HP has a villain system but has become a popular character

Naturally, the murderer in this case was not found until all the guests left the next day.

After watching little Barty board the departing flying carriage, Wenxiu Lord lowered the curtains and softly called the butler's name.

Sebastian appeared silently behind Wenxiu Lord. The young man turned the patriarch's ring on his thumb, walked to the desk and picked up a stack of documents.

"You can take action against those people now. Be careful not to force them to death."

Wenxiu Lord is a vengeful person. If someone plots against him, it will only be bad luck for these people.

"Yes." Sebastian took the document, bowed respectfully, took a few steps back, then turned and left the room.

"Wen Xiu is so kind." Tom Riddle was sitting on the sofa, and it was hard to tell whether his tone was sincere or joking.

The boy walked leisurely to the sofa and sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa.

"Killing them is easy, but making them and the families they control surrender is difficult. If I force them, and Fudi takes action to subdue them, then won't everything be a matter of course?"

Bending over and picking up a piece of cake, Wenxiu Lord broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth, speaking mumbledly.

"Either they become a helper in completing the Lord's plan, or they become history. Even if they see through it, they have no choice. If Fudi hadn't given them a way to survive, I wouldn't have let them go so easily."

"Hmm~ This cake tastes good."

His silver-gray eyes lit up, and Wenxiu Lord looked at Lucius standing behind Tom Riddle with surprise.

“Is this pastry a specialty here?”

There were several plates of exquisite pastries on the coffee table, which Lucius had brought when he came to report the results of his investigation to Tom Riddle this morning.

He thought Wenxiu Lord would definitely like it.

Sure enough, he saw the silver-haired boy smile because of him.

His facial muscles subconsciously moved by the bright smile, but he regained his expressionless face after realizing Tom Riddle's presence.

The man's sharp gaze swept over, and Lucius quickly gathered his thoughts and said, "Yes, I hope Lord and Wen Xiu will like it."

He also bought the recipes for these pastries and gave them to the house-elf.

Once the house-elves at Malfoy Manor learn how to make it, he'll have an excuse to visit Wen Xiu more often.

Tom Riddle, who was sitting between the two of them, listened to Lucius's respectful answer, which was flawless.

He glanced at Wenxiu Lord, who looked content and happy, and felt inexplicably unhappy.

He snorted, "You can go back to Malfoy Manor and ask the Lestrange brothers to come over."

The time they spent together was always short, so short that Lucius often thought he was dreaming.

Reluctantly imprinting the satisfied smile on Wenxiu Lord's face in his mind, Lucius said "yes" and left.

After the platinum youth left, Wenxiu Lord, who noticed that the man was in a bad mood, walked behind him.

Leaning over and resting his chin on his shoulder, Wenxiu Lord raised the remaining pastry in his hand and handed it to him.

"I break it up and eat it. It's very clean. Fudi, try it? I think you'll like it."

Tom Riddle lowered his eyes to look at the half-eaten pastry in front of him, then opened his mouth and took a bite.

It is smooth in the mouth and a bit chewy when chewed. It tastes refreshing and sweet, and a little fragrance will remain in the mouth after swallowing.

The overall feeling he gave was like the silver-haired boy behind him, which made him feel very comfortable.

"not bad."

Wenxiu Lord arched his brows, maintaining the posture of hugging Tom Riddle from behind, and checked today's Daily Prophet with him.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

The good times were interrupted, Wenxiu Lord frowned unhappily, stood up and sat down next to Tom Riddle.

"Enter."

The door opened and the Lestrange brothers entered one after another.

The two men came before Tom Riddle and saluted respectfully.

"My Lord."

The man put down the newspaper in his hand and raised his eyelids slightly. "You two should leave for France immediately. Bellatrix sent a message yesterday saying that she had found out the whereabouts of Slytherin's locket. You two should go and assist her."

The two Lestrange brothers took the order and left. Vinciu Lord picked up the teacup and took a sip of the slightly cooled black tea, hiding the smile that flashed across his eyes after his plan succeeded.

"Vodi has been looking for the golden cup and the locket, and now he has finally made some progress. Congratulations."

The man's scarlet eyes turned, with a layer of false gentleness floating above the coldness, "Wen Xiu, do you want to know why I'm looking for these two things?"

Another test.

Leaning lazily on the sofa, Wenxiu Lord shook his head lacking interest.

"Not interested. I support all of Voldi's decisions, so it doesn't matter whether I ask or not, right? My only interest in these two things is to find them and deliver them to my Lord personally."

The boy answered casually, waving his wand to control the teapot to refill the empty cups in front of the two people.

The gentleness on the surface seeped into the cold eyes. Tom Riddle curled his lips, waved his wand, and floated the boy into his arms.

A few days later.

The port of Calais, France.

At a long-abandoned anchorage, a ghost ship broke through the waves and surfaced.

The wooden hull looked like it had been lying dormant on the seabed for years, covered with barnacles and oysters. The squids clinging to the hull stretched out their tentacles, exploring around and crawling downwards.

The silver-haired boy walked out of the cabin and stood on the ground. The sea breeze blew over the hem of his coat, causing it to flutter like the wings of a seagull in the sky.

Looking up, the bright sunlight made it difficult for the silver-haired boy to open his eyes.

The gentle wind brushed across his cheeks, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Today's weather is really nice, Fudi, we can stay here for a few more days after we finish our work."

A big hand blocked the silver-haired boy's view. Tom Riddle stood behind him. "Okay, but we should leave first."

Bellatrix, who was waiting on the side, saw that the Lord was so gentle to Wenxiu Lord that the wand in her hand was bent a little more by her.

Holding Tom Riddle's hand and clasping his fingers together, Wenxiu Lord's eyes fell on Bella behind the man.

Noticing her distorted expression, Wenxiu Lord deliberately raised his lips and eyebrows in a provocative manner, making the expression on her face even more ferocious.

Seeing Bellatrix's frustrated expression, as if she wanted to kill him but couldn't, Wenxiu Lord felt that the depressed mood he had been feeling on the sea was relieved.

"I will definitely be very happy in the next few days."

Hearing the boy's reference, Tom Riddle's eyes softened and he put his fingers together and pinched his fingers twice.

The Death Eaters behind him stared at the bare ground so hard that they almost made a hole in it.

"Let's go, my fiancé." Wenxiu Lord walked away with the man, and deliberately added this sentence when passing by Bellatrix.

The woman stared at Wenxiu Lord's back with a resentful look, her teeth grinding with a creaking sound.

Rodolphus Lestrange, who was standing next to Bella, had a terribly gloomy expression on his face. He glanced at her coldly, then turned and walked into the crowd.

The Death Eaters following Tom Riddle kept looking back and peeked, and found that Rodolphus Lestrange's black hair had suddenly changed color, and now it was more conspicuous than the seaweed green hanging on the ship's railing.
