Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 525 Oh no, it's Gryffindor senior!

Almost everyone on the street ran over with their goods.

However, after Tom berated several of the counterfeiters, the crowd thinned out by more than half...

The rest of these people either sell genuine items or fake items that they are confident Tom won't notice.

Tom still adheres to the same principle when it comes to these people: he collects anything he's never seen before or anything rare... highlighting his nouveau riche nature.

For a time, many people left with smiles on their faces.

However, this led to an increase in the number of people, since Tom was generous and capable of doing business.

Moreover, the wizard of Knockturn Alley quickly learned Tom's criteria for accepting things... He seemed to be very interested in rare items.

Before long, Tom was surrounded by all sorts of strange and unusual things...

"This is the wand Merlin used when he was in school! Although it's only half left now, it still retains powerful magic. Once repaired, it will be an incredibly powerful wand! It's not expensive, only two hundred Galleons..." A short, sleazy-looking man was enthusiastically trying to sell Tom a wand that had been broken in half.

Everyone looked at him with disdain. Was he trying to fool them? Merlin's wand? And only half of it? How dare you ask for two hundred Galleons?
Based on what everyone knew about Tom, he would definitely throw his wand at the little guy's face and tell him to get lost.

Tom is indeed planning to do that; you can't just squander money like that!

However, upon touching the broken wand, Tom unexpectedly sensed a powerful magical force...

This made Tom suppress his urge to spit in his face.

"Two hundred Galleons?" Tom glanced sideways at the short man.

"Yes! Only two hundred Galleons! No less!"

Tom scoffed, "Ha, I can only offer two Galleons. If you don't sell, then..."

"Deal!" The little man excitedly shoved the broken wand into Tom's hand, afraid Tom would change his mind. At the same time, he held out his right hand to Tom, "Cash on delivery!"

Tom stared in astonishment at the little man, but eventually tossed two Galleons into his hand.

Someone nearby laughed and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't sell for less than two hundred Galleons?"

"Hehe! Anyone who doesn't sell is a fool!" the short man said with a grin, holding two Galleons in his hands.

The little guy glanced at Tom with a grin and ran off, looking at him like he was an idiot.

Tom smiled faintly, glanced at the half-wand in his hand, and casually tossed it into the bag of the Unseen Stretch Charm.

With such powerful magic, Li Wade might be able to use it, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't, since it's only two Galleons anyway.

As a result, those who were just watching from the sidelines also ran back to get their own goods.

Before long, Tom collected a whole bunch of strange things, including some very rare potion ingredients.

"Hmm? Why does this thing look so familiar?" Tom examined the lighter closely, feeling like he'd seen it somewhere before.

"Never mind..." Seeing that there were still many people waiting nearby, Tom didn't think about it anymore and simply threw the lighter into the bag.

After collecting goods for a while longer, and seeing that no one was selling to him anymore, Tom packed up his bags and prepared to leave.

"Are you coming again tomorrow?" someone asked from the side.

Tom chuckled, "I'll probably come again... You probably already know what I'm going to collect, so..."

"Understood! We'll be ready!"

“I hope your goods are genuine. You know I have plenty of money…” Tom said confidently.

Everyone looked at Tom with awe.

Anyone in a place like Knockturn Alley would clutch their wallet tightly to avoid attracting attention, but this guy seemed to want to wear his wallet on his face, letting everyone know he was rich…

He doesn't seem like a fool, so there's only one possibility: he's a very powerful dark wizard.

Tom wasn't actually that brave, but when he and Riverd parted ways, Riverd added a small module to his Hydra ring.

In this way, whenever he encounters danger, Li Weide can Apparate and appear beside him at any time.

With a pervert like Li Weide protecting him, Tom felt incredibly bold!

Sure enough, Tom left Knockdown Alley unharmed.

However, just when he thought everything was fine and was about to leave Diagon Alley, he keenly sensed that someone was watching him from behind!

Tom raised an eyebrow and turned directly into a secluded alley.

At the same time, his fingers were already tightly gripping the ring.

Tom turned around, looking at the empty alleyway in front of him. "Who are you, and why are you following me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in the alleyway in front of Tom, which had been empty.

The person was also wearing a black cloak, but judging from her figure, she was a witch.

Tom frowned. This was actually a Disillusionment Charm?

The Illusion Charm that can make one completely invisible... To date, Tom has only ever seen Levi achieve this.

Of course, Dumbledore might be able to as well, but Tom has never seen him, so he won't comment.

“You just bought a lot of things… Among them, there was a lighter that I originally wanted to buy, but I didn’t have enough money before. By the time I got the money back, you had already bought it, so… could you resell that lighter to me? Anyway, it’s not of any use to you.” The witch’s voice was very young.

A lighter? Tom remembered the lighter he had examined earlier.

"Sorry, I won't sell it to you. You're just too late." Tom refused outright.

Just kidding, buying things is like opening blind boxes; you never know which one is the real treasure.

But now... he has confirmed something good... something that could make this witch risk coming all this way to buy it, could it be something ordinary?

