Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 454 Tom: I can't learn it! I really can't learn it!
When Grindelwald arrived at the scene with a group of Aurors, fully armed, the place was already a mess...

The scorched earth, burning tents, and severed limbs everywhere...

When Grindelwald met Livde, he was sitting on the ground, leaning against a broken stone brick, panting heavily.

Beside him stood a huge, ferocious wolf's head...

"Aren't you a little late?" Li Weide said helplessly.

"Slow? We rushed over as soon as we received your letter... Damn, I thought I'd come to hell. Can you tell me what's going on here? Are these... all werewolves?"

Even Grindelwald, who had seen a lot in his life, was shocked by the horrific scene before him.

“Yes… werewolves. The problem you were worried about has now been solved. This is the head of the wolf king.” Li Weide pointed to the huge wolf head next to him.

"Hiss..." Grindelwald looked at the wolf king's head, which was lying dead with its eyes wide open, and couldn't help but gasp. Then he inhaled a mouthful of nauseating blood.

In Grindelwald's eyes, this was undoubtedly the wolf king's head.

In other words... the rebellious werewolves were wiped out before they even had a chance to cause much damage to the world!
"You did this all by yourself?" Grindelwald looked at Livde with a complicated expression.

“Director, could you send me to St. Mungo first, and then ask me questions slowly? Or… are you planning to kill me here? I must say, this is indeed a good opportunity. You have people all around you. Just kill me, then tell everyone I was killed by a werewolf, and then you can claim the credit… This would be absolutely beneficial to your career.” Li Weide said weakly.

"Are you really out of energy?" Grindelwald asked, his eyes gleaming; he was indeed very tempted.

“Hmm, I’m out of strength. Now is the perfect time to kill me.” Li Weide said calmly.

Grindelwald suddenly smiled. "What a joke! How could I be that kind of person? Come on... buddy, I'll take you to St. Mungo's... After tonight, you'll be the greatest hero in the entire wizarding world. I bet those reporters will be thrilled."

As Grindelwald spoke, he reached out and helped Livde up.

You, Li Weide, are out of strength? I can kill you so easily? What a joke!
If I believed that, who knows what other dirty tricks they might have up their sleeves for me!

Who would instigate someone else to kill them?

Only a fool would fall for that!
“Alright, since you don’t cherish this opportunity…” Li Weide pointed to the iron cage over there, “There are some Muggles over there. I thought they were too noisy, so I just knocked them all out. As for what you do next, I can’t control that.”

How could Grindelwald not understand what Livid meant?

This is like sending yourself to the front lines to work on the "International Secrecy Law"!

However... Li Weide's success in dealing with the werewolf was essentially a huge relief for him.

Since Li Weide has gone to such lengths for me, I might as well be his pawn again!
Besides, he wants to try again now, with a different identity and time... Will he be able to break through the International Secrecy Act this time?
When Li Weide was sent to San Mungo.

Miravia and Nagini, along with a group of Hydra wizards, followed Lucian to the ancestral lands of the werewolves.

"This cave leads to the ancestral land of us werewolves. Currently, it should only be guarded by a small number of elite werewolves, and the rest are all underage werewolves... In addition, all the information and books about werewolves are also stored inside," Lucian said expressionlessly.

Miravia looked at Lucian in astonishment. To make a werewolf who had been brainwashed since childhood so easily betray his entire clan... Livid's puppet worms were undeniably powerful.

"Let's go, hurry up and finish this... then I'll go check on Wade." Miravia waved her hand, and the Hydra wizard behind her disappeared into the cave first...

……

"You were faking it? I have to say, you did a pretty good job of it."

In St. Mungo's ward, Tom slapped Rivendell hard on the shoulder, making Rivendell wince in pain.

"I'll show you my ass!" Li Weide retorted angrily.

"No... are you really injured?" Tom asked in surprise.

"Otherwise what? Why do you think I'm lying here? I pulled a muscle, and you're still filming me!"

"What exactly happened? I only heard that you fought with the Wolf King... You could even defeat the Blood Ancestor, so the Wolf King shouldn't be a problem, right?" Tom frowned.

"There's really nothing wrong..."

"Then why are you so weak? Is that wolf king much more powerful than the Blood Ancestor?"

