The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 382 Something's happened! (Please subscribe)

The last announcement stunned everyone.

"Was it Jiu Neng who personally took action?"

"Wasn't it the Quanmu Brothers who attacked Beauxbatons?"

Hibiscus turned her head in surprise towards Beauxbatons, "Michaela was already there when the first defensive tower was destroyed, and even Michaela couldn't stop Nine?"

"In the individual duel, Michaela defeated Nine!" Krum exclaimed. "What's happening now is unbelievable."

"Don't forget that Nine's leg was broken by Moriarty," Tonks's expression turned slightly serious, "yet Nine still defeated Michaela and destroyed the defensive tower."

"Jiu Neng may possess a secret technique; his strength is now no weaker than mine."

Moriarty paused for a moment, subtly reminding his companion.

We cannot reveal that Yuzuru Kafu is controlling Kuno yet, otherwise it will cause a huge uproar.

"If that's the case, then it's not surprising." Furong suddenly realized, and then asked, "But while possessing great strength, one must also lose something, right? It's impossible to improve without any side effects."

"Perhaps it's some kind of evil black magic," Hubble guessed. His family had records of black magic that could temporarily boost one's strength but at a huge cost.

The group moved forward while exchanging ideas.

Strangely, when they reached the second tower in the middle lane, no players came out to defend it.

After Charlie and his three companions cleared the minion wave, they, along with Moriarty, easily destroyed the second tower in the middle lane.

"Where are the contestants from the Magic Institute?"

Tonks suddenly had a terrible thought: "What if they all went to attack Beauxbatons?"

Furong's face turned pale instantly.

With the entire Magic Institute mobilized, Beauxbatons certainly couldn't stop them.

"Jiu Neng can't be that stupid, can he?"

Moriarty's eyes gleamed. "If I were Nine, I would send others to continue the attack on Beauxbatons while I go back to defend."

"How about this," Moriarty said, looking at everyone and making a decision: "Charlie, Hubble, Krum, and... Brian."

"Go back to your respective defensive towers."

Then, Moriarty patted the three girls on the shoulders.

"Hibiscus, Tonks, Little Vandro, you all go back too."

"Something unpredictable might happen next, and I don't want you to get hurt."

Moriarty offered a considerate explanation to his girl.

However, the obscure explanations were unacceptable to them.

Why?

Tonks opened her palms, looking incredulous; she had never seen Moriarty like this before.

In Tonks' memory, the bad junior was always calm and confident, handling everything with ease.

At this moment, a terrible uncertainty was pulling Moriarty and the others apart, widening the distance between them.

"The reason?" Moriarty lowered his eyes. "If possible, I think you'd never know in your lives."

"However," Moriarty smiled faintly, looked up at the girls with sparkling eyes, "it's more likely that I'm overthinking it, maybe there's nothing at all."

"Then...why say all that?"

"In short," Moriarty made his decision, "I will now face Nine alone."

Tonks refused without even thinking: "No way!"

She gripped her wand tightly, her face showing a determination to fight to the end. "I won't let you be alone."

Instead, Hibiscus slowly loosened her grip on Moriarty, her eyes glistening with tears. "Alright, Moriarty, I'll listen to you. If it's you, then everything will be fine."

"That's a good girl," Moriarty patted Fleur's head. "Senior Nymph, you have to be good too."

"Let's trust Mr. Moriarty," Charlie urged from behind.

Brian stated, "Mr. Moriarty, your leadership and noble character have moved me deeply."

"I promise you that Ilfamoni will not attack Hogwarts until a victor emerges between you and the Magic Institute."

"If you need anything, just let us know. We'll be there whenever you need us."

"The same goes for Durmstrang," Krum said solemnly.

"That's right," Hubble echoed.

They all gleaned some meaning from Moriarty's words.

The four-school alliance was doing well, but the sudden change in Jiuneng shattered this harmony.

Moriarty must have sensed danger, which is why he stopped us from continuing the attack.

All four boys thought so, and Fleur accepted Moriarty's arrangement; she always trusted Moriarty unconditionally.

Tonks gazed at Moriarty with deep affection, her eyes filled with tears; she was making a difficult decision.

Moriarty sighed slightly; he had anticipated Tonks' reaction.

Of the girls, Tonks is the most stubborn, Lilith is the most proud, and Diana, who was the most aloof, becomes the most obedient after being seduced.

Fleur persuaded Tonks from the side, and Tonks was eventually convinced.

"I'll be with you."

