Chapter 577 Backstabbing the Ministry of Magic

"Ha! You have today too!"

As soon as Mike finished speaking, Zhou Hong jumped out from behind Benjamin and gave Victor a middle finger.

Oh my god, he has really had enough of Victor these days.

At this time, I was so excited that I couldn't help myself.

Unfortunately, Benjamin quickly stopped his behavior. Victor was a member of the Freemasons anyway.

But Victor didn't react much to Zhou Hong's ridicule. He looked at Mike and said sincerely:

"Mike, trust me, this is not a good idea."

"But this is the safest way now, isn't it?" Mike shook his head and said, "Hey, Victor, listen. You stay in the base honestly for now, and when this operation is over, we will Come back and continue discussing this matter. You'll be fine, okay?"

"If that's what you insist on, fine."

Victor spread his hands, and the expression on his face seemed helpless, but also didn't seem to have changed at all.

Seeing this, Mike was not polite to him. He waved his hand and signaled the staff to turn off Victor's phone. Mike didn't lie to Victor. He really didn't mean to punish Victor, but now he had a more important thing to do. Therefore, he did not want to continue to listen to Victor and Zhou Hong's argument, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Shutting down Victor is a very tedious task, because a lot of data is not saved in real time, so the staff needs to manually back up some important data before shutting down, otherwise Victor will lose some memory after restarting.

So there was a very funny scene - Victor directed the staff to shut down his phone.

To be honest, this is a very unfair thing. After all, looking at this from Victor's perspective, he was wronged.

But Victor acted very calmly, even a little indifferent.

He remained expressionless throughout the process, and with a gentle tone, he directed the staff to back up important data, and finally turned off the energy source of Victor's body - a generating device that can generate electrical energy and magic energy respectively.

In this process, Zhou Hong showed a high degree of enthusiasm.

He had been studying this since he came back from Hogwarts, and now it finally came into use.

Unfortunately, in order to prevent him from avenging his personal revenge, his plan to participate in the shutdown process ultimately failed.

Finally, with the shutdown of the generating device, the various roaring machines in Victor's alchemy laboratory finally stopped moving, and Victor standing in front of Mike and others also closed his eyes and lost his voice.

Mike sighed and personally stepped forward to place Victor's body on the fixed charging seat. Then he turned around and said to the people behind him who were ready:

"Okay, now let's head off to the Ministry of Magic!"

"Yes, sir!"

Benjamin and others answered in unison, and then followed Mike to the teleportation hall.

In the teleportation hall at this time, a wizard team of twenty people was already waiting here in full gear.

These people were all selected by Arthur from various troops and were veterans who had experienced many key battles. They were currently the most elite combat wizards in the Los Santos Group, and they were also the backbone of this backstab operation.

Even though their number is small, in this world where personal force is elite, these twenty combat wizards who cooperate and have extremely strong personal strength are already a very powerful fighting force.

If they really wanted to fight, even Franklin and Benjamin might not be able to defeat them head-on.

After arriving at the teleportation hall, Mike had no ink stains and directly directed everyone to walk into the fireplace.

Thanks to the financial help of the Los Santos Group and the help of the remaining connections of the Order of the Phoenix, Kingsley's status within the Ministry of Magic has significantly improved. He is now the second-in-command in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and is expected to be in the near future. Directly replace the current Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

After all, the current director is really a bit of a loser.

And with the help of such a high-ranking undercover agent, Mike's action plan this time became extremely simple.

Kingsley had already opened a dedicated floo network fireplace in the Office for the Misuse of Magic on the second basement floor of the Ministry of Magic (which included the Office for the Misuse of Muggle Materials where Father Weasley worked). aisle.

They just need to teleport in quietly, and then start killing people and that's it.

The plan is simple, but its execution is very difficult, because no one knows how many emergencies will be waiting for them when the time comes.

So everyone, including Mike, looked solemn and looked worried.

And when they finally disappeared into the fireplace, a guy with an Asian face and dyed yellow hair suddenly appeared at the door of the teleportation hall.

He looked at the fireplace not far away, which was still smoking, and the corners of his mouth raised with an unknown smile. At the same time, there was a faint blue light flickering in his eyes.

…

On the second basement floor of the Ministry of Magic is the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic.

Although it is called an office, the area of ​​​​the Forbidden Abuse of Magic Office is actually much larger than an office in the conventional sense.

In fact, the main reason why it is called an office is because the Department for the Prohibition of the Abuse of Magic, where the Ministry of Magic was founded, is actually not large in scale, and it is an office worthy of its name.

Although it grew later, it still inherited the title of office.

Today it is structured more like an open modern company, with not only a front desk, a lobby, but also many small offices with partitions.

Of course, these offices are the workplaces of leaders. As for ordinary clerks, they can only work in unobstructed public office areas.

It was already early morning, and the large-scale climate simulation magic outside the window switched the day and night mode on time, making the orange-red sun like salted egg yolk slowly rise from the clouds on the horizon, and the glow it brought dyed the sky red, and then The light came in from the window again, and it was so beautiful.

But facing such a beautiful scenery, the clerks in the office area turned a blind eye, and they all lowered their heads listlessly and worked silently.

This cannot be blamed on their laziness. After all, due to the increase in emergencies in the country, civil servants like them have also begun to work voluntary overtime.

So far, they have been working continuously for nearly thirty hours.

