Chapter 912: Chapter 368: Young Riddle at Wu’s Orphanage

"You don’t know me?" Harry pointed at himself and asked Riddle.

"Am I supposed to know you?" Riddle scoffed, "I’m not bored enough to recognize every young wizard, that’s the most boring thing—So, are you ready to pay the price for your intrusion, unknown young wizard?"

Harry stood with his hands in his pockets, in a very cool posture.

"So, you don’t have memories of Voldemort himself, right?" he asked.

Riddle laughed.

"Voldemort?" he chuckled, "Indeed, indeed, I considered changing my name—the surname with the dirty Muggle mark... Voldemort, huh? Not bad at all, a wizard as outstanding as myself truly deserves this title!"

Harry understood.

It seems, this fragment within the Soul Artifact does not know where Voldemort is now.

This made Harry lose the desire to continue asking.

"To thank you for bringing me such joyful news," Riddle arrogantly laughed, "I’m willing to listen to your name, young wizard..."

"Harry Potter." Harry said, leaning on the door frame.

"Harry Potter?" Riddle was taken aback.

Then, he reacted.

"Impossible!" Riddle said, pointing at Harry: "Mr. Potter is a figure from decades ago, he disappeared decades ago! How could you be him! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"See, even when I say it, you don’t believe it."

As Harry spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Soon after, half of the office disappeared — truly disappeared, through the destroyed office walls, you could even see the swirling hurricane and countless star clouds.

Riddle’s expression changed.

"You... You are truly Harry Potter?" he stuttered, "Very... very honored, very honored, Mr. Potter—truly an honor to meet you—"

"You were so defiant before hearing my name," Harry said nonchalantly, "And after knowing my identity, you are humbled like this—it’s really laughable—"

Pretense then humility, isn’t it amusing?

After saying this, without waiting for Voldemort to say anything else, Harry snapped his fingers again.

Riddle’s soul fragment, along with the entire Hogwarts Castle, dissipated into the world, turning into ashes.

Then, he exited the spiritual world.

"How was it, Harry?" Dumbledore asked with concern, stepping forward.

Vivi held the magic wand, pushing Dumbledore aside disdainfully.

Dumbledore immediately understood what his sister-in-law meant.

This should be my question first, Dumbledore!

"Not bad." Harry smiled at Vivi, reached out and grabbed Hufflepuff’s Golden Cup: "See, the dark magic mark on it has disappeared... This method indeed works, and it won’t harm its essence."

"What about that blood curse orc then?" Vivi asked thoughtfully, "I asked Gellert, and he said... he knows that blood curse orc too..."

"Yes, I know him."

Gellert suddenly poked his head out from behind the curtains: "Aha—Potter! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, how have you been lately, Gael?" Harry greeted very coolly.

Gellert tugged at the corner of his mouth.

What’s with this growing brother-in-law vibe!?

"Yes, Nagini." Gellert walked over, sat down, crossed his hands and said: "You see—I once adopted a child, his name was Credence Barrybone—oh, perhaps he has another name, Aurilius Dumbledore, he’s a Silent One, and he happened to have a soulmate named Nagini."

"I’m afraid it wasn’t adoption, Gellert." Dumbledore refuted.

"It was adoption." Gellert retorted without backing down, "Wasn’t it because you abandoned him first? Don’t tell me you were very righteous, Albus—you left him in the Muggle’s house, that Muggle woman named... oh right, Mary Lou Barrybone, she led New York’s anti-magic organization New Salem Philanthropic Society, always trying to expose the magical world."

"In her view, Credence’s mother was an ’evil, abnormal woman’, do you know why Credence became a Silent One? All thanks to her! I know, Credence constantly suffered physical and psychological abuse, always suppressing his magical ability. Mary Lou often made him take off his belt and used it to whip his hand! I rescued him!"

Dumbledore opened his mouth.

"In fact, you only did that because he was a Silent One, Gellert." he said, "After the Silent One attacked Mary Lou, you thought Modesty was the Silent One you were looking for. After confirming Modesty’s whereabouts, you immediately abandoned Credence, saying he was a Dud, didn’t you?"

"I don’t deny it." Gellert said leisurely, "I admit I made mistakes, but what about you? Do you admit you’ve made mistakes?"

Harry, who was eating melon on the side, always felt that Gellert was increasingly unlike the dark wizard leader who ruled decades ago.

But there was nothing unacceptable about it since he now had a sister supporting him, so carefree and being a joker was pretty good.

"You two, can you not quarrel like an old couple here?" Vivi said with thin anger, "If you want to argue, go outside, come back when you’re done!"
