that his hair oil was gone. Instead, there were two money bags, one black and one white, plus four broken wands.

This purse was so familiar that it was the purse he had handed to Clive yesterday. As for the four broken wands, it was obvious who their owners were and what their fate would be.

Mr. Borgin's face suddenly turned ugly, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. He stood up slowly with the two money bags trembling. He already understood what the other party meant. Putting the things in the shop silently without hurting himself, this intention couldn't be more obvious.

The stolen hair oil and purse are just a warning!
This warning was naturally sent by Ada. Unfortunately, Bogin misjudged his opponent's mind, and Ada's mind was only slightly bigger than a needle's nose.

After burying Clive and his two companions, as well as Jimmy, who was burned to ashes, in the grove and cleaning up the scene, Ada returned to Knockturn Alley with the four people's wands and money bags.

When Ada returned to Borgin and Burke's, Borgin was waiting anxiously in the store. Ada did not kill Borgin, but secretly left the things in the cabinet.

What's more, Ada didn't intend to fight Borgin and Burke to the end. There was no need to kill Borgin and offend him to death. So Ada chose to use intimidation to make the other party remember it for a long time.

As long as Borgin bows his head and admits his defeat, the matter will be over. Sometimes, intimidation is far more terrifying than killing. Of course, this is also because Ada has not revealed her identity. Two fists cannot beat four hands. She does not need to fight to the death with Borgin and Burke for the time being. If the other party refuses to give in and wants to find out Ada's background, it will really be a situation of life and death.

Ada believed that Borgin would not be so unwise. He had only lost four men and was not injured, so there was no need to make a big fuss. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Borgin must understand this principle.

A man cannot be rich without external wealth, and a horse cannot be fat without night grass. First, it was the venom of the giant spider, and then she dealt with the basilisk's inheritance at the end of June. Ada can be considered a small rich woman, and she can go on a trip at any time.

Ada should have been happy, but the somewhat bloody reality made her completely unhappy, because she finally experienced the troubles of being famous.

In the summer of 1993, Ada came to the Leaky Cauldron to work as usual, working hard for a meager salary. Ada was still the same Ada, but the Leaky Cauldron was no longer the same Leaky Cauldron. To be more precise, the customers were no longer the same customers.

When she was in school, some people came to Hogwarts to claim their relatives, disrupting Ada's normal life, but this trend stopped at the end of the semester, and she took it for granted that everything was normal.

But what is unexpected is that Aida not only did not become a less popular singer, but instead aroused the interest of some people, who wanted to "visit" this magical girl up close.

It felt like the Leaky Cauldron had become a zoo, with Ada as the monkey and the bar counter as the cage that held her.

More people means more people drinking, which means more income. Tom, the bar owner, finally exposed his profit-seeking nature. Instead of sympathizing with Ada's situation, he laughed so hard that he looked almost inhuman.

Old Tom, who was guarding the money tree, was so happy that he flew away, but the money tree itself was not happy. Everyone likes to watch monkeys, but no one wants to be the monkey being watched. Even if Ada was thick-skinned, it was not as thick as a city wall, and she could not withstand being watched by so many people.

But what Ada didn't know was that some of the people who came to watch were not there simply for the sake of faith. They had different missions and purposes.

Among these people, some were there to monitor Ada's every move so that they could report back to their masters; some were there to keep an eye on her whereabouts so that they could kill her when necessary; and some were there to provide help to Ada and protect her when she needed it.

Unable to bear the annoyance, Ada was no longer as careful as before. She focused more on Borgin and Burke, so she was temporarily unable to notice the hidden dangers and good intentions around her.

If Ada paid close attention, she would find an interesting phenomenon, that is, the people who wanted to kill her and the people who wanted to protect her actually came from the same place.

When these two groups spoke English, it sounded a little strange, as if there was phlegm in their throats, which made people feel uncomfortable.
