The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Malfoy hid behind Marcus, shrinking even tighter.

His face was pale, and his hands were firmly grasping the corners of Marcus' clothes, as if this could give him a sense of security.

This time, Devereaux completely ignored Bo Jin's attitude. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Marcus with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Hey, if this place disappears, what impact will it have on you?"

Marcus frowned, obviously not expecting Devereux to ask such a question.

He hesitated slightly and replied:

"Well, actually the impact is not that big. After all, the business here has been difficult to maintain after the Ministry of Magic launched this activity... But why do you ask?"

Devereux did not answer directly, but gave a meaningful smile.

He slowly raised the wand in his hand and pointed it at the ceiling of the store, his movements as graceful as if he were selecting a work of art.

"What to do? Of course, clean up these eyesores."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his wand sharply and neatly, as if he had already made up his mind.

In an instant, the entire store's concealing magic collapsed like a torn curtain!

Dark magic aura surged out from all directions, as if a sleeping beast suddenly woke up.

Those seemingly ordinary shelves and counters now all showed their true appearance - shelves full of dark magic items, antiques that shone with strange light, and several magic instruments that clearly exuded dangerous auras. Unreservedly exposed to the public.

Playing cards stained with blood, glass eyes staring at people, various human bones...

Lupine froze on the spot, eyes wide.

His eyes wandered between those dark magic items, with unconcealable shock in his tone.

"Oh my god, there are so many dark magic items hidden in this place! The Ministry of Magic didn't notice it at all..."

Marcus and Bojin, who were standing on the other side, looked in disbelief.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"This is impossible!"

Borgin was the first to shout, his expression as ugly as if he had swallowed a live mouse.

He stood up abruptly, pointing at Devereux with a trembling hand.

"You...how did you do that?!"

Although Marcus was not as gloomy as Borgin, his face instantly darkened.

He stared at Devereux closely, his voice was low and cold:

"This concealment magic was placed by the master himself, and only a wizard who fully grasps its core can break it. Where did you learn it!?"

Devereaux, however, seemed to have not heard what they said, and slowly took back his wand.

He said quietly.

"Well, looking at it now, this place looks like a place where a dark wizard would come."

In an instant, Bo Jin's face turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained away.

How could he not understand what Devereaux meant, he just wanted to report him!

He stood up stiffly, his eyes flickering between Marcus and Devereaux, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

However, when he looked at Marcus, the latter deliberately turned his face away, as if he didn't notice his pleading look.

At this moment, Bo Jin's heart sank to the bottom.

He took a deep breath, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What does this mean?

Is Marcus completely ignoring me?

He looked at Devereux again, and found that the other person was looking at him with a half-smile, with a condescending indifference in his eyes, as if he was looking at a helpless insect.

"Well," Devereux nodded slightly, with a hint of casual mockery in his tone, "In this way, even if the people from the Ministry of Magic send a dog, they can arrest you, right?"

Bo Jin's body shook violently, as if someone had stabbed him in the chest. He moved a few trembling steps forward, cold sweat on his face sliding down the tip of his nose, and his lips trembled so much that he could hardly speak.

Marcus and the others have other properties that they can just walk away from, but that's not the case with Bojin. This is an inheritance passed down from his ancestors, and he cannot destroy it in his own hands! !

"Sir... no, I'm sorry, I was blind before and didn't realize that your magic power is so strong... I... I..."

He said "I" several times in succession, but couldn't form a complete sentence. Finally, he simply bowed, his voice trembling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was blind and offended you!"

Bo Jin's figure became even more stooped, and he looked like he might collapse at any moment.

His tone was full of flattery and fear, as if he just wanted Devereaux to let him go.

However, Devereux just smiled, and that smile made Bo Jin even more frightened.

"Apologize?"

Devereaux's voice was light but had a sense of oppression.

"If an apology is useful, why do we need the Ministry of Magic?"

Bo Jin's whole body trembled and he almost fell to his knees, but there was only meaningless pleading left in his mouth.

"Sir, spare your life... spare your life..."

"Hurry up and pack up,"

Devereaux said calmly, his tone was understated, but it carried a coercion that could not be ignored.

"When the people from the Ministry of Magic come to arrest him later, at least he can be decent."

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Bo Jin's heart directly.

His face instantly lost all color, his legs softened, and he knelt down directly in front of Devereaux, even his voice had a hint of crying.

"Sir! Please! I really beg you! From now on, when you come to my store, all your purchases will be reduced by half! No, 80% off!"

Bo Jin looked embarrassed and pitiful. The cold sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks and soaked his collar.

His voice was filled with an extremely humble pleading, as if he was willing to pay any price as long as he could keep the store.

Devereaux was unmoved. He walked forward slowly, looking down at Bo Jin with a faint smile on his lips.

He reached out and patted Bo Jin's shoulder gently, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Since everything is like this, why don't you just give me the store? This will save some trouble, how about it?"

This sentence was like a bomb that exploded in Bo Jin's mind.

His face became paler, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

His mind was in a mess, he was afraid of losing the store, and he was also afraid of offending the seemingly young but unfathomable wizard in front of him.

Just when Bo Jin was at a loss, a hand suddenly tapped his shoulder from behind.

"Shut up."

Marcus's voice sounded coldly, with an unquestionable majesty.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Go to the back."

Borgin was stunned for a moment, looked up at Marcus, and found a faint warning in the other man's eyes.

He didn't dare to say anything, shrank his neck, stood up tremblingly, and retreated behind the counter dejectedly.

He pretended to look down at the account book, but his eyes couldn't help but glance towards the door from time to time, as if officials from the Ministry of Magic would break in the next second and take away him and all the dark magic items in the shop.

Marcus glanced at Borgin angrily, and then looked at Devereux, who was smiling.

"You've become stronger again. I'm no match for you. I won't say anything to ask you not to report it."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and looked at Devereux.

"So, I would like to give you a piece of advice in exchange for not embarrassing Bo Jin."

(Sorry everyone, I'm late today. I was busy helping my family move for a while, and I was busy going back to my hometown to unlock the phone card. But now I have finally unlocked it successfully!!! The new book should be signed on Tomato this week. This one is still being updated as usual. New, familiar characters will gradually return in the future. Some readers said that losing the previous characters after using them affects the sense of substitution. Indeed, it makes sense. I am just not good at connecting major events. It’s really a bad habit, I’ll try to improve it later!)
