"Understood! I'll do it right away!" Carcas hurriedly agreed, clamping his mouth shut and saying nothing more.
At this moment, he could clearly feel Voldemort's surging fury.
The situation was extremely delicate now. Herpo had found an excuse to run away, leaving Carcas as Voldemort's only possible target for torment.
Carcas had cursed Herpo countless times in his heart, but what mattered most now was how to avoid being made the scapegoat.
Based on the information they had previously obtained through the "Heavenly Eye," Barty Crouch Jr. had likely truly betrayed them.
If he had not genuinely betrayed them, there was no reason for Barty Crouch Jr. to immediately point out, upon regaining consciousness, that Snape had been the true executor of the plan to exile Vizet.
Voldemort had once valued Barty Crouch Jr. greatly as a servant. Precisely because he had valued him so highly, Barty Crouch Jr.'s betrayal would only multiply Voldemort's fury.
That meant that if Carcas reported any more news about Barty Crouch Jr., Voldemort would be highly likely to take his anger out on him and cast the Cruciatus Curse on him.
Faced with such a situation, he could only pray that Old Barty Crouch would stay busy a little longer, delaying the time when he would be punished with the Cruciatus Curse.
Unfortunately, Kingsley Shacklebolt's arrival utterly shattered Carcas's prayers.
Kingsley Shacklebolt reported to Old Barty Crouch that Barty Crouch Jr. merely wished to see his father. If Old Barty Crouch refused, Barty Crouch Jr. would reveal a massive secret.
Carcas naturally knew what secret Barty Crouch Jr. meant. It was nothing more than the fact that Old Barty Crouch had been the key to Barty Crouch Jr.'s escape.
Once the truth behind Barty Crouch Jr.'s supposed death was made public, Old Barty Crouch's
