Chapter 139 Smile
After saying the last words, "Lily" stopped moving and just stared at Snape silently.
But the willow wand in her hand was still pointing at Karan, like a silent threat.
After the ash wand was suddenly knocked away, Karan never said another word, nor did he try to defend himself.
And his eyes also moved to Snape.
Snape silently raised the cypress wand in his hand.
He finally turned to look at Karan and gradually pointed the tip of his staff at him.
Karan raised his eyebrows but remained silent.
The two looked at each other silently. The one with the wand in his hand was trembling slightly, but the one who was threatened had a calm face.
Finally, Snape slowly closed his eyes.
The direction pointed by the cypress wand suddenly turned with force, and at the same time, Snape suddenly shouted loudly: "Funny!"
A spell was shot, and Snape didn't know whether he had successfully hit "Lily", but he heard Karan suddenly chuckle.
"Sure enough, garbage is just garbage." Karan's tone was extremely mocking.
Snape finally quietly opened his eyes. "Lily" standing in front of him seemed to have changed slightly, but it did not disappear completely.
"Why don't you come and help!"
He shouted anxiously, completely ignoring Karan's mocking expression.
"Use my wand!" He said and was about to throw the cypress wand away, but Karan calmly raised a hand.
The ash wand that had been knocked away earlier was now being held tightly by him.
"Is this...your wandless magic?" Snape asked in shock. Just now, he saw with his own eyes that Callan's wand was knocked away a long distance. It was not a short distance.
"It's magic thread, a magical alchemical item."
Karan pointed the ash wand at "Lily" and said slowly: "Sure enough, Gaspard is right. The Disembodiment Spell is indeed very useful. The invisible magic thread is even less likely to be noticed."
"Now is not the time for small talk!"
The expression on Snape's face became more anxious, because he saw that "Lily" had turned into an expression full of resentment.
"You betrayed me!" she shouted angrily, "You will get nothing!"
"You have nothing!"
A look of pain crossed Snape's face, but he finally just yelled, "Funny!"
"Lily's" face seemed to be trying to pull out a smile, but it gradually returned to its original indifferent expression.
Snape looked at Karan in panic, and Karan waved his hand impatiently.
"Stand back, trash." He sneered again.
Snape hurriedly ran behind Karan, and he shouted angrily: "Quickly deal with it!"
"Also, don't call me trash!"
"I know, poor guy." Karan changed his name casually. Snape glared at him angrily, but he did not stop.
After Snape ran a short distance, "Lily" finally showed a change.She did not try to attack Karan with the wand again, but suddenly made a crisp sound.
In an instant, "Lily" disappeared.
What appeared next was a soft bed, on which lay an ugly old man with a pale face, without a trace of blood.
Snape looked from a distance behind. Although he had not seen the old man with his own eyes, he knew who he was.
The owner of the only orphanage in Spider End Alley, Mr. Anthony.
The moment he appeared, Karan's eyes suddenly became extremely cold.
"Karan..."
Mr. "Anthony" finally spoke, his tone weak.
"I know you're different," he said.
"It's different from those kids."
"I left you a special amount of money. This is a large inheritance, enough for you to use for a long time."
"Leave it for me?" Karan said coldly, as if he was repeating a conversation that actually happened.
"Is this really the case?" he asked coldly.
"Of course! Of course it's true!" Mr. "Anthony" seemed to have used a lot of effort to say this sentence completely.
His eyes were fixed on Karan, never relaxing at all.
"You should live a good life and no longer have to worry about those orphans. Don't worry, they will not starve to death. They have hands and feet and can always find some work to support themselves."
"This money is all for you!"
"It's all for you alone!"
He stared at Karan, his eyes protruding abnormally and covered with bloodshot eyes.
He said nothing more.
he died.
Until the end, he never showed a hint of pleading or weakness.
There is only ferocity, even ferociousness.
Snape, who was far behind him, rolled his throat and even held his breath unconsciously.
Karan was silent and looked at Mr. "Anthony" with a dead look on his face.
"It's so bad..."
He whispered angrily, then raised his wand without hesitation and shouted loudly as if to vent his anger: "Funny!"
Mr. "Anthony"'s expression gradually changed. He was still weak, but became calmer.
"Karan..." he said, his tone still weak.
"I'm dying."
This time, he said it bluntly.
"I have an inheritance, a big inheritance. After I die, there will be people fighting for the money, but no one can help me keep it."
"I can't give up on these orphans, even after I die."
"Perhaps you can help me."
He looked at Karan calmly, and finally there was a hint of pleading in his tone.
"Help me, help those poor kids."
"Even if you don't do it, I won't blame you."
"But at least, go help them."
At the end of his speech, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
Karan's eyes suddenly softened a lot, and he said with a smile.
"I reject."
The expression on Mr. "Anthony's" face did not change. He just slowly closed his eyes and said weakly: "I knew you were a hard-hearted guy."
"You never know how to be grateful."
"Maybe, just a hint, but it's not enough."
"I shouldn't have been so stupid."
He gave Karan one last look.
"I'm going to die," he said.
Karan just smiled.
"Then I will bury you properly, Mr. Anthony."
"Is that all?" Mr. "Anthony" asked, "Is that all that is enough?"
Karan looked at him calmly.
"These are quite a few."
Eventually, Mr. "Anthony" died.He opened his eyes with a calm expression, and the expression on Karan's face seemed to be different.
Still dying with eyes closed.
There was a brief silence.
Callan raised his wand again and whispered, "Funny."
With a crisp "pop" sound, the hospital bed in front of him disappeared and turned into a large sofa. Mr. "Anthony" sat on it, and his complexion looked much better.
"It seems my method is working."
Mr. "Anthony" said with a smile: "You have taken good care of Anthony's courtyard. This is beyond my expectation."
"You should really think so." The smile on Karan's face faded, even a little indifferent.
He said unceremoniously: "I am much better than you think."
"You are just a Muggle who doesn't understand anything. And I am a wizard."
Mr. "Anthony" smiled even more happily.
"A tough-talking wizard," he said, "It's really amazing. In the end, he was trapped by a Muggle like me who doesn't understand anything."
"At least that's how it seems to you. Even if I leave you so much money, you can use it as you wish."
"snort!"
Karan snorted coldly: "Compared to magic, that money is completely worthless."
"It's not important." Mr. "Anthony" shook his head.
"None of this matters anymore."
"I'm already dead, and I succeeded in not giving you a chance to refuse."
"Although that seems a bit inhumane, and the way I looked when I died wasn't very pretty."
"I handled it very well," Karan said. "At least I made you look respectable, completely in the style of an old-school gentleman."
Mr. "Anthony" nodded with satisfaction.
"It's time to say goodbye," he said.
Karan didn't speak, just silent.
Mr. "Anthony" stood up and walked up to Callan.
"Still so stubborn." He smiled nonchalantly, put a palm on Karan's shoulder, and patted it hard a few times.
"You did very well."
He nodded and kept saying: "Very good."
Karan watched him silently, and after a while, he asked: "So, it's not over yet, right?"
Mr. "Anthony" laughed again.
"You know the answer," he said.
"Not just for this."
"Maybe, it's not just for me now."
Karan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression seemed a little angry, but in the end he just said calmly: "Funny."
With a burst of explosions, Mr. "Anthony" turned into countless small puffs of smoke and disappeared with a smile.
That smiling look was exactly the same as Karan's usual look.
