Chapter 569 Restlessness

The revelry lasted all night long, and instead of subsiding, it intensified.

Deafening cheers echoed through the streets, as people raised their glasses to celebrate this decisive victory.

Swan Media's live broadcast and the uninterrupted replay of the recording after the war allowed the entire wizarding world to witness Sebastian's unparalleled power over and over again.

The names of the undercover agents at the Ministry of Magic's press conference made people clearly realize that in addition to Sebastian, countless people have paid a lot for victory.

Wizards from all over the world came to the new city overnight with different purposes. Some just wanted to see Voldemort's body before it was buried in the crystal coffin and witness the final fall of the Dark Lord. Some simply wanted to participate in this grand carnival in person and experience the glory of this legendary city with their own eyes.

Many of them have already considered staying here. The prosperity, freedom and security of the new city make them feel that this is the holy city of wizards in the magical world.

Even before dawn, the immigration window of the Ministry of Magic was crowded with people, many of whom were eager to line up, ready to submit their applications at dawn and become a member of this great city as soon as possible.

At the same time, the Ministry of Magic was in unprecedented busyness. Amelia Burns, the Minister of Magic, did not even have a moment's rest before she plunged into the intense and busy aftermath work.

The post-war cleanup work was far more difficult than the battle itself. Every task needed to be carried out quickly, including maintaining order at the site where the crystal coffin was placed, preparing for a press conference, adjusting post-war regulations, handling immigration matters after dawn, and burying the crystal coffin.

The more pressing issue was the large number of captured Death Eaters who needed to be rigorously interrogated and convicted.

Those with minor crimes would naturally be arranged for labor reform as soon as possible, while those with serious crimes like Bellatrix would be directly arranged to receive the Dementor's Kiss.

There were so many things to do that Amelia could only grit her teeth, rely on potions to keep herself awake, and do her best to deal with the storm that followed her victory.

In sharp contrast to Amelia's busyness, Sebastian slept soundly until noon the next day without any psychological burden.

I just completed a small goal, so shouldn’t I enjoy myself now? As for the next thing, I’ll talk about it after I’ve rested.

He granted himself a rare three-day vacation, intending to completely relax his body and mind.

After three days, when Grindelwald arrived in the new city as promised, he would cooperate with the other party to carefully stage a good show to completely wash away the other party's past stigma and make plans for the future.

At the same time, he also wanted to take one evening out of the three-day holiday to hold a small celebration party at Swan Manor and invite those students he valued to get together. It didn't need to be too extravagant, just simple and relaxing.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Just when he finished lunch and was about to ask the house-elf Jeff to deliver the invitations, Akinbad came to visit with several representatives from the Ministry of Magic of other countries, breaking his brief peace.

The situation is simple. After seeing how powerful Sebastian is, the magic ministers of some countries couldn't help but have some different ideas.

Voldemort has been destroyed, but the first Dark Lord Grindelwald is still at large in the wizarding world, and his forces still occupy Gringotts in various countries.

So, is it possible that instead of negotiating with the other party after three days, a trap was set for Sebastian to take action again, fight Grindelwald, and completely resolve this historical issue?

After all, it would be more reassuring to let the Saints take control of Gringotts than to let their own Ministry of Magic take control of it.

Once this idea emerged, it grew like weeds and could no longer be contained.

However, Sebastian was too powerful now, and they did not dare to disturb him directly, so they contacted representatives from various countries who were still in Hogsmeade and asked them to think of a solution.

The representatives had no choice but to nominate Akinbade, who had a closer relationship with Sebastian, to act as an intermediary.

To be honest, Akinbade was also quite troubled by this. But faced with the requests of so many representatives, he could not refuse and had to bite the bullet and bring people to visit them.

After sitting down in the reception room, Akinbad spoke first: "Sebastian, regarding Grindelwald, these representatives have some new ideas that they would like to discuss with you."

"Oh? If you have any ideas, please share them." Sebastian smiled and glanced at the seven or eight representatives present. "This is just a private meeting, so don't be shy."

Several representatives exchanged glances, and finally the representative of the German Ministry of Magic spoke first: "President, we have all witnessed your extraordinary strength in this battle."

Another representative of the French Ministry of Magic immediately said, "The demise of Voldemort has made the entire wizarding world breathe a sigh of relief, but -" He paused, as if weighing his words, "We are wondering, since the president has ended the rule of the second generation of the Dark Lord, should he...consider completely resolving the problems left over from the first generation of the Dark Lord?"

After these words were spoken, the reception room fell into a brief silence.

Several representatives looked at Sebastian at the same time, observing his reaction.

Sebastian's eyes swept over the representatives one by one, with a faint smile on his lips: "I remember that we will have the final cooperation negotiations with Grindelwald in Hogsmeade New Town in three days. Why does it sound like you all want me to fight again?"

"The press conference has been released. Do you want me to lose my credibility with the wizarding world?"

Upon hearing this, someone immediately tried to explain: "President, we are not trying to force you, it's just... the current wizarding world needs real stability. Although Grindelwald is not as crazy and bloodthirsty as Voldemort, his ideas and influence cannot be ignored. His followers have occupied Gringotts in various countries, and have even affected the normal operation of the wizarding world's economy."

Another representative from Italy echoed: "Moreover, his existence itself is a hidden danger. No one can be sure whether he has really given up his past ambitions."

"Yes, President," said the Spanish representative, "Why don't we take this opportunity to set up an ambush in the New Town and eliminate Grindelwald directly. By then, you will become a great man who has eliminated two Dark Lords, and your name will be forever praised in the wizarding world."

Akinbade watched the representatives talking at once and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

During the First Wizarding War, these countries were deeply influenced by Grindelwald. Now that they see Sebastian can easily defeat Voldemort, it is understandable that they have some different thoughts in their hearts.

However, he knew Sebastian too well. If these people thought they could get him to take action with just a few nice words, they were totally wrong.

Sure enough, Sebastian just smiled and tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "Your concerns are indeed reasonable, and your requests are also reasonable, but..."

He drew out the last word, narrowed his eyes, and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse!"
