Chapter 42: The Statute of Wizarding Secrecy is Bullshit
Hephis struggled to move his body and rolled to the edge of the glass.
He tried several times but found that he couldn't sit up at all, so he had to lean against the glass to make himself more comfortable.
Although the ground is hard, it is not cold. It should be due to floor heating.
It was just that having his hands tied behind his back made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he decided to just bear with it for now.
He was very curious about how his captors, or rather the Vulture Gang, found him.
As for how to get out of trouble, all you need is hands.
Just when Hephis was feeling a little impatient, the door suddenly opened.
Two men and a woman walked in.
One of them was Weir, and the other man looked like a bodyguard, fully armed.
The woman was a beauty, in her thirties, dressed in a smart business suit.
From Hephis's perspective, it should be the kind where you can't see your toes when you lower your head.
Will and the woman sat on the chairs, while the bodyguard stood aside, his gun always pointed at Hefeth.
Hephaestus was calm and composed, and the four of them just remained silent.
Will was the first to break the silence, "Hephis Dam, I guess I called you the right name, right?"
"Good! You even found out my name. Don't call me Baba this time. That's not good." Hephis teased.
"It seems that even in this situation, you still have something to rely on. Is it your mysterious disappearance technique?" Will's eyes flashed cunningly.
"Hey, are you trying to trick me? It's okay to tell you, but if I wasn't waiting for you, I wouldn't be able to stay in this place." Hephis didn't mind at all.
"It seems that my expectation was correct. You are indeed a wizard." The woman who had been silent finally spoke.
"It seems that you know a lot! Tell us about it?" Hephis was a little surprised.
"The existence of wizards is no secret." She did not explain in detail.
"Since you know I'm a wizard, why do you dare to appear in front of me so blatantly?" Hephes asked puzzledly.
"Why don't you guess why there is a cell like this here?" The woman smiled.
"It seems I'm not the first one. You guys are very confident about this cell!"
"You are very smart."
"Tell me! Now that you know I'm a wizard, what do you want me to do?" Hephis suddenly became interested in this woman.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Vanasha Prewett, and I'm a Squib." Vanasha said with some pride.
"Dumb! Why are you so proud?" Hephes was a little confused.
Vanasha's face froze and turned red.
Seeing this, Will quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Hephis, all you need to know is that you can't get out of this cell." Will said to smooth things over.
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" Hephis asked.
"First we want to learn something about the wizarding world. After all, it's been three years since we last caught a wizard, so there must have been a lot of changes in the wizarding world."
"Isn't she a squib? Can't you just ask her directly?" Hephis asked doubtfully.
"That's none of your business. Just tell me if you don't want to suffer."
Will did not explain that Vanasha had been expelled from her family, so now she, a stain, was not allowed to enter the magical world at all.
"If there is one, there must be two. I'm curious about what the next one is."
"Secondly, I need to conduct some experiments on you, but not here."
"You're using me as a guinea pig!" Hephes suddenly realized.
"Right, so I hope you can hold on a little longer."
"I'm curious, who are you working for? Is it the British government?"
"You don't need to know this."
"Ok."
"From now on, I'll ask questions and you'll answer them." Will obviously had no patience left.
"I think it's better for me not to answer." Hephis teased.
"Hmm? It seems like you want to suffer a little." Will's face was gloomy.
Four black hands suddenly appeared and crushed the camera.
Another four black hands appeared behind the three men. The bodyguards got two, and the rest got one each.
As expected, Veer and Vanasa were knocked unconscious by the blow.
But the bodyguard was not that easy. He dodged while shooting at the black hand.
Every time Black Hand was hit, he would be pushed back a little, giving the bodyguard a moment to catch his breath.
But it wasn't long before all eight black hands surrounded him, and the bodyguard was beaten like a pig's head before he fell down.
Hephis looked at the glass cell that was already filled with green mist, and felt very relieved.
Although he didn't know what those things were, if he inhaled them, he might be in trouble this time.
He ordered the eight black hands to remain on guard.
If any of the three show signs of waking up, continue hammering.
He cuts Veer and Vanatha’s shadows to see what’s going on.
He quickly scanned Will's memory.
After reading it, a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
This guy Will is not as evil as Hunter. Instead, he is a bit of a saint.
Weir was originally a soldier in a British army unit and had been to the battlefield.
However, during one mission, letting a child go resulted in two teammates being disabled by the explosion.
Unable to bear the blow, he finally chose to retire.
His boss helped him transfer to the local police station, where he was assigned to become an undercover agent for the Vulture Gang.
Three years after three years, he finally climbed to the second place.
The incident with Hephis gave him hope of becoming the boss.
However, because Hephes is a wizard, the original plan cannot be implemented.
And Will is definitely a talented guy. It was he who proposed the Vulture Gang's weekly warehouse party.
From then on, the Vulture Gang's crime rate plummeted.
Because he already has the above background, he can easily get a batch of obsolete weapons.
Not only does it generate revenue for the higher-ups, but what can the gangs do with the arms?
Grab the territory.
Although it was a bit noisy, most of the people who died were gang members.
The Vulture Gang made a lot of money because of this, and all the illegal activities that did not bring in much income were eliminated.
The harm caused by the Vulture Gang to society has dropped sharply.
Hunter is purely a matter of personal preference.
As for why she is called a saint.
He invested in the Stan Orphanage, which Hefeth wanted to go to when he was nine years old but was unable to go.
As for how to identify and capture Hephis, it is simple.
Through Vanasha, Weir retrieved the video of Pal kidnapping Hephis and confirmed Hephis's appearance.
Plus, Hephis went shopping carelessly today.
So he quickly investigated Hephes's situation thoroughly.
Vanasha deduced that Hephis might have gone to Hogwarts to study, and coupled with the way he disappeared yesterday, they were certain that Hephis was a wizard.
That’s why what happened today happened.
The arrest of wizards was not just an order from the British top leaders, but many countries were involved.
As for why?
Not to mention that wizards possess magical powers that may cause harm to the Muggle world.
A single wizard can generally live to 150 years old, and powerful wizards can even live to over 200 years old.
Wizards have a way to die.
