" Tom asked, puzzled.
"What's the point of him trying to win us over?"
Tom asked, puzzled.
"We're just two underage wizards!"
"Tom, if we were insignificant, Dumbledore wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to send us to the safe house."
Levid shrugged, then continued, "It's just that we still don't know what he wants from us..."
"He actually dared to send these things to us... Isn't he afraid that we'd give them to Dumbledore and thwart his plans?"
Tom asked.
"Tom, you're playing dumb too much... Don't you know the reason?"
Tom, upon hearing this, didn't ask any more questions.
According to Anne, this kind of magical power was what Levid and Tom were striving for. How could they possibly tell Dumbledore?
Grindelwald felt comfortable sending these things because he believed he had grasped Levid and Tom's desire for power.
Levid looked at the two small balls in front of him, feeling delighted.
Two were sent back, which meant that the other one must have been opened by Grindelwald.
In other words, Grindelwald must have fully realized the effect of this power... He must have taken the bait!
Tom suddenly looked at Levitra suspiciously.
This time, he didn't ask nonsense questions, but asked the key point!
"Since he sent these things, doesn't it mean... these 'fakes' of yours have fooled Grindelwald?
Didn't you say that your 'fakes' can only fool Anne, but not Grindelwald? Why..."
"Oh, Tom, you're smart again... Well, wait a minute, let me think about it.
Oh, right, this is because technology will improve!
Those that couldn't fool Grindelwald before, these now can fool him!"
"You were making up excuses just now, right? Damn... You can't even bear to make up a reason to lie to me in advance?!"
"No."
"In other words, those so-called 'fakes' you gave to Anne to absorb before were all real?!"
"You misunderstood."
"Ved!
I won't believe you anymore!"
Tom grabbed a small ball angrily, turned around and left, not even wanting to care about other Christmas gifts.
This time, Tom was practically livid.
He'd originally thought Anne had absorbed a fake, and was feeling sorry for her.
Who would have thought... the clown was actually me?!
Thinking about how he'd so eagerly given her the real thing earlier, Tom regretted it to bits!
"Tom..."
"Hmph!"
Tom ignored Levitra and started up the stairs.
"Come on."
Tom turned and saw Levitra tossing another metal ball towards him.
Tom quickly caught it.
"W-what are you doing?"
Tom stared in shock at the other ball Levitra had thrown.
What if it broke?
What a waste of treasure!
"You take it all," Levitra said nonchalantly.
"You...you don't want it?"
Tom suddenly became suspicious.
By then, he'd finally recovered from his fury and noticed something was amiss.
Didn't Levitra crave power?
Why was he so uninterested in something like this that could enhance his strength?
Not only had he generously given all the ones he'd found to Anne, but now he was giving his share to himself?
Could it be that he'd already absorbed enough during his earlier, secret investigation?
No! Tom rejected this possibility.
While Levitra's strength remained formidable compared to him, there was no sign of a sudden increase!
He was well aware of how Annie's sudden increase in strength had been after absorbing this magical power.
If Levitra had also absorbed it, and absorbed a large amount, there wouldn't have been any signs of it.
"Why don't you want it?
Does this magical power really have any side effects?"
Tom asked gravely.
Levitra sneered, "A truly powerful person would never bother using these external things to become stronger."
"Hmph, I knew it.
There must be side effects!"
Tom's expression was astonished.
"I told you I'm not using it because I don't want to. How could there be any side effects?"
Levitra frowned.
"If it has no side effects, how could you be willing to give it to me?"
Tom sneered.
"How did you suddenly become so clever?
Well, use it if you want," Levitra said grumpily.
While the residue had side effects, that only applies if you absorb a large amount.
If it's just a little bit, it's not enough to become addictive.
On the contrary, it can increase strength.
Since Tom doesn't want it, forget it.
Seeing Li Weide's expression, Tom became suspicious again.
After struggling for a long time, he finally walked over and put both balls back in front of Li Weide.
Since you can't make up your mind... then it depends on what Li Weide does.
