Cat Woman, Eagle Man

Although Skylar never did anything to the two of them, the horrific experiences of Hector Fawley and Lucida Slughorn happened before their very eyes. Those piercing screams, those desperate cries, those bloody and terrifying scenes were already deeply imprinted in their memories.

Although they weren't directly involved, they were terrified and their souls were chilled to the bone, fearing they would become the next victim, and they lived in constant anxiety.

They couldn't remember the last time they had a good night's sleep. The moment they closed their eyes, the horrific images of Hector Fawley and Lucida Slughorn would involuntarily surface in their minds, and no matter what they did, they couldn't shake them off. They even tried using Occlumency to distort their memories, only to find that these horrific scenes became even more vivid and clear.

They were filled with unbearable regret. Had they known they would end up like this, they would never have dared to provoke this demon in the first place.

Indeed, in their hearts, Skylar had long since become a demon-like figure.

If demons are categorized and ranked, Skylar would undoubtedly be the most terrifying and evil one in their eyes.

The footsteps had barely touched the stone steps when both men couldn't help but shiver. Those damned, all-too-familiar footsteps—

The demon has arrived.

Irina Selwyn was not wearing the wizard's robes she originally wore at the bottom of the lake, but a black leather bodysuit that covered her long legs all the way up to her neck, and her arms were also covered in black leather all the way to her hands.

Strangely, the bodysuit had no buttons or zippers whatsoever, making it impossible to know how it was put on or how it was taken off.

There seemed to be an invisible force around her waist and abdomen, as if she were wearing an invisible corset-like belt that tightly bound her waist, making her full breasts bulge and accentuating her curvaceous figure. Her long brown hair was tied into a long ponytail, pulled back high and spread out loosely, just like a real horse's tail swaying behind her head.

Miles Bletchley Family wore Red Copper- colored metal breastplate forged by Goblin, a thin breastplate connected by delicate chains to a metal collar around his neck, and metal shoulder guards on both shoulders. His lower body was clad in dark green pleated trousers and skirt armor, covered in densely packed leaf-shaped scales that shimmered with a jade-like luster and emitted subtle magical fluctuations. His back muscles bulged high, and a pair of lifelike wings were tattooed on them with tattoo ink.

Skylar walked up the stone steps and stood on the cold, limestone floor of the dungeon.

Irina and Miles knelt down at the same time, crawling on all fours to Skylar and kissing the hem of Skylar dark green wizard's robe.

Yes, under extreme fear and despair, and long-term mental abuse, their will, dignity, and personality had long since collapsed. They have now voluntarily signed a lifelong master-servant magical contract, serving Skylar as their master for all eternity.

"How are they?" Skylar asked softly.

Irina raised her head, revealing her beautiful face, and said with a fawning expression, "We strictly follow Master's instructions, precisely administering a nutrient potion to them every three hours to ensure their continued vitality and never jeopardize Master's plans."

"Very good. Your loyalty deserves reward." Skylar pulled two vials of potions from his pocket. "These are Magic Blood Potion, which can enhance your magical power. After drinking them, you will at least reach the peak level of an adult wizard, allowing you to better serve me."

"Yes, it is our mission to serve our master!" The two lowered their heads and replied in unison.

"Once you leave here and work for me, forget your past!" Skylar revealed a cold smile. "I will give you a completely new identity—"

"From now on, you will all operate under codenames within the organization!" Skylar said solemnly. "Irina, your codename is 'Night Cat.' You will be responsible for contacting the undocumented immigrants and scattered groups in Knockturn Alley, helping them to unite. You can ask Old Borgin for help. Remember—" His tone suddenly turned cold, "Those who resist or defy will be killed without exception!"

"Yes!" replied "Night Cat," already fully immersed in the role.

"Miles, your codename is 'Eagle Eye.' You're responsible for contacting the creditors Ludo Bagman owes money to, stirring up their resentment and anger, uniting them against him, and then finding an opportunity to form a debt collectors' alliance. I've already bribed Agatha Tim, the owner of the Eel Farm in Leicestershire; she's staked half of the Eel Farm's stock and is Bagman's biggest creditor—"

"Once you successfully form the debt collectors' alliance, she will elect you as its leader. Remember—" Skylar smiled, "Our target isn't Bagman, but these creditors with too much money. Since Bagman is already at his wit's end and can't repay his debts, you can manipulate things appropriately, collecting a portion of the debt from him every year to keep the alliance from disbanding. So you need to be careful with the amount; it can't be too much or too little. You need to keep these creditors hoping that they can eventually recover all the debts."

"Your biggest obstacle is the Goblin— " Skylar said coldly, "Bagman owes the Goblin even more money. They've been closely monitoring and tracking Bagman. Any amount you get back from Bagman, no matter how small, is seen by the Goblin as an encroachment on their interests. But you don't need to worry about them. Just go and do what you're supposed to do. As for the Goblin, I'll handle that myself, understand?"

"Yes!" Eagle Eye, already fully immersed in his role, replied.

"Very good. After you leave here, go straight to the Malfoy Armor Shop in Diagon Alley. Someone there will give you a makeover and create new identities." Skylar waved his hand. "Now, go!"

After the two left, Skylar's gaze suddenly turned cold. He looked at Hector Fawley and Lucida Slughorn and laughed, "My old friends, I've been here for so long, haven't you two said anything?"

Hector slightly opened his eyes and saw Skylar's harmless smile. His entire body trembled violently as if electrocuted. A foul stench emanated from below, and the stained brown linen cloth covering his genitals was now soaked with moisture.

He lost control of his bladder. Dark yellow liquid dripped from the hem of the coarse linen cloth onto the ground, making a dripping sound.

"Wow! Look at this," Skylar clicked his tongue and said, "Our young master of the Fawley Family, the family's chosen successor, the imposing chairman of the Ghosts Society, actually wet himself in fear when he saw me... I wonder if your supporters will still support you as the head of the family after seeing this?"

Hector opened his mouth, but no words came out. He was filled with shame and wished he could die immediately rather than suffer such humiliation. He wanted to cry, but found that his dry eyes could no longer shed a single tear.

Lucida struggled to pry open her dry, chapped lips, and roared in a hoarse voice, "You... you monster! You... you pervert!... You broke your promise! You said you'd let us go..."

Skylar shrugged, feigning innocence, and said, "Miss, I could sue you for defamation and slander! Calling me a devil or a pervert is one thing, but when have I ever broken my promise?" He stepped forward and gently lifted Lucida's chin. "Tsk tsk, such a beautiful woman, and now she's turned into this half-human, half-ghostly mess. Fine, considering your miserable state, I'll let this slander and defamation go."

Skylar lowered his hand and stared at the two of them with a cold gaze.

"To convince you, I'll reluctantly explain! I did promise you I wouldn't kill you, and I would even spare your lives, but—" Skylar's lips curled slightly, "Did I say when?"

"No, right?" Skylar said with a smile, "Then wouldn't you say that my breaking my promise is slander and defamation?"

"Besides," Skylar said, ignoring the two men's eyes blazing with resentment, "I'm here today to fulfill my promise—" Skylar paused, a rare smile appearing on his face, "To give you two a final release."
