The Truth from Fourteen Years Ago

Upon hearing Carrow's words, Xiwen frowned deeply.

"What do you mean?" he asked coldly.

"What I mean is, you should have died a long time ago!" Carrow laughed maniacally. "If it weren't for that good-for-nothing Jiménez's curse somehow failing, your entire soul would have been corrupted at birth!"

Upon hearing Carrow's frantic words, Xiwen's eyes widened suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat.

He flashed to Carrow's side, and then a golden magic seal appeared on his index fingertip, which he instantly injected into Carrow's mind through her brow.

In Carrow's mind, Xiwen saw a small group within the Pure-blood Party that she led, and their cruel and evil plans—

In 1925, Grindelwald's influence was not as widespread globally as it is now. Although many Pure-blood families expressed tacit support for Grindelwald's ideals, the Pure-blood were not monolithic, and even within a single family, there were differing opinions.

Pure-blood families often have fanatical radicals who are keen to rule Muggle as Grindelwald described. However, the patriarch or other members of the family are likely to be more conservative and often vehemently oppose these radicals.

As a staunch follower of Grindelwald, Carrow also encountered such a situation.

In those days, she was eager to persuade the Pure-blood of the Carrow family to support Grindelwald's ideals, but the old patriarch and the family heirs remained hesitant. During the six months Grindelwald disappeared, they firmly rejected Carrow's plans to search for Grindelwald.

To this end, Carrow secretly cursed her grandfather, hastening his death. The Carrow family never imagined that the death of their patriarch was caused by his most beloved granddaughter.

After the patriarch's death, the heir seized power. With the idea of going all the way, Carrow tampered with the broomstick before the heir went out on his flying broom, staging an accident that caused him to fall to his death.

From then on, there were no more male heirs in the family. Carrow, the most direct descendant and the most powerful, thus gained the authority to speak within the family and could rightfully provide assistance to Grindelwald.

However, this ruthless witch, who would stop at nothing to achieve her goal, did not stop there. Her success with her own family made her realize the effectiveness of this method, and she began to consider doing the same thing to other Pure-blood families.

So Carrow set her sights on Vida Rozier of the Rosier family, a woman whom Grindelwald trusted even more than she did.

However, Carrow rejected Vida's suggestion to kill the men of the Rosier family; Vida was not so depraved as to do that.

Carrow, however, was still not satisfied, so he secretly established a small group within the Pure-blood Party that fanatically worshipped Grindelwald. Together, they ruthlessly targeted families that had followers within the Pure-blood Party but could not give those followers control of the discourse.

The Rosier family became a target of this group, with the men suffering repeated misfortunes until only the elderly and frail patriarch remained. The patriarch never left the Rosier family home again, leaving Carrow and her group with no suitable opportunity to strike.

Fortunately, Chief Rozier is getting old, and it won't be long before he passes the position to Vida.

Later, when he heard that the Rosier family had a branch in England with a male heir, Carrow ordered a curse master named Joreli Gimenez from the Pure-blood Party to Xiwen, and placed a curse on the poor baby during the Seven-Night Ceremony after Xiwen's birth.

To maintain secrecy, the curse only eroded the newborn's extremely weak soul, leaving his physical body alive.

Theoretically speaking, as Xiao Xiwen grows up normally, his father's grave will gradually discover his abnormalities, and only after careful examination will it be found that he is a mentally challenged child without a soul.

However, unbeknownst to him, the genius wizard Xiwen, who had been rejected by another universe, was accepted by this soulless body and became the Young Wizard Xiwen in his place, standing before Carrow in his place.

Clearly, Carrow and his group were unaware of this and believed they had already dealt with the newborn baby in the Rosier Family, so their remaining task was to kill Xiwen's biological father, Leo Rozier.

So, in the winter of 1925, Leo, Sandrine, Xiwen, and an infant encountered two powerful masked dark wizards in the wild. Leo Rozier and Miller, the House-Elf at the time, were both killed by the dark wizards.

At the Xiwen moment, Siven, who had just arrived in this universe, drew upon the energy left behind by the Ancient One and the magic within himself, unleashing a powerful force that instantly Oblivion the two dark wizards. It was precisely because of this that he saved his own life and Sandrine's.

Carrow wasn't too disappointed after hearing about it. After all, the only two men in the family, Leo Xiwen, had been killed by the Killing Curse and had their souls corrupted by the curse. It seemed that the Rosier Family couldn't find a second heir. So she confidently turned her attention to other families and stopped paying attention to Rozier's affairs.

After reading Carrow's memories, Xiwen opened his eyes in shock.

"How can there be such a cruel person as you in this world?!" he said through gritted teeth, staring at Carrow. "Is life nothing more than insignificant insects in your eyes?"

"So what if I am?" Carrow looked at Xiwen with a defiant gaze and said incoherently, "Do you hate me now? Do you want to kill me?"

"But do you really have the courage to kill? Even the Killing Curse I cast on you didn't dare to be cast on me, little kid. I bet you've never killed anyone before, have you?"

"You!" Xiwen couldn't help but draw his wand, almost wanting to cast the Unforgivable Curses on her.

"Rozier!"

Seeing Xiwen's furious reaction, Kama suddenly shouted his name.

Then, Kama stepped forward, grabbed Xiwen's shoulder from behind, and slowly shook his head at him.

"Don't let this crazy woman influence you, Rozier. Killing isn't courage, and it's nothing to be proud of!" Kama said. "Killing is just a last resort, a desperate measure when things have come to a head!"

After being reminded by Kama, Xiwen calmed his agitated emotions and let out a long breath.

"Of course, I shouldn't be influenced by her," he said in a low, hoarse voice. "Carrow will get what she deserves, right where it's most appropriate."

The next moment, Xiwen opened a Dimensional Gate and, following Carrow's memories, arrived at the main hall of the Carrow family.
