Chapter 590 From fear

In fact, Stephen knew one thing very well, he had no choice at all.

His roots come from the immigrant wizards who embraced him. But these immigrant wizards would not always support him alone. Moreover, if you want to sit in this position, you not only need the support of the people, but more importantly, you also need the approval of those in power.

He used his harmless attitude to become the Stephen recognized by others. But now he doesn't even have a chance to contact the two real people in power. At this time, Baite Enwei took the initiative to contact him, which was actually giving him a chance.

He accepted the other person's help and was willing to help the other person. But the doubts in my heart never disappeared.

Today, after being prodded by Gladys, he finally asked his question.

"Why...do we still need to ask why for this kind of thing?"

Baite Enwei looked surprised: "The weak obey the strong. Isn't this the most basic rule?"

Stephen is not a fool, and such an obvious lie cannot fool him.

"If possible, I still hope to hear the truth."

"That's the truth I'm telling you. We need you, Stephen. Because you're the only one of those people who's free."

To put it bluntly, if there was a choice, even Baxter Enwy would not choose Stephen, who is the most vulnerable among them all. The group of immigrant wizards itself is the most chaotic group, and Stephen is not a very charismatic person. The biggest asset of this old black man is that he has lived long enough, which is also the so-called seniority.

Relying on living long enough to gain enough power is not a rare thing in the powerful class. It can even be said to be the norm.

But for wizards, there is a possibility that they can come forward as early as possible. After all, no matter how the wizarding world looks at qualifications, they have to compare them based on qualifications when their strengths are similar. If there is no obvious contrast in strength, then comparing seniority is meaningless.

Therefore, Stephen does not have any outstanding advantages, and there are many people within the immigrant wizards who want to replace him. But in addition to his age, this old guy also has some knowledge in political tactics. Therefore, under his suppression, it is true that no other immigrant wizards have the opportunity to stand on a larger stage.

Therefore, Baxter Envi really has no other choice.

At this time, Stephen looked at Baite Enwei's old face, and nodded after a moment of silence: "Okay, this is your truth."

After all, he didn't choose to get to the bottom of it. In the end, it doesn't matter what Baxter Enwy thinks. After all, Stephen had no choice. Baxter Envi is the only one who accepts him so far. And he can't even see other people, let alone gain their trust.

"The last meeting of the Magic Congress was already in chaos. Everyone is now in line. And everyone's position is basically clear. So we need to be more proactive now and let the Magic Congress continue to be in chaos."

It would be best if the MAC cannot organize a complete counterattack or action. In this way, the public will soon lose confidence in a passive official organization.

"It's a pity that the person assigned to the front line turned out to be an abandoned son. He can be regarded as a young talent."

Stephen felt a little pity. At the very least it looks a bit pity. But he couldn't even remember the name of the knife he pushed out.

So he could only shake his head in regret.

"Your sacrifice will not be wasted. We have seized this opportunity, even to use it to fight back. You can go back to your work. You are more to us than you think, so your mission There is no room for error. We must unite the crusade to enter the United States and arouse the common hostility between local wizards and immigrant wizards against them."

And in the end, all they need to do is put all the blame on the Magic Congress, so that they can look forward to the scene of Grindelwald standing in front of the American wizards and leading them to fight back against the joint crusade.

In this way, the Saints can truly establish a foothold on the land of America.

Frankly speaking, the success rate of this plan is indeed high. But whether it can be achieved, and how much it can be achieved, all depends on the collective operation. The first thing is to make the joint crusade force sufficiently annoying, arrogant, and unbridled.

Stephen's next step is to remove the shackles of the joint crusade as much as possible and let them do whatever they want on American soil.

Gladys's previous speech did touch him a bit. But those touches were not enough to make him really abandon his short-term future and his little life. He is getting older, and now he wants to spend the last years of his life in peace.

Of course, the stability here is not simply safety and stability. It is security and stability on the premise of having sufficiently favorable living conditions, a good material foundation and a fulfilling spiritual world.

A good material foundation naturally depends on gold galleons, and a fulfilling spiritual world certainly requires power.

At least in Stephen's perception, this is what the world is like.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take a gamble with Baite Envi. Because if he didn't take a gamble, he would be pretty sure that he would be eliminated, so naturally he wouldn't be able to get what he wanted.

After Stephen left, an old man walked into the room. He looked at Baite Enwei who was manicuring his nails in his seat and asked with some confusion: "Actually, I also want to ask. What are you eating?" What medicine was wrong? Why are you suddenly so loyal to Grindelwald?"

To be honest, with the way Baxter Enwy was tortured by Grindelwald, unless Baxter Enwy was a jerk, he couldn't think of any possibility of Baxter Enwy being loyal to Grindelwald.

"Grindelwald is very strong."

When he mentioned this name, Baite Enwei still clenched his fingers subconsciously, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

“Without such power, we don’t have to think about accomplishing what we want.”

Baite Enwe did not choose to lie in front of Terken. He continued: "Of course I deceived him at the beginning. I ran out and prepared to have a fight with him. But after I really realized that Luke Gunter After our strength, I think we still have to rely on Grindelwald.”

He rubbed his once-injured finger, as if he was worried about another crack appearing there.

"It is impossible for us and Luke Gunter to coexist peacefully. Because Luke Gunter is on the side of Saphiel Skye, and even his relationship with Saphiel Skye may not be that simple. "

"I thought you weren't someone who would delay important things because of a woman."

