Chapter 414 The Real Gambler Mr. Raymond

As soon as Karl finished speaking, a series of air explosions like firecrackers sounded at the same time.

Mr. Raymond, leading all the senior officials of the French Ministry of Magic, appeared on the platform due east of the bottom stage.

At the same time, nearly forty Aurors appeared at the entrances of various passages, forming a circular encirclement.

But as soon as this encirclement was formed, it was counter-encircled by a larger encirclement.

As soon as the forty Aurors landed on the ground, the saints who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward.

On average, every Auror, just as he recovered from the Apparition spell, saw three or four wands pointing at him when he opened his eyes.

He didn't even have a chance to draw his wand, except for one place, which was one of the two main passages guarded by Cedric.

Cedric, who hadn't fully understood the situation yet, suddenly saw three Aurors descending in front of him.

He was panicked and at a loss for what to do for a moment, and the saints next to him were about to rush forward.

Cedric, who saw clearly the Auror badge the other party was wearing, immediately raised his hands out of habit to show that he surrendered and was not carrying any weapons.

This funny scene made the other saints feel a little confused.

They stood there at a loss for a moment, and the Aurors reacted quickly, taking out their wands and preparing to hold the saints in front of them hostage.

In order to increase their bargaining chips in the subsequent negotiations, they just got the magic wand in their hands.

A scarlet lightning crossed the entire field and hit the Aurors directly from behind them.

These Aurors immediately fell to the ground, wailing in agony, and their shrill screams echoed continuously in the caves of the crypt.

"Don't go too far. Using the Cruciatus Curse to persecute Ministry of Magic officials is enough to sentence you to life imprisonment."

Hearing the shrill screams, Mr. Raymond, the French Minister of Magic, immediately took the lead.

He stared at the gorgeous girl in the black dress in front of him and spoke in a strong tone.

In fact, he knew very well that his threat was extremely childish, but he had no choice.

Now that things have developed to this point, not to mention that he is not blind, there are tabloid reporters all around him.

Faced with so many cameras, he had to maintain his outward appearance, otherwise all the previous operations of the Ministry of Magic would be in vain.

Even if he might be killed by the person in front of him after saying this, he still had to say this. At the same time, he also wanted to verify an idea deep in his heart.

After a few seconds of nervous waiting, the expected killing curse did not appear, but was replaced by a disdainful chuckle.

The absolutely beautiful girl in front of me smiled slightly. She didn't need any words or body movements. Her face in the sunlight, with the blessing of this smile, was enough to charm everyone.

Even Mr. Raymond had to admit that for a second he suddenly felt that dying at the hands of such a beautiful girl might not be unacceptable.

And Carl on the other side just looked up silently at Kevin Lestrange who was casting spells.

Said in a joking tone.

"Dear Mr. Lestrange, you have also heard the accusation made by our minister, such a serious crime."

"Sometimes it costs your life. Are you willing to do it for me, for this organization, and for the greater good?"

"Sacrifice your precious life?"

"Of course! I'd give anything for you."

Without a moment's hesitation, Kevin Lestrange answered directly.

After he answered, the other saints immediately shouted loudly.

"I'll give it all for the greater good!!"

The shouts of hundreds of people made the entire crypt tremble, not to mention the group of guys standing on the eastern platform.

Except for Mr. Raymond, the other senior officials were already frightened out of their wits when they heard such a loud shout.

They all hid behind Mr. Raymond like quails, fearing that they would be noticed by others, especially the reporters who were desperately taking photos and videos.

Let him be, surviving is the first priority.

"You heard it, dear sir. If you want, you can take one of them with you at any time."

"Hand him over to your parliamentary court for trial, and make those unfortunate Aurors pay the price for what you call justice."

"It's just that I think that the topic we are discussing today may not be this. What we are going to discuss is the future of the entire wizarding community."

Carl brought the topic back on track.

"The future of the entire wizarding community?" Mr. Raymond chuckled, suddenly raised his voice and spoke bluntly.

"The future of the entire wizarding community has become so uncertain because of you. I'm sorry, pretty lady."

"We are living a very good life now. We have no interest in talking to you about the future, let alone discussing your damn organization."

"That so-called bullshit legality."

"WTF!!!!"

The senior officials who had been hiding behind Mr. Raymond all stared at the figure in front of them with an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

I cursed in my mind using different languages ​​​​and sighed at the same time.

"That's not right. Is this still the old pervert we know? When did he become so brave?"

"If you had shown this kind of courage and responsibility earlier, the French wizarding world would not be what it is today."

"Also, can you see the situation more clearly? Could it be that this old pervert has suddenly lost his mind because of our betrayal?"

"I want to drag everyone to be buried with him."

Just when these senior officials were in panic and some of them almost knelt down on the spot.

Mr. Raymond, who had just finished speaking boldly, was actually scared to death. He certainly wasn't crazy or trying to drag these guys behind him down with him.

Although he really wanted to kill these damn bastards, that was based on the premise that he could survive.

At the same time, he can maintain his current political status, making it convenient for himself and enjoying his current corrupt life.

The reason why he just acted so bravely was, on the one hand, of course, it was for the reporters to see, and on the other hand, it was because of his journey.

By analyzing everything that happened today, I came to a conclusion, that is, Miss Grindelwald in front of me.

It may not be for the legal status of the Saints organization, nor for directly launching a war. The other party may just want to find a target.

Find an official organization that can fight against this organization and is powerful enough to plunge the entire European magical world into tension and chaos.

So after completing the first step of testing, this Minister of Magic, who has been hanging around in the major casinos in the magical world for many years and has left a great reputation in the major casinos and red-light districts.

I decided to go all in. Success or failure depends on this hand of cards. If it fails, I can try again in 18 years.

After a nervous wait, the beautiful girl in front of him finally spoke, and the moment she heard what the other party said.

Mr. Raymond couldn't help but smile because he made the right bet.

The other party spoke calmly.

"I admire your bravery sir, and as agreed before, I will not harm any of you."

"But I still want to discuss with you the future of the entire wizarding community."
