Werewolf Wizard, Lupin
Dozens of meters away from the Guild, the black-robed wizards who had been chasing the Werewolf glanced at Lester with great apprehension, immediately pointed their wands into the air to indicate that they meant no harm, and then slowly retreated.
It's not that they're too cowardly, it's that Lester is too terrifying.
The Hunter Family, if they had developed properly, might have become a member of a long-established pure-blood club. However, just because of a quarrel with a child named Lester, they were all wiped out half an hour later.
The family of four has not been found to this day, and it is estimated that Elphias Doge.
Although they were ruthless dark wizards, compared to the power behind Lester, they were incredibly kind.
At the very least, when they have conflicts with others, they would at most use Killing Curse with, rather than killing an entire family at the drop of a hat. That would be far too arrogant.
Soon, the two Werewolf who had been panting and fleeing for their lives also noticed the abnormality behind them. When they discovered that the five menacing dark wizards were actually quite afraid of the boy in front of them, Lupin immediately cast a wary glance at Lester.
It wasn't that Lupin was repaying kindness with enmity, but as Werewolf himself, he knew that wizards in the Wizarding World generally harbored hatred towards Werewolf, and basically, if they could kill Werewolf, no one would choose to show them mercy.
Therefore, even though those dark wizards have retreated because of the boy's intimidation, Lupin cannot be sure whether the boy is a good person.
Of course, in Lupin's eyes, the boy was more likely not a good person and probably came from a very powerful Pure-blood families, so much so that the dark wizards would rather give up hunting them down than approach this shop.
If it were Pure-blood wizard, Lupin would really have a headache. It wasn't that he was prejudiced against Pure-blood wizard, but in the Wizarding World, Pure-blood wizard were undoubtedly the most discriminatory towards their Werewolf group.
It could even be said that, apart from the few Pure-blood families in Dumbledore's faction, almost no pure-bloods would respect Werewolf.
"Should we go over and thank him?" Lupin hesitated, looking at Lester who was standing by, seemingly uninterested and clearly didn't want to talk to him.
If he were alone now, and Lester had saved him, then regardless of whether Lester's actions were intentional or not, he should go up and thank him.
But he still had a Werewolf by his side. In Lupin's kind eyes, the risk to himself was nothing, but the child was innocent.
If Lester finds out about the Werewolf ' true strength, and he howls once, given their family's power, probably half the wizards in Knockturn Alley will come out to deal with them.
Just as Lupin was hesitating about whether to thank Lester, Lester was looking at his system panel with a puzzled expression.
[Ding! You have gained 100 Fear Points from Lisca.]
[Ding! You have gained 100 Fear Points from Korola.]
[Ding! You have gained 100 Fear Points from Oni.]
[...]
Lester stared in bewilderment at the black-robed wizards who were slowly retreating with fawning smiles on their faces. For the first time, he felt completely lost.
If this were Azkaban, it would be understandable that these dark wizards were so afraid of him, but isn't this Knockturn Alley?
"Could there be a traitor in Azkaban?" Lester muttered to himself with some doubt.
Unless a prisoner deliberately revealed his existence, there's no way anyone would know his name!
And even if some prisoners were truly mentally unstable and exposed Lester, claiming he was the Dark Lord and that he was behind everything, then...
So what? An 11-year-old Dark Lord? Who would believe such nonsense? Especially coming from a prisoner, no one would believe it at all.
Therefore, Lester was not afraid of the prisoners betraying him or leaking secrets. No one would believe what ordinary prisoners said if they betrayed him, and the interests of the core prisoners were closely related to his own, so they would never betray him. Therefore, Lester did not need to worry about others betraying him at all.
Of course, Lester also had one crucial advantage: profit.
Some people might cast loyalty spells on their followers to control them. Voldemort, for example, would usually cast the Dark Mark on his followers to maintain their loyalty.
But in Lester's eyes, this was undoubtedly a very foolish move.
No wonder Voldemort, despite being stronger than Dumbledore, couldn't defeat Dumbledore in the end; his mind was clearly not working properly.
To gain absolute loyalty from your subordinates, you don't need magic, but rather a shared interest.
Now, Lester and the prisoners of Azkaban are undoubtedly part of an Azkaban Interest Group.
Lester didn't need to cast any spells on the prisoners. If he used magic to threaten them into becoming his subordinates, they would only see him as a subordinate and consider working for him as just an employee.
But what if they are considered part of a vested interest group? Then they themselves would see themselves as the masters of Azkaban, and once Azkaban's interests are threatened, the prisoners would immediately launch a fierce counterattack without Lester even having to say a word.
After the black-robed wizards left, Lester looked at Lupin, who was standing in the middle of the road with a hesitant look in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Lester wouldn't bother with him. After all, they were not related, and he had only saved him unintentionally; he had no intention of taking care of him at all.
But as soon as he looked at Lupin, he immediately changed his mind.
[Ding! Remus Lupin's Fear Points +500]
Lester: "..."
"Am I really that scary?!" Lester looked at the system notification, then glanced at Lupin, who was dressed in tattered clothes, and was still somewhat uneasy.
Perhaps because Lester spent every day with the prisoners, Lester demeanor was exceptionally refined.
If it were just his exceptional temperament, that would be a good thing, but his gaze is indeed rather fierce.
As the saying goes, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and Lester believed that there was nothing wrong with his soul.
But after spending so much time with those prisoners, my mindset gradually changed without me even realizing it.
As a result, Lester now unconsciously carries a hint of indifference towards life in his eyes. This look might not be noticeable to the average person, but a seasoned veteran like Lupin would certainly be able to see it.
Upon seeing the look in Lester's eyes, Lupin's heart sank to the bottom.
I originally thought that even though Lester was Pure-blood families, he was still a child, and even if he was influenced by his elders from time to time, his nature should still be good.
But when he saw the look in Lester's eyes, he hesitated.
Lupin, who fought alongside Dumbledore against Voldemort, had seen this look before; only high-ranking pure-blood dark wizards possessed such a terrifying gaze.
