Chapter 387 - The Unfortunate Night Pt 2 (1/2)
”Mal!” Fergus checked Malgino for injuries but when he found none, he hugged him tightly. ”You are alright.”
”Yes, I am now. Thank you,” Malgino lightly patted Fergus on the back and curiously looked around the room. ”Better than alright. Whatever you did, made me what I always wanted.”
Fergus stepped back and looked at Malgino, surprised. Despite Malgino's broad smile, Fergus felt something off.
”What do you mean?”
”Don't you feel the power, Gus?” Malgino stared at his hands with wonder and smiled. ”I can do anything. Anything, Gus.. Don't you see this energy? This limitless energy.”
”I — what?” Fergus was confused. Yes, Malgino was glowing with power but Fergus thought it was because he was healed. Now that Malgino mentioned it, Fergus realized it wasn't the case.
”Gus, look at me. I have finally achieved it. Because of you, Gus. Because of you, I have achieved unlimited power,” Malgino grinned at Fergus. ”I always wonder how to exceed the limit of wizards. You already were one of a kind, Gus. But I also needed one, so that we can finally save the wizardkind and all magical beings from those filthy humans. And now that I have finally exceeded my limit —”
”Calm down, Mal,” Fergus said taken aback by Malgino's excitement and plans. But Fergus knew Malgino always had a habit of going overboard. ”You just got stabbed. You need to tell me what happen there, then we can go to Mama, tell her what Ryan did. I think you are just buzzing with energy, right now. Settle down a little then we will talk about this — this plan of yours.”
”No.” Malgino's smile disappeared as soon as he heard Fergus.
”What do you mean no?”
”We are not going to your mother about Ryan.” Malgino looked serious.
”What? Why? Ryan stabbed you. He needs to be sentenced —”
”Your mother is not going to sentence Ryan anything, Gus.”
”Why wouldn't she? If you are thinking it's because she is close to Ryan, then you are wrong. My Mama is and always has been unbiased towards her decisions, Mal and —” Fergus tried to explain but Malgino interrupted him again.
”That's the problem. She is unbiased. After your mother knows what I have done, she probably won't take my side and I will not take my chances.”
Fergus froze and stared at Malgino, shocked. He was almost afraid to ask but he did.
”What did you do?”
”I took your and your mother's blood for my experiment to recreate your regeneration process,” Malgino replied, unafraid.
”You—what?”
”Ryan found out and thought I was trying to become immortal, using the Queen's blood. You don't know but it's actually a crime to take the vampire monarch's blood without her knowledge,” Malgino looked calm and fearless as he spoke. ”After Ryan discovered about my experiment, he followed me and tried to kill me. No, your mother won't be in my favor when Ryan shows her the pages of my experiment. I have to deal with him myself.”
Fergus stared at the ground, he had no idea what was happening. What Malgino did? Why he did it? What did Fergus himself do? What was going to happen now? And most importantly, why did Malgino looked so unbothered about it?
”Mal, we can talk to mother. I am sure she will forgive you.”
”You don't understand, do you, Gus?” Malgino smiled but there was no warmth in that smile. ”I don't need her forgiveness. I don't need her help to be great, anymore. With this power, you have given me, I can do anything. I can achieve everything I have always dreamed of. I can rule the wizarding world and the humans. We don't have to hide anymore. I can be the founders' successor of power. And all the power in the world.”
”Founders' successor?” Fergus blinked.
”Yes, the founders have stored their power in Hogwarts. After they are gone, their successor can unlock the power and access it. Though, the power I am feeling right now, I don't think I need the founders' power anymore,” Malgino laughed. ”But I have spent too much time and plans on it to not to get it.”
”Mal? What are you — you are — you are not sounding like yourself,” Fergus said, alarmed.
”You don't believe me?” Malgino said surprised. ”Ah, I always wanted to keep you out of it, Gus. Because you were too good for this world. But they were not. The ones the founders considered to be their successors. Helena is a bitch, she never deserved the power just because her mother was a founder. The baron? He was just powerful but mindless. And don't get me started on who Helga chose. I had high hopes from Gryffindor but he considered his sister and a nobody, rather than you. Nobody, I repeat, nobody considered the brightest student of their school. I mean, who would think about a poor farmer boy when you have so many good candidates? Even though that boy had repeatedly proved how skillful he is and how stupid their other chosen ones were. But now I can easily turn the tables. I can take that power from them. I don't even need to ask for it.”
”You are talking about my father, Mal,” Fergus whispered. He still didn't want to believe Malgino was going to do something bad, intentionally.
