Chapter 109: This Book Taught Me Wrong

Just a bit special?

Aisia felt that Ivan might have a misunderstanding about the word "a bit."

After a brief exchange of glances, Ivan keenly noticed that Aisia's expression was becoming increasingly off. He quickly turned to Douglas and changed the subject.

"Dean Dugard, have you reached an agreement with the people from the Wizard Market?"

Aisia glared at Ivan fiercely before also turning to Douglas.

"Pretty much. We managed to beat them into submission this time. Of course, I had to compensate with some Galleons so that the Wizard Market wouldn't lose face completely."

At this point, a hint of pride appeared on Douglas's face. He had gained a significant reputation in Knockturn Alley, and he doubted many would dare to provoke him in the future.

"Are you sure?" Aisia furrowed her brow. Those Pure-blood Wizarding Families usually valued their reputation above all else.

"I am, after all, a member of the Bohan Family. They still have to consider my standing to some extent." Douglas sighed.

"Didn't you tell me that you were already disowned by the Bohan Family?" Aisia asked.

"But not many people know that, right?" Douglas gave a self-deprecating smile. He hadn't expected that he would still need to rely on his family's reputation after being disowned.

The Bohan Family? Which Bohan Family?

Ivan recalled his memories, and it seemed that none of the prominent families were called Bohan.

By chance, Ivan remembered seeing a related name in the Book of Notable Figures in Modern Times at Hogwarts.

Mungo Bohan, the founder of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries!

Ivan finally understood. No wonder Douglas could become the deputy Dean of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries by his thirties. Besides his outstanding abilities, it was likely due to his being a member of the Bohan Family.

Although this family wasn't well-known in the wizarding world and had few members, they were not included in the list of the twenty-eight pureblood families.

However, since the members of the Bohan Family had served in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for generations, their underlying influence was immense. Not to mention, the current Dean was also a member of the Bohan Family.

"So, the matter is resolved now." Thinking about this, Ivan felt relieved.

"It should be, at least on the surface, they won't oppose us anymore." Douglas nodded, then hesitated.

"But I'm not sure if the purebloods will try to trip us up behind the scenes. Especially since the Ministry of Magic is starting a thorough investigation into the proliferation of Dark Magic Items. They might use this as a pretext."

"You're worried they'll pressure the Ministry of Magic to investigate Knockturn Alley and come after me?" Aisia asked, furrowing her brow.

"Exactly. Many people in Knockturn Alley know about our good relationship. My place is just an old house, so there's nothing much they can target. But your place is different, so I'm a bit concerned." Douglas sighed, which was why he had come today.

"Can the Ministry of Magic really reach here?" Ivan asked in surprise.

"Technically, Knockturn Alley is within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic. It's just too chaotic here, and there's not much to gain, so the Ministry of Magic has always taken a laissez-faire approach."

After answering Ivan's question, Douglas turned to Aisia.

"Even though it's just a possibility, we can't be too careful. For the time being, you might need to take down the Dark Magic Items in your shop or temporarily close it.

I'll use my connections to gather intelligence. Once the Ministry of Magic's operation is over, you can resume business as usual."

As he spoke, Douglas apologetically unhooked a bag from his waist and tossed it over.

"Inside there are a thousand Galleons, which should be enough for you to use for a while."

"No need, just remember to drink less next time!" Aisia shook her head, took the bag, and then threw it back.

Aisia was well aware that for the alcohol and gambling-loving Douglas, these thousand Galleons were probably all his savings.

After trying to persuade for a while, Douglas still couldn't leave the bag behind and had to leave with a sigh. Since he had caused trouble, he still had to deal with the aftermath.

For a moment, the Dark Magic Shop was left with only Ivan and Aisia.

Ivan had a stern look on his face, still thinking about the bad news Douglas had brought.

The business at the shop had already been terrible due to the Ministry of Magic inspections, and now this would likely mean no customers for a while.

As he was thinking, Ivan suddenly felt a chill and looked up to see Aisia staring at him.

"Can you explain what's really going on now?" Aisia's face was filled with anger, and she seemed ready to scold him, but in the end, it all turned into a sigh.

Ivan remained silent for a moment, thinking about the Crescent Pendant Aisia had given him and reflecting on whether he had been too guarded with her.

He was just pretending to be the person from his memories, with a slight sense of guilt.

After all, when he first came over, his biggest worry was that his Dark Wizard mother would discover he was an imposter.

Taking the risk to perform a dangerous bloodline fusion ritual was to ensure that, in the worst-case scenario, he could save his life from the enraged Aisia.

However, Aisia's trust and concern for him had touched him somewhat. After careful consideration, he felt he should return some of that trust and said,

"Mom, I didn't mean to hide anything from you; I just didn't want you to worry."

"《Origin of Bloodlines》, come!" Ivan turned around and waved his Wand.

In the small room upstairs, the luggage crate in the corner suddenly trembled, and a thick book flew out, spinning as it made its way into Ivan's hands.

"What's this book?" Aisia didn't understand why Ivan had suddenly brought out a book, but when she took a closer look, she saw it was an old book with slightly yellowed pages, clearly from a long time ago.

"I found this book in the Restricted Section. I gained a lot of magical powers from it, so I kept it with me and never returned it", Ivan opened the book and handed it to Aisia.

Aisia took it curiously and flipped through a few pages, her expression becoming more serious.

The book contained a lot of content that contradicted her previous knowledge, especially about the origins of Werewolves, Vampires, and other deformed creatures, as well as the methods Ancient Wizards used to steal the powers of other Magical Creatures.

If this were to spread, the entire magical world would be in an uproar.
