By the time Lester finished drawing lots using the system, the sun was almost setting, leaving only a sliver of its afterglow on the streets of Knockturn Alley.

Seeing this, Lester also took out the black robe he had prepared beforehand from his bedroom on the second floor, and then sketched Quirrell's appearance in his mind.

A moment later, Lester's small body shook violently, and then, under the influence of Boggart Transformation ability, Lester successfully transformed into Quirrell's appearance.

"Wow, did my gaze look a bit sinister?"

After putting on the black robe that had been prepared beforehand, Lester looked in the mirror and felt that the ' Quirrell ' in the mirror didn't look like a good person at all.

Perhaps it was because he had committed too much killing in Azkaban and the Ministry of Magic that his eyes had unconsciously developed an attitude of contempt for life.

Previously, his true form was a young boy, so it wasn't very noticeable under his youthful face. But now that he has the appearance of an adult, that cold gaze immediately affects his entire demeanor.

"Fine, being a little insidious is better, otherwise how can I take the blame?"

After making sure he had covered everything, Lester furtively pushed open the Guild's door, looked around, and, finding no one paying attention to him, immediately darted out.

The sun had already set, except for the commercial area in the center of Knockturn Alley, which was still brightly lit under the streetlights.

The entire perimeter of Knockturn Alley was plunged into darkness once again, with the faint light from the few streetlights barely enough to illuminate the street.

However, this might not be a bad thing for the group of dark wizards in the Knockturn Alley, since nighttime is when they work.

As soon as it got dark, the streets of Knockturn Alley immediately came alive. You see, even though they were dark wizards, they were still human and needed to relax.

Sure enough, the Madman Bar in the Knockturn Alley became lively as soon as it got dark, with many dark wizards coming here to vent their emotions.

Lester had lived in Knockturn Alley for a while now, and although he didn't go out much, he still knew a thing or two about the most popular bar in Knockturn Alley.

Unlike the Leaky Cauldron, which serves as a vital link between the Muggle World and Diagon Alley, this place is a crucial channel connecting the two societies. Although the Ministry of Magic doesn't pay much attention to it, illegal and disorderly conduct in the Wizarding World certainly can't take place there; otherwise, wouldn't that be giving the officials of the Ministry of Magic a hard time?

Therefore, the Madman Bar in Knockturn Alley, run by the Fawley Family among the 28 pure-bloods, became a must-visit option for many dark wizards to act arrogantly.

Just like the Continental Hotel in the United States, the Madman Bar also has all sorts of businesses, such as assassination, finding lost items, special services, and accommodation.

In fact, due to the Fawley Family's reputation in the dark wizarding world, many dark wizards often choose to conduct their transactions in the Madman Bar.

Although a portion of the payment must be handed over to the Fawley Family, the transaction will also be protected by the Fawley Family, thus preventing any double-crossing.

As a member of the Sacred Twenty-Eight Families, the Fawley Family can be considered the largest dark wizarding family in the entire Wizarding World.

Today, this Madman Bar, run by the Fawley Family, is about to welcome an uninvited guest.

"This is it." From afar, you can see several black wizards dressed in black robes, with only their eyes showing, hurrying in and out under the sign of the Madman Bar.

Their identities are not hard to guess: assassins, fugitives, middlemen, smugglers—in short, none of them can be revealed.

Mimicking the attire of these dark wizards, Lester also draped a black robe over his head, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

Instead of rushing into the Madman Bar, Lester first stopped on the street near the bar.

Although he came to the Madman Bar intending to cause some trouble for Quirrell, he still needed to protect his personal safety.

It wasn't that he was afraid there might be wizards in the Madman Bar who would pose a threat to him, but rather that he couldn't use his most powerful spell, Fire Shield Charm, right now. If there really was a bunch of dark wizards attacking him together in the Madman Bar, he would have a hard time dealing with it. So, Lester decided to cause some trouble on the outskirts to upgrade his Killing Curse.

Lester quickly spotted his target.

Because Lester had been standing by the roadside lost in thought, many wizards passing by on their way to the Madman Bar would glance at him subconsciously. However, these dark wizards were there to make money and naturally didn't intend to cause trouble. So, after glancing at Lester and finding nothing strange about him, they would quickly leave.

However, Lester cannot allow them to leave so easily now.

"Hey! You bastard, what are you looking at? Are you going to fight me?!"

The dark wizard Philip, who was suddenly stopped by Lester, was taken aback and didn't react for a moment. However, when he saw Lester walking towards him aggressively, he immediately realized that this guy was probably coming for him.

Philip watched as Lester walked towards him step by step. Although he didn't know what Lester was going to do, he subconsciously squatted down slightly, adjusted his center of gravity, and at the same time, his right hand touched his waist, instantly entering a fighting stance.

As a dark wizard who lives on the edge of a knife, Philip is naturally no ordinary person. If anyone else dared to speak to him like that, he would have already pulled out his wand and given them a Avada Kedavra, letting them know why the Killing Curse is so green.

However, the man in front of him, dressed in a black robe with only his eyes showing, made him feel a strong sense of danger just by standing there.

"This person is definitely not simple!" Philip became more vigilant, his eyes darting around as he tried to find an escape route.

It wasn't that Philip was a coward, but rather that the pressure from Lester was simply too overwhelming. Having witnessed bloodshed and murder, Philip knew that this black-robed wizard was no ordinary person.

Philip had seen that look in his eyes, which regarded life as ants, in many dark wizards.

However, unlike Lester's eyes, which were mostly filled with arrogance and brutality, Lester's eyes revealed confidence and murderous intent.

As the old saying goes, when you kill too many people, a murderous aura unconsciously seeps into your bones. Outsiders may not see anything special about it, they may just think that this person is a bit evil, but in the eyes of his peers, he is a great Buddha.

Based on Philip's three years of experience as a hitman, the black-robed wizard who suddenly called out to him exuded a murderous aura that suggested he had at least a dozen lives on his hands. He knew he was no match for such a desperate criminal.
