You call this the mastermind?

Here Mellen is thinking about other people's mothers, and over there, others are also thinking about him——

Jim Ernest is a young man with a very sunny appearance. Except for his single-lidded eyes, which are a bit small, his handsome facial features are basically impeccable.

Usually, Kevin would even think that his best friend is the most handsome person he has ever seen.

However, since he saw his illegitimate brother this morning, his concept has been rewritten unknowingly.

This actually made Kevin a little confused, because the last time he saw that guy, he seemed to look slightly different from now.

But this is not the point.

The point is, now that my mother’s scandal has been basically confirmed, how should I give my father an explanation?

"Let me tell you, just tell the truth. This kind of thing is not something that juniors like us can get involved in."

Jim Ernest and Kevin had known each other since childhood because their mothers were good friends.

In addition, they both belong to divorced families, and their brotherly friendship makes them good friends who talk about everything.

At this time, the two of them were wearing neat and slim equestrian clothing, and the black top hats on their heads were flatter than usual to adapt to the movement on horseback——

They originally wanted to compete at this vast racecourse, but Kevin really wasn't in the mood to play this kind of sport that ordinary people enjoy today.

So the activity had to be changed to riding on horseback, letting the horse take small steps and chat.

"I'm just afraid that my father will be impulsive and do something outrageous."

Hearing his friend's words, Kevin said helplessly: "You understand, right? If we really want to get rid of the illegitimate child, my father will definitely have no hope of remarrying my mother."

"Where is the father of the illegitimate child? Could he be the rightful owner?"

"Who knows where that person has gone? I have inquired, and the nominal parents of the illegitimate child are not at home all year round. Now when I look for him, I can't find him at all."

"This is quite troublesome..."

Jim, who had short brown and black hair, thought about it after hearing this and had an idea.

"Didn't you say that the illegitimate child has provocative thoughts against you? Why don't we teach him a lesson in advance. In this way, with this matter in mind, your father will probably not think of targeting the illegitimate child."

"What's the point?"

Kevin was surprised when he heard this and didn't understand the logical chain.

"It works."

Jim smiled and said: "Every time I get into trouble, I will take the initiative to suffer a loss on the day, so that my mother will feel that I have learned my lesson, so she will not punish me excessively."

"This doesn't seem to be the same thing, does it?"

"Of course it's a thing."

Jim said confidently: "You listen to me, you are right."

"Um……"

Thinking of the proud look on his face when the illegitimate son once embarrassed him in front of his mother-in-law, Kevin was moved.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded hesitantly.

But then, Kevin added another sentence.

"But this lesson must not be taken too far. The illegitimate child has contact with my mother, and I don't want him to complain to my mother."

"How much is too much?" Jim asked.

"At least you can't do what you did in Canterbury, where you snatched someone else's fiancée without telling you, and then you proudly showed it off everywhere."

Kevin said.

He couldn't stand what his friend did.

Because he has a very sought-after fiancée, he is always worried about being snatched away by others.

So when I first heard about this, I somehow felt sympathy for the sufferer.

"What's that guy's name? Arthur?"

"Arthur."

Jim said: "But he is just a small character. I hit him in the vital point, and his spirit is gone. He will never be able to stand out again in this life."

"You are too stubborn in what you do and don't leave room for others."

Kevin criticized unceremoniously: "Sooner or later, you will suffer a loss."

"Come on, what else can a person like that do to me?"

Jim heard this and said nonchalantly: "I'm already kind-hearted if I don't bother him anymore. How could he still dare to bother me?"

"He doesn't dare, but it doesn't necessarily mean that others don't dare either."

Kevin said: "You have to know that I am not the only one who has objections to your behavior."

"What's wrong with my behavior?" Jim was surprised when he heard this.

"It's much kinder than annihilating others physically, right? Those extreme guys are much more ruthless than me."

"But at least we've avoided any future troubles. What's the old saying in the East? To cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots..."

"You don't understand this. If I were to be like those extreme guys, it wouldn't be that great for me personally. Now the moderates have the upper hand... Do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

"So what do you think we should do to teach your bastard brother a lesson this time?"

Jim changed the subject: "Psychologically? Or physically?"

"Of course it can't be physical."

