Chapter 542: Enraged Voldemort

[The Saints take over Gringotts completely to ensure the stable operation of Gringotts! ]

[Grindelwald personally promised: Wizards' deposits are safe and secure, and Saints will provide better financial services than goblins! ]

[The new president of the International Confederation of Wizards, Sebastian Swann, and representatives from various countries negotiated with Grindelwald. The negotiations went smoothly and the two sides reached a preliminary consensus. ]

[Where will Gringotts go in the future? The second round of negotiations on the core issue of concern to the wizarding world will begin in a week! ]

[A turning point for peace? What does Grindelwald's return mean? 】

[The shadow of war gradually dissipates, and the magic world ushered in a new order? 】

The successive breaking news completely detonated the entire wizarding world, and many people who had been worried about the outbreak of war and social unrest finally breathed a sigh of relief, and some were even so excited that they cheered.

It’s great that there is no war!

For ordinary people, what they really care about is peace and stability.

Grindelwald and the Saints are so famous that the elders in almost every wizarding family have told their stories.

During the First Wizarding War, countless wizards died and the wizarding world's population plummeted from a level that has yet to fully recover.

And now, after the Saints drove out the Death Eaters and occupied Gringotts, instead of showing any signs of starting a war, they ensured the normal operation of Gringotts, as if it was really as Grindelwald said, just to ensure the safety of everyone's property.

In this way, the people don't have to worry about the property stored in Gringotts being plundered by the saints and used directly as military expenses.

Swan Media's news channel started a 24-hour live broadcast. The first step was to confirm that the new president of the Wizarding Association did not rashly start a war, but instead saw through Grindelwald's attitude through negotiations.

Some heavyweight guests analyzed Grindelwald's return and his position from different angles, especially the guardian theory he advocated.

Negotiations between the Wizarding Society and Grindelwald were the focus of discussion.

Commentators have interpreted the potential pros and cons of this negotiation. Some have stressed that Grindelwald did not take radical measures when he returned this time, but chose to seek balance in the wizarding world through negotiations. This move is completely different from the Dark Lord's previous style.

All commentators agree that if the current momentum continues, the two sides will most likely be able to coexist peacefully. Ideally, after the second round of negotiations, the two sides will most likely move directly into a state of full cooperation.

If you want to whitewash Grindelwald, it is not enough to rely solely on the analysis of commentators on Swan Media. After all, no matter how good these people talk, the public still wants to see real actions.

In order to further stabilize the situation, some carefully planned public relations actions were also going on smoothly while the news reports were being broadcast.

Early the next morning, some arranged assistants went to Gringotts, which was controlled by the Saints, to withdraw money. After seeing them successfully withdraw their deposits without any damage, some wizards who were originally hesitant began to get excited.

When those who tested the waters returned safely, more and more people went to Gringotts to handle business.

Although most of the wizards who came here were there to withdraw money, and some even took out all the property in the vault directly, the saints did not stop them. They still maintained the withdrawal process that was no different from that of the goblins with a smile on their faces.

All this is only temporary. Once things are completely stable, these wizards will still deposit their wealth in the bank.

Thor led the brave ones, and the brave ones led the timid ones. When more and more wizards witnessed and experienced it with their own eyes, people's doubts gradually dissipated, and they began to believe that Grindelwald's jailbreak was not intended to disrupt the wizarding world.

The people were relieved, but some people could not sit still. Just as Sebastian had expected, after the news was broadcast, Voldemort went straight into a rage.

The air in the Riddle Mansion seemed frozen, and it was so dull that it was suffocating. Although it was midsummer, the chill that permeated the room could not be dispelled.

The Death Eaters sat quietly on both sides of the long table. Even Bella, who had always been crazy, was as obedient as a sheep.

Voldemort sat at the end of the long table, his dark robes hanging down to the ground, casting shadows over his snake-like face. His red eyes were even more dazzling in the dim light, like two gems burning with anger.

His fingers tapped the table slowly, and each tap was like a countdown before the Grim Reaper's scythe fell, causing the Death Eaters to hold their breath involuntarily.

"Can anyone tell me what happened? Why were my Death Eaters so vulnerable to the attacks of the Saints and failed to defend any Gringotts?"

No one dared to make any sound, and the Death Eaters lowered their heads and stiffened their backs. They all knew that the consequences of the Dark Lord's wrath would be far more terrible than a battle.

“Gringotts was just given away like that.” Voldemort said softly, his tone terrifyingly calm, as if he was narrating an insignificant matter. However, everyone could hear the raging rage hidden beneath this calm surface.

"I don't care about Gringotts, but I didn't expect my men to be so incompetent." His voice gradually became low, and every word seemed to carry a chill that penetrated into everyone's bones.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees. The defeated Death Eaters were sweating profusely, but they didn't even have the courage to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

Voldemort looked at the Death Eaters who were cowering in silence before him, the rage in his chest almost burning him to death.

This bunch of rubbish!

However, even though he was extremely angry, he did not torture them to the ground like he had done in the past.

He forced himself to suppress his anger, not out of pity, but because the situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The Death Eaters' expansion plan had just begun to show results when they were driven back to Britain by the Saints. What made him even more unbearable was that he personally tried to test it, but he didn't get any advantage from Grindelwald.

Voldemort's face became increasingly gloomy.

Thinking back to that battle, he wished he could turn everything in front of him into dust.

He originally thought that after decades of imprisonment, Grindelwald's magic power was no longer what it used to be, and even if he had some strength left, he would never be able to match him. But the facts proved that he was wrong.

Grindelwald was still powerful, and he did not have the upper hand in that confrontation.

If Voldemort had not been afraid of Sebastian's actions in the dark and did not want a third party to benefit, he would never have given up. He was confident that if he fought hard, he would definitely make that old man Grindelwald look bad.

After suffering such a great loss, Voldemort originally planned to regroup and restore the prestige of the Death Eaters in the shortest possible time to prevent the people in the wizarding world from thinking that they were frightened by the saints.

However, variables came again.

Sebastian, that stupid guy, actually took the initiative to find Grindelwald and start negotiations with him.

Voldemort's frown deepened.

what is this?

According to his speculation, the future situation of the magic world will inevitably evolve into a three-way melee, and Sebastian's wisest choice should be to sit back and watch the fight, waiting for the situation to become clear.

After all, the struggle between the two dark lords can only bring benefits to Sebastian, not harm.

But he chose to negotiate?

It's not just negotiations. From all indications, these two people even have a tendency to cooperate!

Voldemort's face turned completely gloomy, and the red light in his eyes became more and more glaring.

This is not possible!

If Sebastian really stands on the same front as Grindelwald, then he is the most dangerous one and must find a way to break the deadlock.