"I mean, defeating the Wolf King shouldn't be a problem... provided there isn't an entire werewolf pack nearby that's been enhanced by moonlight..."

Tom jumped up. "You mean, you single-handedly stormed into the werewolf camp, killed the wolf king, and are still alive?"

“Wrong… He wiped out the entire werewolf camp! And he’s still alive.” Grindelwald pushed open the door and strode in.

Tom opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word for a long time.

So... this is the second method you didn't want to tell me about, the one with a tiny bit of risk!?

Wow! This is incredibly effective! It's just that it's a bit like not valuing your own life at all!
Then, he began to forcefully turn Li Weide's body over and examine it...

"No... what exactly do you want to do by messing with me like this?" Li Weide said, annoyed, as he pushed away Tom's hands that were trying to move him.

"No! You're not injured!" Tom shouted. "So, you took on an entire werewolf pack, even killed the wolf king, and all you did was exhaustion and a few muscle strains, without even breaking a sweat?"

Are you disappointed that I'm not hurt, Tom?

"No... Wade, all I want to say is, you're fucking awesome!" Tom's eyes were red.

Tom had witnessed the werewolf's power from Lucian.

But this guy was able to wipe out an entire werewolf pack single-handedly. Is that something a human could do?
Tom was so jealous his eyes turned red. If only he had that ability, how wonderful that would be!

"Then why are you still lying in St. Mungo's? You've just exhausted yourself and pulled a muscle. You don't even need to drink a potion to heal, right?" Tom suddenly realized a blind spot.

“No…he must lie in St. Mungo’s, even if it’s just for one night,” Grindelwald interjected.

"Why?" asked Tom.

“Because he doesn’t want others to know how awesome he is…only in this way can he legitimately pin the credit on me,” Grindelwald said. “And…if I’m not mistaken, this kid is starting to scheme against that senile old man Dumbledore again. What that old man can’t stand the most is this kid becoming pitiful. As soon as the old man softens his heart, he’s guaranteed to agree to a few more things that he would never have agreed to before…”

“Nonsense! What scheme? I just haven’t been to St. Mungo in a long time and wanted to see the beautiful Miss Guinness. Oh… she’s the most beautiful girl in all of St. Mungo!” said Li Weide. “But you’re right about one thing, I really don’t want others to know how awesome I am.”

Grindelwald scoffed, "That's right. If everyone knew how strong you were, it'd be harder to fool people in the future. Thank goodness, that senile old bastard Dumbledore won't have to rely on your sympathy anymore." "I suspect you can't understand human language, Mr. Director..."

"Heh heh, I'm afraid your plan is going to fall through, Mr. Livid. Tomorrow morning, the whole world will know what you did tonight. Your name will also appear in textbooks on the history of magic..." Grindelwald chuckled.

Li Weide frowned at Grindelwald. "That's strange. You don't want this credit? You should know how much prestige you would gain from wiping out the werewolf camp and killing the wolf king!"

“Of course I know that! I also know you want to give me the credit, but... I can’t accept it,” Grindelwald said with a smile.

"Why?" Li Weide propped himself up with his arms.

“Right now, neither the purebloods nor Dumbledore can really tolerate me, because they don’t think I’m causing too much trouble yet. After all, many people still look down on me. So, there’s always a way to salvage the situation. But if my reputation suddenly skyrockets, and my abilities don’t match that reputation… then my days will be tough,” Grindelwald said with a smile. “You little brat, you’re just trying to screw me over by giving me the credit. How could I not know that?”

"Tsk, so you've learned to hide your abilities now? Where were you before?" Li Weide lay back down, dissatisfied.

“It’s not too late to realize this now… Besides, with you, this glamorous hero, blocking my way, it’s actually much easier for me to do something secretly.” Grindelwald maintained his elegant smile.

You're using me as a pawn, making me break the International Secrecy Act... No problem! I'll go for it!

However, you can't just hide in the back and watch; you have to come out and attract my attention too! That way, it will be easier for me to make my plans!

Li Weide and Grindelwald stared at each other for a long while before closing their eyes again.

"I'm tired, I want to sleep, I won't see you off."

Grindelwald chuckled, "Then I won't disturb your rest any longer."

