Chapter 271 - Chapter 268

Roy sat in the shadowed corner of a small Diagon Alley alleyway, his eyes sharply observing the activity at Gringotts. Even though he was only fifteen, the aura of power surrounding him—now elevated to legend-level due to his advanced boost potions and mastery of both Zanpakutō techniques and Dark Phoenix bloodline—made him nearly invisible to ordinary wizarding detection.

He had already anticipated Voldemort's reaction to the leaks about the Veylorn family. The Dark Lord, enraged by the exposure of his teacher's manipulations, would stop at nothing to uncover and exploit every secret the Veylorns had hidden. And he had.

The previous days had confirmed Roy's suspicions: Death Eaters were busy extracting the black history of the Veylorn family from archives, Gringotts vaults, and private collections. The release of this information had already crippled the Veylorn family's political power by nearly half across the wizarding world, sending the ancient lineage into a panic. Roy, ever the strategist, knew this was the perfect moment to intervene.

Disguised as one of the subordinates of a Death Eater, Roy approached Voldemort and his assembled followers. His eyes glinted coldly beneath the hood of his disguise as he listened to the orders being given: vaults in Diagon Alley were to be raided, and every ounce of gold, artifact, and sensitive document was to be seized for the Dark Lord's purposes.

Roy followed the group into Gringotts, careful to blend into the chaos. As the Death Eaters executed their violent raid—some killing goblins who resisted, others ransacking vaults—Roy moved silently, his senses and system-enhanced abilities scanning every corner.

He struck quickly, but unseen:

Malfoy Vault—emptied and stored safely in Roy's system storage.

Nott Vault—extracted without leaving a trace.

Parkinson Vault—secured with a perfect illusion over the original entrance.

Veylorn Vault—carefully secured; the treasure, histories, and magical artifacts of the family were now hidden beyond the reach of both Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

Carrow Vault—also silently transported into Roy's system.

Yaxley Vault—added to the growing collection under Roy's control.

To maintain the illusion, Roy created illusory bags filled with the treasures the Death Eaters thought they had successfully taken. Every Death Eater, believing their haul was secured, continued with their looting, oblivious to the fact that the real valuables had vanished into a space outside their comprehension.

Roy allowed the illusion to play out perfectly, making it appear as though the treasures were being taken to Knockturn Alley, ensuring that even if any Death Eater or spy attempted to investigate, the trail would lead only to the alley's shadows.

Once the operation was complete, Roy silently exited Gringotts. The cacophony of chaos continued behind him, but his exit was undetected. By the time Voldemort's attention turned to verifying the vaults, the treasures were already safe in Roy's system storage, beyond any magical detection of the Dark Lord or his followers.

Returning to Valvas Mansion, Roy allowed himself a rare smile. His plan had succeeded: the Veylorn family secrets remained safe, the Death Eaters were none the wiser, and Voldemort's frustration would continue to grow as he attempted to recover what he thought was stolen.

Roy knew the next phase of his strategy would require patience and precision. Cassian Veylorn's manipulations, Voldemort's fury, and the fragile political balance of the wizarding world were all pieces on the same board—and Roy was already ten moves ahead.

System Task Notification:Task: Monitor and counteract Death Eater operations on Veylorn family assets.Reward: 3 Advanced Boost Potions (already claimed, increasing Roy's power from Grandmage to Legend).

Roy leaned back in his chair, sipping a delicate blend of Chinese and Japanese tea, and allowed himself a rare moment of satisfaction. The wizarding world was a chessboard, and he was now the player no one could outmaneuver.
