The Little Superman of Hogwarts
#177 - Chapter 177 [Summer Vacation Ends]
The witch had been living in Italy for many years, using puppetry and other spells to deceive many people. In their eyes, she commanded a massive underworld organization of over 1,000 people.
This organization usually didn't do anything too extreme, just collecting protection fees and the like. To some extent, these underworld organizations even maintained some order in the underground world.
The witch had recently been lacking some materials, and these materials were very expensive. Therefore, she set her sights on the Cree family's store.
She first pretended to be a core member of a large organization, went to a small organization, and hired real killers. Finally, she had these killers carry out the plan against Henry's store.
And inside Henry's store, she arranged for another group of people.
It must be said that the witch's level was quite high; her IQ had surpassed at least 99% of underworld bosses.
Cree controlled all these gang members and used his Superman strength to send them to the police station.
As for the witch, Cree contacted the local Italian Ministry of Magic. The Italian Ministry of Magic was much less efficient than the British one; it wasn't until two days later that the witch was arrested.
After the witch was finally arrested, Cree, Hermione, and Ginny all felt empty.
The matter was resolved so quickly that Cree and the others were a little taken aback.
The three had originally thought it would be a severe test. They didn't expect it to be completed so easily.
The three simply boarded the Eurostar train and went directly to the Italian beach.
For the trio, this anticlimactic operation was indeed a bit disappointing.
It must be said that Hermione and Ginny in their swimsuits were very eye-catching.
After the gang was cleared out, no one dared to interfere with the operation of Henry's store.
In the eyes of other local troublemakers, Henry's store could handle such a large gang, so dealing with these small fries would be too easy.
So, very unexpectedly, after Henry's store was renovated and reopened, business far exceeded the original level.
By the time it reopened, a month had passed, and Cree had already returned to England.
His summer vacation was quite fulfilling. He helped his mother deal with some troubles. He helped Mr. Collins deal with some matters at the Arcane Association headquarters. He arranged the work for the Biological Research Institute for the next few years.
Harry's summer vacation was not bad (relatively speaking), but of course, it was not as good as life at Hogwarts.
As the summer vacation was about to end, Cree finally found some new tasks for the trio:
Clean up petty theft and any illegal infringements in London!
Assigning this kind of work to Hermione and Ginny was, of course, a bit of an overkill. So Cree immediately made a request.
"Hogwarts' rules state that underage wizards are not allowed to use magic anywhere other than school!" Cree explained with a smile, "So, for the work I've arranged for you, you can't use any magic to complete it."
"Can't use any magic?" Ginny and Hermione exclaimed at the same time.
"Magic is, of course, the most important tool for wizards, but wizards have many other useful things besides magic! For example... potions!" Cree explained, while aiming his eyes at Ginny.
Ginny instantly understood Cree's meaning—many potions can achieve effects similar to magic without using magic.
"Besides potions, our own strength might also be used as a tool!" Saying this, Cree looked at Hermione again.
What Cree was referring to here was the power in Hermione's body. Hermione now possessed 1% of Superman's power. Don't look down on this small number, but its absolute value exceeded 6 tons. It had already surpassed the strength of an adult African elephant!
So, during this second-year summer vacation, the new Hogwarts trio carried out a major cleanup of the entire London.
Without using any magic, only using physical strength or the power of potions, it was roughly like this: first, find those who needed to be dealt with, and at the appropriate time, use potions or direct physical attacks.
After these people finally admitted their crimes, they were sent to the police station.
The number of criminals arrested by all the police stations in London doubled, and the entire London underworld began to circulate a mysterious legend from this summer vacation.
There was a person in London wearing a red cloak and blue clothes who would act chivalrously late at night, and sometimes they would even act during the day.
The crime rate throughout London visibly dropped by a large margin.
In this world, many things follow the Pareto principle.
What is the Pareto principle?
It means that something can be divided into two parts, 20% and 80%, according to a certain path.
For example, social wealth: the top 20% of people control 80% of the total social wealth. This wealth does not necessarily refer to money; it may also be some assets or intangible things.
And this principle is also effective on criminals. Suppose this society has 100 serious crimes in ten years.
In fact, these 100 crimes are committed by 20 people, each committing 4 times. And the other twenty serious crimes are only formed sporadically.
20% of the criminals affect 80% of the people in the entire society. As long as the 20% of these criminals who are habitual offenders are brought to justice.
Then the public security level of the entire society will increase by 80% in an instant. The result of an 80% increase in public security level can be seen by anyone who is not blind.
So, in the feeling of the entire city of London, the recent month and a half was the safest month in the entire British Isles.
Of course, the price for this was that Cree and the others were almost exhausted.
Sometimes they would catch criminals and take them to the police station, but the next day they would find that those criminals had reappeared on the streets.
So, Cree certainly knew that the chiefs of these police stations must have some kind of deal with those criminals.
The next morning, these police chiefs would be stripped naked and hung upside down at the entrance of the police station.
So, on the third day, those criminals were caught again, and this time the police station did not dare to release them again...
Of course, such things were, after all, in the minority. In London, the vast majority of people still had a sense of justice. Most police stations were very grateful for the actions of Cree and the others.
Cree and the others would always leave their names behind when they acted—[Superman].
So, the matter of a mysterious Superman existing in London gradually spread.