Kevin said: "But psychologically we can't do too much, lest the illegitimate child go to my mother to complain."    "You are really afraid of your mother."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Jim thought for a while, but he didn't dare to say that he wasn't afraid, so he said instead: "In this case, I will hold a banquet at home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and invite some young wizards near Graham to participate."

"You are responsible for inviting the illegitimate child. I will be responsible for suppressing his arrogance for you. It's hard to say anything else, but at least he can't have the heart to provoke you again."

"What are you going to do?" Kevin asked worriedly.

Due to his friend's past behavior, he was really afraid that the plan customized by this guy was too cruel.

"Just let him know the gap between you."

Jim certainly didn't want to do too much, because he was also afraid that the illegitimate child would go and complain, or he was afraid of the illegitimate child's mother.

"This gap cannot be in acquired resources, because it will make the illegitimate child feel more resentful, and he may even work harder to improve himself. It will not only fail to completely defeat him, but it will also backfire."

"So the first thing we need to make him understand is the talent gap between purebloods and mixed-bloods."

"Although his bloodline is inherited from your mother, mixed-bloods generally have poor talents, and your talent is top-notch among the younger generation, so you can completely defeat him."

"This is a bad idea, I don't want to be involved myself."

Kevin frowned when he heard this, "Since it is a gathering of the younger generation, Yes, my fiancée will definitely be there. In this case, what's the point of me going to bully a half-blood bastard?"

"It doesn't matter, we can ask someone else to go. By the way, we can also let the bastard see how the big guys who are not as talented as him are willing to be dogs in front of us."

Jim said: "Then it's a competition of magic foundation. This level does not involve the cultivation of acquired resources. If he is a hard-working person, the foundation laid during the apprenticeship period cannot be bad. But no matter how good his foundation is, I can find someone with a better foundation than him among the pure bloods."

"Then, He needs to be made aware of the class gap between purebloods and mixedbloods."

"Class gap? Didn't you say that we can't compare them in terms of acquired resources?"

"The class gap I'm talking about can't be considered acquired resources."

Jim smiled and said, "Some things are destined after he was born, and he can't change them no matter how hard he tries, so they don't count as acquired resources."

"There are actually a lot of things involved in this aspect, such as relationships, education, information channels, etc., um... I have a good idea."

"What good idea?"

Seeing his friend reveal a mysterious smile, Kay Wen couldn't help but frown, "Don't do anything radical?"

"No, it's just a lively event, everyone will like to see it."

Jim waved his hand and said, "But this matter requires the cooperation of others. Although the problem should not be big, I can't give you a definite answer now."

"Are you going to use that mixed-race woman named Martha again?"

"What do you mean by use?"

Jim raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "She is a smart person. What we have is called cooperation. Don't treat her as a small role."

"No matter how smart a venomous snake is, it is just a snake."

Kevin snorted when he heard this, with a disgusted tone.

"For a person like that, even if she climbs higher, what good will it do? Who can really look down on her?"

"...Kevin, why do you have to use a snake when you can't use any other metaphor?"

Jim was shocked when he heard this, "Don't you forget what the Chelsea family's emblem is?"

"This..."

Kevin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then hurriedly said, "In short, just don't go too far."

"Don't worry, when have I ever made a mistake in my work?"

With that, the matter was settled.

Then the two young men talked about the recent, or last night's, murder case.

When they talked about the murdered Refaeli family, they sighed.

"Old Refaeli is not smart enough. If he had listened to Madam Chelsea, how could he have encountered such a tragedy?"

"Yeah, even if he once belonged to a top family, what does it matter? Now that it has fallen, it has fallen. Where does the arrogance come from?"

"Do you think it was Madam who did it?"

"It's impossible. I heard it was the crazy people of the Truth Church..."

"It's hard to say. Haven't you noticed that there is a very strange phenomenon in the wizarding world now?"

"What?"

"Whenever there is something dirty, everyone likes to push it to those crazy people..."

"It shouldn't be Madam. The Refaeli family and the Chelsea family have a blood alliance..."

After chatting for a while, the two returned to the stable.

When Kevin, who had blond hair, got off the horse, suddenly thought of a question.

"By the way, you are going to hold a banquet... Won't your father come to participate?"

"It shouldn't be. He's not a young man..."

As Jim said this, his expression was a little uncertain.

The two looked at each other and shuddered inexplicably.
