Chapter 471 Discharge from Hospital

Before today, Mike didn't believe that there was any pressure or murderous aura in this world, but Dumbledore broke his cognition.

Until now, he still couldn't believe it. Dumbledore just showed his angry face and his hair stood on end. The magic power in his body was stimulated by an indescribable horror feeling and spontaneously surged out to protect the master!

It must be said that this move is actually somewhat useful. At least after his own magic power gushed out, Mike felt a lot better. The shield composed of magic power gave him a strong sense of security.

But after just a little surprise, Mike took all the magic power back into his body.

This kind of spontaneous behavior in the face of danger is as ridiculous as cats and dogs will explode when encountering enemies, and monkeys will shout when encountering tigers, in an attempt to scare off the enemy through such bluffing behavior.

Although this is the instinct of living things, Mike is ashamed of it!

After withdrawing his magic power, Mike felt the strong pressure again. It was a very bad experience. Mike even had the urge to run away.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he clenched his teeth and stared at Dumbledore.

You know, Dumbledore was seriously injured. Mike didn't think he could keep this state for long, so he would win as long as he persisted.

"What are you doing!"

Professor Flitwick's anxious voice came from the side. Dumbledore's expression eased a little when he heard it, and he turned his head to look at him.

"I'm sorry, Filius, I lost my composure."

With his movement, the imposing aura in the ward disappeared instantly. Mike's body suddenly relaxed, panting and looking at Dumbledore with a gloomy face.

Mike was embarrassed this time. At this moment, his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Mike, apologize to Principal Dumbledore quickly, and then cancel the reward of 10,000 gold galleons!"

Professor Flitwick said in a stern manner.

Hearing this, Dumbledore turned his head and looked at Mike again, and Mike squinted his eyes and looked at him.

After a while, the corners of Mike's mouth slightly raised, and he slowly said:

"Okay."

"Oh! Wouldn't it be better if you said so earlier? A good boy is one who admits his mistakes and corrects them." Professor Flitwick showed a look of joy, turned around and said to Dumbledore with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Headmaster! Mike was really not scared this time, so he did such an extreme thing. But don't worry, I have already taught him a lesson, and in the future..."

"But I have conditions!"

Mike interrupted Professor Flitwick and said to Dumbledore with a wicked smile.

Professor Flitwick's face changed drastically, he turned his head suddenly, and just as he was about to scold Mike, he heard Dumbledore beside him whispered:

"Tell me."

Professor Flitwick opened his mouth in surprise. A wizard of Dumbledore's level would actually negotiate conditions with Mike, which almost shattered his three views.

"Next, I will personally find the assassin. My actions may be a little big, but you must ignore them. You must also hand over the right to dispose of the assassin to me."

"Listen Mike," Dumbledore shook his head and said sincerely, "We will definitely catch the assassin. Give me a little more time..."

"He almost killed me!" Mike roared, "I must find him out myself, and then cut him into pieces!"

Looking at the excited Mike, Dumbledore's brows were tightly twisted together. He felt as if he had just met Mike for the first time today.

"Hogwarts cannot fall into chaos for a long time. Students still need to study."

"This matter will be over before Christmas. Even if I haven't caught the assassin by then, I will stop all my actions." Mike said, "And I will remain restrained. If you think I'm going too far, you can stop me at any time."

Dumbledore closed his eyes painfully, and after a long time, he slowly said:

"Okay."

...

An hour later, Professor Flitwick had already rushed to the classroom, and Mike walked out of the infirmary under the complicated gaze of Madam Pomfrey.

In the corridor, Franklin and Zhou Hong had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Mike coming, Franklin's expression immediately became bitter. He carefully leaned to Mike's side and said guiltily:

"I'm sorry, Mike, I haven't found the assassin yet."

Hearing this, Mike glanced at Franklin. It was impossible to tell whether there were dark circles on the other's dark face, but the slightly swollen face and huge bags under the eyes proved that he was not lazy.

Mike shook his head and was about to comfort Franklin when he heard Zhou Hong say unhappily:

"Come on, it's not our fault. Who made you discharged so early? However, although we didn't find the assassin, we still prepared a discharge gift for you."

"Oh?"

Mike looked at Franklin in surprise. There was no guilt on his face at this moment. He said proudly:

"Yes, I hid him in the Room of Requirement. You'll know when you see it."

Mike was taken to the Room of Requirement by Franklin and Zhou Hong with curiosity. At this time, the Room of Requirement was in a prison state. They walked through dozens of empty cages, and finally saw the gift that Franklin and Zhou Hong mentioned in the deepest cell-Draco Malfoy.

Draco was no longer as refined as before. He was panting and slumped on the cold stone floor with an aggrieved expression. His neat platinum-colored slicked-back hair had long become messy, and his clothes and even the exposed skin were covered with stains.

Hearing the footsteps, Draco instinctively covered his head with trembling hands, not even daring to look up at the person coming.

"Did you use Cruciatus on him?"

Mike asked in confusion. Draco looked so embarrassed at the moment, and most importantly, he seemed to have some mental problems.

"Of course not! We didn't even touch him! The scratches and dirt on his body were all caused by himself!"

"Then why did he become like this?"

"Well, this is just a side effect of reading memory. A good sleep will cure it." Zhou Hong said awkwardly, "Mike, I assure you, we really didn't torture him. After all, we are not devils!"

Mike looked at Draco, who was still shivering in the cell, and then looked at Zhou Hong, who was now facing Mike with a harmless smile.

Sighing, Mike asked:

"So, what did you know from his memory?"

Franklin and Zhou Hong smiled at each other, and the latter said proudly:

"Big secret!"

