Chapter 381: Showdown!

There was a strange silence in the office.

After Dumbledore said this, Alvin felt something was wrong.

Why does Dumbledore say that?

Is what he did expose?

Alvin's mouth twitched slightly.

His movements are a bit too much, so it's reasonable to see which one is exposed.

What about letting Grindelwald out?

Grindelwald would have come to tip off long ago if that were the case.

Is he colluding with a few Death Eaters?

No, Dumbledore wouldn't care about such trivial matters. After all, he was a rebel.

Release Bella, control Crouch, resurrect the dead, and control Knockturn Alley.

The more Alvin thought about it, the more wrong he felt. How could he feel more and more like the villain?

None of these sounds very positive.

Inexplicably, Alvin felt a little guilty.

"Gaunt, do you want to know what happened to me then?"

Dumbledore didn't mean to be angry at Alvin's silence but continued to ask.

"Of course, Professor."

Alvin nodded, listening with all ears.

Even if some things have been known for a long time, they can still get different feelings from the mouths of the parties.

"Decades ago, I, like you, thought the world was flawed, and I wanted to change that."

Dumbledore fell into memory, and his thoughts returned to Godric's Hollow.

"At that time, I also met a like-minded friend who was more radical than me, but our direction was the same."

"You mean Grindelwald?" Alvin raised his eyebrows. He knew this passage very well.

"It's him." Dumbledore is not shy. It's no secret that he and Grindelwald met back then.

Some books have called them close friends, and while it's inaccurate, it's not too far off.

"Grindelwald believes that there is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two, and there must be a priority."

"He spent decades using his power and the gift of prophecy to win over many wizards."

"And I've been through something, giving up our vows and choosing to stand against him."

Speaking of which, Dumbledore was also a little embarrassed.

No matter how many things Grindelwald did, his ideals were respected.

That's why now he immediately gathers so many followers as soon as he returns.

People who work hard for their ideals will always have some unique charms.

"He also chose a wonderful time to start the war with his gift of prophecy and had an equally crazy ally."

Alvin's heart shrank suddenly.

He had never known that Grindelwald still had a friendship with the unsuccessful Academy of Fine Arts Vienna student.

I have to say. This is a fantastic move.

Both are emerging forces in their respective worlds, and both are trying to challenge the order and have a natural side.

And that one also pays great attention to blood theory, which coincides with many of Grindelwald's ideas.

Many things make sense in thinking that Grindelwald also made his fortune in Germany.

"Great idea. Why did you stop him at the end?"

"Because I represent another group of people who don't want future wizards to live in endless struggles."

"That's how the Ministry of Magic in most countries is thinking. We don't need higher status. We just need stability."

Alvin sneered when he heard it.

"I have to say, you and Fudge are really similar, and both like to use evasion to solve problems."

The words were very sharp, but Dumbledore was not only not angry but nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Grindelwald said it back then. He said I was a great escaper."

"I never shy away from this, but..."

Ultimately, Dumbledore's waist became straight, and his majestic momentum rushed out of his body.

The objects in the room swayed, and even the portraits pretending to be asleep opened their eyes and looked at them worriedly.

Alvin frowned slightly, his fingers tapped on the armrest, and all the movement disappeared.

Strangely, those water droplets floating in the air are about to fall to the ground.

Like being cast a Freezing Charm, floating in mid-air, motionless.

Dumbledore didn't care about this. He stood up, looked directly at Alvin, and said word by word.

"It's not just the problem that I'm running away from, but the entire wizarding world."

"Ego defeated Grindelwald, and magic has entered a new realm."

"But I also realized a problem. No one in this world can restrain me."

Alvin was unmoved but sneered instead.

"Then why don't you kill Voldemort? Don't tell me that Voldemort was so strong back then."

Dumbledore shook his head. "Tom was never my attention before, and of course, there was also a problem with my misjudgment."

"I only thought that he made one or two Horcruxes at the time, but I didn't expect to be such madness."

"So, I've been suppressing my desire to shoot."

Alvin is a little confused. Should he be restrained when he shoots?

"The most dangerous person in this world has never been Grindelwald, not Voldemort, but me."

Speaking slowly, Dumbledore seemed to be stating a basic fact.

The expression on Alvin's face faded away.

"How dangerous can a powerful and uncontrolled wizard be? I have more magic than Grindelwald and better brains than Tom."

"Once I can't restrain myself, it's a catastrophe for the wizarding world."

"I have the fame, I have the strength, and I have a lot of supporters."

"But I must let them down because it's for everyone's sake."

Dumbledore's voice became erratic, and he stroked his wand.

Since following him, this wand hasn't shot for too long.

It was the last time I had a little fun with Grindelwald.

The world is less and less bound to him, his relatives have passed away, and his lover has turned against him.

For a hundred years, the pain in Dumbledore's heart has never been felt by anyone.

Perhaps the only place where he could find solace was the Mirror of Erised on that side.

Therefore, his character will inevitably have a dark side.

But it has always been forcibly suppressed by Dumbledore with strong personal restraint.

He chose to trap himself in Hogwarts, a small school of magic.

The half-moon spectacles gleamed like never before, and Dumbledore continued.

"Gaunt, your magical talent is even better than mine, and your vision is very comparable."

"I believe that your achievements will definitely reach an unprecedented high toxicity.

"Once, I mistakenly thought that you had a friendship, love, and these that could put a layer of shackles on you."

"But in the end, you let me down."

"You can yearn for rights. You can have desires."

"But you can't touch that red line and make Muggles wizards. You're declaring war on both worlds!"

Alvin's pupils shrink!

He knew the worst had happened.
