Chapter 408: Unexpected Bipolar Reversal
The person who broke into the meeting room was a young man with a very ordinary build and appearance, and he worked as a junior accountant in the Financial Execution Department.
Because today's meeting was held very hastily, I was temporarily transferred to the communications room to work.
He had just broken into the conference room with an anxious look on his face, and wanted to directly report the urgent news he had just received.
As a result, he was completely shocked by the scene before him. His top leader, the French Minister of Magic, was pinned to the ground by a group of senior officials, with a look of despair on his face.
His immediate superior, Mr. Leroy, the Financial Secretary, was hiding under the table insidiously, with his head aimed right at his crotch.
This scene of strong men locking up men and putting men on top of men has given these high-ranking officials a good reputation among the ordinary employees.
Countless forbidden images suddenly flashed through the mind of this imaginative young man.
He always thought that his leaders were good-for-nothings, but he didn't expect that these people were so old and still reveling in such a reckless manner.
And this young man was letting his imagination run wild.
Mr. Raymond, who was already in despair, smelled a glimmer of hope for life. He kicked Mr. Leroy, who was close to him, back the way he came.
Then he looked at the dazed young man and shouted loudly.
"What new information has been received from the communications room? Don't just stand there in a daze. Tell me immediately."
This shout woke the young man up immediately and brought him back to reality from the images in his mind.
Said with embarrassment on his face.
"I'm sorry, Minister, I was a little distracted just now."
"Tell me if you have any news." Mr. Raymond continued to shout loudly.
The young man was yelled at again and finally remembered what he was supposed to do. He immediately spoke in a panic.
"This is terrible, leaders. Mr. Eber Leonard just replied to the message. He is in a Muggle bar on the Champs-Elysees in Paris."
"We found a whole bar full of Muggle corpses. After an on-site investigation, we found that these Muggles were killed by an evil potion."
"It must have been done by Grindelwald's group of saints, and almost all newspapers and magazines in the French wizarding world."
"We have received the news that Grindelwald will hold a rally at Père Lachaise Cemetery. A large number of reporters have already rushed there."
"Mr. Eber Leonard also brought the two Aurors and prepared to go there to maintain order, but the situation was urgent so he requested support from the Ministry of Magic."
"Ruined!!"
"We have all knelt down and surrendered, why are you forcing us to stand up?"
"Great, there is always a way out, hahahaha!!!"
The moment the young man told the news, the group of senior officials immediately let go of Mr. Raymond who was pinned to the ground.
They all looked pale and trembling, as if their parents had died.
On the other hand, Mr. Raymond looked ecstatic and even laughed out loud.
This strange scene made the young man confused about the situation. He was so scared that he kept backing away until half of his body was out of the meeting room.
Then he asked tremblingly.
"Gentlemen, what happened to you? Could it be that someone put potions in today's breakfast and drinks? I will immediately ask the staff from the infirmary to come over with equipment for inspection."
After saying that, he turned around and tried to escape, but just as he took a step, his body was fixed in place by magic.
Mr. Raymond held his wand in his hand, with a strange smile on his face, and slowly glanced at the other senior officials in the room.
Other senior officials also quickly lowered their heads, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a word.
Everything that just happened in the conference room, to put it mildly, can be considered a disagreement in the meeting.
To put it in a broader sense, this was a collective mutiny. The French Minister of Magic, who had been fully resurrected, could arrest all the people present in the name of cabinet mutiny.
I guess these guys never imagined that the plan was perfect, and the scapegoat and the fallback plan had already been thought out.
By surrendering to Grindelwald now, he could not only ensure his own safety, but also acquire a share in advance and gain an advantage in future dividends.
If Grindelwald fails later, he can also push the Minister of Magic out as a scapegoat and bear the wrath of the European wizarding world.
No matter how you calculate it, you're not at a loss. That's why that useless Financial Secretary can connect with so many people so easily.
But now the situation has happened, a reversal that no one expected, Grindelwald actually refuses to accept surrender.
This is something that will never happen in the way these cowards think. The other party will not accept surrender. Why shouldn't they accept surrender?
Taking over the magical world of a major European country without paying any price is an unacceptable deal no matter how you look at it.
But facts are not logical, it just happened strangely, and this news completely reversed the situation.
Ben had been the scapegoat sacrificed, and Mr. Raymond suddenly and magically became the one holding the knife.
Now he just held the magic wand in his hand, examining the guys in front of him to see who to push to the altar.
After choosing for a long time, he soon selected his favorite target. Mr. Raymond walked slowly to Mr. Leroy who was next to the gate.
He slowly squatted down, stretched out his right hand, patted the other person's face affectionately, and spoke kindly.
"Mr. Leroy, my dear comrade, the French wizarding world is now at a precarious moment."
"Grindelwald's darkness is about to sweep across Europe. At this critical moment, I believe in you, who is named the Spear Warrior."
"We will definitely stand firmly on the side of justice. We must be responsible for all lives, even those of Muggles."
"do you think so?"
These words were spoken not only to Mr. Leroy, but also to other senior officials present.
Soon someone took out their wand, held it high and shouted.
"That's right, there are no cowards in France. We must fight the darkness to the end."
"We must fight the darkness to the end and defeat Grindelwald just like our ancestors did."
"I will never tolerate evil!!"
Not surprisingly, these people once again quickly and decisively switched sides and stood on Mr. Raymond's side, just as they had betrayed Mr. Raymond before.
Cowards who were loudly discussing the price of surrender half an hour ago.
Now, each of them has become a warrior with high spirits, eager to die on the spot, with surging fighting enthusiasm.
The young man who was frozen outside the door became even more convinced that these old guys must be controlled by some kind of magic potion.
Otherwise they definitely wouldn't have the courage.
On the other side, Mr. Raymond, after regaining control of the French Ministry of Magic, immediately issued his first order.
"In the name of Kyle Raymond, Minister of Magic of France, I summon all Aurors in France."
"We will go to Père Lachaise Cemetery together and agree to Gerald Leroy's request to be the first to enter Père Lachaise Cemetery as a pioneer."
