Chapter 387

【Ding, a scene where the Saint Father System can be utilized has been detected around the host. A temporary mission is now issued: speak a bunch of lies in a stuttering tone, and after finishing, look at Fudge with a bitter smile and an expression seeking his approval.】

【Ding, upon completion of the mission, you will receive 'Umbridge's Delusion'. Does the host accept the mission?】

Ah, this...

The system was thinking the same thing as him.

He had originally intended to accept all the most serious accusations and then push them onto Fudge in the end.

Those students were all able to see their parents in advance; clearly, Fudge had taken money.

Since he had taken the money, it was only natural to threaten this poor little thing.

That was why he had acted as if he were scared off by Fudge at the entrance of the courtroom.

Look, he had even found an excuse for Fudge.

He hadn't expected the system to think the same way he did.

It was just that he didn't know what kind of reward 'Umbridge's Delusion' was.

【Accept!】

Seeing that Fudge was already anxiously waiting for his answer, Darren hurriedly clicked to accept.

He couldn't keep the Minister waiting, after all!

He lowered his head, and his face turned even paler; he seemed to think for quite a while before remembering how to answer.

"I used... I used a large-scale Apparition spell. I... I read about this spell in a book.

As long as you think of the destination, you can transport people away... So that's the magic I used to get all of them out..."

He spoke stutteringly, and the words that came out were simply indescribably ridiculous.

Because it was completely nonsensical, like an answer cobbled together on the spot.

Fudge was stunned, because he didn't even dare to think about whether he should help Darren correct his mistake.

While he was silent, he didn't notice at all that Darren had already cast his gaze toward him.

Upon finding that he had no reaction, Darren's face turned even paler, drained of all color, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

As if he had recalled some terrifying consequence.

Could it be...

Everyone looked at Fudge.

Could it be that Fudge forced this child to say that?

【Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. You have received the reward: Umbridge's Delusion.】

Umbridge's Delusion: Umbridge always treats you as one of her own.

The moment you look at Fudge, Umbridge seems to understand something.

Whatever you do, in her eyes, it is always done at the Minister's instruction.

Of course, if you do something too outrageous, Umbridge might question your intelligence.

Uh.

Fine!

So that's what this delusion is.

And if he does something outrageous, he'll be suspected of low intelligence by Umbridge.

Darren mocked the toad's intelligence, then suddenly thought, if in the fifth year, Umbridge really came to Hogwarts like in the original story.

Perhaps... he could become the person Umbridge trusts most?

This is truly outrageous!

Of course, the trial is the most important thing right now.

Fudge had already come back to his senses.

His expression was a bit disillusioned.

He had already determined that Darren was indeed a victim and would not be a little Death Eater.

His previous little schemes had completely collapsed.

But now he faced a problem: he had to make Darren change what he had said earlier.

If they put these words into the Daily Prophet according to Darren's confession, he might lose the Ministry of Magic's face entirely.

And then be driven out of office by the competitors under him.

On the grounds that he was like a fool.

Damn it!

He felt extremely angry.

How did it suddenly turn out like this?

If he had known, he wouldn't have let Darren Potter come up for the trial; this Darren Potter is simply toxic!

The kindness that previously made him think he could cause trouble for Dumbledore had now completely become his death sentence.

In order to get Darren to change his testimony, he forced out a kind smile and said, "The spell you mentioned cannot let those Death Eaters go, so stop joking!"

"Minister, I am not joking, I am the one who deliberately let those people go...

I am a sinner, arrest me!"

【Ding, Saint Father points +60】

【Ding, Saint Father points +70】

【Ding, Saint Father points +60】

【Ding...】

Darren accepted the Saint Father points and said painfully.

The self-abandonment on his face was so heavy that it was impossible for anyone to ignore his mood.

Only then did they remember that Darren had just experienced a war that could be considered quite significant in the wizarding world.

Nine wizards had died.

He himself was seriously injured; how could he not be sad?

The Auror Office provides psychological counseling after every battle.

Darren is still just a child!

That he blames the deaths of others on himself is exactly a manifestation of his grief.

They shouldn't be interrogating him at a time like this.

It's just, why didn't the six students next to Darren show such behavior?

It was precisely because of the performance of those six students that they felt this matter wasn't that big.

Or rather, they felt that this incident didn't have much of an impact on these children.

Who knew that Darren was not like that at all.

Compared to those people, they all thought of a sentence: only kind people are ever sad, only they feel guilt.

Fudge was also a little moved.

But after being moved, there was deep speechlessness.

What was he supposed to do?

This Darren Potter's kindness sickness had flared up; how was he supposed to explain it to the outside world?

Should he tell the public that because he didn't have anyone provide psychological counseling for this child, the child now has serious psychological problems?

And that this child wants to take all the blame upon himself?

If he said that, he, Fudge, would definitely be blamed by Dumbledore; Dumbledore and his lot had been unhappy with him for a long time.

Fudge believed that Dumbledore wanted to take him down whenever he had the chance, just as he felt about Dumbledore.
