Chapter 207: The Fish Has Bitten the Hook (First Update)

"Did you get it, did you?"

At this moment, a stall owner beside the sinister one asked with a face full of envy and curiosity.

"No, no, the kid left the tent not long ago and Apparated away. We couldn't catch up!"

The sinister stall owner, recalling Jerry's instructions, quickly waved his hands.

The other stall owner clearly didn't believe it:

"If you got it, you got it. No need to hide it. We're not fools. If it weren't for the rules, I would have been the one to take that fat score. The kid had at least a few thousand Galleons in his pocket!"

The rules in the Black Market state that no one can make a move inside the tent. If you want to act, you have to do it outside.

Additionally, whoever goes out first, the others can't try to snatch the prize.

However, this was just an agreement among the stall owners. The Dark Witches who came to buy things were not bound by these rules. If they encountered an opportunity, they could act on their own.

The sinister stall owner didn't bother to explain further, only saying that he needed to rest at home for a few days and wouldn't be setting up his stall for a while.

In reality, he couldn't set up his stall anymore. The Galleons in his pocket and the smuggled Fantastic Beasts had all been taken by the young Witch.

Meanwhile, Jerry rode his Thestral back to French Magic Street.

The task he gave to the four Dark Witches was simple: don't admit to having met him when they return, as he hadn't gathered enough money today and planned to make another score.

However, he couldn't guarantee that the four Dark Witches would follow his instructions once they returned.

But what did he have to lose?

At worst, the Dark Witches in the Black Market would know that he was skilled. The bolder ones might continue to fall for his trap. His goal was to prolong this situation for a few more days.

What if the four Dark Witches told the people behind the Black Market about him?

That would depend on what those people decided. If they pretended not to notice, it would be fine. If they planned to deal with Jerry, he would be delighted.

Because that would mean a large sum of Galleons would be coming his way.

The next night, Jerry returned to the forest where the Black Market tents were located.

This time, he released twelve robot soldiers in advance and cast a Disguise Charm on them.

The twelve robot soldiers had undergone changes since their last battle with Morgana. In addition to their large wings, their right arms, which previously had electrifying devices, were now all equipped with sharp, large swords.

Before leaving, Jerry had asked Balthazar to use Mimicry Magic to make the modifications.

Dave also helped a bit. He ensured that the robot's right arms retained their shocking capabilities while being transformed by magic.

Thus, these robot soldiers' right arms, in battle, were not only sharp but also electrified.

"Go, take to the air, and await my command!"

Although Jerry felt that with his current overall strength, flattening the Black Market wouldn't be too difficult.

But if there were Witches in the Black Market who could match or even surpass him, the twelve invisible robot soldiers in the sky could provide significant assistance.

If a Witch's body was caught off guard and hit by the robot soldiers' machine guns and shells before they could cast a defensive spell, they wouldn't have an easy time.

However, if it came to a direct confrontation and the Witch had already cast defensive spells, the robot soldiers would have a much lower chance of winning in equal numbers.

Pulling back the curtain of the Black Market tent, Jerry once again displayed his innocent smile and walked in with a bag of Galleons.

The moment Jerry appeared, several witches selling at stalls instantly lit up with excitement.

It turned out that their colleague from yesterday hadn't been lying; they really hadn't caught this little fat lamb.

"Is the Anti-Apparition Charm set up? That boy is about to come out!"

Not far from the Black Market tent, a Dark Witch asked three other Dark Witches.

"It's ready. As long as we lure that boy over, he won't be able to escape. But, is that boy really that rich, worth both our groups working together against him?"

One of the Dark Witches wore a puzzled expression.

After all, it was just a teenager. They could handle it themselves, so why team up with another group and split the profits?

The first Dark Witch laughed.

"Don't worry, that boy is definitely rich. He just spent ten thousand Galleons on a house-elf without batting an eye. We estimate that his bag contains at least several tens of thousands of Galleons!"

"So much! Splitting it in half will hurt even more."

Another Dark Witch also looked pained.

If the boy only had ten thousand Galleons, splitting it would mean five thousand. But if he had fifty thousand Galleons, that would mean twenty-five thousand going to the other group.

The first Dark Witch was speechless but still explained:

"Don't underestimate that boy. Bringing so many Galleons to the Black Market means he's not as simple as he seems. And both Art and I felt that Benny was acting suspicious yesterday.

So, as soon as that boy steps into the range of the Anti-Apparition Charm, don't hesitate—kill him immediately!"

Art was the other stall owner he was working with, and Benny was the stall owner who claimed he couldn't catch the teenager yesterday. He was the stall owner right next to Benny, and it was he who had approached Benny to gather information.

"Yes, boss, they seem to be coming out!"

The other three Dark Witches responded in unison. Upon seeing the teenager emerge from the tent, they scattered to hide.

"Young master, our base is just ahead. We have an extremely rare dragon egg!"

At the tent entrance, a slender Dark Witch smiled broadly, leading Jerry in the direction where the Anti-Apparition Charm was set up. Two underlings followed behind him.

"Really? Then let's hurry. If there's really a dragon egg, I'm willing to pay fifty thousand Galleons!"

Jerry urged, his face full of anticipation.

(Come on, guys, I can't wait to plunder your wealth.)

This time, when Jerry entered the Black Market tent, he didn't just look around like he did yesterday. That would have seemed too fake.

So, he used the money he had stolen yesterday along with his own savings to buy a house-elf.

During the purchase, he acted extremely casual, as if spending ten thousand Galleons was no big deal, making him look like a super-rich target.

Sure enough, as soon as he put the house-elf into his box space, a Dark Witch approached him, asking if he was interested in a dragon egg.

If he was interested, the Dark Witch could take him to a secret base to buy it.

Hearing this, Jerry was delighted, showing great interest, and happily left the Black Market tent with the Dark Witch and his two underlings.

"The fish has taken the bait; it's time to reel it in!"

The four ambushing Dark Witches and the three Dark Witches who brought Jerry over all thought the same thing when they saw him step into the range of the Anti-Apparition Charm.

And at that moment, Jerry's thoughts were exactly the same!
