Chapter 1805: A War with No Victors (Part 255)
Chapter 1805: A War with No Victors (Part 255)
"The efficiency of these killings... Even Death Eaters would be ashamed to witness such a display!" Albert exclaimed as he crossed off names from the revenge list, marveling at the terrifying power of hatred. After all, Nelsen and his group were just ordinary witches and wizards, lacking the formidable strength that Albert possessed. Yet, in their quest for 'cleaning up' the Death Eaters, they had achieved far more than he had.
One could only imagine the extensive preparations and efforts Nelsen and his group had put into this night's revenge operation, and they might have even resorted to extreme measures during the 'cleaning up' process.
As for Nelsen, who was consumed by hatred, would he casually strike names off the revenge list without thorough verification?
Albert deemed this highly unlikely. A person willing to risk their life for revenge would not engage in such careless actions.
Otherwise, what would be the point of risking their life?
Sighing, Albert realized he had underestimated the power of hatred.
If only he had secretly swapped Nelsen's revenge list when they first met.
But it was too late for regrets! Perhaps I should also speed up my progress a little! Although rushing might cause me to overlook some of the Pure-Bloods' hidden wealth, since I've already gotten involved, I should take this rare opportunity to thoroughly eliminate all the troublesome individuals.
This meant a night of merciless killing, and many deeply guilty Pure-Bloods would meet their end. But what did it matter to Albert, who was traveling around the world on the other side of the Earth?
If the death toll of Pure-Bloods caused turmoil in the British Magical World, so be it. The Ministry of Magic could deal with the aftermath; after all, this was the outcome Kingsley desired.
Those on the kill list were either Death Eaters or Pure-Blood families who had colluded with Voldemort during the Second Wizarding War. Otherwise, why would Nelsen take the time to seek revenge on them? And if they hadn't been indiscriminately killing, there must be evidence to justify their actions.
Both Albert and Kingsley had used Nelsen and his group to solidify the charges of collusion with Voldemort against those on the list.
This was not slander.
Indeed, during Voldemort's control of the Ministry, numerous Pure-Bloods had chosen to support him, including several old members of the Wizengamot.
Most of these actions were kept under wraps, so many were unaware of the extent of the collaboration.
However, every action leaves a trace!
Moreover, the Pure-Blood wizarding families already held immense power and influence in the British Magical World, with intricate and complex relationships. No one dared to openly seek retribution against them.
But this time, their luck had run out as they encountered Albert, a formidable opponent.
Not only was he powerful, but he also had the upper hand, refusing to tolerate their hypocritical rhetoric. He taught them the meaning of a White Wizard's just and powerful fist.
To ensure he didn't mistakenly kill the wrong person, Albert utilized Legilimency and Veritaserum to uncover their misdeeds before deciding their fate.
However, wealthy Pure-Bloods rarely needed to be concerned about being wrongly executed.
It was simply a matter of karma!
Especially in this magical era, might makes right.
In the past, they held the advantage, so no one could challenge them. But now, Albert's might surpassed theirs, and it was their turn to face misfortune.
As for the others? It didn't seem to matter much; after all, the victims were already annihilated, and no one would protest.
Nelson was more than willing to take the fall for tonight's deaths, especially if they were all Voldemort's remnants. With the perpetrators dead, there'd be no mess to clean up.
The British magical community wouldn't genuinely care about the disappearance of a few ancient pure-blood families. They'd only applaud the fact that Voldemort and the Death Eaters' accomplices finally got their comeuppance.
No one would truly care about the complex feelings of the pure-blood community either; after all, the dead couldn't hold grudges.
Moreover, the surnames wouldn't disappear; at most, the main lineage would be wiped out.
Most pure-blood families had some side branches; it was rare for a family to have only a single heir, like the Malfoys.
Speaking of the Malfoys, it seemed Draco Malfoy had killed his entire family, and now he was locked up in Azkaban Prison.
Albert's expression turned peculiar as he knew Nelson's ultimate plan was to take over Azkaban. It wasn't just about seeking revenge on Umbridge; he intended to thoroughly purge the evil prison and make those vile inmates pay with their lives.
Kingsley had even cleared out the prison beforehand, leaving only the most vicious criminals behind.
Even if they all died, no, they deserved to die.
This was one of the deals between Kingsley and Nelson.
The last Malfoy would likely meet his end in prison, buried alongside Nelson.
Oh, wait, Malfoy seemed to have married, and his wife wasn't from the novel's story. Albert recalled that Malfoy's wife was named... Pansy Parkinson.
Parkinson? Albert's expression turned peculiar again. As far as he knew, the Parkinson family was also on the revenge list.
After collecting the ancient books, Albert took another look at the family he had subdued.
With the entire family setting off together, they wouldn't be lonely.
He raised his magic wand, waved it lightly at the empty bookshelf, and black flames burst from the tip, igniting the bookshelf and rapidly spreading to the surroundings.
Gazing at the raging fire that engulfed the entire manor, Albert muttered, "Good thing I got out of there!"
With that, Albert turned and left, leaving behind a sea of flames. Ironically, this act would contribute to maintaining peace in the British magical community!
The Second Wizarding War had proven that Voldemort's remnants were unstable factors. Even after Voldemort's demise, these despicable individuals remained steadfast in their evil ways.
Let them face their comeuppance! Albert thought, acknowledging that he wasn't exactly a saint himself.
Glancing at the recently looted wealth in his pocket, Albert's gaze fell on a particular surname on the list.
So, had he inadvertently settled the score with the Malfoy family?
Albert's expression was peculiar as he knew that Nelson's intrusion into Azkaban wasn't solely about targeting Umbridge. Nelson had also made a deal with Kingsley to wipe out the vicious inmates.
The Ministry of Magic couldn't do such a thing, but Nelson's decision to take the vicious prisoners with him fit his style.
