Chapter 78 Sarok's Response

At the same time, in the magnificent office of the Sarok headquarters deep underground in the suburbs of London, Russell, dressed in a red wizard robe, was leaning on the sofa, looking at the blue-robed wizard in front of him with a playful expression. Although he was smiling, his words were icy cold:

"Tell me, Felix, what's going on this time? Your predecessor, Mr. Harris, has not kept his word and failed to find the mastermind within the stipulated time. He is currently undergoing various experiments. How could you be so kind? Do you want to share the joys and sorrows with him so soon?"

Felix's legs went weak when he heard that and he almost fell to his knees.

How could he not know about Harris's recent situation? This devil-like man in front of him, in order to make him complete the task with all his heart, would take him to see the experiments of his predecessor whenever he had time. That kind of madness and cruelty, even for someone like him who had experienced many hardships and had a strong character, he still didn't want to remember a single thing.

Felix used his utmost willpower to control his emotions, making himself appear more calm, but his slightly trembling hands exposed his panic at the moment.

After calming down, Felix showed a confident expression and said, "Mr. Russell, I must say that this is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, these people never planned to survive since they started this mission. After all, the mission is carried out in Hogwarts. And there are reasons why this operation must be carried out."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Felix's words aroused Russell's great interest.

"Sir, this is a test operation. Since the incident at the research institute, we have almost lost all clues due to Mr. Harris's delay. The only valuable clue at the moment is Juelu Street. After all, before the incident, two or three members of that small organization would appear on that street from time to time."

"The other thing is that we found attack clips similar to Chinese talismans in a few surveillance devices that were not completely destroyed in the ruins of the research institute. This forced our intelligence department to expand the target range to the Chinese. Even if the Chinese are not participants, they are at least providers of weapons." Felix analyzed.

Russell nodded slightly: "That makes sense, go on."

Felix was encouraged and said confidently, "We have conducted a comprehensive investigation of Juelu Street, and our hooks in Juelu Street have also provided some clues. These three people once lived in Juelu Street, but disappeared around the time of the Institute incident."

As he spoke, Felix took out a magic photo, which showed Yang Wen and his family of three chatting and laughing on Juelu Street.

Russell stared at the magic photo intently, his eyes flashing with coldness, and asked in a cold tone: "And then?"

"But later we found out that these three people are the daughter, son-in-law, and grandson of the Free family. And the security of Lord Street is also taken over by the Free family. So the Intelligence Department cannot determine whether these three people are members of that small organization or a tentacles of the Free family in the Muggle world."

"After all, on the same night, our battle with the pure-blood wizards also shocked the wizarding world. So it was only natural to withdraw our direct lineage and let ordinary members take over in a critical moment."

"Although the news that the three people have been living in China has not been true, this excuse can explain the fact that they have been acting as a tentacles of the Free family in the Muggle world to hide their identities."

After hearing Felix's explanation, Russell fell into deep thought. Too many things happened in those few days, too many forces were involved, and the situation was too complicated. The whole process was confusing and caught people off guard.

Seeing that Russell didn't say anything, Felix continued, "By chance, we created an opportunity for this little ghost named Yang Tian to patrol the forbidden forest, so I launched this test. If we can capture this little ghost without anyone noticing, it would be perfect, but even if the plan is blocked, we can test whether the other party has talisman attack methods. They are just a dozen of the lowest-level wizards, and we can afford the loss."

Russell didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the other party's words, and asked: "Is there any result now?"

"Yes, sir. According to the footage from the video recorder, this kid didn't use any talisman-related attacks even when he was on the verge of death. Combined with the fact that these three people have never used talismans in recent years, the Intelligence Department's assessment is that there is only a 10% chance that they are the ones we are looking for."

"So, the clue is broken again?"

Felix felt the bone-chilling cold again. With a start, he quickly answered, "Of course not, sir. My thoughts are clearer now. If we rule out these three people, then the pure-blood family that is in direct conflict with us will be pushed to the forefront. So is there a possibility that all this was done by the pure-blood family?"

Russell looked at Felix coldly and asked, "What's the motive? And do they have the ability to do it?"

But Felix seemed to be awakened by his own words, and his mind was completely opened. He said wisely:

"Sir, could the precious items we lost be the motive? The Dark Lord had contact with us before he fell from power, and he knows us well. It is entirely possible that he has infiltrated our organization."

"Use an insider to find out the exact location of our research institute, use the Pureblood family to tie down our reinforcements, and then use the secret forces in your hands to attack the research institute and obtain the treasure?"

"You know, even we haven't figured out this treasure. Maybe the Dark Lord knows how to use it. And those talismans are probably just a trick to cover up the aura of dark magic."

Russell's eyes became even colder, but there was a hint of fear in the corners of his eyes: "Mr. Felix, I have to remind you that the Dark Lord died eleven years ago. He died at the hands of that child."

"But what if he is not dead, but only seriously injured? Sir, our overseas office has sent a message that there is a legend that the Dark Lord has appeared in the jungle of Albania in the southwest of the Balkan Peninsula."

At this time, Felix's eyes were shining, and he was extremely confident, as if he thought he had found the truth of the matter.

Felix's words completely silenced Russell. He silently replayed the entire incident on the Dark Lord and was surprised to find that it fit perfectly without any flaws.

Russell's face turned completely ugly. "Asshole, you don't dare to cause trouble for Dumbledore, but you pick on us. Do you really think we are soft persimmons? Felix, follow your ideas and find more clues for me. Send people to the Albanian jungle to see the situation over there. I will contact the higher-ups and give him a devastating blow if necessary."

Russell stood up and patted Felix's shoulder gently to show encouragement.

Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and said, "Don't take those three guys lightly. You must continue to monitor them. Especially that kid. He caused us to lose so many people. If he stays, he will be a disaster. Notify our insider and monitor him closely. If there is a good opportunity, report it immediately. Make a thorough plan and kill him quietly."

After seeing Felix bow and accept the order, Russell left in a hurry...
