Chapter 42: Kyle Won An Oscar-Winning Actor-Level Acting!(EDITED)

[Ding! Sympathetic emotion detected!]

[Ding! Extracting treasure chest for host!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one golden treasure chest!]

...

Huh?

Sympathy counts as an emotion too?

Then what are we waiting for?

Upon hearing the prompt sound from the system in his mind, Kyle immediately acted.

He put on a fake smile, combining a cheerful expression with a strong sense of sorrow.

He could definitely be said to be possessed by an Oscar-winning actor.

"It's nothing, really. I've been living alone here since I was six years old."

"Being an orphan, I had nowhere else to go."

"Actually, Knockturn Alley isn't that bad. It's not as terrible as it seems on the surface."

"As long as you're careful, avoid going to deserted places, stay indoors most of the time, and don't sleep too deeply..."

"I've been captured by dark wizards more than thirty times before, all wanting to sell me as experimental material for magic."

"But I always managed to cleverly escape in the end."

"Speaking of which, on my eighth birthday, I made a cake out of mud for myself and made a wish."

"You'll never guess what wish I made. I can't help but laugh now. I wished to have a peaceful night's sleep one day."

Kyle gradually got into character.

Dumbledore was left dumbfounded by Kyle's words...

This mischievous child...

According to the information collected by old Dumbledore.

Since Kyle made a name for himself in Knockturn Alley, some people here have indeed not able to sleep well.

But those are other dark wizards in Knockturn Alley!

...

Cassandra didn't know about Kyle's glorious past and trembled at his words.

She couldn't imagine while enjoying her comfortable conditions.

Even when she found the desserts made by the house elf not tasty enough.

There were people who were afraid to even sleep deeply.

The biggest wish on their birthday was simply to have a good night's sleep.

"If possible, maybe my father could adopt you!"

"Don't get me wrong, I just can't stand by and watch. It's not out of boring sympathy."

Cassandra turned her head away.

Not wanting Kyle to see her eyes turning red.

...

"Hehehe... Look, two little wizards, and an old man..."

Just then, a middle-aged dark wizard approached.

Dark wizards in Knockturn Alley sound terrifying, but in reality, they are just the lowest of the low in the wizarding world.

A considerable proportion of them have never even attended a wizarding school.

They were simply discovered to have magical talent by other dark wizards, then abducted.

After enduring various cruel experiments, if they survived, they would be taken on as apprentices.

Many of them only knew a few rudimentary spells.

Let alone recognizing Dumbledore.

"Today's really lucky, two lost dark wizards in Knockturn Alley; we might get a good price from them."

The dark wizard smirked at Kyle and Cassandra.

But as he got closer, he felt something was off about Kyle's figure.

So familiar, like he had seen it somewhere.

As he thought about it, suddenly, his face turned pale with terror,

"Thud," he knelt down, his soul almost scared out of him.

"K-Kyle... No, Lord Mephisto!"

"Oh, Merlin's beard, I didn't know it was you!"

"Have mercy!"

Kyle's reputation in Knockturn Alley wasn't just talk.

It was earned through real bloodshed.

This place is one of the largest gatherings of dark wizards in Europe, but even so.

Almost everyone in Knockturn Alley had been changed by Kyle's actions.

No one dared to defy Kyle's will here; not even Borgin and Burkes would dare to provoke Kyle.

"Uh, would you believe me if I said he mistook me for someone else?"

Kyle innocently looked at Cassandra, who was now furious after realizing she had been deceived.

Coincidentally, the commotion here also attracted the attention of other passing dark wizards in Knockturn Alley.

"Oh, it's Lord Mephisto!"

"Oh, Merlin's beard, how did he come back?"

"Oh no, someone else has fallen into his hands again, what a poor soul."

"How many do you think Lord Mephisto will kill this time?"

A discussion broke out.

Cassandra: "!!!!"
