My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 457, Section 454: Hunter and Prey

Less than ten minutes passed between Lynn crawling out of the cave and encountering the first group of people.

Only the area where they were hiding on the island had trees suitable for concealment; the other two-thirds of the area was covered with scattered trees and mostly weeds.

Furthermore, since they ultimately disappeared in this forest, this is also the main target of the wizards' search.

Including the Congressional Aurors and the hired international wizards, 90% of the manpower was assigned to this forest.

The division of responsibilities between Aurors and hired wizards is also very clear.

The security chief, O'Brien, deployed all his men to the skies above the forest, where they rode flying broomsticks to keep watch in mid-air.

Meanwhile, the hired wizards went into the forest to conduct a thorough search. As soon as they found something, they would send a signal into the sky, and all the Aurors in the air would gather and rush to the scene immediately.

The current search efforts by the hired wizards are still at least 3 kilometers away from where Lynn and Hermione are hiding.

After emerging from the cave, Lynn cast a Disguise Charm on himself, concealing his body within the surrounding environment.

He walked westward into the woods and soon discovered a small group of wizards consisting of three people of Asian descent.

Lynn was completely unaware that O'Brien had hired an international wizarding team, and was utterly baffled by the situation.

He clearly remembered that most of the wizards who were chasing him were white, with a small number of blacks, but he had never seen any Asians.

After observing the group for a long time, he realized that these three yellow-skinned wizards did not fit the characteristics of any Asians, but rather resembled Mexican Americans.

Lynn noticed that the language they were using sounded somewhat like Spanish, which further confirmed his suspicions.

Confused by the presence of Mexican sorcerers, Lynn decided to arrest the three men and question them first.

Even if he was born with a sarcastic nature, Mexico, whether in his past life or this one, was a place completely unrelated to him, and he really didn't know when he had offended any of the wizards there.

The process of capturing the three Mexican sorcerers was not complicated at all.

Although magic varies significantly from region to region, once wands became widespread, almost all wizards cast spells by waving their wands, chanting incantations, and then using the spell. In this respect, they are all quite similar.

Lynn had only heard that so far only some tribal shamans in Africa did not have the habit of using wands, and they still followed the ancient and unstable hand gestures for casting spells.

The three Mexican wizards were knocked to the ground before they could even react to Lynn's triple-amplified Spread Coma Curse.

Lynn was quite lucky; the three he encountered were among the weaker of the hired wizards.

Experienced hired wizards would constantly apply an armor charm to themselves when carrying out dangerous missions like this, precisely to guard against such sneak attacks.

Lynn took the three wizards to a secluded place, randomly picked one of them who looked more pleasing to the eye, woke him up with a spell-breaking technique, and then, without saying a word, pinched his mouth and poured three drops of truth serum into it.

The Truth Potion he was carrying was all made from Snape's money; the three bottles Rozier had given him earlier had long been squandered.

Using Truth Potion all the time for questioning is a bit wasteful. Lynn is planning to visit Dumbledore's office more often after school starts to see if he can learn some advanced Legilimency spells from him.

Consider it compensation for what happened to him this time.

When the incident at Fontana ended, Lynn expressed that he couldn't swallow his anger. It was Deng Xiaoping who said that he would take care of the matter and would contact the US Congress.

Before a year had even passed, this happened again, and Dumbledore naturally had to give him an explanation.

Being able to become an internationally employed wizard means that these Mexicans are proficient in English in addition to their native languages ​​such as Spanish.

Under the powerful truth serum personally brewed by Lynn, the wizard answered whatever he asked. Soon Lynn understood why wizards from other countries were on the island, and also confirmed that, as expected, the wizards chasing him were all Aurors from the Magical Congress of the United States.

However, his exact location on Earth is still unknown.

These later wizards all first arrived at an island not far from here using a Portkey, and then rode flying broomsticks to get here. They didn't know which ocean they had come to or what island they were on.

After figuring out everything he wanted to know, Lynn didn't hold back and used a killing curse on each of the three Mexican wizards.

It's no wonder Lynn was so murderous; these people were just doing their jobs for money, but their goal was very clear: to kill Lynn and Hermione and use their lives to make money.

Therefore, Lynn did not hesitate at all when he started.

If these people die, someone will pity them. But if he and Hermione are killed, who will pity them?

Moreover, none of the so-called hired wizards were good people to begin with.

They've done countless dirty jobs for the Ministry of Magic in private, and each of them has a lot of blood on their hands.

Lynn felt no remorse whatsoever for killing them.

After confirming that the wizards searching him were basically all employed by the Magical Congress of the United States, just like the three Mexican wizards.

Lynn, like a hunter entering a hunting ground, slipped into the woods and began searching for his prey.

His plan was actually quite simple.

There were quite a few of these hired wizards, but they were only after Lynn's life to make a fortune.

He just needs to kill enough of them—not even all of them, just a few dozen—and the rest will realize that American money isn't so easy to earn, and they'll naturally back down.

Then he can have a good talk with the remaining Aurors from the American Magic Congress.

How should we settle this score today?

Not long after Lynn dealt with the three Mexican wizards he had encountered, he met a second wizard-hired wizard squad.

This team has a large number of people, with a total of 6 wizards, four white and two black, all of whom are male wizards.

Moreover, they were clearly much more experienced, and each of them always carried Iron Armor Spells.
