A flash of green light!
Li Wade's Killing Curse had been cast.
However, Grindelwald remained calm, not even losing the smile on his face.
His coat had somehow slipped off his body, becoming stiff and suddenly draped over his back!
"Pfft!"
The green-glowing spell struck the coat with a muffled thud, then could not go any further.
Moreover, the coat, rapidly approaching Li Wade's face, also obscured his vision!
"Whoosh!"
At the same time, a red spell shot out from under the coat towards Li Wade!
"Whoosh!"
To Grindelwald's surprise, his coat missed, and the Stunning Curse also missed its mark.
Li Wade, seemingly out of nowhere, was already standing beside him.
"Heartbreaker!"
Grindelwald casually deflected the Heartbreaker spell.
"You little brat, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve, and you're quite skilled in dark magic.
Did Dumbledore teach you?
Did you secretly learn it?
Ah, this is interesting.
What will he think if he finds out?"
"Kill you, and he won't know," Li Wade said coldly.
"Haha, you think you can kill me?"
Grindelwald laughed as if he'd heard the biggest joke of the century.
"Sizzle!"
Grindelwald chuckled, tilting his head slightly to the side, and a Killing Curse grazed past his head...
"Looks like you're really eager to kill me today.
But too bad, you can't kill me."
"Old Grindelwald, prepare to die!
Divine Strike!"
"Hmm... a very good spell.
I haven't seen it before. Did you develop it yourself?"
"Avada Kedavra!"
"Not bad, but unfortunately, your aim is still a bit off... Your talent is indeed remarkable, but unfortunately, the gap between true abilities can't be narrowed by knowing a few dark spells..."
"Heartbreaking!"
Grindelwald strolled leisurely amidst Livid's barrage of dark magic.
"If I told Dumbledore about your use of dark magic, what would he say?
Oh… his favorite, most promising student, has turned to the dark arts… I'm already looking forward to his expression."
Whether it was Grindelwald's words or not, Livid finally stopped and stood face-to-face with Grindelwald.
"Since you're so eager to hear it, I'll call him back.
You two can have a good talk. See if he believes what you say?"
Grindelwald smiled slightly, spreading his arms, and the coat he had just thrown to the ground returned to his body.
"Your Professor Dumbledore won't be back anytime soon. I've found him a very good part-time job… But you're right about one thing… he definitely won't believe me. What a pity…"
Grindelwald glanced at the Mublists on the ground.
"These men of mine are all hand-trained. In the past, even if they weren't always successful, they never suffered any major losses.
I never expected them to stumble at your hands… The sleeping potion is indeed very effective.
Hmm… Could it be… that you were behind all of this?"
Li Weide glanced around and then said, "I don't quite understand what you mean.
Anyway, I came here tonight to search for that magical power.
I never expected to run into you… If I had known you would show up, I would never have come."
"Oh?
Is that so?
Then these sleeping potions…"
"These sleeping potions were originally intended for the medicine monster in the Forbidden Forest tomorrow night… I didn't expect them to be so suitable here."
Li Weide's answer was impeccable.
Grindelwald glanced at the sorcerers on the ground and sighed.
"To think we'd been tricked by a first-year wizard... they really aren't much different from trolls..."
After saying this, Grindelwald's mind raced.
At first, he thought it was all a trap set by Livid.
Perhaps Livid had seen through Anne's disguise and used magic to lure him here.
However, after hearing Livid's words, he felt that possibility was very low.
If Livid had seen through Anne's disguise, why didn't he tell Dumbledore?
Based on his own words alone, what gave a first-year wizard the confidence to keep them here?
It would have been better to tell Dumbledore!
If Dumbledore knew, then it wouldn't be Headmaster Dipper waiting here tonight, but rather the well-rested Dumbledore and the Aurors!
Moreover, he had indeed given the order for Anne to lure Leved and Tom here.
His original intention was to use this magical power to entice Leved and Tom to join his side.
He had witnessed the two youngsters' thirst for power.
After experiencing the exhilarating feeling of increased power, he didn't believe these two could remain calm in the face of so much magical power!
However, unexpected circumstances arose.
While he was busy dealing with the headmaster and professors of Hogwarts, all his men had been drugged and knocked out by that brat Livid…
Thinking of this, Grindelwald believed he had grasped the truth of what had happened tonight.
