382. Scott's enemies
"I love her so much, why doesn't she love me!"
Even though he fell into a state of drowsiness under the effect of the truth spitting potion, Carlo's expression was still hideous and resentful when he said these words.
"We've been engaged since we were kids, and I'm her fiancΓ© and her cousin! I'm so good to her! β
He seemed to take the opportunity to vent the pent-up emotions in his heart.
"I can forgive her for not loving me, she will be my wife no matter what! But she shouldn't fall in love with anyone else! Especially falling in love with a girl! β
At this point, his voice became more and more hysterical.
"Why! Travers is dead! She still can't forget her! β
"Travers is a demon! She charmed Catelyn with her magic! She's just taking advantage of her! But why is Caitlyn unwilling to sober up, and even wants to help her get revenge! β
"I received the pendant she gave Travers, and it has her portrait inside!"
"I didn't blame her at the time, I just hid the pendant. Later, when she found the pendant, she didn't admit that it was given to Travers, and even ruined it! β
Hearing this, Scott breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder he didn't find the pendant necklace from Carlo that came from him.
Very well, he thought, without the need for him to destroy the evidence.
"She doesn't love me, doesn't want to marry me, and even starts hating me!"
Carlo continued to expose himself.
"I can only kill her! Only kill her! Hehe, it's better to die Catelyn, she's become more obedient, she'll be completely mine! β
"I ran away from Durmstrang! I'm going to accompany Trollope after I kill her! β
"Caitlyn has always wanted to see Trollope die, and as long as Trollope is dead, she will forgive me!"
"It's a pity that I still failed."
"And Travers, that damn demon! She was the one who bewitched Catelyn! If she hadn't been killed by the stupid house-elves, I'd have killed her too! β
Carlo screamed for a few moments before he fell silent, and then he seemed to fall into a coma again.
There was silence in the Headmaster's office, and Dumbledore's face was a rare look of shock, not to mention Professor Flitwick.
Professor Flitwick, who had always been emotional, visibly gasped.
And that's not all.
Caro's words were like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, making the entire principal's office "lively".
On the wall on one side of the office, the portraits of the former principals all opened their eyes, and they kept looking at Carlo, and even began to whisper.
On the stool next to the desk, the Sorting Hat, which had been motionless like a hat, suddenly moved, and it opened its "eyes" and "mouths".
On the stand in front of the window, Dumbledore's phoenix was standing on it trimming its beautiful feathers, and now it was also staring at Caro with its neck craned.
Scott silently ran the Occlumency Technique, looked at Carlo with a blank expression, and suppressed the thoughts that were surging in his mind in the depths of his brain.
He didn't ask Carlo any more questions, as if he was too shocked by his words to speak.
Of the two who were really shocked, Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick were the first to come to their senses.
"I have to say, I haven't been so surprised in a long time."
As he spoke, he reached for his half-moon glasses, pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the lenses, and put them back on.
Professor Flitwick spoke, "Oh Albus, isn't he a little out of the ordinary?" I think he's crazy! β
"It's hard for me to argue with you, Filius." Dumbledore said, "Mr. Caro doesn't really look like a normal person now. β
Scott blinked his somewhat dry eyes as if he had come to his senses.
"I have one last question." He said, "Caro, since you sneaked back from Durmstrang, how did you meet Strierna?" Also got my message from him. β
"I met him at the Hog's Head Bar." Carlo said, "A few days ago, I was hiding there in disguise, and then I ran into him, and I took the initiative to find him to ask for information. β
Scott nodded, "I see, I'm done with my question." β
He turned to look at the two professors.
Professor Flitwick gave him a reassuring look and said to Dumbledore, "Mr. Caro is a murderer, he should be sent to Azkaban!" He would have gone there a long time ago. β
"You're right." Dumbledore nodded, "I'll contact Mr. Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, as soon as possible." β
"The current Ministry of Magic ......," Professor Flitwick said.
Obviously, he was a little worried about whether the Ministry of Magic, which was now in chaos due to factional strife, would be able to perform its duties well.
"Don't worry, there won't be much resistance to this." Dumbledore said that he did not shy away from Scott, "If the Rolls want to keep him, then they will be isolated in this matter." β
"That's good." Professor Flitwick jumped out of his chair.
His face was a little unsightly.
