093 Daily Life (Part-2)

"Golden Viper!"

Bryan's junior, Nymphadora Tonks, suddenly changed her face. Her spirited eyebrows trembled incessantly, and she stared at the night sky where there was nothing but a bright moon. She gasped urgently,

"Is he the dark wizard who killed a bunch of werewolves in the underground world, and even almost killed Greyback?"

Floating in mid-air, Golden Viper almost twisted his nose with anger. His silver mask glinted in the moonlight, hiding his true identity. If it weren't for the contract he signed when he accepted the commission, which stipulated that all the members of their temporary team were not allowed to attack each other, he might have given Thanatos a hard blow.

'This idiot, is he afraid that I won't be noticed by the Ministry of Magic?'

"Shut up, idiot!"

A shadow flashed by, and Golden Viper descended from the air like a hunting falcon. He shouted at Thanatos who was still screaming for help, and then his cold eyes swept over the Aurors opposite him. He only stayed on Tonks's face for a very short moment, and a smile that no one noticed flashed across his face behind the twisted magic vortex.

Bryan was two grades higher than Tonks. This cheerful girl was very popular among boys when she was in school, because she was a natural Metamorphmagus who could easily change her appearance. This kind of fun… ahem, this kind of talent was very rare and interesting!

In fact, she especially liked to imitate the faces of professors when she was in school. Because of this, she was locked up by several professors including Snape. Bryan had 'coexisted' with her for a period of time in the second semester of the fifth grade. The two were not friends, but they were acquaintances.

However, since Bryan graduated from school, he has never had any contact with any of the Hogwarts students.

Including Scrimgeour, those who were swept by Golden Viper's eyes felt like they were poured a bucket of cold water on their heads. The chill went from outside to inside, reaching their souls. Most of the Aurors present were experienced veterans who had gone through countless life-and-death situations. They had a much better intuition for danger than ordinary wizards. They could feel that the mysterious wizard in front of them was stronger than all those scum they had just defeated combined!

"I can't breathe."

Tonks looked shocked, her forehead sweaty, she secretly patted her chest and whispered, "Quickly go to Hogwarts and ask Albus Dumbledore!"

"Shut up, Tonks!"

'Strong-willed' Scrimgeour glared at Tonks fiercely. He responded to Bryan's calm gaze with a tough look, but his mind was stormy. He had to admit that he was a bit too big this time. He didn't expect that there would be such a dangerous guy among these smugglers!

"Can you please pretend that you haven't met us tonight?"

A voice full of vicissitudes and hoarseness came from behind the twisted vortex. It sounded polite, but anyone knew that this tone was disguised by magic.

There are many Aurors present, but only one has the right to make decisions. Rufus knew that Golden Viper's words were addressed to him, and he also knew very well that if he gave a negative answer, then next, this dark wizard who had fought against those brutal werewolves several times and suppressed Greyback and dozens of werewolves led by him head-on, and almost killed them all would probably not continue to ask politely.

The underground world of Knockturn Alley was a very headache-inducing existence for every generation of the Ministry of Magic.

On the one hand, most of the wizards who operated there were faction wizards. Although Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had been the main place for wizarding education for hundreds of years, these faction wizards had a longer history that could be traced back to before Merlin.

Wizards revered tradition. If the Ministry of Magic decided to strangle the dark and mysterious underground world's wizards, they would probably get very limited support. In addition, many of the existing Sacred Twenty-Eight families had connections with some of the forces in the underground world. They would also bring considerable resistance.

There is also a very important point. Although for so many years, the Magical Law Enforcement Department has been secretly collecting information on active wizards in the underground world and has indeed dealt with some 'small characters', but for some powerful guys, the Ministry of Magic has always had no good way.

For example, Greyback committed countless heinous crimes that were too numerous to list, but for so many years, the Ministry of Magic had never been able to catch him, let alone the one in front of them who almost "annihilated" the werewolves - Golden Viper!

"The Ministry of Magic will not bow to evil."

Scrimgeour's face was cold and stern. His sharp yellow eyes glowed with a hint of red. He lifted his wand defiantly and said coldly,

"Leave this–"

Kingsley discreetly pulled Tonks's robe and said quietly, "Go to the Ministry for backup, or as you said, go to Hogwarts and ask Albus Dumbledore for help. Move as fast as you can, Tonks. We can't guarantee how long we can hold on–"

Before Tonks could reply, Golden Viper's voice that sounded like gravel scraping against metal had already passed.

"Then I can only say sorry, everyone–"

"Attack!" Scrimgeour suddenly roared, and in an instant, the dazzling curse light bursting from the tips of the Aurors' wands like sparks illuminated the night with a clear sky.

A silver slash sliced through the tense air, which easily suppressed the colorful curse light with its fleeting and bleak brilliance. The sharp buzzing that could pierce the eardrum made the space shudder as if an earthquake had struck!

The battle ended very quickly, or even in an instant.

Thanatos looked at a group of brave and skilled Aurors who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, bleeding from their ears and noses with a metallic taste in their mouths, and quietly opened his mouth.

Bryan walked towards a group of Aurors, and the spinning wand tip sprayed out strands of shiny silver mist. These silver mists between reality and illusion floated to those Aurors and entered their brains from their temples.

"What are you doing, Golden Viper? I think we'd better not kill them. That would bring us a lot of trouble."

"I'm dealing with the trouble you idiot brought me!"

Golden Viper, who was carefully doing something, turned his head and glared at Thanatos coldly.

Thanatos seemed to want to defend himself, but considering Golden Viper's strength, Thanatos didn't say anything. He shrank his neck in fear and looked down at the ground scattered with a large area of bone dragon bone ash. His distressed face was twitching and he muttered curses under his breath.

The rest of his companions were soon awakened. With Thanatos's explanation, they all understood who saved them from going to prison.

"Everyone needs to pay me 20% of the commission income as a reward, and you, Thanatos, you need to pay 50%."

Golden Viper's words in a calm tone caused great dissatisfaction among his companions. They complained bitterly against Golden Viper's 'unreasonable' demand. Only Thanatos didn't say anything. It's not that he was a person who kept his promises, but he witnessed Golden Viper's neatly defeating a group of Aurors. He thought it would be better not to provoke this dangerous guy anymore.

"Even if we don't give it, you can't do anything to us. Golden Viper, you can't attack us. This is a violation of the contract!"

In the angry crowd, a clever guy yelled angrily, and his words also reminded others,

"No one begged you to save us. Golden Viper, you are totally self-righteous!"

Another person sneered. For this scene, Golden Viper was not surprised. He was not naive enough to expect that this group of people with no bottom line would be grateful to him.

"I can't attack you indeed–"

Golden Viper cast a shimmering magic shield that glowed with blinding white light and enclosed everyone inside like a cage, while he stood outside the shield, smirking. With a scornful, twisted smile, Golden Viper said in a low, menacing voice,

"But I can wake up these Aurors from their slumber. I think they will be delighted to see you surrender voluntarily."
