Chapter 491 The secret meeting continues

After hearing this explanation, the seven people in the secret room all looked unhappy, but Pierce continued his explanation: "So, Benedict Kim has a lot of opinions about us and is not willing to have too much contact with our people... The only thing to be thankful for is that he seems to be very wary of old Batty and keeps a distance from them. So, the current situation is still stable for the time being."

Fudge's face showed embarrassment again. Didn't he know that Ludo Bagman was a fool? Of course he knew, and he knew that Benedict's work ability was much better than Bagman's. But he still resolutely chose Bagman. Compared with the shrewd Benedict, this fool was easier to control. But everything that happened now seemed to be mocking his poor judgment of people. But now, what can he do? He could only change the subject helplessly: "Mr. Evans, has your Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures been affected by this incident? After all, the Dementors are also under the jurisdiction of the Office of Alien Species. "

"Minister, please rest assured that the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures is as stable as a rock." Oldfield replied calmly: "Unlike other departments that are full of intrigue, our department is still very united. Everyone is united and has put all the responsibilities on Scrimgeour."

Everyone felt relieved, but Will Krall was very unhappy. Oldfield's words were obviously provocative! He couldn't help but interrupt, "Your Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures was completely crippled back then. It's easier to control it if you re-arrange the staff. What's there to be proud of? Moreover, even in this state, isn't the Ghost Office still out of control? Oh, and there's also the Error Information Office. It seems that you can't completely control it either..."

“Huh, that’s much better than you, right?” Oldfield didn’t give the other party any face at all. He sneered: “Last time when the Incident Reversal Team was dispatched to repair Harry Potter’s aunt’s memory, it seemed that you rushed to take charge, right? But no one in that team gave you face, and the whole Ministry of Magic was gossiping. In the end, it was the Minister’s direct order that finally solved the problem perfectly... After all, you are the head of a department, but you can’t even command your subordinates. Don’t you think you are ashamed? Hahaha..."

"You..." Klar was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned blue and white. This was probably one of the most embarrassing things in his life.

"Well, in this difficult period, I still hope that everyone can unite. There is no need to expose each other's scars, right?" Fudge saw this and immediately stopped the conflict between the two sides: "However, Oldfield, I know that the ghost office is special, but I still hope that you can take it down as soon as possible. We really don't have much time."

"Don't worry, Minister. I am confident that I can accomplish this as soon as possible." Oldfield replied confidently.

"Very good!" Fudge smiled again, but after a pause, he asked worriedly, "The Department of International Magical Cooperation has always been old Barty's headquarters, so I won't say anything about that. But what about the Department of Magical Transportation? Is it really impossible to get even a drop of water in? At least it would be good if we can take down one of its subordinate agencies!"

"I'm sorry, Minister! You should know that the Department of Magical Transportation is composed of the Floo Network Administration, the Broomstick Management and Control Bureau, the Portkey Office, and the Apparition Testing Center." Pierce shook his head helplessly and continued to explain: "These four departments were composed of Barty Crouch's former subordinates before the war. They were old Barty's loyal supporters. It was because old Barty's reputation was ruined that they gave up the idea of ​​competing and retired. But now... Alas... We have tried to suppress them with various means, and even tried to bribe their main members, but the results are disappointing. They don't buy it at all."

"Okay, okay, let's leave these issues within the Ministry of Magic alone for now." Fudge rubbed his brows desperately before continuing, "So Lennon, Lev, how are the two of you being responsible for uniting other pure-blood families and alliances going?"

"Minister, nowadays, apart from the two inherent supporting families of Dumbledore and the Dark Lord, there are not many pure-blood families left for us to fight for." Lev said seriously: "Our Flint family used to maintain good relations with the Malfoy family and the Parkinson family, and we have been seeking business cooperation with the Fley family and the Greengrass family. However, this time the Dementors attacked Hogwarts and made the situation complicated. Almost all the heirs of those families are studying at Hogwarts, so their attitudes are also extremely firm. Also, because my Flint family did not stand on the same front with them on this matter, Lucius and others even ridiculed me, saying that our Marcus Flint was also studying in school, but he was too weak in this matter, and he was very dissatisfied with our statement... It seems that everything has returned to the starting point..." After speaking, he sighed helplessly.

"Hmph..." Fudge was regretting his previous decision more and more. It seemed that the sequelae of this incident were gradually emerging, and the scope of influence was getting wider and wider! But what could he say now? He could only comfort him helplessly: "Lev, don't pay too much attention to these details. I believe that Lucius and the others still have some concerns. Just like in the last meeting, although I proposed that Umbridge take over the position of Director of the Auror Office, the situation was very bad at the time, and I was unsure. If it weren't for the support of Lucius and the others, my proposal would not have been passed at all. Therefore, they still take the overall situation into consideration and do not want a strong Ministry of Magic to emerge... So, Lev, you should take advantage of this time to talk more with Lucius, he is the core of that circle."

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. Lucius and others played an indispensable role in Fudge's family being able to minimize the losses this time.

Seeing that the topic was coming to an end, Lennon Nott hurriedly reported: "Our Nott family has been moving closer to Madam Zabini's alliance. When the Smith family wanted to join the alliance before, we wanted to intervene, but everyone was not very optimistic about this alliance at that time, so we were delayed... Alas, who would have thought that this alliance would develop so fast."