"I have to say that something doesn't sound right in our conversation, and that's sad." He muttered, "Albus, we all know that the Ministry of Magic can't go on like this!" β
Dumbledore also stood up, "I know, Filius, I'm trying to change the situation, but it's going to take some time. β
"Of course, I trust you, because you're Dumbledore." Professor Flitwick said.
"Thank you." Dumbledore smiled.
"It's late, Scott." Professor Flitwick beckoned to Scott, "Oh, I'm glad it's the weekend, but it's time for you to go back to your dorm room." β
Scott hurriedly responded.
He then left the Rector's Office with Professor Flitwick and returned to the top floor of the Ravenclaw Tower through a secret passage in Professor Flitwick's office.
On the way back, Professor Flitwick said to him, "I will keep an eye on this matter, and I will make sure that Mr. Caro is punished as he deserves." β
Scott walked into the common room and looked at the empty common room, and he was completely relaxed.
Instead of rushing back to his bedroom, he walked to a window.
He looked at his somewhat vague reflection on the slightly reflective glass window, and mentally took stock of the guys he had regarded as enemies so far.
He has only one criterion for identifying enemies - anyone who directly wants his life, or threatens the safety of him and his family, is his enemy.
In chronological order, it starts with Jasmine Travers.
Although the other party was just a little girl, she also wanted to take Scott's life directly, so Scott caused a split accident and took her life.
Then there are Jasmine Travers' companions, Caitlin Rohr and Morgan Avery.
Since the death of Jasmine Travers, Morgan Avery has been completely silent, and Scott has not taken her to heart anymore.
But Caitlin Rohr is different, she wants to avenge Travers, and once sent Scott a letter with hidden poison.
Because of her, Scott has the enemy Elijah Caro.
The two cousins both wanted Scott's life, so Scott used a pendant necklace to amplify the dark side of Carlo's heart because he couldn't ask for it, and successfully planned a play of "licking the dog and blackening".
Now the play is staged as scheduled, and Scott is quite satisfied.
Although Carlo has caused some danger to Scott due to his unexpected surprise attack, Scott believes that this time Carlo will no longer be able to escape the trip to Azkaban.
As soon as Carlo was in Azkaban, he had a way to kill him quietly, just like he did to kill Justin Travers' father.
In addition, there is Borgin Bock, who is hired to trouble Scott's family because he covets the map of Reis, and Montungus Fletch, a thief hired by Mr. Bock to go to Spain.
In order to keep the secret of the map of Reis, and for the safety of his family, Scott decisively killed Ferchech and Bock, making them shut up forever.
In addition to these men, Scott's enemies include the Yaxley family, who coveted the Travers family's wealth.
Faced with a threat from an entire pure-blood family, Scott chose to kill Travers in Azkabanne, believing that he had cleverly broken the game.
When the last Travers died, the Travers family's fortune was completely lost.
The Yaxley family would not be able to own Travers's wealth even if they killed Scott, so naturally they would not do it again.
Scott originally wanted to drag the Yaxley family into the vortex of struggle with the other two pure-blood families by fighting for Travers' property, and then secretly resort to revenge.
To this end, he secretly killed the "heir of Travers" introduced by the Yaxley family, Jacques Yaxley.
But after all, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and he underestimated the greed of the other pure-blood families.
The fate of the Ministry of Magic makes the battle for Travers' legacy confusing, and finally, the unexpected happens-
The Yaxley family reached an agreement with the other two families who were eligible to inherit Travers, and the Travers family heir was chosen peacefully.
At this point, Scott's plan of revenge against the Yaxley family was aborted.
However, there are Brandon Yaxley, who died at the hands of Medea because of bad luck, and Jacques Yaxley, who was poisoned by Scott, and the death of these two people can be regarded as a great loss for the Yaxley family.
But what Scott didn't expect was that the Yaxley family actually died by themselves.
They tried to bet on both Medea and Voldemort, resulting in the family's most powerful old man, as well as his son, who was the head of the family, both going to Azkaban.
Today, there is no one in the Yaxley family, only the eldest son of the head of the family, Liam Yaxley, who once escaped the attack of Scott's poisonous midges, supports the faΓ§ade alone.
It would have been much easier for Scott to try to bring them down completely.
At this point, Yaxley's role as Scott's worst enemy for a while is a thing of the past.
And the biggest enemies that Scott faces today are Medea who wants to use his identity as [the Immortal] to change history, and Salazar Slytherin, who hides behind Medea and wants to "devour" him.
