Huckleton's hands clutched in mid-air, expressing his excitement: "Let's go now!"
Howl shook his head and stood up: "No rush."
Saying that, he looked at Charon.
"First, let our friend prepare a Portkey for us to the same destination as that fellow. We'll be back in a moment!"
Charon touched his forehead with two fingers, then lightly let go, nodding amiably yet seriously: "As you command, Captain."
Howl's eyebrows raised slightly, a little surprised. This guy's mental fortitude was truly impressive. No wonder he could continue to drink and do business leisurely in Greece after being wanted by the United States.
"Should I contact the people in Turkey in advance now?" Charon asked, then quickly added, "It would also be a good gesture to them."
"No need, we'll be back soon." Howl waved his hand and led the others out.
"First, take me to Jason Williams's house to take a look." Howl said to Loreton, "Did he investigate his house?"
"No, no search warrant…" Loreton shook his head, a bit embarrassed.
"His mother was frantic, but she was also wary and disliked us… We only stayed in the living room for a while before being kicked out."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
These obstacles were like a plastic fishing net; with just a small knife, one could easily cut through and pass them.
But it was just… disgusting and time-consuming.
And time was the most crucial part of an investigation.
"Let's go, Apparate us over." Howl nodded, looking at Loreton.
"Okay." Loreton nodded, and the few of them linked arms. The next moment, the sound of space twisting rang out.
The tearing sensation in his right hand the moment they Apparated immediately made Loreton realize something was terribly wrong.
What kind of weight was this?!
It was like swimming while dragging a large stone!!
When they appeared, he immediately fell to the ground, clutching his head, constantly retching.
"I forgot to tell you… it's best to take people in batches." Howl shook his head helplessly, then looked at the grey-bricked, red-doored mansion in front of them.
"Is this it?"
"Ugh… Yes… Yes." Loreton propped himself up, nodding repeatedly.
Howl nodded, walked up the steps, and gently knocked on the door.
A moment later, he sensed a peering gaze from the peephole, and then with a click, the door opened.
"Why are you here again!" An old woman rushed out, cursing, her gaze fixed on Loreton, then looking at the others with ill intent.
"Silence!" Howl raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
Immediately, the old woman's harsh accusations suddenly caught in her throat, as if her windpipe had been suddenly squeezed.
"Can you let us in to take a look?" Howl said.
The words, imbued with magic, invaded her brain, easily dismantling her fragile defenses.
Howl wasn't too excessive; he merely calmed the old woman down.
"Okay… Okay." The old woman stepped aside, somewhat dazed, allowing them to enter.
"Imperio?! You're breaking the law!!" Loreton roared softly, a vein throbbing on his forehead.
He felt that in just two days, his bottom line had been continuously breached.
"Slander. Clearly, this old woman saw that I wasn't a good… not a bad person, which is why she let me in. Which eye did you see me casting a spell with?"