With that, Grindelwald left the ward without asking Li Weide how he had taken down the Wolf King.

Because the details here are really not important to Grindelwald at all.

All Li Weide needs to do is step forward and claim the credit that rightfully belongs to him, and then attract all the spotlight.

"You people are all so full of scheming and plotting... It must be exhausting to live like this," Tom sighed.

These two are clearly very powerful, but they just love to scheme and plot against each other. It's exhausting!
That's why you lost your hair and nose!
Li Weide didn't say those words aloud.

"Sigh, this guy really didn't fall for it." Li Weide sighed. "Now, those vampires will probably pay even more attention to me. It will be difficult to trick them like before."

To increase your chances of successfully scamming someone, the first step is to make them underestimate you...

The reason those two Blood Ancestors walked into the trap so easily was because they underestimated the wizards.

After killing the two Blood Ancestors, Li Wade deliberately attributed the credit to Miravia and the Ministry of Magic, in order to temporarily conceal some of his strength in front of these monsters and make them think that his abilities were at most similar to those of a high-level vampire.

This makes it easier to catch bigger fish; it's all about exploiting an information gap.

But now that Grindelwald hasn't fallen for it, that first step is lost.

"You're already so good... just take them down head-on, why be so stingy and cheat people?" Tom said, puzzled.

"No... Tom, you don't understand. Scamming people maximizes profits. And you have no idea how captivating it is to successfully scam someone—the way they hate you but can't get rid of you..."

Tom sneered, "Ha, I didn't know any of that. I just believe your previous point of view even more now."

"What's that?"

"Everyone who makes potions is a little bit twisted... Yes, Wade, I think you have some psychological issues..."

"I'm a pervert? Heh..." Li Weide sneered, but his smile was tinged with a hint of guilt.

"Crack!"

The door opened again, and this time it was Dumbledore!
"Wade! How are you?"

Dumbledore strode to the bedside, and before Livde could speak, Dumbledore's wand was already touching Livde's body as he began to examine him.

"It's alright... I'm just a little exhausted, and also... my soul power is too depleted..." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm really fine, Professor. I just need to get some rest..."

"How dare you challenge an entire werewolf pack by yourself?!" Dumbledore said sternly. "Tonight is a full moon! Do you know how dangerous this is?"

“I know, Professor,” Li Weide replied weakly.

Tom, standing nearby, couldn't help but twitch his eye slightly at the sight.

Here it comes... Grindelwald was right, this guy is about to put on another show!

And...who said that taking credit makes things difficult?
"Then why did you still go? Now that you know their headquarters, you could have told us, and then organized a large force to encircle and annihilate them after the full moon!"

"No...Professor, we must attack on the night of the full moon! Only on the night of the full moon will they gather together! Only then can we achieve victory in one battle!"

Seeing Li Wade's stubborn expression, Dumbledore's heart softened.

"Do you know you might lose your life? Even if you are indeed exceptionally strong, what if... even lions have moments of weakness? What if you make a mistake? Have you thought about that?"

“I’ve thought about it, but I still have to go… This is the only chance! If we miss this opportunity, we won’t be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop! Because if we miss tonight, they will scatter and take revenge on the world… In that case, who knows how many innocent people will be harmed by them… I can’t stand by and watch those innocent people lose themselves and their lives! With great power comes great responsibility… Since I have this ability, I can’t just sit idly by!”

"You...you told me that this was just moral blackmail..."

"But Professor, didn't you also tell me that in this world, someone has to be willing to accept moral blackmail and do what is wrong even though they know it's impossible, so that the world can become a better place... Since you can do this, why can't that person be me?"

“You… silly child… you really are a silly child… then you didn’t have to go alone…” Dumbledore looked at Li Wade, his azure eyes filled with heartache.

"No... I'd better go by myself. I'm worried about your safety..."

"You silly child! Does that mean we won't worry about you? Sigh..."

Tom stared in astonishment at Dumbledore's teary eyes, then wiped his own eyes as well...

After all, it would seem somewhat inappropriate not to shed a couple of tears at this moment...

Damn it, that son of a bitch Li Weide, how am I supposed to learn this? I can't learn it... I really can't learn it!
