The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Tom looked down at Morfin Gaunt who lay on the ground.

In fact, he had just been deliberately trying to provoke Morfin further.

In a duel, if you lose your composure, you're halfway to losing...

Sure enough, Morfin, who was successfully enraged by Tom, didn't even use the Shield Charm, and decisively used the more difficult Killing Curse.

But... Morfin has not practiced the Dark Arts for too many years...

So the casting action is too slow...

With such a long pre-casting period, how could he possibly be a match for Tom?

Tom has gone through several months of high-intensity pressure training from Levid!

His casting speed can be said to be astonishingly fast!

Tom threw Morfin's wand back next to Morfin and said coldly, "Pick it up..."

"what?"

"I told you to pick up your wand!"

"You...you..." Angry Morfin grabbed the wand again.

However, there were still no surprises this time.

Morfin, who had not been in battle for a long time, was knocked away before he could even raise his wand, and his body hit the fence hard.

Tom walked over slowly again and looked at the desperate Morfin with indifference.

"A descendant of Slytherin, can't you even beat an underage wizard? Think about it yourself, a descendant of Slytherin... are you really worthy of it? If you can't bear the responsibility, then let me do it!"

Tom bent down and took the ring from Morfin's hand, who had lost the strength to fight again.

"From this day forward, I am the true descendant of Slytherin, and you..." Tom pulled a purse from his pocket and tossed it beside Morfin. "Morfin Gaunt, and your Gaunt family... from now on, you are no longer allowed to claim to be descendants of Slytherin! These 500 gold Galleons are the price my mother, Merope Gaunt, pays for officially separating herself from your Gaunt family."

Tom said this, holding the ring and walking out of the deserted yard of the Gaunt family without looking back.

Dumbledore took a look at Morfin Gaunt, who was lying on the ground like a dead ashes, and after confirming that he was not injured, he left the Gaunt house with Lewd.

……

Tom walked ahead silently.

Dumbledore and Levid followed behind him.

All three of them remained silent.

Tom suddenly stopped, raised his hand, and put the ring solemnly on his finger with a sickly flush on his face.

In all these years of life, he has never felt as comfortable as today!

Then he turned around and looked at Dumbledore and Levid.

"Professor Dumbledore...thank you for not interfering..." After the excitement, Tom seemed to become reserved again.

Dumbledore sighed. "In fact, I am pleased with your change, Tom... You have indeed changed a lot... In the past, you would never have given him the money in the end."

Although what happened just now was unexpected, Dumbledore felt somewhat relieved afterwards.

Taking the ring away is Tom's responsibility to revive the Slytherin family.

Leaving 500 gold galleons behind was a sign of Tom's kindness. Compared to the illusory family honor, having enough to eat was Morfin Gaunt's top priority...

This is also what Dumbledore is most pleased about.

"Nothing... I just thought that if it were Wade, he would definitely do the same." Tom said modestly.

"Huh? Me?" Li Weide was a little surprised when his name was suddenly called.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he reached into his pocket and looked. "Ha! I was wondering why you were flattering me... Turns out those Galleons you threw to that guy were my Galleons! Tell me, when did you take them?"

Tom said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by your Galleons? Don't forget, I also have a share of the Galleons in the Gringotts vault!"

"But this is my pocket! Not Gringotts!"

"Okay, just think of it as me lending it to you, is that okay?"

"Borrow? You just said you would borrow it, right? Fine! Nine out, thirteen back! No negotiation!"

"You... I knew it! How could you get it so easily... So you let me take it on purpose!"

"Haha, no need to talk nonsense, you just said it was borrowed!"

Dumbledore looked at the two young men fighting in front from behind and sighed again.

"It's great to be young..."

The next chapter will be a little late. Sorry.

Chapter 123 Tom, your dad won’t hide, will he?

"Now, are we going back?" Li Weide asked.

Tom, who had just been forced to sign an unequal treaty, nodded slowly with a sour face.

Li Wei De suddenly asked again: "But... you already know your father's information. Do you want to ask if there is any Muggle family named Riddle nearby?"

Tom couldn't help but frown when he heard the word Muggle family.

It wasn't until today that he learned from his uncle that his father was actually a Muggle...

It was completely opposite to his previous guess.

In other words, he is not a pure blood...

Thinking of this, Tom couldn't help feeling a little lost.

"Tom, haven't you come to your senses yet?" Li Weide said angrily, "Pureblood or half-blood, what does it matter?"

"You are a half-blood, yet you can defeat other pure-blood students in the school. Moreover, Morfin Gaunt, a pure-blood wizard of Slytherin descent, is no match for you. Isn't this enough to prove the point?"

