Chapter 44: Mephisto & Associates!(EDITED)

Dumbledore thought that he should grab that brat by the neck and ask him some questions.

"Do I look like a fool?"

But then, upon second thought, he let it go.

It was just trading some contraband, after all.

Compared to the dark wizards causing havoc in Knockturn Alley, Kyle's actions didn't seem so bad.

To use Eastern terms, could this be considered as rising above the mire unsoiled?

"Well, kid, let's go to your home first. To be honest, I'm quite curious!"

Dumbledore chuckled, brushing off the matter.

From start to finish, he always believed Kyle is good-hearted.

Otherwise, why would he have pulled out the sword of Gryffindor?

That's also why he was so lenient towards Kyle.

"Oh, we're almost there. Look, that's my home!"

"I've opened an office in Knockturn Alley specifically to help those in need!"

Kyle pointed to a shop in the distance.

This location could be considered prime location within Knockturn Alley, not far from the "Borgin and Burkes Antiques" diagonally across.

A crooked sign hung outside the shop.

"Mephisto Agency"

Under the name were some descriptions, detailing the services offered and their prices!

"Murder, starting from a hundred Galleons, depending on the target's identity!"

"Arson, starting from eighty Galleons!"

"Kidnapping, starting from two hundred Galleons!"

"Robbery, starting from three hundred Galleons plus thirty percent of looted items!"

...

Dumbledore looked at the contents on the sign and instantly felt his head throb!

This is what you meant by helping those in need?

Oh no!

That feeling of rising blood pressure.

[Ding! Excited emotions detected!]

[Ding! Drawing a treasure chest for the host!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a golden treasure chest!]

Cassandra was also stunned.

They were roughly the same age as young wizards.

But why...

Why is your life so different?

"Um, Professor, wait a moment, there may be some misunderstanding here!"

Kyle hurriedly ran forward and took out a pen from his bag.

Added a "not" before all the services!

Then looked at...

Okay!

This might deepen the misunderstanding even more.

Finally, he simply put the sign into his bag, which had been cast with the "Traceless Extension Charm".

"Please come in, Professor!"

Pretending as if nothing had happened, he pushed the door open and invited the two in.

"Welcome to the Mephisto Agency!"

As soon as they entered, they heard a sharp voice.

"Oh, master, you're finally back! Poor Link has been thinking about you for two whole days."

A house-elf rushed up, kissing Kyle's shoes.

He had bought it from a declining wizarding family specifically to manage the shop.

And also to take care of his small pets.

Kyle even equipped him with a wand.

After training, his combat power was not inferior to those of the proud elves; he was also quite capable.

"Link, go and prepare two cups of tea quickly. I want to entertain our guests."

"Of course, great master."

While the house-elf went to prepare tea, Dumbledore inspected Kyle's agency.

Although the shop looked old from the outside.

But inside, it was very clean.

The agency wasn't large, only about forty to fifty square meters.

A counter, plus a set of sofa and coffee table.

It looked like a living room of a Muggle family.

There were also several potted plants on the windowsill.

"Oh, esteemed guests, the tea is ready."

In no time, the house-elf Link brought three cups of tea and placed them in front of the three.

"Alright, kid, it's getting late. Call out your pets and let's go."

"We still need to hurry back to school!" Dumbledore took a sip of tea, then spoke.

"Well, Professor, but my pets aren't here."

"We need to use a portkey to get to that place."

"I usually let them roam free to experience the beauty of nature."

"Well, let's go there now." Dumbledore got up.

"Miss Cassandra, would you like to come with us, or wait here?"

"Of course, I'll come along!"

Cassandra was now feeling indignant.

Being overwhelmed by Kyle's magical power was one thing.

But just now, she felt her intelligence being overwhelmed.

Well

It's not easy to encounter someone so powerful at the same age; she wanted to compare everything.

Even pets were no exception!

The two fox cats she raised at home were rare and precious magical creatures.

They could predict danger for their owner in advance.

She also wanted to see what pets Kyle had!

"Link, go get the portkey, I'm going to visit Hogsmeade!"

"Yes, master!"