Amidst the sound of turning pages and the rustling of the pen tip sliding on the parchment, a gray-haired young clerk picked up the wand and cast a refilling spell on his already empty tea cup.

Looking at the teacup that was refilled with strong tea, he sighed heavily, then stretched out, ready to take a sip of tea and continue working.

But at this moment, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a wisp of green smoke slowly rising from the fireplace in the hall.

His body that had just stretched suddenly froze, and he leaned down again with a nervous expression. He didn't even bother to drink tea before he started working again.

Because he knew very well that the fireplace was a special fireplace in the office where the misuse of magic was prohibited. The people who could come out of it were either leaders or senior clerks.

If they see you fishing by yourself, you will definitely be criticized again.

There were many people who had the same reaction as him. Everyone pretended to be working hard, but secretly observed the fireplace with their peripheral vision, trying to figure out who would return to the Office for the Abuse of Magic at this time.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of fireworks blooming, Mike and others and twenty elite combat wizards from Los Santos suddenly appeared in the hall.

The clerks who were secretly observing the fireplace looked puzzled when they saw this. They didn't recognize any of the people in front of them!

However, they did not become vigilant because of this, but continued to work seriously with their heads down.

After all, this is the largest department of the Ministry of Magic. The next floor up is the floor where the Minister of Magic and the Logistics Office are located. It is impossible for an intruder to directly attack here by skipping the departments downstairs.

And their performance also surprised Mike and others.

Benjamin, Franklin and others looked at each other with doubts written all over their faces.

The people here...seem to be a little too calm.

Shaking his head, the corners of Mike's mouth raised slightly.

Mike, who had never been a social animal, naturally couldn't understand the scene here, but this did not hinder his next actions.

He gently raised the elder wand in his hand, and with the ominous aura unique to the curse, a huge transparent ring-shaped blade suddenly formed around him and shot out quickly.

"feng!~"

The ring-shaped blade scraped through the air and erupted with a crisp sound. Then it cut through the entire office hall effortlessly like cutting tofu, removing all the furniture and those who were still sitting at their workstations working hard. The staff of the Ministry of Magic were all cut in half, and finally fell on the hard outer wall made of special anti-magic material in the office hall, carving a deep ravine on it.

This move was like a signal, and all the combatants around Mike also moved.

They turned into groups of black shadows and rushed toward the offices nearby!

This was also part of the original plan. Mike was responsible for dealing with the enemy's large forces and the tough and strong men. As for them, they needed to subdue the senior officials as quickly as possible to prevent them from leaking information and buy time for the entire operation.

It was only then that the clerks in the office hall reacted.

They looked at the black shadows flying in the hall with stunned expressions. Just as they were about to ask what happened, they found a sudden sharp pain in their necks, chests or waists.

They looked down in confusion and saw a line of blood spreading rapidly where they had just felt the pain, and eventually expanded into huge wounds that could completely cut off their bodies.

"ah!"

"Merlin's beard!"

"Medician! Medician!"

…

Countless screams accompanied by gushing blood rippled through the office hall. Except for the lucky man who was directly beheaded, the rest of the people did not die immediately after being cut in half, but fell in a pool of blood and howled miserably.

Standing in this hell-like scene, Mike acted very coldly.

He walked straight to the magic elevator and did not avoid the blood and various garbage spreading wantonly on the ground, but those things automatically avoided him as if they were conscious.

After arriving at the elevator room where the magic elevator was located, he did not press the button. Instead, he flipped his palm and soared into the air, reaching the first underground floor, where the minister's office and the logistics department were located.

Although it is the floor where the minister's office and the logistics department are located, it is completely different from the busy scene of the Abuse of Magic Office downstairs.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, the first thing that caught Mike's eyes was a long corridor with thick black marble doors on both sides.

Through magic perception, Mike can clearly 'see'.

Behind the marble door here are huge spaces opened up by the Traceless Stretching Curse, with massive amounts of supplies piled inside.

At this time, these supplies are passing through the magic freight elevator inherent in each space, and are transported by the house elves according to the needs of each department.

The entire process is quick, quiet, and requires no wizard intervention.

In fact, during the original Scrimgeour era and the previous tenures of other Ministers of Magic, the porters and custodians in these warehouses were actually all wizards from the Logistics Department.

This has also resulted in the Logistics Department becoming the most lucrative department in the entire Ministry of Magic.

After all, as an important department in charge of the materials of each department, if others want to successfully take materials from the Logistics Department, they must first establish a good relationship with the officials of the Logistics Department, which has considerable benefits.

No matter how bad it is, these watchdogs can still watch and steal, right?

But that all changed after Chris Flint became Minister for Magic.

He directly ignored the unspoken rule that the director of the Logistics Department had always been rotated by members of the family of the top chief of each major department, and directly announced that he was concurrently serving as the director of the Logistics Department, and laid off all wizard employees, using more loyal ones. House elves serve as staff in the logistics department.

There is no doubt that this move has made the flow of supplies throughout the Ministry of Magic more efficient.

It also triggered many senior officials within the Ministry of Magic.

Fortunately, Chris' legendary strength was strong enough that the officials who suppressed him did not dare to make mistakes, otherwise they would have overthrown someone else.

But these are all trivial matters. Chris's restructuring of the logistics department also caused the most serious consequence, which was that the defensive force of the logistics department became particularly weak.

In the corridor, looking at the closed doors, a bright smile appeared on Mike's face.
