At this moment, there were two sounds of something being knocked over behind Wentworth, and then, only the angry voice of Jimon Hughes came from behind Wentworth:

"Wentworth, what did you do to my sister?!"

As he spoke, Djimon Hughes rushed to Wentworth and stood in front of Emma Hughes. Then, Djimon Hughes reached out and took out the wand in his arms.

However, before Djimon Hughes could hold the wand firmly, Wentworth waved his hand and the wand in Djimon Hughes' hand flew out. Wentworth said expressionlessly: "Djimon, next time you meet other people, you should use wandless casting directly. Your speed is too slow!"

Just when Jimon Hughes was about to fight Wentworth, he heard Emma Hughes' voice behind him:

"Gimon, it's not Wentworth's fault. It's my fault."

Hearing what Emma Hughes said, Jimon Hughes glared at Wentworth fiercely, and then stepped aside unwillingly.

At this moment, Emma Hughes was wiping her tears with both hands, and she said, "I'm sorry, Wentworth, for making you laugh! It's just that some things have been weighing on my heart for too long, and it's hard to breathe!"

Seeing this, Wentworth couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Actually, I really don't want to ask you what happened... Tell me, why did you let Jimon Hughes say those words to me? What do you want to do?"

At this time, Emma Hughes's emotions had gradually calmed down. When she heard Wentworth's question, she bowed slightly in Wentworth's direction, and then slowly said, "In fact, everything I asked Jimon to tell you is true!"

Wentworth couldn't help but frowned when he heard Emma Hughes' first words, but Wentworth didn't interrupt Emma Hughes. Instead, he listened quietly. Then, Emma Hughes continued:

"About two or three years ago, I discovered some very strange things. First of all, I could clearly feel that the quality of the herbs that Vagadu provided to students for potion practice was getting worse and worse!"

"I once asked Professor Laura, who teaches the potion class, about this. She explained to me that this is to increase the difficulty. If you use herbs of lower quality, you can still make a qualified potion. This means that you have truly mastered the potion. At that time, I believed it!"

Hearing this, Wentworth's brows couldn't help but frowned even deeper. Wentworth had never heard Snape say such a thing before. If it really worked, Wentworth believed that Snape would definitely ask Professor Sprout to cultivate some inferior herbs without hesitation.

Emma Hughes continued:

"Later, I discovered another very strange situation. Among the new students enrolled in Wagadu, there was a significant increase in the number of wizards from large tribes, such as the Konni tribe!"

At this point, Jimon Xius, who had been listening quietly, suddenly said, "No, sister, the new students you asked me to find out about before are not from the Kony tribe!"

Hearing what Jimon Hughes said, Emma Hughes shook her head and said, "They must have secretly changed their names, and someone is covering up their origins! You know, surnames can be deceiving."

"Although surnames can be deceiving, smells can't! The smell on them is very similar to Joseph and the others. They must have grown up in the same environment. Therefore, they must be from the Coni tribe. There is no doubt about that!"

Hearing Emma Hughes' words and thinking of the talent she had shown, Wentworth couldn't help but nodded secretly.

But this is not the end. After a pause, Emma Hughes continued, "But what really made me certain was that one time, I wanted to try to make a new potion and went to ask Professor Laura for advice. Professor Laura gave me the key to the secret room where the herbs were kept in Vagado and asked me to go to the secret room to get the herbs myself. But she told me not to let anyone else find out."

"Actually, this is not the first time. Professor Laura often asks me to go to the secret room alone to get herbs. Professor Laura once hinted to me that if I take more, no one will notice. I know that Professor Laura is doing this for my own good, so that I can have more materials to practice with. However, I always pretended not to understand her hint."

"However, this time, not long after I entered the secret room, I heard footsteps outside the secret room, so I hid myself immediately. And it was this time that I discovered the secret of Principal Leila Lopez!"

Having said this, Emma Hughes couldn't help but tremble all over again. It took a long time before she gradually calmed down.

"The person who came to the secret room with Principal Leila Lopez was Joseph Cony. I heard Joseph Cony say to Principal Leila Lopez: Principal, my father is very satisfied with the herbs that we, Vagadu, have provided in recent times. Therefore, this time we will add 10% more gold galleons on top of what we promised!"

"What shocked me even more was what they said afterwards. Joseph Cony asked Principal Leila Lopez if she could give the Cony tribe ten more places at Wagadu this year. For each place, the Cony tribe could give Principal Leila Lopez three hundred gold galleons!"

"I don't remember the process very clearly, but I remember clearly that they finally reached an agreement. Vagadu would give the Conni tribe five more admission places. For each place, the Conni tribe would need to pay Principal Leila Lopez 360 gold galleons!"

At this point, Emma Hughes fell silent, and Wentworth was also extremely shocked. If what Emma Hughes said was true, then this could definitely be called a rare scandal in the history of magic! As the principal of a magic school, she privately sold herbs grown in the school, and even sold the school's admission quotas. Not to mention that she had never heard of such a thing, I'm afraid many wizards had never thought about it.

But Wentworth didn't think that Emma Hughes was deceiving herself. First of all, Emma Hughes had no reason to deceive herself, and it would not do her any good.

Secondly, Wentworth also believed that the other party knew Dumbledore's strength. Dumbledore wanted to know the secrets in a person's mind, and few people could keep this secret.

Therefore, what Emma Hughes told me was most likely true.

The pressure was on Wentworth.
