Chapter 98: Interrogation (Third Update)
Chapter 98: Interrogation (Third Update)
Just like the Kingpin, the Secretary was bald, but his build made him look like a small sprout next to the Kingpin.
Adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, the Bald Secretary handed a device similar to an ipad to the Kingpin and reported respectfully:
"Boss, this is the video from the rooftop surveillance cameras. It shows that those mercenaries failed their mission and seem to have been taken away by that young wizard!"
The Kingpin pinched the ipad with his thick fingers and watched the video, which showed the entire battle between Jerry and the four mercenaries.
"Even a top-ranked mercenary squad couldn't succeed and got captured. This young wizard certainly isn't easy to handle!"
"Boss, why don't we take matters into our own hands? Gather some people and use heavy weapons to surround and eliminate him!"
The Bald Secretary suggested.
The Kingpin waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't rush it. This young wizard isn't as simple as she appears on the surface!"
As the man who built the entire Dark Empire, the Kingpin wasn't just a powerhouse in physical strength; his intellect was far superior to that of ordinary people. He preferred to manipulate everything from the shadows rather than lead the charge.
Until he fully understood all of this young wizard's abilities, he wouldn't send anyone to act on his behalf.
"But boss, she comes every night, and it's affecting our business!"
The Bald Secretary couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Over the past month, thanks to this young wizard, several of their white powder transactions had been completely raided, and their human trafficking operations had been thwarted multiple times.
While they could always find ways to get their people out of jail once the police caught them, this couldn't go on indefinitely!
The Kingpin thought for a moment and then ordered:
"Tell everyone to move all major transactions to areas outside of Hell's Kitchen. Also, schedule them during the day, not at night!"
Following the wizard's pattern, she generally only appeared in Hell's Kitchen to fight crime after midnight, so avoiding this time would temporarily solve the problem.
However, this wasn't a long-term solution, so the Kingpin continued:
"Now that her appearance is known, mobilize everyone to find out this wizard's real identity and all the information you can gather.
People who like to play superhero, no matter how strong they are, have the same weakness. Besides, she's just a child. Find her family and friends.
Then, you know what to do, right?"
"Yes, boss, I understand!"
The Bald Secretary's eyes lit up as he immediately grasped the Kingpin's meaning.
The young wizard might be powerful, but her family and friends couldn't all be strong. Capturing them would make it much easier to deal with her.
"Creak!"
Opening the window, Jerry jumped into the room, then dispelled the disguise charm, revealing his true form.
"It's almost four. Looks like I'll be up all night again!"
Checking the time, he shook his head, took out the Box, and placed it on the ground. He stepped onto the ladder and slowly descended into the Box's interior.
He had no choice; the Polyjuice Potion's effects hadn't worn off yet, so he was still in Hermione's body and needed to be careful.
At the bottom of the Box,
the four bodies lay sprawled out, unconscious, having been put to sleep by Jerry's sleeping charm and thrown in.
"Binding Spell!"
Wand waved four times, and four ropes flew out, binding the four unconscious people on the ground tightly.
The Binding Charm is an extension of the Transfiguration Charm, invented by wizards to deal with magical creatures that have high resistance to magic. In the wizarding world, many magical creatures have significant magic resistance, making spells like the Full Body Bind and the Sleeping Charm less effective against them.
The Binding Charm, however, is difficult to break as long as the target's strength isn't exceptionally powerful. For example, it can effectively bind centaurs.
Another advantage of the Binding Charm is that it doesn't prevent the target from speaking, making it ideal for interrogations.
After Jerry cast the four Binding Charms, a strange sensation surged through his body. He soon realized that his body had changed again, and his familiar form had returned.
The hour-long effect of the Polyjuice Potion had worn off, and his body had returned to its original state.
"Nothing beats my own body!"
Jerry touched his newly regained eight-pack abs and couldn't help but smile. He had worked hard to build those abs, and he certainly didn't want them to be replaced by Hermione's flat stomach. Moreover, Hermione's body was too weak, making him feel extremely uncomfortable in every aspect.
"Revive!"
Wand waved four times, and four Reviving Charms were cast, causing the four bound individuals to slowly open their eyes.
The Suit-clad Man, despite being weakened by the venom, was still alive. Upon waking, his first reaction was to warily survey the surroundings. Seeing Jerry, he couldn't help but look puzzled.
The other three remained still; the Slim Youth made no move, the Red-haired Woman was also wary, and the Brute with the rocket launcher, though bound, immediately started bouncing toward Jerry, trying to collide with him.
"Upside-Down Jinx!"
Jerry calmly pointed at the bulky man with the rocket launcher, and the man was instantly suspended upside down in mid-air, struggling in vain.
This scene caused the remaining three to widen their eyes in shock.
It was clear that this boy, dressed like the girl from before, was also a wizard with magical abilities.
One girl had already defeated all four of them, and now another boy with similar abilities had appeared. Their chances of escaping were now slim to none.
"I'll ask the questions, and you'll answer. If you dare to lie, I'll kill you on the spot!"
Jerry's face was cold and stern.
However, seeing Jerry's expression, the Suit-clad Man nodded and said, "Alright, alright", but his eyes darted around, clearly plotting something.
The threat from an eleven-year-old was hard to take seriously, and they were thinking of how to deceive the child with sweet talk.
"Why did you try to kill the wizard, and who sent you?"
Seeing their expressions, Jerry frowned but still demanded an answer sternly.
"Little boy, we are actually good people, we were forced into this. The wizard girl comes out every night to fight crime, and the ruthless criminals she targets naturally want revenge. It wasn't our fault, but they kidnapped our families, so... so..."
The Suit-clad Man's voice wavered, and he almost shed tears.
The Red-clad Woman even started sobbing, feigning a weak and helpless demeanor, a stark contrast to her earlier ruthless behavior with the sniper rifle.
