Test of Two Servants

After subduing Bole, Skylar made him side with Peter Pettigrew and Macnair.

Skylar turned his gaze back to the two kneeling figures and said contemptuously, "It seems you two really are useless. So much time has passed, and you still can't figure out what use you are."

Upon hearing this, the two knew they were in trouble, but they couldn't think of anything to say to persuade Skylar, so they could only beg for mercy with miserable expressions.

"Fine, considering how much of a surprise your colleagues have given me, I'll be kind and do you a favor this once and for all—" Skylar said with a slight smile, "Yaxley!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Yaxley replied in a deep voice.

"A Pure-blood families only needs one voice!" Skylar said coldly. "Following the House of Rowle, the House of Avery is the same; they no longer have any reason to exist—you and Avery are quite close, aren't you? A few years ago, when I clashed with Lestrange, you and Avery were among the first to stand up and act as allies..."

"Please forgive my foolishness, Master!" Yaxley hurriedly said. "From this day forward, the House of Yaxley will follow the lead of the House of Malfoy in everything!"

"I need you—while the House of Avery is still unaware of their patriarch's death, lead your clan and men to attack the House of Avery. This shouldn't be difficult for you. The House of Avery won't suspect your betrayal, the guards at their ancestral home won't be on guard against you, and their defensive magic won't be activated. They might even welcome you with open arms. Take Fawley and Slughorn with you! Let them be your helpers, and let them atone for their crimes!"

"Yes, I understand!"

"Thank you, Master, for your magnanimity! Thank you, Master, for your grace!" Fawley and Slughorn, knowing they had been spared Avery's fate, finally breathed a sigh of relief and kept praising Skylar's kindness.

"Remember! Eliminate them completely! Don't leave any future troubles!" Skylar solemnly instructed, "After it's done, the House of Avery's wealth will be divided among the three of you. You can distribute it as you see fit, but—"

Skylar understood the principle that people are willing to die for money. To get these fickle former Death Eaters to work for him, the mark of the Fear Charm alone was not enough. He needed to offer them sufficient benefits to motivate them.

At the beginning of this school year, Dolfin Rowle was convicted of the Black Sin Square case, and Skylar took the opportunity to eliminate the House of Rowle. At that time, the House of Malfoy, the Greengrass Family, and the Nott Family were the ones who took action. Skylar also generously distributed the spoils obtained from the House of Rowle to his allies. It was from that time that the Greengrass Family and the Nott Family formed a close alliance with him.

"I can forgo wealth, but all of the House of Avery's books, Dark Arts items, secret spells, and core inheritances must be handed over to me, understand?" Skylar stared sharply at Fawley and Slughorn, and said coldly, "This is your only chance to prove your loyalty and worth. I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Yes, sir! We will keep your orders firmly in mind and deliver all the books and items to you without missing a single one," Fawley and Slughorn said urgently.

Just then, Sarf had settled Latifa back in her cell. At Skylar's instruction, she gave the group healing Potions and then returned their wands to them one by one.

The theatrical performance of subduing the Death Eaters was slowly drawing to a close, the curtain about to fall.

Corban Yaxley officially became Skylar's vassal and subordinate, and his entire family subsequently became one of Skylar's forces within the Great Britain wizarding world.

Peter Pettigrew and Bahaza Bole became Skylar's servants, changing their names and joining the Sleeping Dragon Society under false identities to work for Skylar, and respectively belonging to the "Dragon Fangs" and "Dragon Eye" groups.

Macnair is not yet Skylar's subordinate; his abilities and loyalty still need to be tested. Only once he successfully becomes the captain of the Beast Extermination Execution Squad can he rightfully submit to Skylar and become one of Skylar servants.

Similarly, Claude Fawley and Squall Slughorn were not approved by Skylar —the attack on the House of Avery was a test assigned to them by Skylar, and only if they could accomplish this task to Skylar's satisfaction would they be qualified to become Skylar's servants.

Skylar had a plan in mind for what to do with these two guys.

Among the Pure-blood families of Great Britain, both the Fawley Family and the Slughorn Family were targets that Skylar sought to acquire.

Although Claude and Squall are only members of a collateral branch of the family, with their own backing, extensive network of connections, and abundant resources, who's to say they wouldn't be capable of launching a rebellion, seizing power, and ultimately taking control of the family?

Once they truly become the heads of their respective families, wouldn't the Fawley Family and Slughorn Family, as their obedient servants, naturally fall under their control and become their possessions?

Even if they fail to seize power and become the head of the family, as long as they secretly build influence within their respective families or strive for higher status and greater power, they will eventually become pawns in Skylar's hands.

"Very good, now, put your arms out!" Skylar looked at Peter Pettigrew and the others who were already standing to the side, and said, "You too, come here and put your arms out!"

The six men did as instructed, standing in a row in front of Skylar with their arms outstretched.

"Seal of Demonic Suppression!" Skylar shouted, unleashing the full power of the Nether Night Wand. To everyone's astonishment, his aura surged to the level of Grand Sorcerer, and he sealed the Dark Mark on everyone's arms one by one.

In this way, Voldemort would no longer be able to track their location, and they could serve Skylar without any worries.

That's not all.

Then, Skylar placed the Sleeping Dragon Mark on each of their arms.

"This is the Sleeping Dragon Mark— " Skylar noticed their dismissive expressions and sneered, "Don't compare my magic to that low-grade Dark Mark. With the Sleeping Dragon Mark, no matter where you are, I can activate the curse on the mark with a single thought and turn you into beasts."

The six men were immediately jolted, finally realizing what kind of life-or-death contract they had sworn to sign.