Since Li Weide doesn't want to use it, then he won't use it either.
This is the safest way!
"Incredible, Tom, you can now resist the temptation of power!"
"Humph..."Reluctantly, Tom stood up, clutching his present, and slowly unwrapped it in another corner of the living room.
Of course, he didn't look back the entire time, fearing that if he saw the two little balls, he'd be overwhelmed by his urge again...
Levid chuckled softly. If this Tom could finally grow up, he'd surely be far more formidable than Voldemort.
Because, despite the hardships, he had indeed learned that most difficult quality... restraint!
Levid turned around and began unwrapping his present again.
Opening presents at Christmas is actually a great opportunity to sort out one's personal relationships.
After all, only those with whom one has a connection, or who crave a connection, will give one a gift.
This is also his network.
Levid soon discovered the gift from the Malfoys. It wasn't from Abramovich, but... from Abramovich's father.
It was a priceless, ornate cane, the handle of which could be detached, revealing a wonderful wand handle.
In other words, a beautiful cane that could conceal a wand.
"Tsk, tsk, this Malfoy family, their tastes really haven't changed much over the generations."
Despite his complaints, Levid happily accepted the gift, as it signified the Malfoys' complete surrender.
Levid then discovered gifts from other pure-blood families, all of which were priceless.
Clearly, the Malfoys had passed on something to them.
Levid replied to each of these surrendered families with a simple Christmas card.
Christmas cards weren't worth much; a single silver Sickle could buy a whole bunch.
However, Levid replied to each one, signifying that he, or rather, the "family power" behind him, accepted their surrender, a gift of immense significance to these fence-sitting pure-blood families.
Then, Levid opened Dumbledore's gift.
It was a manual on Transfiguration that he had personally compiled
. While it no longer held much practical value for Levid, it did provide him with an excuse to use Dumbledore's unique Transfiguration technique in the future.
Professor Slughorn's gift was still simple and unassuming: a full bottle of Felix Felicis...
Although Levander already had Felix Felicis, he loved it more!
Even if he couldn't use much himself, selling it would still bring him a fortune!
Professor Slughorn was truly exceptionally kind to Levander.
Of course, as a prominent figure at the school, Levander received gifts from other professors besides these two.
Besides these professors and the gifts from the pure-blood families, the other gifts were much more ordinary.
However, Levander seemed even happier, as these people were members of his club and, strictly speaking, the foundation of his future fortune...Of course, Levander had invested heavily in these gifts to reassure them.
By the time Levander finished opening the gifts, it was already noon.
Tom had already finished opening his presents and had been watching Levander do so, feeling a pang of sadness.
He usually managed the club, but these guys... only gave him a few cards.
The best gift was a snack box from Annie...
And what about the gifts they sent Levi?
It was either all sorts of fun wizard toys or all sorts of delicious treats...
Comparing yourself to others is always frustrating...
"Hmph... finished opening?
You're exhausted!"
Levid said cheerfully.
"Actually, it wasn't tiring at all!"
He then tied a pink bow on Nagini's snake head.
"Nagini, this is my Christmas present for you!"
Levid casually took a mirror and placed it in front of Nagini.
Nagini looked at the bow with disdain, rubbing it against the table uncomfortably, but it didn't come off...
"Toby!
You have a present too."
"Toby... Toby has a present too?"
Toby, the house-elf, nearly fainted with happiness upon hearing this.
"Of course I do!"
Levid said, reaching into his pocket, pulling out a large gold ring, and tossing it over.
"Toby, as my personal butler, you need to look stylish! Put it on!"
Toby excitedly put the sparkling gold ring on his hand, and then he actually fainted from happiness...
"No... why does this ring look so familiar to me?"
Tom looked at the ring suspiciously.
"Well, of course, it's made from a ring passed down from the Gaunt family!
Anyway, the Resurrection Stone isn't going to be put back in, and you don't want it anymore.
Don't waste it! It's perfect for decorating my butler!"
"Fuck you... forget it... what about my gift?"
"Huh?"
"You... didn't you forget... I gave it to you!"
