Chapter 535 Complicated Events

Bai Bai Le Kai Shui
As soon as they got off the plane, Tver and Malvolio met the agents who claimed to be the Greek government. Seeing their serious faces, the two of them got into a car with a lot of fun.
It's the kind of business car where you can't see anyone waiting to chat with you when you stand outside.
"Nice to meet you, Turville Foley and Mr. Malvolio." Before the two of them could sit down, a young man in a suit said solemnly.
The seats in the back seat were adjusted into two rows of seats facing each other, and the man had been sitting in the opposite seat, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
"I am the chief assistant to Mr. Prime Minister. You can call me Simitis."
"It seems that your Greek government likes to express its happiness in this sudden way?" Malvolio sat carelessly, grinning without any scruples on his face.
Tver casually looked at the layout of the car and the black headset his assistant had been wearing.
He was sure that all the conversations here would be transmitted verbatim to the Prime Minister's ears on the other side of the bug!
Simitis didn't care about his sarcasm, but lowered his head slightly as an apology for his rude behavior.
"Please forgive me, before the Prime Minister receives your guests, I have to make sure that I have not picked up the wrong person. After all, your methods are far more... magical than we imagined."
There was a flash of fear in his eyes, and even though it was quickly covered up, it was still captured by Tweel and Malvolio.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
Tver also thought that this incident was either a result of the people in power unable to suppress their inner desires, or a political opponent causing a stumbling block for the current prime minister.
But looking at the chief assistant's attitude, it seems that not only does it not look like a Muggle attack on wizards, but it looks like...
"Has a wizard threatened you?" Tver asked simply.
Not only does he show his neutral and objective attitude and dispel the Prime Minister's concerns, it also shows his strength and he doesn't care about other wizards!
The Wizards' Federation naturally has warnings against the Muggle regime, but with Babajid's cautious and careful character, he would not do anything that would make people fearful.
"Then I have to ask you, Mr. Wizard."
Simitis raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, with a sense of being angry but afraid to speak, but Tver had already got the information he wanted.
"Then let's talk about it. Why would a wizard throw the sleeping Prime Minister into the street and leave a warning?"
Tver crossed his hands on his knees, and Simitis, who was originally sent to probe his attitude, became the one being probed.
"I never told you..."
Simitis was so surprised that he almost stood up, but only when his head almost hit the roof of the car did he realize that they were still on their way to the secret meeting room.
"I don't know how you know about this, but since you asked directly, there is no need for me to continue to hide it."
He took a deep breath to adjust his somewhat panicked breathing, and it seemed that he got some instructions from his headset.
"Yes, on the night after the murder, a wizard suddenly appeared in the prime minister's bedroom and then suddenly took him to a road full of speeding cars."
"The wizard didn't do anything extra to Mr. Prime Minister. He just left a message, 'This is a warning to you about harming wizards,' and then disappeared again..."
"This sounds very much like what Death Eaters do." Malvolio couldn't help but complain.
Of course, Death Eaters usually do this to threaten other wizards, and their treatment of Muggles is not so kind.
Themitis frowned, but did not struggle with Malvolio's interruption, nor did he ask what Death Eater meant.
"Both of you, I know that the Wizards Federation you represent is supposed to maintain the order of the two worlds-"
"He is, I am not." Malvolio waved his hand quickly to put the trouble away.
He finally understood that this must involve the complex and fragile relationship between wizards and Muggles. This kind of headache should be left to Tver himself to solve!
"...It doesn't matter." Simitis was speechless for a while, but Malvolio's lazy attitude made him feel more relaxed.
"But no matter what, I hope you can know that the Prime Minister is always willing to maintain a friendly and cooperative relationship with wizards!"
Regardless of his previous attitude, after experiencing such a shock, the Prime Minister did not dare to look at Tver, who was obviously higher in rank...
Moreover, Greece has a parliamentary system. Although the prime minister has actual power, he is still influenced by the parliament and political parties.
They will not allow the Prime Minister to have a power that can distort their ideas!
Therefore, maintaining the status quo is what the Prime Minister wants to see.
It's just that things went against expectations. The newly appointed Prime Minister this year encountered such a thing...
"In other words, the poisoning of the wizard did not come from the Prime Minister or any of you at all?"
"Yes." Simitis nodded firmly.
Of course, this was what the Prime Minister told him. As for whether it was the truth or not, he could only stick to this idea.
Tver withdrew his probing eyes and began to think about this incident that was getting more and more complicated, but seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.
The most interesting one should be the wizard who warned the Prime Minister.
If this was an Auror, then it's impossible that he didn't know that this was a clear violation of the rules. Doing such a thing was just to vent his anger?
No, if he is really so good with the wizard of death, he will definitely not mind using a hidden method to kill the Prime Minister. There is no need to use such a clumsy warning method!
So, this is... making excuses?
Before Tver's thoughts could unfold, the car slowly stopped.
"You two, the Prime Minister is waiting for you inside."
Simitis took the lead in opening the car door and walked out, allowing Tver to see the inconspicuous little house in front of him.
If he hadn't noticed that there were at least twenty bodyguards hiding around him, and even a sniper rifle aimed at him, Tver would have thought that this was an ordinary villa in the countryside.
But just when his indifferent eyes crossed the thick woods and looked at the sniper, Simitis blocked his sight.
"I'm sorry, because of what happened before, we had to increase the security here. We didn't mean to target you."
If Tver hadn't noticed, of course he wouldn't have done it, but the problem was that even though he had infinitely improved Tver's ability in his heart, he still underestimated Tver!
"I intend to target all wizards."
Malvolio said with a grin, looking like a rebellious little brother under the black boss.
It's the kind of business car where you can't see anyone waiting to chat with you when you stand outside.
"Nice to meet you, Turville Foley and Mr. Malvolio." Before the two of them could sit down, a young man in a suit said solemnly.
