Chapter 442 ?Meeting

Chapter 442 Meeting

In the meeting room of the Freemasonry, all the members of the Freemasonry were sitting on both sides of the meeting table, staring at the smiling Mike at the head of the table.

This is already the second collective meeting in the past two months. Compared with the past few months where there was not necessarily a meeting, this frequency is really too high, which makes sitting here now All the members looked solemn.

Especially Benjamin, who now looks overworked and looks very ugly.

In the past half month, he had been working overtime almost every day in order to sell the magic cloth liquid and the captives.

Especially the group of prisoners, who began to make various demands after discovering the existence of a good man like Benjamin.

The faces shown by some of them are nothing short of ugly!

Under such torture, Benjamin gradually lost patience with these prisoners, and he began to forcefully put these prisoners into factories for production as coolies in accordance with Mike's original policy.

This move made those he had helped hate him even more, and made Benjamin more determined that what he was doing was right.

Some people don't deserve your kindness!

After dealing with these things, Benjamin originally thought he could take a good rest.

But they didn't expect that Mike actually informed them that they were going to have a general meeting again!

This made Benjamin panic, fearing that Mike would give him some difficult work to do again.

But Mike, who was sitting in the first seat, obviously didn't know what his members were thinking. Seeing everyone's serious expressions, he smiled and clapped and said:

"Okay, everyone, let's smile. Why are you so serious?"

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room laughed.

It's just that their smiles are all superficial, and they look very ugly.

After shaking his head, Mike probably understood that he had scared everyone, and then explained:

"Okay, actually, I asked you to come here this time to share the joy and celebrate. After all, our magic cloth and magic liquid sales plan was very successful! Oh, by the way! I have to say this Don't praise George and Fred, you two did a great job! Without your help, our sales in France would not be so smooth!"

As he spoke, Mike gave a thumbs up to the Weasley brothers who had just returned from France in the corner of the conference room.

The latter did not speak. The two just smiled, and then raised their thumbs in reply in a tacit understanding.

“At this stage, our international business is on the right track, and the next step is to steadily improve and maintain profits.

There are a lot of talented people within the Los Santos Group who can be involved in these jobs, Penelo, you just need to make some decisive decisions later.

But we must remember that we must not make the mistake of a layman leading an expert. When it comes to finance, they are the ones who really know the business. "

Penello nodded, and the quill floating beside him quickly recorded Mike's words on the notepad.

"In addition, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is about to start. Everyone should be very clear about the current situation. Voldemort and the Death Eaters are acting more and more recklessly, and the difficulties we will face will become more and more severe. The bigger.

So I won’t say much more, let’s all work hard together.

Okay, that's all I have to say. Next, if you have anything else to discuss, please bring it up. If not, I have already asked the house elves to prepare for the banquet. We will go there and celebrate in a while! "

After saying this, Mike began to clear up his desk. In his opinion, there was a high probability that his members would not have any major problems. In fact, this was indeed the case. Others around the conference table had already stood up happily. .

It's just that plans can never keep up with changes. Just when everyone was happily preparing to go to the outdoor banquet, a serious and familiar voice suddenly came over.

"Mike, I have one more thing to say."

Mike was stunned for a moment, turned his head in the direction of the sound, and saw a rare solemn expression on Franklin's face.

Ever since, Mike also put away his smile and said seriously:

"What's up?"

"It's a Muggle thing. Do you remember how we went about doing chivalry in Muggles some time ago?"

Mike nodded.

This incident was a big deal at the time, and almost most Muggles in the country knew that there were people with super powers rescuing the victims.

Theoretically speaking, with the current capabilities of the Ministry of Magic, they couldn't suppress this matter, but they don't know what methods the Ministry of Magic used. They actually persuaded the Muggle Prime Minister to help them restrict the flow of information.

With the help of the Muggle Prime Minister and the refutation of rumors, stories about people with super powers rescuing victims slowly disappeared in the country.

After thinking for a moment, Mike asked:

"Has there been any subsequent change in this matter?"

"It's like this. Recently, the Muggle Prime Minister's people are looking for us everywhere. Some men in black suits even came to my house!"

There was an uproar in the conference room as soon as Franklin said this.

You must know that they themselves will be fine in the face of the malice of the Muggle society. After all, they are all wizards with supernatural powers, but their families are different!

If the Muggle government is really so crazy that they want to find out who they are hiding behind the scenes through their Muggle family members, then they really have no choice at all.

Seeing everyone getting more and more excited, Franklin continued with a serious expression:

"But they don't seem to have any malicious intent. On the contrary, their attitude can even be considered very respectful! But I'm sure that their target is definitely us!"

Franklin waved his wand, and a piece of ordinary A4 paper flew out, with a sentence written on it - 'Hello, powerful wizards, we have no ill intentions and just want to meet you. ’

"The group of people secretly placed this in my house. I only discovered it when I checked the house after learning the news."

As he spoke, Franklin placed the A4 paper on the table, and everyone came forward to circulate it.

But after reading it, everyone's expressions were not very good. Faced with this situation, they really had no good solution. In the end, they could only turn their attention to Mike, who was in the first seat with his eyes closed and meditating.