Violet, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

She looked at Moriarty silently, her big eyes unblinking. "With me by your side, they might not kill you."

Moriarty paused slightly, then nodded: "Okay, follow me."

Once the decision was made, the group split into two teams and set off from different directions.

On the way, Moriarty asked in a deep voice, "What else do you know?"

Violet appeared remarkably calm. "I didn't want to hide it from you. I didn't tell you before because I only knew the general outline."

"What is it roughly?"

"It was probably my mother who came to Hogwarts."

"Then what."

"So you knew after all." Seeing Moriarty's calm expression, Violet gave him a fawning smile. "So this doesn't count as me knowing and not telling you, does it?"

"Yes, of course it counts! I'm going to punish you."

Moriarty suddenly smiled. With Violet by his side, this short journey wasn't so boring after all.

"Waaaaaah ≥﹏≤"

Violet pouted, her eyes pleading, yet also filled with a hint of anticipation and joy.

"I want to punish them."

Violet said to Moriarty with a seductive look in her eyes.

"Here?"

Moriarty surveyed his surroundings. The dense grass could comfortably accommodate two people, and the flat, warm lawn wouldn't let him catch a cold even if he lay down on it.

"It's a nice place."

Moriarty kneaded Violet's small hands. "How about...?"

Just then, a gust of wind blew overhead.

"Wuhu~"

"Yo ho~"

"Jellicoe, the Broomstick Knight, is here!"

Jericho roared past us on a Nimbus 1990S.

Like a cowboy, Jericho made a hat-removing gesture, raising one hand and waving it wildly, even though there was nothing on his head.

Hello~

Jericho landed in front of Moriarty, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You've been waiting long, haven't you? Roman, that guy, is pretty strong. It took us a while to deal with him."

"No, you've come at just the right time."

Moriarty punched his friend in the fist. "Watch out, one wrong move and you're dead."

"I ran into Charlie and the others on the way," Jericho said seriously. "They told me that it's finally time to close the net, and I can't wait to see the dejected look on Hanyu Kafu's face."

"There's someone behind Yuzuru Kafu, and this time he's really here."

Moriarty turned his gaze forward, the high tower of the magic institute was right in front of him.

"OK," Jericho said, his gaze shifting to Violet. "By the way, what's this little vampire doing here?"

Violet glared at Jericho fiercely, "You ruined my plans!"

I almost got a shameful punishment just now.

Unfortunately, Jericho came.

Jericho was bewildered by her stare and decided to ignore her.

"Continuing with Violet, what's her name?"

Moriarty steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Well," Violet said sullenly, "all I know is that Mother and Father know a powerful group of people. I once overheard Mother telling Father, 'They're so strong, even the Cain Brotherhood is no match for them now.'"

"The Brotherhood of Cain!"

"Cain?"

Moriarty and Jericho exchanged a glance.

"Merlin," Jericho said, scratching his head, "the legendary son of Adam and Eve?"

"Yes, yes," Violet said with pride, "All vampires originated from Cain, and we, the Ventura vampires, are among Cain's children."

"The legendary figures from mythology are actually real!" Jericho exclaimed in disbelief.

"The Princess said that even the Cain Brotherhood is no match for them..." Moriarty was more concerned about this.

"Them? Who are they? And who is the Princess Consort? Is she beautiful? I don't understand what you're saying!"

Jericho felt that being there was a mistake.

Suddenly, Jericho shivered as Violet stared at him with icy eyes.

"Your Highness, you are my mother, thank you," Violet said stiffly, though she now wanted to devour Jericho.

"Ah? Hahaha... How rude of me." Jericho awkwardly touched his short hair, and to ease the tension, asked Moriarty, "And who are they?"

"They are our opponents."

"arrive."

After Moriarty finished speaking, he stopped walking.

Nine was standing in front of the Highland Tower, facing Moriarty and his two companions.

No, he's not like Jiu Neng anymore.

His hair had fallen out, and his skin had turned pale, except for his face, which had turned an eerie, jet-black color.

His facial features were all elongated and then misplaced on his face.

Like the people in Van Gogh's painting, they are extremely distorted.

He gave a wicked smile and spoke in the voice of Yuzuru Kaze!

"Moriarty, you've finally arrived!"

"And you, Jericho, aren't you going to keep up the act any longer?!"

Meanwhile, in the audience outside, Dumbledore discovered that Hanyu Kafu had disappeared.

"Oh no, something's happened!"

Dumbledore quickly gathered his men.
