Three more days later, Sirius noticed movement at night.
White Raven Chamber of Commerce He squatted in the darkness of the back alley of the shop for several nights.
The first two nights were calm, with only rats and wild cats rummaging through the garbage.
After midnight on the third night, an unmarked black carriage slid in from the alley. The curtains were drawn tightly, and the wheels ran over the stone road and stopped in the back alley.
The car door opened and six people got out.
The leader was a middle-aged wizard with broad shoulders, two old scars on his face, and a pair of daggers stuck at his waist.
The five people in the back, all wearing gray cloaks, scanned both ends of the alley before entering.
Sirius hid in the shadows.
Less than half a quarter of an hour after the six people entered the shop, two more groups of people came to the alley.
One group came from the north, with seven or eight people, and the other group came from the south, with more people. The total number of people before and after was nearly thirty.
Everyone was wearing black robes with hoods covering their upper eyes. Many of them had wands in their hands and looked around them warily.
Sirius exited the back alley, turned into Diagon Alley main street, and was about to walk towards the Group Three office when he bumped into Ben and Weiqi.
"White Raven Chamber of Commerce There are a lot of people here. Ben, you and Weiqi go around to the side and stare from a distance. Don't get too close. I'll call Lin."
As Sirius was talking, there was a rustling of footsteps behind him. "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Ministry of Magic's tail."
The broad-shouldered wizard at the head walked out of the shadows, his two old scars glowing white under the street lights, and the short knife in his hand twirled between his fingers.
"I've seen you." He stared at Sirius.
"What happened to that boy Black family who caused a lot of fuss on the wanted warrant? He became a dog for Ministry of Magic?"
Sirius didn't answer the call.
"Don't let them run away." Broad Shoulder tilted his head, and the five wands behind him were raised at the same time.
Sirius is the first to move.
While pulling out the wand with his left hand, he picked up the trash can lid with his right hand and blasted it with "Reducto". The trash can lid turned into pieces of metal and rained down, covering the other person's face.
The spell cast by the gray cloak on both sides was misdirected, and a red light hit his left shoulder. Holes were burned out of the robe, and a piece of skin was scorched.
Sirius groaned, and the second spell was shot out.
"Incendio"
A wall of fire shot up from the ground and divided the alley into two. Three people on the opposite side jumped back and two people circled the side.
Sirius turned around and ran, reaching the corner of the alley. Ben and Weiqi were already surrounded by seven or eight other people.
Weiqi waved the wand quickly, protecting Ben and retreating to the corner, but there were too many people on the opposite side. Two light ropes wrapped around Weiqi's ankles and dragged him to the ground. Ben was about to pull him away, but received a "Stupefy" blow.
Sirius cursed in a low voice.
He rushed into the encirclement, covered Weiqi with a "Protego", and dragged Ben to the wall.
The broad-shouldered wizard caught up from behind, the short knife flew out, and the tip of the blade made a gash on Sirius's thigh.
Sirius responded with "Cruciatus Curse", hitting the broad shoulder and chest, causing the opponent to fall down like a shrimp.
But there are too many people on the other side.
Weiqi was hit by three spells at the same time and fell to the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Sirius gritted his teeth and disappeared directly "Apparition".
Lin Ze is currently looking through Weier family's real estate records in Group Three's office.
Sirius fell out of the fireplace, his robe was torn several times, the burns on his left shoulder stretched from the collar to his elbow, and the cuts on his thighs were not dealt with in time, turning his trouser legs into a dark color.
He staggered up to Lin Ze, and his embarrassed appearance startled Lin Ze.
"Ben and Weiqi were caught by them." Sirius's voice was hoarse and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Nearly thirty people came from the other side. The three of us were blocked in the alley. Two of them were knocked down. I had no choice but to run back first."
Lin Ze grabbed his coat and put it on his body, "In the store?"
"Yes." Sirius nodded.
"Wait here, I'll go get them back."
Lin Ze comes directly through "Boundary Break".
The paved back alley of White Raven Chamber of Commerce was blocked by those two groups of people, and about thirty wizards had sealed both ends of the alley tightly. He walked around to the second floor of the idle warehouse next door, climbed out of the window, stepped on the drainage pipe of the outer wall, moved sideways for more than ten steps, and landed on the paved roof.
The tiles came loose and there was a crunch under the feet.
Someone below immediately looked up.
Lin Ze didn't give him a chance to say anything. He said "Stunning Spell" silently, and the man leaned against the wall without even humming.
The lights in the main hall of the shop were brightly lit.
Lin Ze Looking down from the skylight on the roof, Ben was tied behind his back and thrown in the corner, face down. He didn't know whether he was unconscious or awake.
Weiqi was hung from the beam by two ropes, his head tilted to one side, and his face was covered in blood.
The broad-shouldered wizard sat in front of the counter, with a dozen gray cloaks standing next to him. The rest of the people were scattered between the store and the back alley.
Lin Ze counted, there were twenty-three people visible, including the ones who didn't show up in the back alley, they were probably in their early thirties.
The broad-shouldered leader was speaking very quickly, as if he was arranging something.
Lin Ze didn't hear clearly and didn't bother to listen.
He took his wand out of his sleeve and kicked open the skylight.
The broken glass smashed down, and dozens of heads below were raised at the same time.
He jumped down along with the glass and landed three meters directly in front of the counter. Dark golden dragon scales had covered his body, leaving only his eyes exposed.
His broad shoulders are not slow to react, and he can throw the dagger right out of his hand.
Lin Ze turned his head to give way, and his right hand "Reducto" hit the chair he was sitting on. The pieces of wood exploded into pieces. His broad shoulders were overturned by the air wave, and he hit the shelves behind him.
"Petrificus Totalus"
Lin Ze flicked his left hand, and petrified lines appeared at the feet of the three gray cloaks closest to him, climbing up from the ankles. The three of them were frozen in place as soon as they raised their wands.
The others had already reacted by this time.
More than a dozen spells were fired at the same time, the colors were messy, red, green, purple, Lin Ze stood there without trying to hide.
"Protego"
Shield Charm opened a golden barrier, and the spell hit it and exploded dense sparks, none of which could penetrate.
Lin Ze pushed forward against the barrage, connected the points with his right wand, and hit "Stupefy" one after another from the gaps in the barrier, one at a time. Every time he clicked, a person fell on the opposite side, like cutting wheat.
In less than five seconds, there were only four gray cloaks left standing in the main hall.
The broad-shouldered man crawled out from the ruins of the shelf, holding a new pair of short knives in his hands. The blades were engraved with dark red lines. He stared at Lin Ze, the two scars on his face stretched white.
"Who are you?"
