Chapter 191: Hands and Meeting, Lockhart’s Murderous Intention

Hell's Kitchen at night.

In Hell's Kitchen, known as the New York slums, various buildings are piled up haphazardly, and it is now very chaotic.

Except for the smooth surface of the avenue, the general trails are basically full of potholes, with some sewage, stains, and even a foul smell appearing from time to time.

Some of the streetlights beside the street were either on and off, or there was no light at all. As for the ones that were intact, there were none.

It is night now, and in a slightly dim alley illuminated by streetlights.

Suddenly, a sparkling portal opened.

The bright and dim lights mixed with red flames made the alley environment a bit strange.

Immediately afterwards, as several figures walked out of the portal, a bright ball of light brought light back to the entire alley.

It was Lockhart and his students Ian, Remy, and Vera.

After taking a brief look at the surrounding environment, Lockhart waved his wand, and a shielding spell covered the surrounding area to prevent anyone from straying into the alley.

Then, he turned around and looked at the three of them. Lockhart saw the expressions of excitement, anticipation, and eagerness on their faces. Without saying a word, Lockhart looked at the three of them seriously.

Soon, under the solemn gaze of Lockhart, the excitement on the three people's faces gradually faded away, and their faces showed a bit of confusion.

Seeing the changes in the three people's expressions, Lockhart did not explain anything, but said seriously, "This is your first actual combat. Although I am accompanying you, I hope you will pay great attention to it."

"Your training before was nothing more than casting spells on each other, like students at Hogwarts, where one would make a move, and then the other."

"That kind of training can only make you more familiar with the release of magic spells, and it will not help in real combat. Now, the three of you attack me together."

After hearing what their teacher said, the three nodded to express their understanding.

Looking at their mentor, the three of them had just raised their wands when suddenly:

"Expelliarmus!"

In an instant, three Expelliarmus spells glowing red hit the wands in the hands of the three people.

Before Ian and the others could react, they found that all their wands had flown into the hands of their mentor.

The three of them felt a little aggrieved and looked at Lockhart with resentment in their eyes.

Lockhart ignored the resentful looks of the three and said in a serious tone, "This is the first practical lesson I give you. It is also the core point of actual combat: seizing the opportunity."

After hearing what the instructor said, the three people had different expressions. Ian was deep in thought, Remy was a little unconvinced, and Vera seemed to not understand but still nodded.

"In a battle, unless you have overwhelming power, if you want to defeat the opponent, you must establish your own advantages and let the opponent gradually fall into your rhythm instead of being caught up in theirs."

"You must remember this. Even if you don't understand it now, after you remember it and after many battles, you will gradually understand," Lockhart emphasized.

"Understood, mentor," the three of them nodded in unison, keeping what the teacher said in mind.

Seeing this, Lockhart nodded slightly and said, "Today, I will only train you in one thing, and that is to seize the opportunity."

Then, Lockhart closed his eyes slightly, sensing what was happening nearby.

Soon, the three of them saw their mentor open his eyes and extend his wand. Drawing a circle casually, a portal emerged quietly, and on the other side was a dark alley.

"Let's go," Lockhart said as he casually cast a spell on everyone and stepped through the portal, with the three of them following closely behind.

Hell's Kitchen, The Hand, The Drug Manufacturing Base.

Deep in an abandoned factory, a large number of deaf-mute people wearing tattered clothes stood in front of long slender tables.

The light bulbs above emitted pale light one after another, adding a touch of weirdness to the already pale complexions of the large number of deaf-mute people working below.

Each of them had a stiff expression, as if they were zombies, lifeless, mechanically packing the white powder in their hands, and then placing it on the track above the long table.

Throughout the factory, in addition to deaf-mute people wearing ragged clothes, there were also white gangster guards holding guns in their hands and wearing colorful shirts, wandering around on patrol.

However, these people's hands and feet were not clean. Sometimes they even touched or rubbed the chest of a deaf-mute woman passing by. None of these people dared to resist and could only tremble.

At this moment, Lockhart, who was already invisible, was watching this scene with his three students.

Ian, Remy, and Vera's eyes were filled with anger, and they wanted to go down directly and kill all the guards and drug dealers holding guns.

Although they were Squibs before and had been discriminated against, they had not yet fully come into contact with the dark side of the world. The scene before them suddenly allowed them to see the darkest side.

The ruthlessness and cruelty of this group of drug dealers exceeded their imagination, especially after they learned that these people were all normal before and were deliberately made blind and mute. Their anger surged.

Anyone who still has a conscience can't help but feel anger in their heart. And they were upright young people with strong blood and mastery of magic. It can be said that they were equipped with sharp weapons and had murderous intentions.

At this moment, Lockhart's expression was cold, but he couldn't help the murderous intent in his eyes. In his previous life, he hated drugs deeply. He had seen their harm with his own eyes. Therefore, when he sensed this scene, he immediately decided to kill this group of bastards, letting the students see blood, and at the same time, it was also a way to eliminate evil.

"Ian, Remy, and Vera, target this group of drug dealers. You can discuss how to minimize the damage to the deaf-mute people around and eliminate all the drug dealers."

"In 5 minutes, tell me the plan you discussed. Remember what I just told you: seize the opportunity," Lockhart said, looking at the three people with angry eyes.

Then, he reminded them, "I know you are angry now, but no matter how angry you are, calm down."

"If you couldn't calm down and acted like reckless children, no one can be rescued, and I would have to get involved."

"If you do something like this, don't call me your teacher in the future."

The instructor's words forced the three of them to suppress their anger and discuss their plan together.

5 minutes passed quickly.

Ian walked up to him and said in a deep voice, "Mentor, our plan is..."
