#563 - Return (ask for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

Besides, these wizards weren't good people to begin with, not to mention the Death Eaters who were the culprits that ruined the Longbottoms, so Anduin had no psychological burden using them.

However, he had only created 5 test subjects so far, which might be a little too few for Anduin. He would have to wait until he ran out before asking Karkaroff to convert another batch.

Thinking of this, Anduin turned his head to look at Karkaroff, who had finally recovered next to him. The guy looked like he had just run a marathon, his face pale and bloodless.

"How is it? Have you recovered most of your magic?" Anduin said, handing over another bottle of tonic.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I've recovered a lot, but we're not going to continue, are we?" Karkaroff looked at Anduin with a bitter face. Casting the Cruciatus Curse repeatedly was also a considerable burden for him, and he was really afraid that Anduin would ask him to continue.

Anduin smiled slightly when he heard this, not expecting Karkaroff to be so afraid. "Let's stop here for today. We don't need to continue until the materials are used up."

Until they are used up? Every time Karkaroff saw Anduin coldly describe those captured wizards as consumables, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Becoming this man's enemy might be more tragic than death.

However, Anduin didn't care what Karkaroff was thinking at this time, and just reminded him, "Next, you will take Anais back to Durmstrang. After you return, don't forget what I told you to do."

"Yes, after I go back, I will immediately look for properties in the local wizard gathering area. Thanks to your care, Mr. Jacobsen trusts me very much now. Their patriarch personally met with me the day before yesterday. With me and them as cover, I can guarantee that your business will not be harassed in Norway!"

Without the threat of the Death Eaters, and with the support of the Jacobsen family, Karkaroff's courage was obviously much greater, and he seemed more confident.

Anduin had already planned to expand Silver Gleam Commerce to Northern Europe, but with the atmosphere in Northern Europe that rejected non-pure-blood wizards, it was difficult for him, a Muggle-born, to ensure that his business could proceed smoothly.

Therefore, he urgently needed to find a local agent with enough weight. Anduin had previously targeted Karkaroff, hoping to use his position as the Deputy Headmaster of Durmstrang as protection. Now that Karkaroff was expected to be promoted to Headmaster and had established a relationship with the local Jacobsen family, his expansion operation was even more guaranteed.

In fact, when formulating the Nordic action plan, Anduin had taken this into consideration. Therefore, provoking the Holy Land Society and the Club to fight each other, in addition to intensifying the conflict between the Nordic local forces and the Silver Spears, and further weakening the Club's strength, also served the purpose of clearing obstacles so that Silver Gleam Commerce could quickly establish itself, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

"Very good!" Hearing that Karkaroff was so confident, Anduin nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, he did not forget to draw a big cake for the other party, "As long as my business can successfully enter the Nordic market, you will be the agent of the entire Silver Gleam Commerce Nordic branch. At that time, you will also get a share of the profits of the commerce in Northern Europe. The profit sharing is tentatively set at 5%. If you do well, you will definitely benefit in the future."

"Yes! Thank you for your trust in me, sir." After hearing Anduin's promise, Karkaroff couldn't help but be ecstatic. He knew how popular Silver Gleam Commerce's products were.

In the past, Northern Europe could only buy Silver Gleam Commerce's products through some smugglers, so the premium was very serious. If he could control this channel in the future, presumably his position in Durmstrang and the Jacobsen family would be more stable.

"Well, let's stop here today, let's go back!" After Anduin said this, he led Karkaroff back to the forest outside the suitcase.

At this time, Aselia and Anais had been waiting outside the suitcase for a long time, and when Anais looked at Anduin again, there was no longer any confusion in her eyes, but more gratitude.

"Mr. Wilson, I have heard from my sister about her and you. Thank you for your care. I will definitely repay you in the future." Anais bowed deeply to Anduin.

Anduin didn't know how Aselia explained the relationship between the two, but he still smiled lightly, "I'm just fulfilling my promise. You don't have to be so polite, but there is one thing you have to remember. After you go back, don't mention my sister and me to anyone, can you do that?"

"Regarding this, my sister has already explained it to me clearly. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I'll just pretend I've never seen you." Anais replied very obediently.

"That's good!" Anduin turned his head and glanced at Karkaroff, "It's getting late, hurry up and take Anais back to school, lest it arouse suspicion."

"Yes!"

