Chapter 140 Rust Belt and Ethan

Finally, the matter of Gringotts was resolved. At the same time, the goblins took out a large amount of Galleons to fill the gap for this incident.

On July 20th, Gringotts resumed normal business.

Urs from the Department of Mysteries was also released on bail, and everything seems to be over?

The city of Hull is located in the northeast of England, UK. It is an important industrial city in the UK. Historically, it was the shipbuilding center of the UK, mainly involved in the fields of automobiles, steel, energy, etc.

However, with the accelerated encroachment of financial capital on manufacturing, the once famous industrial city has become the rust belt today.

Aiden was wearing a black and white striped shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone. He was wearing a pair of fitted jeans and a pair of white sneakers.

Using magic to conceal the dragon's horns, he wandered the streets of Hull.

In this city, Aiden saw drug addicts and homeless people lying on the streets in scattered patterns.

Just as Aiden was about to move forward, a skinny white man rushed out from the darkness, holding a knife to Aiden's neck.

"Money...hand over the money." He spoke tremblingly and looked like a drug addict.

Aiden raised his head, revealing a pair of beautiful heterochromatic eyes in the eyes of this drug addict.

"Eh!!!" the drug addict screamed and fell to the ground.

Just as Aiden was about to get closer, he smelled a foul odor.

He showed a disgusted expression, and his body turned into a butterfly inch by inch and dissipated into the air.

All that was left on the ground was a demented drug addict, wondering why he ended up sitting here.

Aiden was walking through the streets with the guardian angel, looking for the leader who had escaped before.

As for why Aiden appeared here, it was because he really couldn't resist Oliver's request.

As Aiden was about to leave the neighborhood, a familiar face came into his sight.

Aiden turned from virtual to real, appeared gently behind the man, grabbed him, and brought him into the blind spot of consciousness.

"Ha~" Aiden made a strange cry.

"Ah!" The person he caught exclaimed, took out his wand and turned around.

"Aiden?"

The shadows dissipated, and the person caught by Aiden was Ethan.

"Why are you here?" Ethan asked in surprise.

"Do you know anything about the residents of Kingsport?" Aiden asked.

"Uh, I heard from Edmund. He was sacrificed by a cult."

Ethan said, suddenly reacting, “Are you trying to say that the cult is nearby?”

"Very close. The relevant agencies of the Ministry of Magic launched a crackdown on them before, but one of them escaped. Now all parties are chasing him."

Aiden selectively tells Ethan some news.

"By the way, since you live here, do you know anything about the religion around here?"

After hearing what Aiden said, Ethan had a complicated expression on his face.

"Hey, come with me, let's go to my house first." Ethan took Aiden back to his home.

Ethan took Aiden across a few blocks and an ordinary little house appeared in front of them.

Pushing the door open, Ethan walked in.

"Mom, I met my classmate on the street and brought him over as a guest." Ethan shouted into the house.

There was a sound of dishes colliding in the kitchen, and soon a housewife with ordinary looks came over.

"Oh, Ethan baby, is this your classmate? He's so cute."

The housewife held out her hand to Aiden and said, "Hello, I'm Ethan's mother, Renee Beckett."

"Hello, Ms. Beckett." Aiden performed an ancient wizard etiquette towards Renee.

"Oh my God, it seems that your classmate comes from an extraordinary family." Leni teased Ethan.

"Stay at my house tonight, Aiden. You can also ask my father anything you want to know," Ethan suggested.

Since there was no leader at the moment, Aiden had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, there was a flash in space, and Oliver, wearing a black and gold robe and a hood, appeared beside Aiden.

"Aiden, who is this?" Ethan looked at the face under the hood and felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Well, this is the Unspeakable. The source of our mission this time is the Department of Mysteries." Aiden introduced.

"What? Department of Mysteries." Renee suddenly became interested.

She walked up and watched Oliver for a long time, but she couldn't see anything.

I could only say angrily, "Does the Department of Mysteries like to recruit such young children now?"

"No, ma'am, the only requirement for recruitment in the Department of Mysteries is a good match, nothing else," Oliver explained mysteriously.

"Well, well, it doesn't matter if there's one more person. This is my first time entertaining a Unspoken Man anyway."

It seems that Ethan's mother is a very cheerful lady.

That night, Ethan's father drove home and found two strangers sitting on the sofa.

"Leni, darling?" he called, leaning against the wall.

"What's wrong?, Bowen, I told you not to get startled at home." Leni was called out of the room.

Seeing her husband huddled against the wall in fear, she laughed out loud.

"Oh, Bowen, I told you not to be afraid, there aren't that many dangerous wizards now."

Renee went up to her husband and gave him a kiss, without paying any attention to the three little wizards present.

Aiden cast a playful look at Ethan, who blushed and lowered his head.

At dinner, at the table, Mr. Bowen, who was afraid of Oliver's identity as a silent man, could only pester Aiden with questions.

"Oh, kid, let's talk about what life is like as a wizard. Do you go to school on a flying carpet every day?"

Aiden confirmed again and again that the familiar voice was not that of his uncle, and nodded.

"Flying carpets were popular for a while, but were later banned by the Ministry of Magic on the grounds that they were unsafe to operate."

"Oh, this is really great. When I was a kid, I always dreamed of riding a flying carpet to school one day, hahaha."

Bowen Beckett smiled cheerfully.

"Mr. Beckett, we have something to ask you." Aiden became serious.

"Oh, yes, please." Bowen picked up a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Excuse me, are there any cults around here?" Aiden asked.

"Hehe, what did you say, cult?" Bowen was shocked.

"Yes, there is a group of dangerous people related to the wizarding world who have formed a cult and are now roaming around here."

Aiden's words were a mixture of truth and lies, and he always used his ability to sense Bowen.

"If you're talking about a new cult that has recently arrived, it might not be a big deal. But two years ago, there seemed to be an inexplicable wave of anti-intellectualism here."

Mr. Bowen recalled and spoke.

"A wave of anti-intellectualism?" Aiden felt that this was unusual.

"Yeah, you know, oh sorry I forgot you're a wizard. It's like this, as we are in the Rust Belt, after the decline of the manufacturing industry here, a large number of unemployed people have emerged..."

Bowen was about to ramble on, but was interrupted by Aiden.

"There's no need to explain this, Mr. Bowen. I know about this. I'm quite knowledgeable about Muggles."

Aiden pushed up his monocle, and the aura of a top student surrounded him.

Mr. Bowen, who was intimidated by the aura of the academic master, seemed to click his tongue softly and continued,

"In short, there are a lot of drug addicts, homeless people, and criminals here. If it's a cult, they can just use some food to lure them in and form a huge force."

"Do you know where they are stationed?" Aiden asked.

"Well, probably in the northern suburbs, around Pearson Park, for example." Mr. Bowen stroked his chin in thought.

Oliver stood up and walked out.

"Uh, what is he doing?" Mr. Bowen was a little confused.

"Well, there's something urgent at home. You guys take your time eating. I have to go see him. Also, please stay home for the next two days. Don't go."

Aiden also stood up, and before leaving, he gave serious instructions.
