Karkaroff was dragged away.

He is still alive.

Because Barty Jr. and the other Death Eaters who had been in Azkaban unanimously decided to keep Karkaroff and torture him.

They can't die until they feel that Karkaroff has paid off the blood debt he deserves!

And along with Karkaroff's screams gradually faded away.

Voldemort also returned to his seat.

"As I just said, the war has begun." Voldemort grinned and took out a crystal ball. "I have obtained the prophecy ball and the complete version of that prophecy.

To be honest, I was quite shocked and even more angry at the contents!

Because it reveals all the reasons why we have failed before - Harry Potter!"

Death Eaters, you look at me and I look at you, their expressions are a little confused, but not surprised.

"Of course you won't be surprised, because this is an obvious fact. However, your thinking direction is wrong..."

Voldemort continued, "The reason why we failed was not because we failed to get rid of Harry Potter in time, but precisely because we valued that Harry Potter too much!

The person who can defeat me was indeed born into a wizarding family at the end of July.

But the full version of the prophecy reveals another important condition.

That is, the child of prophecy needs to be marked as a powerful enemy by the Dark Lord, who is me.

Without this condition, it is not considered a child of prophecy.

This means that it is our attention to Harry Potter that makes him become the child of prophecy!

And if we turn a blind eye to him and ignore him completely.

Then, there is nothing remarkable about him.

So now, I think we should change our thinking."

Voldemort faced a pair of eyes full of surprise and shouted excitedly:

"Alex, I need you to work harder in the Ministry of Magic to erode and control more officials!

Lukewood, the same goes for you! There are many important secrets hidden in the Department of Mysteries, so do your best to find out! Don’t worry, just go for it, someone will cooperate with you!

Lucius, I need more resources!

Avery, I need more manpower, you must step up the recruitment of giants and other magical animals!

…”

Voldemort kept giving orders.

One Death Eater after another stood up excitedly and said yes.

It was not until the end that Voldemort looked at John, Bella and others and said:

"As for you, John, be prepared! The rest of you are the strongest and most loyal force in my hands! I need you to be ready at all times and go into battle the moment you receive my order!"

John's face was still indifferent and he nodded indifferently.

But Barty and Bella were so excited that they could hardly control themselves.

"Master, what should Dumbledore do? In my opinion, he is the biggest obstacle to our rise."

Snape's voice suddenly sounded, causing the originally feverish atmosphere in the living room to stagnate.

Voldemort turned his head, stared at Snape and said coldly:

"I have my own plan for him. You just have to do your own thing, Snape, continue to stay in Hogwarts and monitor Dumbledore!"

After saying this, Voldemort ignored Snape who bowed his head to express his surrender and directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Voldemort himself also left the living room.

This made the atmosphere at the scene even more heated.

Little Barty was walking with Bella and other Death Eaters who had been in Azkaban to the room where Karkaroff was kept.

As they walked, they were still discussing the punishment that would be used on Karkaroff later.

If it were just the Cruciatus Curse, it would be too monotonous and uncreative.

Many Death Eaters, like Lucius, who had betrayed Voldemort, left in a hurry as soon as the meeting ended.

However, more people still choose to stay.

They gathered together and quietly discussed something with solemn faces.

"It looks like the Dark Lord is trying to beat us."

Michael lit a pipe.

"This is normal. Managers should give their subordinates a beating from time to time to make them remember who is the boss." Alice said with a disdainful smile, "But this time he chose to punish Karkaroff and the guy named Gibbon. By the way,

This method of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys is too crude."

Michael nodded in agreement.

He had used similar methods on prisoners when he was an Auror.

The method is much more sophisticated.

Voldemort's crude performance just now may be useful to the Death Eaters with low intelligence, but it is absolutely ineffective against them.

"call--"

John took a deep breath, his expression a little unsightly.

His focus was not on Voldemort's method of killing chickens to scare monkeys.

But Voldemort has already obtained the prophecy ball!

This prophecy orb, if he remembered correctly, was hidden in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

It is enchanted, and only the parties involved in the prophecy, namely Voldemort and the son of the prophecy, can take it away.

In the original work, Voldemort defeated the power of nine bulls and two tigers, and finally failed to seize it.

But now, why did he get it so easily?

This gave John a vague feeling of uneasiness.

At this moment, Snape suddenly came to John.

He was silent for a while and said with a complicated expression:

"We need to talk."

John was also staring at Snape.

Hearing this, he nodded and said:

"No problem, come to my place, Professor Snape."

After saying that, John stood up and led Snape out of the living room.

Michael and Alice looked at each other and followed them with smiles.

…

at the same time.

Lucius and Narcissa were accompanying Draco, walking in a long corridor.

Their faces were full of panic, and their steps were deliberately very slow, as if they were deliberately delaying time and not wanting to meet something terrible.

However, no matter how long the corridor is, there will always be an end.

Finally, they arrived at a gate.

Lucius stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to knock on the door.

But before his hand touched the door, the door opened automatically.

"Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, and of course Draco, come in."

Voldemort's voice came from inside the door, causing Lucius and Narcissa to tremble.

They gritted their teeth and walked into the room with Draco, whose face was as pale as paper.

"Lord...Master, your humble servant sends you my regards."

Lucius fell to the ground, knelt in front of Voldemort, and kissed Voldemort's feet.

Narcissa also took Draco and knelt down behind Lucius.

"You are scared, I can feel it." Voldemort said quietly, "But in fact, you don't have to be like this. I am a tolerant person. You should know this, Lucius. After all, I even forgave you for your betrayal.

…”

Hearing this, Lucius trembled even more.

Voldemort's previous "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys" may not have scared John and others, but it really scared him!
