Chapter 488 Disgusting Woman
In the Hogwarts principal's office, Kingsley was speechless by what Mrs. Kent said.
Although the things Mrs. Kent said were all done by the previous officials of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and had nothing to do with him, outsiders didn't care about that.
In their view, Kingsley was completely the same as those officials in the past!
Kingsley naturally understood this truth, so he didn't argue, but at the same time he didn't want to give up, so he began to organize his words and prepare for the last wave of persuasion to Mrs. Kent.
However, before he could speak, Mike stood up and said,
"Well, now that everything has been figured out, I have to stay here."
After that, he pulled his collar and said to Mrs. Kent with a smile,
"Mrs. Kent, are you interested in sitting with me? I still have some questions to ask you. If nothing goes wrong, you should be able to get a lot of Galleons after this."
Hearing this, Mrs. Kent first showed a horrified expression, but after hearing Mike's last words, her expression became tangled.
However, this tangled expression only lasted for a moment before it was replaced by determination. She stood up and said,
"Okay!"
Kingsley was anxious, and he also stood up and shouted at Mike,
"No, you can't leave! Mike, do you think you can escape the punishment of the law like this? I tell you, this is a daydream! I will always catch you!"
Mike's footsteps paused, and he knew very well that Kingsley was telling the truth.
The fact that the people do not report and the officials do not investigate is based on the premise that the case is not serious and the law enforcers are too troublesome.
If the law enforcers insist on holding someone accountable for the violation, then the victim's opinion is actually not important.
In other words, as long as Kingsley has solid evidence to prove that Clark was indeed killed by Mike, then he has the right to let Mike accept the punishment of the law directly.
But... is it really that easy?
Mike's mouth raised a strange arc, and then he neither argued nor left the office directly, but turned his head to look at a giant wall clock in the corner of the office.
"According to the time, Benjamin should be almost there..."
Mike murmured, and just as he finished speaking, an owl flew in from the skylight of the office with a letter in its mouth and landed in front of Kingsley.
Kingsley's eyes swept over the copper ring on the owl's ankle, and his heart tightened - this is an owl that belongs to the Ministry of Magic!
Kingsley immediately took the letter and prepared to check it, but before he could open it, the blood-red letter paper in the envelope flew out from it, and automatically folded into the shape of a mouth in the air.
"Kingsley! Come back now, right now! Do you know how busy the Ministry of Magic is now? Those damn Death Eaters and criminals are almost filling up the Department of Magical Law Enforcement! And at this time, as the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, you are not working hard to solve these problems in the Ministry of Magic, but you are working for Dumbledore outside of working hours! You really disappoint me, Kingsley. Sometimes I really can't figure out whether you are an official of the Ministry of Magic or Dumbledore's hound. Maybe I should think about whether you are qualified for your current position."
Scrimgeour's hoarse and dull voice kept coming through the red origami mouth. The sound was so loud that the portraits on the office walls trembled slightly. Kingsley,
who was the first to bear the brunt of it, was even more pale. He knew very well that his career was over.
Although he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, it did not mean that he did not like power.
"It seems that you still have urgent matters to deal with, so we will not disturb you. Goodbye."
After saying that, Mac took Mrs. Kent to the door of the office, and this time, Kingsley did not speak to stop them.
Not only Kingsley, but Dumbledore also did not speak. He sat there quietly as before. This was his strategy for today, just watching and not saying anything.
However, the expression on his face was surprisingly ugly, because he could see clearly that he basically had no way to deal with Mike at this point.
This child... his wings are really hard.
Dumbledore thought so while staring at his right hand that was tightly bound by the bandage.
At the same time, Mike took Mrs. Kent straight to the Room of Requirement.
Mike did not talk to Mrs. Kent along the way, and Mrs. Kent was happy about it. She followed Mike silently and secretly looked at the tall figure in front of her.
What Mike did in the office just now has completely convinced Mrs. Kent. Strong strength, amazing wealth and power, and miraculous age, let alone seeing such a young man, Mrs. Kent swears that she has never even heard of him!
At the same time, this is why she is willing to go with Mike, because she knows very well that after losing Dumbledore and others, they are just using her. Now that she has lost her value, Mike can do whatever he wants to her, and she has no room to resist.
Now, she can only hope that Mike can keep his promise and let her leave safely with the check.
"We are here."
Mrs. Kent, who was immersed in her inner world, was startled and stopped in a hurry.
At this time, they were in the corridor on the eighth floor of Hogwarts.
As soon as she looked around, Mrs. Kent frowned and said,
"Are you sure we want to talk here? Although there are few people here, it is not..."
Mrs. Kent's words stopped abruptly, because in front of her, a door suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Please come in, Mrs. Kent."
Mike smiled and made a gesture of invitation. He could see that Mrs. Kent was very surprised by the existence of the Room of Requirement, but he said nothing. There was no point in humiliating an old woman.
At this time, the Room of Requirement had become a spacious tea room. Zhou Hong was sitting on a sofa with his legs crossed, spinning a pen in boredom.
Mike took Mrs. Kent into the Room of Requirement and placed her on a hardwood chair opposite Zhou Hong, while he sat next to Zhou Hong.
The conditions here were obviously not as good as Dumbledore's office. Not only did Mrs. Kent sit on a hard chair, but Mike didn't even give her a cup of tea.
But this made her feel relieved. She didn't dare to drink the tea now, because she was afraid that it might be spiked with truth serum.
But there was one thing that made Mrs. Kent particularly uncomfortable, that was the young man sitting opposite her. He had been staring at her since she came in, and that young man's eyes made Mrs. Kent feel like she was completely seen through.
Mrs. Kent couldn't help but cover her chest with her arms. She didn't like the feeling of being completely seen through.
Zhou Hong, who was opposite her, rolled his eyes when he saw this.