Since it wasn't an ordinary item, he naturally didn't want to sell it; Tom wasn't short of money.

After Tom refused, the atmosphere in the alley became heavy.

Tom felt immense pressure emanating from the other person...

Damn, this guy seems pretty strong... Tom felt a little panicked.

"You should sell it to me. You only paid ten Galleons when you bought it. I can offer twenty..." The witch still didn't give up.

"You should know, I'm not short of money." Tom's finger had already quietly pressed the button on the ring.

however……

Nothing happened! Li Weide, who was expected to appear right next to me, didn't even show up!
Damn! What a rip-off! What kind of module did this guy create? Is it even working?! Tom is now filled with regret, regretting not testing it before leaving…

But it seems a little too late to regret it now.

However, despite being extremely panicked, Tom managed to maintain a semblance of composure.

He knew very well that he could only be safe by pretending to be very strong.

Otherwise, the other party might just snatch it directly...

If I show weakness, those guys who were robbing me in the alley might come and join in the robbery.

Who knows if they were secretly watching from the sidelines? The methods of a dark wizard are impossible to guard against!

"Sigh... there's nothing I can do about it then." The witch slowly drew her wand.

"What? You want to rob me? Then come and try."

Tom said calmly, looking just like a real, powerful wizard.

Having spent a lot of time with those powerful wizards, Tom had also picked up some of their mannerisms, so he looked very composed.

However, the witch opposite him was more confident than he was, and did not hesitate at all because of his words.

“I just want the lighter. I just need to knock you out, take the lighter, and then give you the money, and then it won’t be considered robbery,” the witch said.

"Tsk, have you no shame? Forcing someone to buy or sell... what's the difference between this and robbery?" Tom roared.

The witch shook her head. "That lighter is a bit important to me... so, sorry. I'll give you one hundred Galleons as compensation later."

Tom was stunned. Was this thing really that valuable? They were asking for 100 Galleons right off the bat…

"Stab!"

A red spell suddenly appeared in front of Tom.

Tom has been practicing dueling diligently for a long time, and with so many powerful wizards as his teachers, his skill level is naturally quite good.

Therefore, he blocked the curse in time.

The witch on the other side certainly knew that Tom was no weakling, otherwise she wouldn't have swaggered into Knockturn Alley to flaunt her wealth.

So, the second curse has arrived!
"bump!"

The spells collided, producing a violent explosion.

Tom's wrist was numb from the shock...

Oh no! This guy is a real expert!

Tom secretly regretted that if he had known that bastard Li Weide was so unreliable, he would have agreed to sell to him in the first place!

The battle continues.

At first, Tom was able to hold on, but later on, the witch seemed to unleash her full power, employing incredibly elaborate and dazzling offensive tactics...

This was the first time Tom had ever seen a curse that, after being dodged, could somehow change direction and continue attacking him...

Tom narrowly dodged a spell and then used a disarming spell to block a stun spell.

However, the stun spell that should have been blocked suddenly split into three!

Holy crap! This attack method looks so familiar!

Tom narrowly escaped again, but his heart was filled with coldness.

Because the opponent can launch such an attack countless times...

"Spicy Balls..."

Tom suddenly yelled, "Lee Wade! You bastard, you were all here, and you just stood by and watched me get beaten up, weren't you?! You should at least consider the occasion before you try to scam me! I'm hanging up!"

"Huh? How did you know I'd arrived?"

"Stab!"

Like ice and snow melting away, the dozen or so spells the witch had cast vanished into thin air...

Li Weide stood smiling in front of Tom.

"Shit! Levi! I should have guessed! How could your alchemy be wrong, you bastard? You must have been there all along, hiding and watching!" Tom expressed his strong condemnation of Levi's unscrupulous behavior.

"Ahem, I just wanted to see how much your skill has improved. With me here, do you still need to worry about getting beaten to death?" Li Weide said somewhat guiltily.

"Pah! Wade, I'll never trust you again!" Tom was furious, but secretly he breathed a huge sigh of relief; at least his life was safe...

Even if you have help, I still hope you can sell me that lighter.

As the witch spoke, she flicked her hand, and several enormous, man-eating cabbages appeared beside her, their mouths agape, eager to attack Levi and Tom.

Li Weide turned to look at the witch, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"Tom, give me the lighter."

Tom had no choice but to silently take out his lighter.

Li Weide took it and glanced at it, a smile appearing on his lips. "Just as I thought..."

"Very well, if you're willing to sell to me... then we won't have to fight..."

Before the witch could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a cool breeze.

In an instant, her black cloak shattered inch by inch in the wind!
Tom exclaimed in shock, "Milavia!?"

The witch's true identity was now fully revealed to the two of them.

She looks exactly like Miravia.

Although she was simply dressed, Li Wade still noticed a small Gryffindor badge on the scarf around her neck.

Wow, the senior in this world is a Gryffindor!

She seems to be a senior who still follows the "kind" route!

Tsk... Trying to kidnap her.
