Chapter 829: I Will Definitely Win!
Chapter 829: I Will Definitely Win!
"That Phoenix blocked my spell, and Albus Dumbledore didn't give me another chance to act. He reminded me that I had more important things to do..." Asia gazed at Ivan, lost in thought.
After suddenly learning of Orlando's death, she had lost all hope. If it weren't for the child who was yet to be born, she might have already lost her will to live.
Ivan averted his gaze, avoiding Asia's eyes, feeling a twinge of guilt.
He could sense how much Asia cherished their only child, almost as if it was the sole reason she continued to live. And yet, he had taken over her body...
Ivan sighed inwardly, but his resolve quickly hardened.
Being reborn in this world was not something he could control or change.
Given that, he had only one option: to live on as Ivan Hals and take care of Asia.
Her enemies were now his enemies!
"Who was the Death Eater that killed my father?" Ivan asked.
"That person was dealt with by me fifteen years ago..." Asia replied coldly.
She had learned from Dumbledore about the cause of Orlando's death and who was responsible. Her desire for revenge wouldn't allow her to wait for over a decade.
However, at that time, Voldemort's power was at its peak, and she was also pregnant. Asia had to bide her time and wait for the right moment.
Fortunately, things soon took a turn for the better. Not long after Ivan was born, the immensely powerful Dark Lord suddenly fell!
The once-arrogant Death Eaters were either captured or fled, many of them hiding in Knockturn Alley, living in constant fear.
The Wizard who killed Orlando was one of the lucky ones who evaded the Aurors.
But in a way, he might have preferred being locked away in Azkaban rather than losing his life.
"His strength wasn't weak, and he was always with two companions. It took me several days to devise a plan to kill him. I met Dawgert while searching for his whereabouts, and after some events, I decided to stay in Knockturn Alley..." Asia explained slowly.
Ivan nodded. He had always wondered why an Alchemist like Asia would stay in a place like Knockturn Alley, but now it made sense.
"So, the only ones left to deal with are Dumbledore and Voldemort..." Ivan murmured, realizing this was probably why Asia had been reluctant to discuss Orlando with him.
The Death Eater who killed Orlando had already been sent to hell, leaving only two powerful Wizards with any indirect connection to the incident.
Voldemort, the instigator of the war, was responsible for the actions of the Death Eaters, and he certainly bore responsibility for Orlando's death.
Dumbledore's situation was more complex. His misjudgment had led him to suspect Asia of being a traitor, interfering with her and Orlando's meeting.
While Ivan understood that Asia's behavior at the time was indeed suspicious, it was ultimately Dumbledore's misjudgment that led to the tragic outcome. If not for that, the Crescent Pendant might have saved Orlando's life.
Additionally, Dumbledore's repeated refusal to accept the position of Minister of Magic puzzled Ivan greatly.
Before Harry's birth, Dumbledore was the Wizarding World's only hope of defeating Voldemort, and having him lead the resistance was almost the best plan possible!
Ivan couldn't figure it out, but he knew this wasn't the time to dwell on it. Regardless of the truth, whether Dumbledore had his reasons or not, their battle was inevitable.
With this in mind, Ivan spoke up. "I'll have Pierce send more people to investigate Voldemort's whereabouts and drag him out of hiding. It might take some time, though."
"Until then, I'll focus on dealing with Dumbledore..."
Just as Ivan was speaking, Asia tightly gripped his arm, interrupting him. Her expression was complicated as she said, "No, forget it... All of this is in the past, you don't need to take any more risks."
"Orlando probably wouldn't want you to seek revenge on Albus Dumbledore..." Asia wiped away her tears and sighed.
Ever since Voldemort suddenly appeared in Knockturn Alley and clashed with Ivan a few months ago, she realized that compared to revenge, she cared more about Ivan's safety.
The outcome of that battle was good; Voldemort fled in disgrace. But no one in the Wizarding World knew the extent of Dumbledore's power. He was the one who even the all-powerful Voldemort feared...
Ivan looked at Asia, who had let go of her desire for revenge, and felt a mix of relief and helplessness. However, he soon shook his head in resignation.
The problem was, even if he was willing to let Dumbledore go, Dumbledore might not be willing to let him off.
"What's wrong? Has Albus Dumbledore been causing trouble at school?" Asia noticed Ivan's change in expression and her previously calm demeanor quickly turned to intense anger.
She hadn't expected that even after she was ready to let go of the past, Dumbledore would still persist.
As for Ivan's plan to gather people and take over the Ministry of Magic, she didn't see it as a big deal... If Dumbledore wasn't willing to fight Voldemort or lead the British Wizarding World, someone else would step up!
"I think you've misunderstood, Mom. It's me who plans to deal with him, as a precaution... After all, he's the last obstacle! And haven't you forgotten? I recently defeated Voldemort with ease, and Dumbledore doesn't have that kind of power!" Ivan said with feigned confidence.
To avoid worrying Asia, Ivan didn't mention the duel with Dumbledore scheduled for the next day. Instead, he held her hand and reassured her earnestly.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine, I promise!"
...
The next morning, Ivan got up on time as usual, ignoring the arranged duel time. After having breakfast with Asia, he found a reason to visit the Ministry of Magic to supervise Pierce. He avoided Asia, put on his battle robe, and equipped ten protective rings before leaving the magic shop.
Dumbledore had already chosen a venue for the duel before Ivan left Hogwarts, a place far from both Muggle cities and the Wizarding World.
Ivan had no intention of avoiding the battle; he had a pressing question that only Dumbledore could answer!