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Mrs. Kent, please tell me in detail about Clark's life from grade 6 to grade 7. If your answer satisfies me, not only can you leave safely with the check for 10,000 gold galleons today, but I can also give you an extra 1,000 gold galleons in cash."
As Mike spoke, he took out a traceless stretch bag and poured it on the ground. The gold coins inside piled up into a small mountain on the floor, which made Mrs. Kent drool.
"I hope you can tell the truth and don't try to lie, otherwise you will regret it."
Mrs. Kent nodded. It took her great willpower to move her eyes away from the hill of gold coins. She looked at Mike and said:
"What do you want to know? Can the conditions be more specific?"
"Strange things, you have to tell me anything abnormal."
"Strange things... there really are." Mrs. Kent murmured, "Clark has not been home much in the past two years. He only stays at home for one or two days every summer vacation and Christmas vacation, and then he will suddenly disappear.
I once asked him where he had been, but he refused to tell me anything, just saying that he was going to work.
I believed it, because he did send gold Galleons to his family from time to time after each time he went out. When he came back, he would bring a bunch of gifts for me and his two sisters..." "
You are lying!"
Zhou Hong interrupted Mrs. Kent with a roar, and Mike's eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at the latter.
The purpose of his asking Mrs. Kent was just to try to find out if he could find any clues about the person behind Clark. If Mrs. Kent didn't cooperate, he didn't mind getting rid of her directly.
Mike's eyes scared Mrs. Kent, and she waved her hands hurriedly and said,
"Sorry! Sorry! I was wrong! He would only give the gold galleons and gifts to my two daughters, not to me at all! In fact, his relationship with me is not good at all. He hates me very much. He hates me for bringing him into this world, and he also hates me for killing his father."
Mike looked at Zhou Hong again, and when he saw the other party nodded, he motioned Mrs. Kent to continue.
At this time, Mrs. Kent was already sweating profusely. She finally understood why she felt that she was seen through, and finally understood why Mike was not afraid of her lying.
It turned out that the Asian young man sitting in front of her was actually a master of Legilimency!
No, a simple Legilimency master couldn't do this, and coupled with the other party's age, there was only one possibility left.
That Asian boy was a natural mind reader!
Mrs. Kent took a deep breath, glanced at Zhou Hong fearfully, and then continued:
"You may not believe it, but Clark was originally very inferior and cowardly, and his academic performance was not good. It was a miracle that he could become a prefect.
But since he went out to work, I found that he has changed. He has become more and more confident, and his strength has become stronger and stronger. This is obviously abnormal!"
"Out of concern for Clark, I once followed him to find out where he was working, but he became too strong and I couldn't catch up. But fortunately, I also know some big shots. They told me that Clark has been working for a Slytherin student. The student seems to be called..."
"Chris."
"Yes, it's Chris! A Slytherin prefect, one year younger than Clark!"
Mike's eyes suddenly lit up when he said the name Chris to Fang. He really didn't expect that his inquiry, which was better than nothing, would actually lead to such a big fish!
If the person behind Clark is really Chris, then many things can be connected.
What makes Mike feel strange is why Chris did this? What good would it do for him?
Mike couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and at this moment, Zhou Hong on the side said again:
"You lied again."
Mike looked at Mrs. Kent opposite with a stern look in his eyes. He was really a little angry. He had thought it all out here, but the other party was lying?
"No! I didn't! I...well, I did lie." Mrs. Kent said hurriedly, "I followed Clark not because I was worried about him, but because I wanted to find out where Clark worked. Then...then threatened him to make trouble and asked him to give me money. I...I had no choice. He was only willing to give money to his two sisters, and he didn't even want to give me a copper nut! I am his mother! He would rather watch me starve than give me money!"
Zhou Hong opposite Mrs. Kent was now extremely angry.
He had never seen his mother, so he always imagined his mother to be very beautiful, but at this moment, the information in Mrs. Kent's mind was tarnishing the word mother, which was extremely sacred in his mind!
He panted and looked at the other person fiercely. He had the urge to shake his head again, because he knew very well that as long as he shook his head, Mike would immediately let this evil mother know what it felt like to be an idiot.
But after hesitating for a moment, he still nodded to Mike with difficulty.
Seeing this, Mrs. Kent finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Mike continued to ask expressionlessly:
"Who told you that Clark was working with Chris? Where is he now?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Kent's expression, which had just relaxed, became tense again.
She looked at Mike with an expressionless face, and then at Zhou Hong with a frosty face, and finally gritted her teeth and said:
"It was... my brother... Harroch Kent who told me that he has always been a running dog of the Chris family, so he also has some knowledge of these things. As for where he is. Sorry, I don't know either. He disappeared, and his family and all the wealth that could be moved disappeared, and the Chris family also disappeared with him."
Mike nodded. This was similar to what he expected. Clark and Chris's news would be kept strictly secret. The only person who could reveal the information was Chris's partner, the member of the Pureblood Alliance who had disappeared. However
, there was one thing that Mike couldn't figure out.
According to Clark's memory, Mrs. Kent had always had a bad relationship with her brother, so how could her brother tell her about this?
Mike frowned and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Oh, my brother and I have an affair. I often go to his house to sleep with him. In return, he often gives me some money. But he is a stingy guy. He is only willing to give one gold galleon each time, and sometimes only five or six silver Sickles! As for Clark's matter, he told me about it again when we were doing things. I guess it must be a very important secret, because after he said it, his face became very bad, and he couldn't do it anymore..."
Mrs. Kent seemed to have completely let go. She talked nonstop, as if she was talking about something very interesting.
On the opposite side of her, Zhou Hong and Mike's faces had already turned ashen.
Zhou Hong panted and said word by word:
"You are so disgusting!"
