"Master! Wormtail is dead!"

Little Barty hurriedly greeted him and said.

Upon hearing this, Voldemort raised his eyes slightly and said:

"Oh? How did you die?"

Little Barty said nothing.

He, Bella and others just looked at the werewolf Greyback with cold eyes.

Greyback twitched as if bitten by a poisonous snake, and screamed:

"Master! Wormtail died of serious injuries. He has nothing to do with me!"

"lie--"

Bella shouted sharply, "I think Wormtail was bitten to death by you despicable scavengers! Don't even think about making excuses!"

As soon as this statement came out.

The other Death Eaters became excited.

They kept roaring at Greyback, and some Death Eaters even drew their wands.

"Pah, pah, pah—"

A series of loud explosions erupted from the tip of Voldemort's wand.

The entire living room fell silent again in an instant.

I saw Voldemort slowly coming to Greyback and saying:

"Wormtail, was it killed by werewolves?"

"No...no, Master! Wormtail died of his injuries..."

Before Greyback had finished speaking, a string of fine green electric currents wrapped around his body.

Under the horrific pain of [Cruciatus Curse].

Greyback couldn't even scream. His whole body was twisted and twitching, with despair written all over his face.

After five minutes, the fine green current finally disappeared.

Greyback, who was suspended in the air, fell to the carpet, breathing heavily.

"I ask again, were you the ones who killed him?"

Voldemort asked again.

Greyback raised his eyes with difficulty and said:

"No...not us..."

"Still lying!" Barty Jr. screamed, "Kill him! Kill them! Master! The honor of the Death Eaters cannot be tarnished!"

"That's right! Kill him!"

"Kill all the werewolves!"

…

The Death Eaters all agreed.

And amidst the shouts of death, Voldemort's expression became increasingly ugly.

His eyes swept over the faces of the Death Eaters, and finally landed on Greyback.

He seemed to be hesitating whether to take action or not.

"cough--"

John suddenly coughed lightly.

Within the Death Eaters, John's status was not low.

Everyone heard the sound and looked over.

Even Voldemort is the same.

"Wormtail was seriously injured to begin with, and he has been staying in a place like the basement." John shook his head. "It is normal for his injuries to worsen and to die. So... this thing is probably not done by werewolves.

of."

Hearing what John said, many Death Eaters present were stunned for a moment.

Especially Bella and Barty Jr.

They all couldn't understand why John wanted to intercede for the werewolf?

After just a brief thought, a possibility appeared in their minds.

Could it be that John was the one who really killed Wormtail?

Did he do this to prevent the Dark Lord from continuing to pursue this matter and draw the fire to him, the real culprit, after failing to find out the truth about the werewolf?

This is really not impossible.

After all, John's feud with Wormtail had long been spread among the Death Eaters.

When John was about to join the Death Eaters.

Wormtail also spread rumors that John was a Mudblood and wanted to encourage the Dark Lord to kill John!

This is a deadly feud!

And there are rumors that they had other feuds before this.

Death Eaters are crazy, but there are many smart ones.

Many Death Eaters, like Bella and Barty Jr., thought of this.

This made the atmosphere in the living room a little strange. Each of the Death Eaters looked at John with strange eyes.

When John does this kind of thing, isn't he afraid of the Dark Lord's anger?

After all, at this time, killing each other is strictly prohibited by the Dark Lord.

Many people present were speculating that John might be in bad luck this time.

However, at the next moment, Voldemort turned to look at John, and then smiled with satisfaction:

"Ah - I guess that's the case. After all, Kreacher is just a house elf, not a healer at St. Mungo's. It's normal for Wormtail to die after he was so seriously injured and was not cured.

Things. Get up, Greyback."

Greyback was a little at a loss when he heard this. He lay on the ground blankly. After being stunned for a while, he finally came to his senses and kowtowed to Voldemort with joy.

The other Death Eaters in the living room were no less surprised than Greyback.

They really didn't expect that Voldemort would let the matter go so easily just by John mentioning it.

With Voldemort's wisdom, it is impossible to imagine that this matter is related to John.

So the Dark Lord really favored and valued John to the point where he allowed him to kill Wormtail, and even helped him cover up afterward?

Thinking of this, the eyes of the Death Eaters present when they looked at John completely changed.

They originally thought that Voldemort only valued John's talent and blood.

But judging from the current situation, this can no longer be described as simply focusing on it.

Voldemort is completely treating John as his heir!

Many Death Eaters had smiles on their faces.

They all have a good relationship with John, and they even fought side by side not long ago.

If Voldemort really wanted to make John his heir, then they would also be the ones who would benefit!

While the Death Eaters were thinking their own thoughts, John and Voldemort looked at each other.

Voldemort's face was filled with a satisfied smile, and John also smiled and nodded.

He could probably guess some of the Death Eaters' thoughts.

It's a pity that these Death Eaters all guessed wrong.

In fact, the Death Eaters didn't care at all about Wormtail's death.

Except for little Barty, none of them had even seen this person before.

The reason for embarrassing the werewolf is Wormtail's death.

It was entirely because of his disdain for werewolves, and he wanted to use this incident to eliminate these aliens and maintain his own dignity and status.

Voldemort is now short of manpower and needs the power of werewolves.

The needs of these two parties conflicted.

Originally Voldemort could rely on force and prestige to suppress the Death Eaters.

But the banner that the Death Eaters had previously promoted was based on the concept of pure blood supremacy.
