Kidnapper Trio
After Nongka left, Lester no longer concealed his murderous intent and unleashed it directly in the hall.
If there were an ordinary wizard present, given Lester's terrifying killing intent, the wizard would be too terrified to act without Lester even lifting a finger.
Lester asked for their family's address not to deliver a contract, but simply to find out where their family members lived.
If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in spring. Even if I burn these dark wizards to death with Fiendfyre now, it will not only ruin the shop that I've worked so hard to renovate, but it will also alert the rest of the Hunter Family. If they run away, Lester will be much harder to catch.
Therefore, he decided to strike secretly at night, waiting for the entire family to gather together before unleashing a Fiendfyre to wipe them out. This way, he could not only gain Fear Points but also eliminate potential enemies—a double win.
As for whether there were any innocent people in their family, Lester said that he was not a saint, and besides, in a dark wizarding family like theirs that made their fortune through coercion and extortion, who was innocent?
Even the newborn babies in their family are born with sin.
Take, for example, a child trafficker who profits immensely from kidnapping other people's children and then uses the money to provide a lavish lifestyle for his own children. How can you say the children are innocent?
If they are innocent, then aren't the others they oppressed innocent too? Judging from their family's recent actions, the Hunter Family must be used to being domineering and tyrannical, and for the sake of profit, they have driven countless people to their deaths.
Therefore, Lester's killing of their entire family was not because he Lester petty, but rather because he was doing a service to the people.
At this moment, Nongka Hunter was unaware that his family had been targeted by a petty and narrow-minded tycoon, and was happily walking home with his henchmen.
"Hmph, once I take over the shops from the Pucey Family, I can start my own business."
To encourage advancement among the family's members, the Hunter Family had a simple, albeit brutal, rule: whoever acquired a property could keep it, except they would have to pay tribute to the family every month.
As the third son of the clan leader and the third young master of the Hunter Family, Nongka was naturally entitled to a shop of his own. Just as Nongka was dreaming of making money while lying down, an unexpected change occurred.
As they walked forward, chatting and laughing, Nongka was still happily telling his men about the big prizes when he suddenly heard a series of incantations behind him.
The loud sound of a spell tearing through the air startled Hunter. The figures around him screamed and fell to the ground. When Hunter turned around in great horror, clutching his head, he saw tall, masked men quickly surrounding him, wands in hand.
"Quickly, arrest this kid! Ignore the others."
"To think he could get out of offending Lord Lai, this kid is incredibly lucky."
"Stop talking nonsense, they're extorting money from their family, hurry up and do it!"
The terrifying whisper was the last sound Nongka heard before he was struck by a Stunning Spell and immediately passed out.
A few dozen seconds later, three tall, burly masked men in black robes had already lifted the unconscious Hunter up and escaped the scene using teleportation.
The speed and efficiency of this gang of dark wizards in carrying out their kidnappings truly amazed every dark wizard on the streets of Knockturn Alley.
Witnesses claimed that the three black-robed wizards suddenly attacked from the rooftop, and their methods were extremely ruthless. They subdued Hunter and his group in just a few seconds, and all of Hunter's henchmen were knocked unconscious. Their actions were incredibly brutal.
Later, in a small bungalow in the Knockturn Alley slum, the group of dark wizards who had kidnapped Hunter removed their hoods, revealing their true faces.
Beneath those faces were familiar faces to Lester: Sang Biao, Scarface, and Hou San.
Indeed, during the time Lester was heading to Knockturn Alley to open his shop, the construction of Azkaban was already on track.
Each prisoner's own house was completed, along with all the necessary infrastructure, all meticulously constructed. The only thing missing was the Azkaban Academy, which Lester himself had ordered to be built.
Since Lester built the Azkaban Academy in imitation of China architecture, and the academy's educational model was modeled after the Jixia Academy, the building could not be done carelessly and required a professional design master, which was beyond the capabilities of these prisoners.
So the prisoners found themselves with nothing to do. Although Azkaban was now like home to them, they couldn't just stay home all the time, could they?
Although they are prisoners, they still need to eat. Their lodging is free, but their food can't be free.
Moreover, although they managed to rob the Wizarding World last time, with so many prisoners, they could only steal a small amount of money, and gradually all the prisoners fell into a predicament of being penniless.
Of course, there were free prison meals in Azkaban, but the prisoners who were living comfortably now had no appetite for such food.
So, a few quick-thinking prisoners decided to start a business together. Sang Biao, Scarface, and Hou San formed an Azkaban startup team, and their main business was very much in line with their pre-prison profession: kidnappers.
Working is out of the question, they'll never work in their lives, but in order to make money, they still decided to engage in illegal activities, namely becoming kidnappers.
Low cost, high returns, and easy work—where else can they find this kind of job?
Sure enough, Sang Biao had just been released from Azkaban on medical parole when he saw Nongka arguing with Lester.
He had assumed that, given Lord Lai's personality, Nongka would definitely not make it out alive, but the opposite was true. Lord Lai seemed to have changed his ways and actually spared his life.
However, while Lord Lai might let him go, Sang Biao wouldn't allow it; he immediately led his team to kidnap him.
I was really worried about not having anyone to kidnap, and then this unlucky guy, Nongka, just happened to run into me. It was like a pillow being delivered when I was sleepy.
[Ding! You have gained 100 Fear Points from Nongka Hunter]
Lester: "???"
Looking at the system notification with a bewildered expression, Lester was completely confused. Hadn't he just sent Nongka home?
I haven't even wiped out their entire family yet, so why would he give me any Fear Points?!
If Lester was merely bewildered, then Nongka, who had just been kidnapped, was utterly devastated.
The moment you open your eyes, you're met with three menacing robbers. Who wouldn't be devastated?