Teken always felt that he could not clearly see the young man in front of him. He's acting crazy now, and it always makes Teken feel like something's not normal. At the very least, it's a bit too extreme.

"Of course I don't feel any distance from Luke Gunter just because I once pursued Saphiel Skye. But we actually planned an attack on him. Although it was unsuccessful, I don't think we still have any problems now. Not found."

The logic of Baite Enwei's language is a bit illogical, and it seems that the preface and the follow-up are inconsistent.

"Also, I don't care about Saphire Skye, but if Saphire Skye really has an affair with Luke Gunter, then Luke Gunter should not be done with me."

What he said seemed to be quite satisfying. But Turken shook his head: "I think Luke Gunter may not be so narrow-minded, and more importantly... I think Luke Gunter may not really have anything abnormal with Saphiel Skye. relationship. If you want to say that these two people are using each other, then I really don’t think there is any problem.”

Teken really didn't see anything wrong in the interaction between these two people. Even Luke Gunter feels a little alienated from Saphiel Skye.

At least that's what they feel from the information they know so far.

"Oh, that kiss is enough to explain something. Luke Gunter is definitely not a generous person, and he definitely can't get along with me."

Baite Enwei said with a sneer.

Teken looked at his face and understood something.

It's not Luke Gunter who is petty, but Baxter Enwy.

So, Teken sighed, what is this all about...

"In short, we have to fight against Luke Gunter now, and we absolutely cannot do without Grindelwald. And Grindelwald is easier to deal with than Luke Gunter. I can feel Grindelwald's eagerness. A truly long-lasting People who live their lives should not be so anxious. I can conclude that there is something wrong with his return to youth."

Baxter Envi said so firmly. But Teken knows that this guy still doesn't have any evidence, and it's more speculation.

So he shook his head: "As long as you are happy."

With that said, he no longer dwelled on this matter, and just went back to handle his own affairs. The following little guys can freely switch to the lineup, because no matter which side they are on, they don't really care. The top decision-maker can decide which party to cooperate with and which party to oppose.

But people like him who have a little bit of status but are not strong enough to fight for more say can only be coerced. He would even face a heavy blow if he betrayed, and he would be helpless.

Baite Enwe watched Tekken leave and let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at the red finger that had been rubbed and felt that it was still aching.

Neither he nor these two men were telling the truth. In other words, it's not entirely true.

Of course Baxter Enwy hated Luke Gaunt. Because the sudden appearance of Luke Gunter disrupted most of his plans. If there is no Luke Gunter, then the probability of Saphiel Skye getting together with him is quite high. After all, Saphiel is also an ambitious person. Such a person knows how to make the most correct choice when necessary.

If it was really necessary, Baxter Enwy believed that Saphiel would even marry the old man Tripkard.

The emergence of Luke Gunter gave Saphiel Skye a better choice. So Baxter Enwy's original plan to slowly unite the two families and then take the position of leader of the American wizarding world was ruined.

It’s no wonder he feels so good...

However, the reason why he is loyal to Grindelwald is. More importantly, of course...

He suddenly grabbed his fingers that were trembling wildly. But he couldn't restrain the trembling. It was as if the strength of his fingers was too great, causing his whole body to tremble.

In his mind, he recalled the cold Grindelwald at that time, the cold-faced Grindelwald who tore his bones and flesh apart piece by piece.

Baite Enwei was breathing heavily, and the sweat on his forehead continued to seep out, slide down, and drip on the table.

There are not so many fancy reasons. Baite Enwei has never suffered any disadvantages since he was a child, let alone any sins. It can even be said that when he was growing up, few people would speak harsh words to him.

And Grindelwald really didn't care about him and was torturing him. Of course Baxter Envi is not a jerk, he doesn't like this feeling. He feared this feeling. Nothing is as effective as true fear.

………………

"So, you trust Baxter Envi so much because he is really afraid of you now?"

After hearing this, Orson actually wanted to laugh a little. But since the person in front of him was Grindelwald, he still didn't laugh out of respect.

"You admire him?"

Grindelwald asked rhetorically.

Orson nodded without hesitation: "The two of us are competitors, and he can put enough pressure on me every time. His methods and abilities are very online. And he dares to bet. In my impression, although he can't be called He is a crazy gambler, but at least he is also a person who has the courage to place bets."

Orson didn't quite believe that such a person would succumb to fear. Being together and competing for such a long time made him regard Baxter Envi as the same person as himself. He believed that he would not be bound by fear, let alone feel fear because of that little torture.

To be honest, the torture looked really scary, but it was even just physical torture, the kind of pain that could be easily cured by a doctor. Compared with the kind of torture that directly penetrates the soul and cannot be saved even by being sent to St. Mungo's Hospital, it pales into insignificance.

If he couldn't bear such torture, how could Baite Envi be compared with him?

Grindelwald gave a rare smile and said: "There is an essential difference between Baxter Enwy and you. His treatment since childhood was so generous that you can't imagine. You think he is a person who dares to use the chips, but in fact he is just Just willful and confident.”

"The chips he's putting on him won't really hurt him. There's a big difference between the two of you when you think about problems."

"You think about losing, and he feels from the bottom of his heart that he can't lose."

"He has won for so many years and is unfamiliar with losing. But after losing and experiencing pain, he will be afraid and then surrender."
