Chapter 86 "Repentance" by Carlo
The moment the term "muddy seed" appeared, it was like a boulder thrown into the water, creating ripples everywhere.
Everyone knew that the sudden news that the Selwyn family had appointed a new patriarch who was still studying at Hogwarts was definitely a big problem.
Moreover, many people present came with some skepticism. After all, young people may not understand the methods of vying for power and profit, but that doesn't mean that these veteran hunters who have been competing for fame and fortune for many years don't have such a sense.
However, having a sense of smell is only a prerequisite; the key lies in evidence, or in whether someone dares to find and present evidence.
Most people believe that no one would speak up for losers who have no value or meaning.
However, the situation changes when the term "Mudblood" is used, as there has always been a great deal of conflict between purebloods, mixed-races, and Muggle-born individuals.
Even if the Hogwarts students were guests of the new Selwyn family patriarch, the person who spoke could have claimed it was out of nostalgia for the glory of pure-bloods, and thus, in a fit of anger, he spoke recklessly.
Many people recognized the speaker; he was the only wizard from the Caro family, one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans and a member of the Death Eaters, who was not in Azkaban.
It wasn't that this person was exceptionally capable and found a way to clear his name; it was simply because he was too young when Voldemort wreaked havoc on the world to join the Death Eaters. Furthermore, Voldemort had many capable subordinates at the time, and there was nothing that violated wizarding law that required a young wizard to do.
He was lucky enough to escape unscathed, and as a result, he grew increasingly disgusted with Muggles and half-bloods.
Whether this person's words at the dinner party were unintentional or deliberate attempts to sow discord, seasoned hunters in the world of fame and fortune began to investigate.
Upstairs, the two people who were about to come downstairs heard it clearly. Their faces were frosty. Vio could clearly feel a surging aura brewing within the young man beside him. It seemed that as long as the owner of this place did not object, this power would surely crush the person downstairs who spoke arrogantly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Ryan." Vio suppressed his anger and planned to persuade Ryan first. He shouldn't use force in public. He could find another opportunity to cause trouble for the Carlo family later.
"it is good."
"I know you definitely won't want to let this go so easily..." Vio suddenly widened his eyes: "Ah! You agreed!"
"I'm not confident yet, so I won't give anyone cause for gossip in front of everyone," Ryan said, his face still cold. "But that doesn't mean I won't teach him a lesson now."
"By the way, Vio, is this someone from the Carlo family?"
"Yes, his name is Amoso Caro."
Ryan: "It seems the Carol siblings are both in Azkaban?"
Vio: "So the youngest Carlo on the outside feels that his family did Voldemort a favor."
"It seems that if we want to reunite this family in the future, we'll need to use some methods and investigate their background." Ryan smiled, his eyes flashing coldly, and said, "Given the situation on the first floor, it's time for you, the host, to step in."
As the two were talking, Amoso Caro, who was swearing profusely, was already being stared at intently by the only middle-aged wizard in the Hogwarts seating area.
Under that empty gaze, Carlo felt an overwhelming sense of dread, as if the middle-aged wizard had seen right through him.
Amos Calo recognized the middle-aged wizard. The only difference between him and his impression was that Professor Snape, who had never changed his hairstyle, suddenly had a clean-cut look.
But as the head of Slytherin, shouldn't Professor Snape look down on Muggle-born students?
To his even greater surprise, besides Snape, even Draco from the Malfoy family cast an angry glare at him!
Is the sun rising in the west? The Malfoy family has started making contact with the Mudbloods!
He suspected this because Lucius noticed his son's movements but made no comment, casually chatting with someone while leaning on his cane.
Just as he sensed something was wrong, the Hogwarts students slammed their fists on the table and stood up.
They not only slammed their fists on the table, but one by one they drew their wands.
"You, Carlo, think you're so great because your family is an important part of Azkaban, huh?" George said.
"That's right, as an important part of a well-known area in the magical world, it's quite remarkable." Fred said sarcastically.
Pablo's answer was much more concise: "Apologize."
Carlo sneered inwardly, not taking the students' threats seriously at all. He opened his mouth, wanting to continue talking about the Mudbloods, but uttered words that were different from what he had in mind.
"I am deeply sorry. As one of the disgraceful members of the magical world, the Carlo family has caused great harm to it!"
"I apologize for my rude barking, and for instigating conflict between purebloods and non-purebloods. I am a sinner, and I deserve to go to Azkaban!"
As Carlo was speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth and made stammering sounds.
He was filled with terror. Why had he said such a thing? Why were the words he wanted to say different from the words that came out?
Not only him, but many hunters who smelled blood were shocked. They never expected that the wizards of the Carlo family outside would say such things.
They were only surprised for a moment before realizing that it was probably because what Carlo was about to say had been altered.
Soul-Stealing Curse.
These three words come to mind for many people.
However, this was quickly refuted, because Carlo clearly only spoke differently; he still possessed the ability to control his limbs, rendering himself speechless. A person truly afflicted with the Imperius Curse, on the other hand, would have everything controlled by the caster, with no independent consciousness whatsoever.
However, such magic was something that none of the people present had ever seen or even heard of, let alone seen.
As Carlo covered his mouth, desperately trying to keep himself from making a sound, he heard footsteps coming downstairs. Two people walked down the stairs one after the other.
The man in the lead, dressed in magnificent robes, spoke loudly: "Mr. Carlo, it is a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them. Why then must you humiliate your family like this? Do you perhaps feel that Selwyn has been unhospitable?"
Carlo, covering his mouth, glared venomously at Vio, knowing he must have been under someone's spell. He vowed to tell all the pure-blood families that there was a traitor among them.
Then he heard the boy walking behind him laugh: "His hospitality is certainly not a problem. Perhaps Mr. Carlo knows his sins are grave and wants to use words to spur himself on."
These words elicited laughter from the Hogwarts students, who were all delighted.
"I never imagined there would be someone with a conscience in a family like this. Oh, Merlin, that's incredible!"
"How can you say that about our Mr. Carlo? We made him apologize, and he really did."
"We had no idea that Daoxian had so many different styles."
A long string of phrases like "shame," "apology," and "admitting mistakes and correcting them" filled the banquet hall.
Immediately, the banquet hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Only Amos Caro, consumed by rage, released his hand from his mouth, ready to engage in a righteous debate with the Hogwarts students.
He shouted, "Everyone's right! The Carol family is indeed deeply sinful! The Carol family is a gathering of Death Eaters! They're no good!"
