"I have already told, mother. And she was alright with it as long as I don't bring him to the family. And since you have the time to talk, our business in France is having some problems these days. I don't have much time right now, and you should go and check it out."

Carl's expression changed after hearing those words, and he was more determined to get rid of his brother and become the lord himself. If he were the lord, he would control all the Lestrange family's wealth, and Carl would not need his brother to give him some allowance here and there as if he was a beggar. Although he got some inheritance after his father's death, Carl was not a great man as he thought about himself. He was not the man that worked his ass off to run his business, and he did not care how much he would spend.

In the end, Carl tried to impress the dark lord and gain his favor, so Carl ended up giving everything he got to the dark lord who was building his armies. But his brother gained more than he did in the end by donating part of the family's huge wealth to the dark lord.

Corvus did not wait for Carl to decline his order before standing up and leaving the room. A smile formed on his face after saying those words since he knew how his brother wished for wealth without working his ass for it.

Carl looked at his brother's back while gritting his teeth. All he could think of at this point was that he would surely take everything from Corvus one day, even if he spent his life trying to do that. Everything would be worthy of it. He would leave him begging on the streets before torturing him until he died in front of him. Carl was not the one to care about the familial relationship, and he would do everything in order to get what he wanted.

While Carl was thinking of the many ways that he could torture his brother and get back at him for sending him away to France, his mind came up with a wicked idea that he would like to implement before traveling to France. Although this idea would not calm his anger or the hatred in his heart for good, it would, at least, decrease his suffering by a lot. 'Since you dare to send me away like that, let's see if your son could handle the suffering that I intended to show him because of you. Heh, I will make sure that your son will grow up to hate everything around him. I might as well use him to kill you and send him to Azkaban. At that time, I might get the chance to take everything for myself.'

At that time, Carl stood up and left the manor without saying anything to his brother or his mother. He intended to make a movement on Corvus's son, himself, to calm his anger a little bit. He stood in front of the manor before opening his mouse and saying "Grace Orphanage." and disappeared in the next second.

In the newborn children's room, Grace Orphanage,

"Sister Luna, another boy got sent out to your orphanage. How are you doing dealing with all that?" A middle-aged woman asked as she looked at another middle-aged woman in front of her. She looked around in the room to see the situation of the young children that got sent to the Grace Orphanage recently. "Are the other children making it hard for you? You don't look good at all!!!"

"Don't worry, sister Ruby. I will manage to do it somehow. You don't have to worry about me." Luna smiled a little as she looked at Ruby. Although there was a smile on her face, her tiredness and exhaustion said everything. After saying those words, she turned to look at the young baby that came two days ago and could not help but pity him a little for having such a hard life. "His name is Max Sharp. I heard that his mother gave him a name, but his father refused to acknowledge him and throw him away. That was why he ended up taking his mother's last name. It is a pity, isn't it?"

Ruby could not help but look at the boy, who was awake from the start but did not make a noise, even for a second. She was surprised when she saw him for the first time because he was a little cute and good looking and the most important thing was he would not make it hard for sister Luna to take care of him, unlike the other children. "Yes, I really like that boy, and I wish that he could find someone to take care of him when he is still this young. I am sure he would find a good family to take care of him. I can't believe there is a family that would throw away such a gem. His father is probably insane for doing that."

While the two women were considering the problems they faced in this orphanage, they did not realize that the boy was listening to everything to understand his situation. That was how he always acted as a serial killer in his previous life. He would try to hide his presence and stay as low as possible until he got everything about the situation around him before acting.

'I got sent to an Orphanage, huh. Well, I did not expect anything of that father of mine that forced my mother to die. And I don't care much. My family was always a mess in both worlds. It was not going to change my mind or anything. I killed my father once, and I can do that again when required," Max thought as he continued to listen to the two women talking about him. 'This situation is quite hateful. I can't do anything to anyone, even if I wanted. What a joy killer!!! It seems that I had to wait for a long time before enjoying my life again. I should try figuring out about this magic while I am stuck here.'

At this moment,

In front of the main door of the orphanage,

Carl suddenly appeared after using his apparition spell to get to this orphanage. He knocked on the door politely as any gentlemen would do. Sister Luna, who was inside, heard his knock and stood up to see who it was. "Who is it? Are you expecting someone at this time?"

"No, it should be the mail," Sister Luna said to answer her friend's question before opening the door to see a man in weird clothes standing there. Sister Luna did not know if this man was trying to cosplay by wearing those clothes that the men of the middle ages wore someday. This man's appearance also alarmed sister Luna because she was afraid that this man would hurt the children. "Who are you? And what do you want?"

"Oh, hello, there, my lady. My name is Carl Ryan from Ryan corporation. I am here to examine this orphanage and check if it needed any funds. I am doing a survey for my family. They wanted to see if the orphanages around here needed donations," Carl said with a smile on his face as he looked at Luna. He was enjoying this play because he would get the chance to hurt his nephew anytime now. "Can I come in, or is there a problem?"

Sister Luna, who took his card and saw that he was saying the truth, of course, would allow him to come in and see the situation of the orphanage himself. After WWII, the government had taken care of the orphanages and would send much money. But the war ended nine years ago, and the government's help decreased over time, and the situation was quite troublesome there. That was why sister Luna would accept any kind of support from anyone to take care of those children. "Of course. Please, come in. This one here is sister Ruby. She is not an employee here, but she comes twice a weak to help me take care of the children. And the children are grateful for her."

"Pleased to meet you, my lady," Carl said as he took Ruby's hand to kiss it, earning himself a point in the sisters' eyes. They would never expect that there was a maniac and a sociopath behind this gentleman.

"Please, have a seat, Sir Ryan," Sister Ruby said as she pointed to a seat next to her. Her eyes did not get away from the man for even a second. That man looked that he came from a wealthy family, or he would not come out wearing something like that. His help would provide much for this orphanage, and she had to show him respect. "So, what brings you here, Sir Ryan?"

"Oh, the family asked me to check on some orphanages here in London to make a donation. And I came here myself to check on everything since I don't want the family's money to get into the wrong hands. So can I check around?" Carl asked as he looked at the two sisters. He wanted to search for his nephew, but he had to look unsuspicious in front of those two, or they might give him a piece of false information. 'I considered torturing them one by one until they tell me where that nephew of mine was, but the dark lord did not want us to behave recklessly because of Dumbledore. The dark lord said that he is planning something right now, and if any of us screwed much, he would punish us himself.'