The conference room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long time, Mike slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone expressionlessly.

"I have made things clear, and I also know what you are most worried about right now." Mike looked around at everyone and said crisply, "But please rest assured, as we swore when we joined the Freemasons, we will always be will be a whole. So I announce that the Masonic Secret Realm will now be open to your parents and family members. If you feel that their life safety has been threatened, you can take them to the Masonic Secret Realm for refuge. I New residential areas and living facilities will be built here to ensure their safety.

Of course, this is only a last resort. I believe that all parents should have their own work and life. It is obviously impossible for them to abandon everything they have at once, especially in such an existence where it is still unclear whether the danger exists. So on the basis of the previous ones, I will also send staff from the Los Santos Group to install basic alarm and defense systems for your houses in the Muggle world, and at the same time provide your families with a certain degree of protection to ensure that they are in danger. When it comes, you will have enough time to escape into the secret realm of Freemasonry. "

As soon as Mike finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally gloomy and tense atmosphere in the conference room was swept away.

Everyone here is not a fool. They are very touched that Mike can put the safety of their families first. If there is a stupider and cold-blooded leader, they may not care about the safety of their families at all. They only care about their own interests and those of the organization.

It is an honor to be able to follow such a boss!

Everyone thought so in unison, while still looking at Mike with grateful eyes.

But Mike obviously didn't have time to enjoy this. His expression was still solemn, he stood up and frowned and said:

"You don't need to look at me like this. These are what I should do. In addition, in addition to ensuring the personal safety of your family members, we must also find out what the Muggles' attitude is and where they got it from. Our information, these are also very important things. Benjamin, I leave this matter to you and Franklin. You go and test it out to find out the other party’s intentions. When necessary, you can even reveal your identity and use magic. Curse, on this mission, I give you unlimited power to fire."

Benjamin shook his head in pain. He knew very well that his rare rest was gone again.

Franklin on the side looked embarrassed and said with a tangled expression:

"Mike, I'm very grateful that you can give us unlimited fire rights. This is a sign of your trust in us, but the Ministry of Magic..."

"You don't have to worry about the Ministry of Magic! They can't protect themselves right now, so they don't have time to worry about you."

The words were directly interrupted by Mike. Franklin nodded silently and sat back in his seat.

Mike, on the other hand, supported the table with both hands and said to everyone:

"I know you are all worried about your families right now, so the banquet will be temporarily canceled. Now, you go home quickly."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they left the conference room as if fleeing. Benjamin and Franklin went to prepare for the next task with grimaces.

Seeing everyone leaving, Mike relaxed a little, sat down slowly and began to pack his things.

But at this moment, the two Weasley brothers suddenly came to Mike.

"Hey! Bro, are you okay?"

"Stupid George, how could Mike be fine after such a difficult thing happened?"

"What are you talking about, idiot Fred! Well, okay, I admit that I did say it wrong. Mike, what I want to say is that you don't have to worry too much about this matter. After all, this is just a small problem in the Muggle world, I believe that Benjamin and Franklin will be able to handle this matter with their abilities."

Looking at the two Weasley brothers who were singing along and using very clumsy means to comfort themselves, Mike also had a smile on his face. He nodded slightly and said:

"Well, I hope the facts will develop as you said. Also, do you have anything else to come to me for?"

The Weasley brothers looked at each other with a bit of surprise on their faces. They didn't expect that Mike would see through their trick right away.

"Well, I really can't hide anything from you." George spread his hands and said, "We do have something to tell you."

Fred said again:

"In fact, this is an invitation. You may not know that Dumbledore put Harry in our home some time ago. Now Harry has been in our home for more than a week. We all like him very much. It just so happens. , Harry’s birthday is coming soon, so we thought of holding a birthday party for him. And you are his good friend, we must invite you. "

Mike's brows furrowed again. Harry had not yet mastered Occlumency at this stage, so gathering together like this was really a terrible doctrine.

He almost instinctively wanted to persuade the Weasley brothers to cancel the party, but the Weasley brothers in front of him seemed to see something from Mike's expression. They said first:

"It's said to be a birthday party, but actually it's just a super small dinner. Apart from the people from the Order of the Phoenix, we only invited you and Hermione, so there shouldn't be any danger. Just agree!"

Facing the big sincere eyes of George and Fred, Mike really couldn't say no.

So, after much hesitation, Mike finally agreed to the other party's request.

Then the next scene that stunned Mike happened. After completing their goals, George and Fred ran away without looking back, leaving only a confused Mike in the empty place. in the conference room.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Mike, who had come back to his senses, smiled faintly, said nothing, picked up the documents he had packed before and walked out of the conference room.

But as soon as he reached the door, a voice behind him stopped him again.

"Wait, have you forgotten something?"

Mike turned around and saw Zhou Hongzheng crossing his arms and looking at him with dissatisfaction.

In just a moment, Mike realized that when he went to Avery's Secret Realm, he had agreed with Zhou Hong that he would test his transformation when he returned, but when he looked back, he simply forgot about it. .

"Oh, isn't this Zhou Hong? Why don't you make any sound when you walk!" Mike patted his head and said with a smile, "I was planning to go find you just now, but now is the time, let's go. "
