#586 - Hearing (ask for monthly recommendation ticket)

Just as the German wizarding world was buzzing with Andr\\'{e}'s heroic deeds, a scene of infighting was unfolding within the Silver Spears Club, which had inexplicably been framed. Google Search Reading

On this day, Thunderbird and Gold Flyer, using sneak attacks in the headquarters' reception room, effortlessly killed three Spears, solely to secure their own survival.

Therefore, in an organization like the Silver Spears, which seems harmless but is extremely selfish, collapse can happen in an instant.

Even those who usually work diligently for the club's development will not hesitate to draw their knives when personal interests are involved, and of course, given the chance, the other Spears would probably make the same choice.

After a 'busy' day, Gold Flyer was also very tired, slumped on the sofa, wondering what had gone wrong.

How could so many bad things happen within a month, even bringing the once-thriving club to the brink of collapse?

But he didn't have time to think about these things now. Tomorrow's hearing was the biggest challenge he had to face. He could already foresee that tomorrow, those people would use the affairs of civilian groups as an excuse to attack him.

However, Pete calculated the power he currently held. The three heads of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and a large number of managerial wizards under them represented most of the Ministry of Magic's resources. With their support, accusations without evidence could not shake his foundation.

As for those councilors in the Wizengamot, in Pete's eyes, they were a bunch of ingrates and fence-sitters. In the end, they would side with whoever had the most power.

Just like his experience today, although those wizarding families were very cold to him, they didn't dare to directly fall out with him, obviously still wanting to see how things played out.

Perhaps it was because of the recent pressure, but Pete's thoughts were still leaning towards optimism.

In fact, the main reason was that Andr\\'{e}'s plan compressed every action into a tight schedule. He rescued people yesterday and held a public trial tomorrow, giving Gold Flyer no time to react. At the same time, the secrecy was excellent, and the information released was very moderate. →

This left Gold Flyer in a state of unease, but it didn't seem like the worst had happened yet.

The next day, the Ministry of Magic.

Pete, with a frown, arrived at the Ministry early. In front of him was a copy of today's newspaper, the content of which was still related to those park wizards, writing about the severe inhumane torture suffered by the victims in prison, and severely criticizing the Silver Spears' brutality.

Unsurprisingly, the club's reputation in Germany was definitely ruined. It would be very difficult to recruit partners under the name of the Silver Spears in the future.

But he was also very helpless in the face of this situation. The club was not a legitimate organization, and he couldn't refute it at all. If he dared to say a good word for the club now, he would probably be drowned in spittle.

Just as he was feeling troubled, Michelle knocked on his door, "Minister, the public inquiry hearing is about to begin. The location is in the First Trial Room!"

"I know!" Pete immediately put on a solemn expression upon hearing this, and at the same time, he instructed Michelle, "Remember to call all the heads of the departments, big and small. We have to get through this together."

"Don't worry, I have notified everyone. Everyone is your strong support and will not let this incident bring you negative impact," Michelle knew what Pete was worried about.

"Well, let's go!" Pete nodded slightly relieved.

When Pete walked out of the Minister's office, dozens of wizards had already gathered outside his door, including the heads and deputy heads of the three departments of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, as well as the heads and supervisors of the offices under each department.

Then he took the lead, leading this group of people to the First Trial Room in a mighty manner. This was his way of showing everyone his influence through practical actions. →

When this group of people arrived at the trial room, the interior was already full of people, including all the Wizengamot councilors, representatives of major wizarding families watching, Andr\\'{e}, and a large number of media reporters.

The people in the trial room were all secretly surprised when they saw Pete leading so many people. This was more than half of the Ministry of Magic's management.

The representatives of those wizarding families also looked at Edmund with some guilt. To be honest, the power that Pete was showing now made them feel somewhat guilty. Did they really have to oppose him this time?

However, Edmund and Andr\\'{e} both remained very calm in the face of Pete and others entering the trial room, as if this was already within their expectations. Edmund even took the time to glance at the representatives of the families, giving them a reassuring look.

When facing the scene before him, Pete also did not show the slightest abnormality, still wearing a spring-like smile, leisurely came to the front of the podium and sat down. The trial room has always been the responsibility of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, even if he is the Minister, he has to sit on the sidelines.