"Does it take courage for you to even accept reality?"

Tom lowered his head after hearing what Li Weide said.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Okay... then let's go find out."

Dumbledore watched this scene, a smile on his face again.

Sure enough, his decision was right. Li Weide could indeed make Tom change...

……

The Riddle family is considered a "prominent family" in the Muggle world because they are rich enough!

So, Dumbledore and the other two quickly found out where the Riddle family was.

Then they were surprised to find that the Riddles' home was only five or six miles away from the Gaunts' home, in Little Hangleton.

This is why Merope always saw Old Tom passing by her house...

Moreover, when they asked the Muggles about the Riddle family, they also accidentally heard a piece of gossip...

That is a story about the current head of the Riddle family, Tom's father, Old Tom.

Those Muggles said that Old Tom had disappeared for a whole year more than ten years ago.

When he came back, he seemed a little confused, and kept muttering something about witches and witchcraft.

People thought he was crazy, but later, as time went by, he slowly returned to normal.

However, this incident successfully became the talk of the Muggles throughout Little Hangleton... and lasted for many years.

After hearing this gossip, Tom's face was not very good...

Even though he didn't know what means his mother used, he knew that his father definitely did not marry his mother voluntarily!

As a witch, she has plenty of ways to make a Muggle fall in love with her...

In other words...if he went to find his father now, the treatment he would receive might be no different from that of the Gaunt family!

Tom's mood suddenly became depressed.

Logically, these two places should be his home, but now...

He can't go back to either place!

"Tom, what do you think? If you're not ready yet... we can come back next time." Levid glanced at Dumbledore and continued, "If we're just visiting a Muggle family, there shouldn't be any danger. So, Professor, if you're busy, we can come by ourselves next time. It should be no problem."

Dumbledore pondered and said, "It's not safe outside now, Wade. I will go with you. Even if I don't have time. Don't forget, students are not allowed to use magic outside of school... Tom has already broken the rules."

Grindelwald is very interested in these two children! He can't let his guard down!

"Well... Tom, you think about it first." Levid said, and he and Dumbledore walked aside, giving Tom time to think about it.

"Since we're here... this little bit doesn't matter! No matter how bad the situation is, can it be as bad as the Gaunt family? Professor, let's go. Let's go to the Riddle family..." Tom made up his mind without thinking for long.

Originally, after he knew that his father was forced to marry his mother, he didn't want to visit his father again.

The best thing is to never have any contact with each other again.

But... after thinking it over again and again, he decided to go!

Even if it is just to fulfill my mother's last wish!

Livid said cheerfully, "Then let's go. Professor, you go ahead. If the Riddles come with a hunting rifle or something...with your magic, I'm sure it'll be easily blocked."

"Well...all it takes is a Transfiguration spell to turn the shotgun into a snake or a rat...You can do it, Vader, but students can't cast spells outside of school. That was just an exception, and I can't let you break the rules again. If we really encounter it, let me do it this time."

Dumbledore also continued Levid's topic and tried to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

Tom naturally understood what these two people meant, but he really wasn't in the mood right now...

The Riddle family estate is much larger.

Compared to the Riddle family's large manor, the Gaunt family's cabin is really like a toilet...

In front of the big iron gate of the manor.

"Who are you looking for?" An old butler looked at the three people in front of him.

When his eyes fell on Tom's face, his expression changed instantly.

"You...you wait a moment! I'll go call Master Riddle!"

The old butler took three steps at a time and ran into the manor, as if there was a man-eating monster following behind him.

Dumbledore and the other two looked at each other and had no choice but to wait there helplessly.

"Tom, your father won't hide, will he?"

"Hmph... hard to say!"

Dumbledore said nothing, but stood in front and pulled the two children behind him.

If the other party really uses knives or guns, the two children will be safe with him blocking the way.

Not long after, the old butler came back again.

What made Dumbledore feel a little relieved was that the old butler had no weapon in his hand.

He came in a carriage...

From this, it can be seen that the Riddle family's manor is indeed very large, and the Riddle family is by no means just a small landowner with a little money...

The old butler got out of the carriage and respectfully opened the door.

An old gentleman with white hair got down from the carriage.

He looks very old, but still looks very energetic.

What made Li Weide a little curious was that judging from his age, he didn't seem to be Tom's father...

But... this old man still looks very similar to Tom.

Li Weide remembered that Old Tom's father was still alive at this time...

In other words, this person should be Tom's grandfather?

As soon as Master Riddle got out of the carriage, he looked eagerly at the three people in front of him.

Finally, his gaze fell on Tom.

There was no need to even ask, just by looking at his appearance... Master Riddle recognized that this was his grandson.
