"Avada Kedavra."

The man's deep, magnetic voice was casual and leisurely, and the tip of his staff flashed green light. The auctioneer in the middle of the venue died the moment he came into contact with the green light.

The sound of the auctioneer's body hitting the ground was like a drop of ice water falling into boiling oil.

"what!!"

"Someone used a killing curse!"

"Run!"

"Don't push me! Get out of my way!"

The auction scene, which was cast with the Anti-Disapparation Charm, instantly fell into chaos.

No one was curious about who cast the killing curse, and no one wanted to catch the murderer.

Everyone just wanted to get away from here so that they wouldn't become the next target.

The marks on the forearms of all the Death Eaters present began to burn and sting. They drew their wands, and their gorgeous dresses instantly turned into black robes that covered their faces.

Tom Riddle walked to the edge of the box, twirled his fingers, and the locket on the tray flew into his hand.

The edge of the locket is inlaid with a circle of diamonds, which sparkle in the light.

Ancient magic words are engraved under the octagonal amber gem, and no one knows what they mean.

There is an obvious arc-shaped depression in the middle of the pendant box. A small snake inlaid with emeralds is lifelike and coiled in the shape of an S within the circle.

Amid the noise and chaos, he lowered his eyes to look at the Death Eaters in the crowd who were saluting him, and waved his wand to make the entire auction venue silent.

All exits were closed, and those who did not have time to leave were terrified. Some held their wands tightly, determined to fight to the death, while others were trembling with fear, frightened out of their wits.

The Death Eaters raised their wands one after another, and the two sides were in a stalemate, with neither side making the first move.

Wenxiu Lord walked up to Tom Riddle and said, "Lord, these guests can be subdued later. Some of them are cooperating with the Lord family. It is better to let them go first and send people to subdue them later."

Tom Riddle turned his head, and the silver-haired boy could only see the lower half of the man's face that was not covered by the wide hood.

After putting away the locket, the man reached out and put his arm around his waist. The two of them turned into a black mist and rushed out of the box. After landing on the auction table, their figures were revealed.

His voice echoed in everyone's ears, as deep and melodious as always, making all the guests present shudder.

"You are given thirty seconds to leave. If you fail to leave, you will die."

The doors that were originally tightly closed suddenly opened, and those who were ready to fight to the death just now put down their wands and ran towards the exit with all their strength.

A few cautious people were afraid that this statement was a trap and did not put down their magic wands.

Seeing this, others were also hesitant.

But time waits for no one, and some people who were close to the door walked out.

Everyone's eyes were on that person. After confirming that the person had really left safely, everyone rushed forward and squeezed the person's head into a dog's head.

There were quite a few people attending today's auction, but the venue was large enough with enough exits, so thirty seconds was enough for all of them to leave.

After the auctioneer's death, no one from the auction showed up, and Tom Riddle was not worried that someone would launch a sneak attack during this period.

The two sides seemed to have made an agreement. After the guests left, the Death Eaters gathered in front of the man, and more than a dozen wizards appeared under the platform in an instant.

Seeing a dozen people suddenly appearing in front of him, Wenxiu Lord dodged the attacks and tried to use Teleport.

It didn't work. I guess the people at the auction removed the Anti-Apparition Charm and then quickly replaced it.

His thoughts turned a thousand times in the blink of an eye, and the two sides started fighting without any negotiation. The opponent fired a weapon to disarm him, and Wenxiu Lord raised his hand and easily counterattacked, knocking the opponent's magic wand away.

Tom Riddle started with the Killing Curse, and after Vincent Lord disarmed the man, an Avada shot froze the man's terrified face forever.

The two sides fought, and Vinciu Lord hid behind Tom Riddle throughout the fight, blocking several attacks that posed no threat to him in the first place.

After discovering that Tom Riddle and the Death Eaters' moves were deadly, the people on the opposite side no longer held back and began to use curses and unforgivable curses.

The area was open and they could not move, so after just a few minutes of fighting, there were casualties on both sides.

"Are you Aurors?"

Wenxiu Lord, who was following behind the man, noticed the movements and fighting styles of these people, frowned and raised his voice.

The boy's originally sympathetic gaze was now tinged with bone-chilling coldness, and he no longer held back when he attacked.

A man on the opposite side who was suppressed by Tom Riddle and was fleeing in a panic shouted at the top of his voice, "You know we are Aurors, why don't you surrender quickly! When reinforcements come soon, none of you will be able to escape!"

When Wenxiu Lord saw the man's agile skills and heard him say such things, he laughed out loud at an inappropriate time.

"Oh, you just started working?"

Waving his hand to block the attack, Wenxiu Lord's eyes turned cold, and he backhanded the Auror who attacked him and knocked him against the wall in the distance.

The new Auror didn't care what Vince Lord said and quickly hid behind a stone pillar to avoid Tom Riddle's attack, with gravel flying in front of him.

"what!!"

There was another scream, and of the dozen or so Aurors who had rushed over, only 3.5 were left alive.

The fourth person's legs were cut off, and the broken ends looked like two fountain holes. He would not live long.

There were seven Death Eaters who followed, including Bella and the Lestrange brothers, and three of them were dead at this moment.

One of them was used as a shield by Rabastan Lestrange during the fight between the two sides and died in a bloody mess.

"Stand back and heal." Tom Riddle raised his hand, and the Death Eaters stopped what they were doing. They put on armor to protect themselves and cast healing spells for their companions.

The three opponents kept attacking, but all were blocked by Vince Lord and Tom Riddle.

The silver-haired boy smiled, "It looks like you won't live long enough for reinforcements to arrive."

The man hiding behind the stone pillar wanted to retort, but the tile floor under his feet became as soft as mud.

He staggered, quickly jumped away from his spot and released blazing flames all around.

The ground had turned into a swamp and thorny vines grew out of it, quickly attacking the man. Tom Riddle grabbed Vincent Lord's shoulders and led his men to transform into a ball of black mist again to avoid the raging flames.

Appearing behind one of the remaining Aurors, Tom Riddle waved his wand, and the Auror's armor was shattered.

A red light flashed, and the Auror reacted quickly and squatted down, but a large piece of his scalp was still cut off.

In just a few seconds and a few more moves, Wenxiu Lord looked at the Auror who had turned into a 'red-crowned crane' and died with his eyes open, and turned his eyes away with disgust.

On the other side, two Aurors had gathered together, one dealing with the vines while the other provided protection around the two of them, hiding behind another stone pillar and breathing heavily.

In his sight, Tom Riddle raised his wand, and the tip of the wand glowed green again. Vincent Lord quickly grabbed the man's arm and suppressed his killing curse.

"Lord, you have used the Killing Curse enough times today. If you continue like this, it will cause great damage to your soul. Leave the rest to me."

The silver-haired boy's eyes were full of sincerity and worry. Tom Riddle stared at him from under his hood. He blocked the attack and put down the wand in his hand.
