HP: Embrace the Darkness

Today is a day of great anticipation for the British people.

Because their Queen will hold an anniversary speech in a semi-public format at London's Guildhall this afternoon.

As the time for the speech got closer and closer, all kinds of cars that were rarely seen appeared together and drove slowly towards the city center.

Aces found the nearest Cavendish property based on his memory, took care of himself there, changed into a formal suit and got into the car sent by Joel.

Dark green cars gathered with other cars, blended in, and drove slowly on the road.

Aces wasted no time leaning back in his chair, closing his eyes and concentrating, preparing for the tough battle ahead.

The car was swaying along, and while half asleep and half awake, the excited screams and curses of the crowd could be faintly heard outside.

Asseth opened his eyes sleepily, "Manan, what's going on outside?"

The driver was a thin man named Manan who was managed by Gavin in Raven.

The streets were now crowded with cars, mostly people going to attend the Queen's Speech. They had been stuck in traffic for a while. Manan was bored and was also paying attention to the riots happening outside. Asseth's question was finally asked to the right person.

"Master, someone kidnapped a woman at gunpoint." Ma Nan reported enthusiastically.

Asseth looked outside and found that the woman in the gangster's arms looked familiar.

"This is?" He squinted his eyes and recognized the bright face, "Miss Stewart?"

The woman imprisoned in the man's arms has curly brown hair and is suddenly the only daughter of the Archduke of York - Bernice Stewart.

Aces looked at the city hall not far away.

I don’t understand why someone could kidnap the daughter of an archduke at gunpoint next to the heavily guarded city hall, and I don’t understand why it took so long for the incident to happen and no one came to control the scene.

There were more and more people surrounding the gangster, and as the number of people increased, the gangster became more and more agitated. He unconsciously increased the strength of his arm, strangling Bernice until she could not breathe, and her pretty face turned red.

Aces identified the surrounding vehicles and found that only he and the Archduke of York had a close relationship, if tit-for-tat could be considered close.

"parking."

Manan stepped on the brakes to the bottom.

Asseth took out a small and exquisite pistol from the ring, turned it around and hid it in his coat, opened the car door, crossed his long legs, and walked lazily towards the gangster.

Across the street, Dumbledore, who had returned from the orphanage without success, saw Arthur crossing the road.

"Severus, look at that over there. Is that Professor Cavendish?"

The Potions Master, who had been waiting in the orphanage for nearly an hour without waiting for anyone, was feeling depressed. Hearing Dumbledore's words, he looked up.

With just one glance, he was sure that the man was Asseth, "It's him."

"It's him." Dumbledore quietly used a magic spell to observe what happened over there.

"It seems like someone has been arrested. Is Professor Cavendish going to save him?"

Not long after he finished speaking, Asseth suddenly raised his left hand in his sight.

"Boom-boom-"

Two gunshots rang out, and the gangster's blood splattered everywhere.

Bernice who was closest and the onlookers who were slightly closer were all spared, especially Bernice, who was covered in blood.

There was a brief silence, and then a high-pitched scream broke out, led by Bernice.

The gangster was shot in the shoulder and hand, but his screams were not as loud as theirs, and he still had the strength to continue controlling the hostages.

Seeing that Bernice was only focused on screaming and not seizing the opportunity to leave the gangster, Asseth put away the gun, took the cane from his right hand with his left hand, and hooked Bernice over.

"Stop barking, Miss Stewart. Where is your father?"

After being out of danger, Bernice stopped screaming. She was in a daze, lowering her head and covering the family brooch on her chest, completely unable to hear what Ass had to say.

Asseth looked at the corner of the brooch exposed on her folded hands and immediately understood that Bernice didn't want to be recognized.

He thought for a moment, took off his coat and threw it on Bernice, while he turned to deal with the belated arrival of the royal guards.

"Mr. Cavendish, was it you who was using the gun just now?" the man walking at the front of the Royal Guards asked seriously.

Artes casually handed over the gun in his hand and waved his hands, "Gort, I remember you are not blind, how can you ask questions knowingly?"

The man whom Artes called Gort couldn't help but break his skills and threw the gun back with a smile.

"Go, go, you're blind."

"I helped you save people, and you have this attitude? It seems that you, the Prime Minister's son, are no good either." Asses caught the gun that was thrown back.

"You know clearly that I hate people calling me the prime minister's son, but you still poke me in the heart every day."

Gort Wilson, the only son of the current British Prime Minister, is also Arthur's good friend at Eton College.

"That's the daughter of the Grand Duke of York. I saved her. You can decide the rest. I'm leaving." Artes greeted Gort and turned to leave.

Gort didn't hold back much, there was still a lot of mess here that he needed to deal with.

Aces and Bernice passed each other.

Bernice, who had been in a daze just now, suddenly grabbed Asseth's hand. Asses' right hand was injured, and he was unprepared to be pulled by her, and severe pain surged into his brain.

If he hadn't seen that the arm was hanging normally, he would have thought that the arm was disconnected.

Asseth took two deep breaths to endure the severe pain, "Miss Stewart, is something okay?"

Bernice noticed something from his heavier breathing and let go of her hand apologetically.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