Franklin continued:

"That's right, you would never have thought that the Malfoy family has completely surrendered to Voldemort. Now Voldemort and the Death Eaters are staying in Malfoy Manor and regard it as their lair! Moreover, Voldemort has given Draco a task, which is to assassinate you and Dumbledore!"

As soon as these words came out, Mike's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Draco.

The fact that Draco would assassinate Dumbledore was recorded in the original book, and he knew it a long time ago.

But he really didn't expect that Draco would include his name in the assassination plan this time.

For a moment, Mike looked at Draco with a dangerous look.

Draco in the cell seemed to have noticed Mike's eyes. He trembled even more and kept muttering, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's not me! It's not me..."

"Mike, don't get excited. This assassination has nothing to do with him." Franklin said hurriedly, "Although he has already planned to assassinate you, he just hasn't acted yet."

"Oh? How is he going to kill me?"

"A cursed gem necklace, which he got from Knockturn Alley. The curse on it is very deadly. Anyone who touches it will lose consciousness instantly. If not treated in time, he will die within half an hour. He plans to give this necklace to you as a Christmas gift."

Mike's eyes twitched. He knew very well that what Franklin was talking about was the opal necklace in the original book. Draco was originally going to use this thing to assassinate Dumbledore, but he didn't expect it to be used on him now.

It has to be said that pure-blooded nobles like Malfoy have their natural advantages. Such powerful black magic props are almost at their fingertips.

But Draco is obviously not very smart. Mike receives countless Christmas gifts every year, and some of them are prank props for him, so he gave the task of opening Christmas gifts and giving gifts to the house elves a few years ago.

Besides, even if Mike opened the gift from Draco himself, how could he wear a lady's necklace? Mike is not a cross-dresser!

Looking at Draco who was still talking to himself in the cell, Mike shook his head slowly.

He really wanted to have a good talk with him (fool), but the other party's condition was too bad now.

"Let's go," Mike said, "Let's go back to the base. As for him, let him have a good sleep."

Zhou Hong and Franklin nodded and followed Mike out. Before leaving, they forced Draco, who was fainted, to sleep.

When Mike and others returned to the Masonic Secret Realm, Penelope and Benjamin and other core members of the Freemasonry were already in place. Like Franklin, they had received the news that Mike was about to be discharged from the hospital, so they waited here early.

However, their expressions were not very good, because Mike's discharge time was advanced. In view of the impact of what they did secretly on Hogwarts, although Mike repeatedly explained that his injuries had healed, they still felt that this might be because Hogwarts was unwilling to continue to treat Mike.

And it was not until they saw Mike alive and well and felt the surging magic in his body that everyone finally smiled.

As the strongest among them, Mike is undoubtedly the cornerstone of Freemasonry. If something happens to Mike, let alone pursuing greater interests, it would be great if Freemasonry did not fall apart.

After a few greetings with everyone, the meeting room finally quieted down. Everyone returned to their seats, and Mike also sat down.

"Although this incident was an accident, the result is still good for us." Mike rubbed his hands and said, "Not long ago, I just made a deal with Dumbledore, so our actions will not be disturbed before Christmas, and we can go all out to hunt down the assassin, but at the same time, you need to pay attention to the fact that we must mobilize the emotions of those ordinary students during the action. It is very important for us to win them over. Do you understand?"

After speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Franklin and Zhou Hong, who were the main operators of this operation on campus.

Seeing the latter nod, Mike withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and continued:

"Of course, in exchange, we must help Dumbledore get rid of those people who are now gathered at the school gate. If this group of people really invade Hogwarts, it will not be good for all of us."

Penelope frowned.

She was the one who issued the order to issue the bounty order. At that time, she mainly wanted to use external pressure to force Dumbledore to surrender. Now it seems that although the effect is good, it is not an easy task to disband the group of wizards in a short time.

After all, those people are desperate criminals. They will not agree to the bounty order.

Penelope fell into deep thought. This is a very tricky problem. If it goes wrong, the group of people may turn around and deal with them. Since they don't want to give the bounty, the group of people will come to get it themselves. While

Penelope was thinking hard, Mike smiled lightly, waved his hand and said,

"This matter is actually very easy to handle. I have already thought of a way."

"Penelope, you will cancel the bounty on the assassin later." Mike sneered, "Then issue a new bounty, Voldemort-Tom Marvolo Riddle, the bounty is 100,000 gold galleons!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room exclaimed. They didn't even dare to think about bountying Voldemort.

But Mike hadn't finished speaking yet. After a brief pause, he continued:

"Then, Bellatrix Lestrange has a bounty of 10,000. Lucius Malfoy has a bounty of 5,000..."

Mike quickly reported the names of the Death Eaters one by one and their respective bounties. With each name he announced, everyone's eyes became brighter.

They already understood what Mike wanted to do, to kill someone with a borrowed knife, to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger!

The power of money is infinite. Under the stimulation of this huge amount of money, countless desperadoes will rush to the Death Eaters and treat them as prey. Voldemort, who has the highest bounty, is actually just a gimmick. Mike just wants to rely on his name and the sky-high bounty to spread public opinion. He never thought that someone would take Voldemort's head to claim the reward.

Of course, if someone really did this, Mike would give the bounty even if he had to sell everything he had, because it means that the person who hunted Voldemort is so powerful that even Voldemort is no match for him.

"That's about it. You can set the bounty for the rest of the Death Eaters. Anyway, anyone with the Dark Mark on their arm will become a bounty target!"

After saying that, Mike leaned back on the soft sofa chair, while the others in the meeting room started a heated discussion!