After everyone was seated, the entire trial room was crowded, but the scene fell into an extremely oppressive silence. Even the reporters felt this strange atmosphere, making them afraid to breathe.

Andr\\'{e} glanced around, then leisurely stood in front of the trial stage and shouted loudly, "Now that everyone is here, let's not be verbose!"

"Since this inquiry hearing is to truly understand the truth of the vicious imprisonment incident against wizards and Muggles that occurred the day before yesterday, it is not a formal trial, so please don't be too nervous, and please don't interfere with the relevant interrogators."

After Andr\\'{e} said this, everyone was not interested in his 'humorous' speech, and many people couldn't help but roll their eyes. With the posture in the trial hall now, you tell me not to be nervous? Are you sure you're not kidding?

Andr\\'{e} ignored everyone's reaction and went straight to the topic, "Okay, I announce that the public inquiry into the 'vicious imprisonment incident of 537 wizards and Muggles' officially begins!"

"Please welcome the first party involved, Semon Nason!"

As Andr\\'{e} spoke, a door next to the circular trial room opened directly, and then Nason, who had changed back into formal clothes, walked out of it.

To be honest, as a former ordinary wizard, it was the first time he had seen the scene before him. Wizards in various gorgeous costumes were sitting on a circular high platform like a lecture hall, while he was standing alone in the center of the venue, which made him feel a little nervous.

After Nason stood still, Andr\\'{e} smiled at him, "Today is just to understand the situation from you, please don't be nervous, now please tell us your name, where you are from, and your previous job."

"Yes! Director Andr\\'{e}!" Nason shouted a little loudly out of excitement, which made many people around him cover their faces and laugh, which caused Nason to have to continue with a red face, "I am Semon Nason, from West Berlin, graduated from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and used to work in an unknown breeding park."

Andr\\'{e} nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, please tell us in detail the entire process of being illegally imprisoned, starting from the day you discovered you were imprisoned."

"Yes!" Andr\\'{e}'s steady voice calmed Nason down a lot, and then he carefully recounted, "That day, I was originally resting normally in the park's dormitory, but suddenly two Silver Spear Guns broke into my residence, and then..."

Nason meticulously repeated everything that happened to him in detail, from the attack, the discovery of being imprisoned, what he saw and heard in prison, and how he made up his mind to escape, even the whole process of escape, and the situation after escaping and meeting Andr\\'{e} and others were explained clearly.

At first, he stuttered a bit due to nervousness, but he quickly adapted. Since these were all things he had just experienced, he spoke vividly, making everyone present feel as if they were on the scene.

After listening to Nason's description in detail, many people in the venue were impressed by his brave actions, and at the same time, they developed a sincere disgust for the Silver Spears.

In the beginning, many people were disdainful of the exaggerated content in the newspaper, but the person's experience was even more outrageous than what was seen on paper, so how inhuman were these Silver Spear Guns to do such brutal things.

"Finally, with the help of Mr. Wilson, I followed Director Andr\\'{e} and others to successfully return to the prison. Under the leadership of Director Andr\\'{e}, after a hard fight, we finally rescued the remaining companions. Many of them are still recuperating, and we can regain our freedom thanks to Director Andr\\'{e}, as well as Director Schmidt, Mr. Wilson, and a group of Aurors."

In the end, Nason very modestly bowed deeply to Andr\\'{e} on the high platform, and the surrounding wizards couldn't help but give warm applause, including Pete himself, and even his applause can be said to be the most enthusiastic, as if he was really moved by Nason's deeds.

"I just did what I should do as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. The person you should really thank is yourself. After all, without your and Bob's heroic performance, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to lend you a hand."

After Andr\\'{e} comforted him with a smile, he said again with a serious face, "However, we still need you to explain some details in the process of your narration, starting with the work you mentioned earlier. You seem to have said that you used to work in an unknown breeding park, can you explain it to us in detail?"

Hearing Andr\\'{e}'s question, everyone immediately turned their attention to Nason in the center of the venue, and Pete's heart also skipped a beat, knowing that the main event was coming.

"Yes..." No one had communicated with Nason before he came, so he didn't have any psychological pressure. Anyway, he only knew that he would answer whatever Andr\\'{e} asked.
