Chapter 538 President

Under the leadership of Akinbad, representatives from various countries rushed to the new city of Hogsmeade in a hurry.

However, what frustrated the representatives was that they did not get to see the person they wanted to see most - Sebastian - at the first place. They could only come to the new Ministry of Magic to visit and rest under the guidance of the Aurors.

The Auror in charge of reception wore an impeccable smile and said respectfully, "Sir Sebastian is currently handling the final work of the relocation of Gringotts. He hopes to ensure that the financial system of the wizarding world can resume normal operation in the shortest possible time. This is related to the stability of the entire wizarding world. I hope you all understand."

"I have received a notice from Mr. Swan. He will finish the finishing work at Gringotts within an hour and come to meet you all."

"Please wait here for a moment. If you need anything, please let our staff at the Ministry of Magic know."

Everyone looked at each other, their shock evident in words.

They never imagined that less than a day after the Death Eaters attacked Gringotts, the British wizarding community had already begun the relocation of Gringotts and was about to enter the final stage.

This efficient response speed made the representatives from other countries feel ashamed.

Not only that, in their eyes, the British wizarding world was unusually quiet.

Britain, the base camp of the mysterious man, which is theoretically the most dangerous place, is actually the most stable area in the entire wizarding world at this moment.

There was no harassment from the Death Eaters, no massive attacks from the Saints, and even the ordinary wizards on the streets seemed to be in good order. It did not look like they were experiencing a global chaotic crisis at all.

In contrast, their own countries were in a state of chaos. This sharp contrast made the representatives feel extremely complicated.

Drive away the Death Eaters?

Don't be ridiculous. The counterattacks hastily organized by the Ministries of Magic of various countries were totally ineffective. Some small countries had sparse populations and did not even dare to counterattack, let alone restore order in the wizarding world.

But in the midst of this chaos, Grindelwald's saints took massive action, drove away the Death Eaters aggressively, and occupied Gringotts in various countries, making the whole situation even more confusing.

Before coming to the UK, almost all the representatives had made emergency contacts with the Minister of Magic of their own countries, but the news they received was always distressing.

The Ministry of Magic fell into chaos and the people were in panic. Letters from the public had piled up like a mountain. Many wizards demanded that the government take immediate action, otherwise they would rise up in rebellion. Some wizards even secretly prepared to move, and their destination was the new city of Hogsmeade where Sebastian was in charge.

After learning that the representatives wanted to ask Sebastian to come out of retirement, the Ministers of Magic issued a death order, requiring Sebastian to come out of retirement at all costs.

"Envy, is this the deterrent power of a powerful wizard?"

A representative sighed quietly as he glanced out the window. The streets of the new town of Hogsmeade were peaceful, with wizards trading and talking normally, and children playing and running on the streets, as if the world was still business as usual, with no signs of any impending disaster.

“If our country also had such a wizard, perhaps we wouldn’t have to worry about the You-Know-Who, nor would we have to worry about the Ministry of Magic being conquered by the Saints.” Someone whispered, with envy in his tone.

"Unfortunately not." A representative sighed and smiled bitterly, "We can only pray that Mr. Swann will not abandon us."

Time passed little by little, and the delegation checked the time frequently, feeling that every second was extremely difficult.

As everyone was waiting anxiously, the door to the hall finally opened slowly.

Sebastian, dressed in a dark robe, stepped in. He glanced around the conference room, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said lightly, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Gringotts has already moved, but there are still many trivial tasks to be done in order to open the wizarding bank. Of course, all of these tasks will be handled by Percy. Sebastian does not intend to interfere and will just wait for two days to go for inspection.

After explaining some precautions, he slowly came to meet the representatives.

In fact, this was what Sebastian did on purpose. He wanted to let these representatives feel the anxiety and recognize their status, so that some short-sighted people would not use moral kidnapping to upset him.

However, Sebastian was obviously overthinking it. When the real owner showed up, the representatives immediately apologized. The deterrent power of the two dark lords was too strong. They really didn't dare to show off here, for fear that the other party would close the door and send them away if they were unhappy.

"Of course, of course. We are not in a hurry."

"Yes, we have just arrived and are still admiring the brand new British Ministry of Magic. You are very polite."

Amid the compliments from everyone, Sebastian smiled slightly and asked knowingly, "I wonder what you all want to see me for?"

"Sebastian," Akinbad stepped forward. As the leader of this group of representatives, he had to set an example. "We would like to invite you to become the president of the International Wizarding Association and lead everyone to fight against the dark forces."

"Not suitable, not suitable," Sebastian waved his hands repeatedly, his face full of resistance, "I am too young and inexperienced. It is difficult to convince others that I can become the president directly. Besides, it is not in accordance with the rules. After all, I have never worked in the International Wizarding Association, so how can I become the president directly?"

"We all obey you," the French representative said immediately, "and if anyone disobeys, you can drive him away now."

"What are the rules?" the Austrian representative said, "The rules are what we all agree on."

"This isn't a good idea," Sebastian said with a troubled look on his face. "How can I just become the guild president? I have to wait until next year's election."

"During this extraordinary period, we need to keep things simple. Now that representatives from all countries are here, why not just start the election?" The German representative raised his hand. "I elect Mr. Swan as the president. Everything will be based on Mr. Swan's instructions. Please raise your hands if you agree."

Huhu ...

"Thank you for your trust," Sebastian finally declined, "However, You-Know-Who and Grindelwald are both very strong. If we want to deal with their team, our team must be efficient."

"Don't worry, sir. We will all obey your orders. If anyone dares to disobey you, we will not agree."

"Yes, anyone who disobeys your orders will not be able to obtain your protection."

As the representatives expressed their opinions, Akinbade looked at Sebastian sincerely, waiting for his final decision.

"Ah," Sebastian sighed, "Since everyone is so kind to me, I will take on the work of the president."

As he spoke, his expression straightened and he glanced at everyone with a burning gaze.

"Now that I am the president, I must make some achievements. I know that everyone is most worried about Grindelwald and his saints."

"In that case, let's go meet him and see what his plan is!"
