Lester: "I Need You to Do Me a 'Small' Favor"

Inside the dark, damp prison cell.

Sang Biao knelt on the ground in humiliation, his fierce face wearing an utterly mismatched look of humility.

That was right—he was afraid.

Sang Biao had been a dark wizard since he was eighteen. It was not as if he had never encountered ruthless people before.

But someone as ruthless as Scarface, who stabbed people in the kidney the moment he showed up? Honestly, this was Sang Biao's first time seeing one!

"Big brother, stop stabbing me! I surrender!"

Seeing Sang Biao admit defeat so quickly, Scarface helplessly withdrew his little knife.

"What did you do to end up in here?"

Scarface asked coldly.

In his view, although Sang Biao was built like a small mountain and somewhat cowardly by nature, the fact that he had dared to swagger into the cell and make a scene meant he had some ability.

And the crime he had committed should not have been minor either.

"I-I stole women's underwear..."

Faced with Scarface's question, Sang Biao's face turned crimson. Only after seeing Scarface grow increasingly impatient did he mutter, "I got caught stealing underwear, so they locked me up."

Scarface: "..."

At that moment, Scarface was not the only one left speechless. As the person involved, Sang Biao was the one truly dying of embarrassment.

His mission was simply to kill Lester, and he could leave once the job was done.

So Sang Biao had chosen the lightest possible crime!

He had thought that once he got in, he would be the boss, and no one would know what he had been arrested for.

Yet he had never expected to get screwed over the moment he entered the cell.

Helpless, Sang Biao could only reveal his crime in order to stay alive.

After Sang Biao confessed what he had done, the cell fell into deathly silence.

After a long while, Scarface, the cell boss, slowly spoke. "What's your purpose for coming here?"

That was right. As an old hand, Scarface immediately realized that this fierce-looking fellow had deliberately entered Azkaban.

Otherwise, he had been sent to Azkaban just for stealing underwear?

How much damn underwear would he have to steal for that?!

So even if Scarface were beaten to death, he would not believe Sang Biao had entered Azkaban without some other purpose.

Faced with Scarface's question, Sang Biao was initially startled, unable to understand how Scarface knew.

But after pondering for a moment, he said nonchalantly, "I need to find a brat named Lester!"

In Sang Biao's view, what kind of influence could a little brat like Lester possibly have in Azkaban?

He figured that even without him making a move, Lester would have a hard time leaving Azkaban alive.

But since someone was willing to pay for Lester's life, Sang Biao was more than happy to do the job.

"Lester? A brat?"

Scarface's heart stirred, though his expression remained unchanged. "What? You're looking to cause trouble for a child? Tell me about him. Maybe I've seen him in prison."

Hearing that Scarface might have seen Lester, Sang Biao was delighted and hurriedly began gesturing wildly.

As he gestured, Sang Biao suddenly noticed that the other prisoners were looking at him strangely.

"Why... why are you looking at me like that?"

Sensing that something was wrong, Sang Biao asked dryly.

For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere in the cell had become inexplicably strange.

Suddenly, Scarface, who had been listening to Sang Biao's description, lunged at him.

Caught off guard, Sang Biao was knocked to the ground.

That was not the end of it. The prisoners who had been watching the show rushed in the instant Sang Biao fell, surrounding him and beating him mercilessly.

"He actually dared to cause trouble for Lord Lester! Brothers, beat him up!"

At that moment, inside Lester's cell.

Lester sprang up from his bed with a look of delight, startling the other prisoners in the cell.

Ignoring the prisoners trembling from fright at his sudden movement, Lester focused all his attention on the system in his mind.

On the previously calm system panel, Fear Points were constantly refreshing.

[Ding! Fear Points from Sang Biao +1000]

[Ding! Fear Points from Sang Biao +1000]

[Ding! Fear Points from Sang Biao +1000]

[Ding! Fear Points from Sang Biao +1000]

[...]

"Sang Biao?!" Lester slowly murmured the legendary-sounding name.

When he had frightened others before, he could only gain 100 Fear Points at most.

But this guy named Sang Biao could actually contribute 1,000 Fear Points in a single go!

What did that mean? It meant that this fellow named Sang Biao was not to be underestimated!

Based on Lester's observations over the past few days, the amount of fear someone provided was closely related to their strength.

Those with fairly decent strength could contribute 100 Fear Points at a time.

Those of average strength contributed anywhere from 50 to 100.

Fortunately, everyone who could enter Azkaban was a dark wizard, so their strength was reasonably decent.

That was why they could provide Lester with a respectable amount of Fear Points.

But now that Sang Biao had appeared, everyone else's Fear Points were simply not worth mentioning compared to his!

One person alone was worth a hundred people in Azkaban!

Hadn't he contributed a full ten thousand Fear Points in just a few short minutes?

It was clear that this was a huge cash cow!

"No, I need to find him." Lester immediately jumped down from the bed and eagerly entered his invisible state the moment his feet touched the ground.

Although he could pass through walls without turning invisible, doing so might attract the Dementors' attention.

Therefore, Lester entered his invisible state every time before passing through a wall.

After turning invisible, Lester eagerly placed his hand against the cell wall, his lips moving slightly as he activated the Wall-Piercing Spell.

A moment later, Lester successfully passed through the wall and appeared inside another cell.

The moment Lester entered the cell, he saw a group of people surrounding a pitiful prisoner and kicking him repeatedly.

"Stop!"

Seeing so many people beating one person, Lester could not hold back. He immediately dispelled his invisibility and shouted for everyone to stop.

Just then, he had already confirmed that the person being beaten was Sang Biao, the "huge cash cow" he had been looking for!

Scarface and the others, who had been focused on beating Sang Biao, immediately stopped upon hearing Lester's voice.

"Lord Lester, this guy wanted to cause trouble for you—"

The moment Scarface saw Lester appear, his eyes lit up, and he wanted to step forward to report it.

Yet Lester unexpectedly stepped right past Scarface and walked straight over to Sang Biao.

"Can this one still be saved?"

Looking at Sang Biao beneath his feet, who had been beaten beyond recognition and was barely breathing, Lester hesitated.

The mangled heap of flesh before him made it difficult for Lester to tell whether Sang Biao was still alive.

After hesitating briefly, Lester slowly pulled out the stone knife he carried with him and stabbed Sang Biao's already bloody, mangled body once more.

[Ding! Fear Points from Sang Biao +1000]

Sang Biao: "..."

He had thought an Auror guard had arrived just now, so he had decided to play dead.

Yet he had never expected to get stabbed again for no reason!

"He's still alive!" Unaware of Sang Biao's speechlessness, Lester beamed after delivering the stab.

If he could still gain Fear Points, that meant Sang Biao, this huge cash cow, was still alive!