"Since your goal is also these magical powers, how about we make a ceasefire and trade?"
Grindelwald said with a smile.
"What kind of deal?" Livid asked.
"You and Tom join us… you don't need to join openly, you can join secretly.
That way, even if I fail in the future, you won't be implicated," Grindelwald laughed.
"As long as you agree, you can get half of the magical power here!
I see that your spells are much stronger than before.
I suppose you've already received my previous gift… then you should know how wonderful this magic is… So, how about it?
What do you think of my deal?"
Tom had been standing there from the beginning, pretending to be just a statue as instructed by the Felix Felicis.
He was somewhat tempted after hearing Grindelwald's conditions.
If he hadn't known that the magical power might have side effects, he would have jumped in to agree for Livid.
But now… it was better for him to remain silent.
Annie, pale with fright after seeing so many members of the Wushi Party, including her aunt, fall, felt a pang of grievance upon hearing Grindelwald's terms.
Livid and Tom hadn't done a single thing for the Wushi Party, yet they received such a huge reward…
while she… had worked so hard, and it seemed she received nothing in return…
If she hadn't secretly absorbed a significant amount, wouldn't she end up with absolutely nothing?
No… no!
There's still half!
Mr. Grindelwald will surely reward me with a portion when we return!
Annie shook her head, forcing herself to reassure herself.
At this moment, Grindelwald, Tom, and Annie all looked at Livid, wondering what he would choose.
"Half?
What a joke! After I kill you, it's all mine!"
Li Weide said, launching another savage attack.
Grindelwald dodged the killing curse, half-laughing, half-crying.
"Where do you get the confidence to kill me?"
"A person who is hit by the killing curse will die. You're a person too," Li Weide said matter-of-factly.
Grindelwald was amused and annoyed. Wasn't this little bastard supposed to be quite clever?
Why was he spouting such nonsense tonight?
"Heh… alright. Come on then, I'll see if you can kill me."
However, although Grindelwald said that, when he retaliated, he still didn't use a deadly curse like the killing curse.
He only wanted to knock the little guy down and then have a proper talk.
Because he still believed in his prophecy, that Livid and Tom would definitely be of help to his career!
For a moment, various spells flew around the chamber.
However, the situation was reversed.
The first-year wizards were casting spells that emitted a chilling green light, like dark wizards.
Meanwhile, Grindelwald, the leader of the dark wizards, was casting spells that were all "healthy green"...
This was the first time Grindelwald had fought like a white wizard... This made him very uncomfortable.
Moreover... Grindelwald soon discovered a problem, a very strange problem!
Because Livid was surprisingly difficult to deal with! Even Principal Depp hadn't been able to hold him off for that long!
And the reason for this wasn't because Livid was particularly strong.
But...why did his spells always miss?
Considering that Livid had managed to silently get behind him, Grindelwald became extremely vigilant!
However, after another minute of fighting, Grindelwald finally realized something was wrong.
Even if his spells were inaccurate, their landing points shouldn't be so far off from his expectations!
Besides... putting aside the fact that his spells missed, let's assume that the little guy had his own unique methods.
If he couldn't hit him, his spells couldn't harm him either!
So what was this little guy trying to do by entangled with him for so long?
What was the point of dragging things out?
Wait... dragging things out?
Could it be that he was waiting for someone?
A sudden flash of inspiration struck Grindelwald.
Could it be... that this wasn't this kid's scheme, but... Dumbledore's?
Come to think of it, Livid might not know Anne's identity, but wouldn't Dumbledore be suspicious?
Anne's surname is Rozier!
Yet he hasn't taken any action, hasn't investigated Anne at all, acting as if she doesn't exist.
Could it be that Dumbledore's silence was all to use Anne to lure him here?
Is this actually a trap?
Thinking this, Grindelwald felt a chill run down his spine.
No... no!
If it was Dumbledore's scheme, how could he send a first-year wizard, his favorite student, to delay him?
And... if it were his scheme, he himself should be at Hogwarts!
How could he possibly go to America?
Even if he did, it should be a fake.
He's been causing trouble at Hogwarts for so long; if he were there, how could he still not have shown up?
Grindelwald quickly calmed down.
That's it… this kid must have sent a message to Dumbledore after charming my men, trying to buy time until he returns.
It wasn't some pre-set trap…
"I must say, you're very confident you can hold me off… but do you really think you can?"