After Karkaroff responded respectfully, he stepped forward and put his arm around Anais's shoulder, and disappeared in place instantly.

"Sir, I didn't mention too much of your information to Anais, I just said that you saved my life in difficult times, and now I work under you." After seeing the two leave, Aselia came to Anduin and explained softly.

"You don't need to give me so many explanations, I believe you know what's right." Anduin smiled and looked at Aselia, "After seeing Anais's illness cured, presumably your knot should be resolved. In addition, I also told Karkaroff to take good care of Anais in school, so you don't need to worry too much about your sister."

"Thank you for your concern, sir." Aselia nodded gratefully to Anduin. What had troubled her the most all along was her sister's matter. As a result, she didn't expect Anduin to be so trustworthy and directly helped Anais to remove the curse.

After calming down, Aselia asked in a low voice, "Now that the matter in Northern Europe has been understood, what should we do next? Are we going back to Germany?"

"Yes." Anduin nodded without denying it, "We will set off immediately later, but although the Club should not receive the information about the destruction of Evil Granny and others in the short term, your identity will become very sensitive after the news reaches their ears."

"After all, as far as Jin Feixia and others are concerned, you should be a missing person, so you can't appear in the public eye in the short term, otherwise it will easily bring trouble to you and your sister. Before completely solving the Club, you should live in my suitcase first and help me take care of those magical creatures by the way."

"Yes!" Aselia knew that what Anduin said was true, and nodded immediately when she heard this. Anyway, she was originally an employee of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and taking care of magical creatures was also her job, which could even be connected with the public mission assigned to her by the Ministry of Magic.

After telling Aselia some precautions, Anduin let her return to the suitcase space, and then carried the suitcase and flew south.

This time, he didn't prepare an extra Portkey, and he didn't report to the local Ministry of Magic, so he had to fly back directly, and this journey would take at least a day and a night.

However, precisely because of this, the Club would never suspect the 'Thunderbird', because the 'Thunderbird's' Portkeys to and from Northern Europe had already been used up, and there was no other way to move over such a long distance. Therefore, the 'Thunderbird' who had already shown up at the Fire Snake would definitely not be a suspect in the attack on Evil Granny and others.

……

Two days later, German Auror Safe House.

Anduin, who had just returned from Northern Europe, appeared here again, and Andre and Moody had been waiting in the meeting room for a long time.

After the 'Concentric Circle Operation' jointly completed with the two countries' Ministries of Magic, and the plundering operation he privately completed in Northern Europe, the strategy against the Silver Spears has reached a further stage.

"Anduin, have you heard?" As soon as Anduin walked into the meeting room, Andre couldn't wait to gossip.

"The Holy Land Society and the Silver Spears in Northern Europe had a fierce fight in Norway. As a result, the Holy Land Society suffered heavy losses. Now the official institutions in Northern Europe have issued a joint statement, imposing a comprehensive sanction on all activities of the Silver Spears Club, and even issued a reward for the Silver Spears throughout Europe."

"Any individual wizard or organization in Europe, as long as they have the head of a Silver Spear, can receive a bounty from Northern Europe. It is said that the total amount is as high as 10,000 Galleons, which is really generous."

Andre muttered with a mocking expression. In his eyes, anything that made the Silver Spears unlucky was good news. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, the Nordic authorities had completely boycotted the Silver Spears Club after all.

"I heard." Anduin nodded calmly. "I also have a little inside information. It is said that those Silver Spears killed the headmaster of Durmstrang Magic School, which made the Nordic authorities so angry."

"What?" Andre and Moody looked at each other in surprise when they heard this, and then they all showed a 'no wonder' expression.

"I didn't expect the Silver Spears to be so rampant. Their old nest was raided and they dared to cause such a big thing outside. Are they crazy?" Moody didn't understand the key, and only felt that the recent actions of these Silver Spears seemed to have become more frequent. In the past, these people couldn't wait to hide in the ground, and they couldn't even see one.

Andre also nodded and said, "I think this may be a chain reaction after we raided the breeding park. The Silver Spears are openly active in Northern Europe, and they must be doing their old business. In this season, in such a cold place in Northern Europe, they still have to take risks, which just proves their weakness. Maybe the Silver Spears' funding chain has begun to dry up!"

Although Andre didn't know the information about the Elixir of Life, he still guessed a lot of information from the relevant details.
