Chapter 1595: A War Without a Winner (Part 47)

Chapter 1597 A War Without a Winner (Forty-Seven)

"It's rare that you have time to come here in person."

The figure hiding under the tree with an umbrella suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the noise, smiling and raising his hand to greet the familiar figure that came into view.

"Found it?"

Kingsley came over with a black umbrella, followed by two Aurors in the rain.

"It's hidden in that abandoned house."

Albert nodded at the ruins and said, "Gadwin Robards just led his men in. As long as their luck is not too bad, they will definitely catch your target."

"Thank you for making a trip on a rainy day."

Kingsley turned his head and stared at the ruins. There didn't seem to be any big noise over there, but soon he saw red sparks blooming in the rain, which meant that the capture operation had been successful.

"It's just what we need." Albert said.

Kingsley raised his eyebrows slightly at this, thinking that he shouldn't use his favor to ask Albert to help find someone.

"If you regret it, you can also pay the fee. I can give you a 20% discount for the first time, only 800 Galleons." Albert seemed to see through Kingsley's mind and said with a smile, "It's not expensive, it's worth it."

"Not expensive?"

The two fools beside Kingsley who were caught in the rain twitched their mouths.

800 Galleons for a divination is not expensive?

Robbery doesn't make money that fast.

"I owe you a favor."

Kingsley didn't plan to pay the Galleons directly in the end.

It's not that he thinks it's expensive.

Well, Kingsley really can't afford it. Because the cash-strapped Ministry of Magic rejected the proposal to spend a lot of money to ask Albert to help find someone.

After all, he is only a temporary minister, and some things are not good to do too much.

Moreover, everyone wants to get it for free, hoping that Albert can also provide free help like Dumbledore in the past.

But Albert is not Dumbledore.

So the free help failed and the problem was not solved.

So there have been a large number of Inferi attacks recently.

In order to completely solve this big problem, Kingsley had to shamelessly ask Albert for help.

Albert also agreed.

As for what to give back this favor?

The worst case scenario is to sacrifice the position of Minister. Kingsley believes that Albert will definitely not ask him to do anything excessive.

So, he did not lose.

The two walked side by side towards the ruined house. The "battle" inside was over.

In fact, it was not a battle.

Harry first wore an invisibility cloak and sneaked into the ruins to wait for the opportunity. After the Auror team rushed in with great fanfare and attracted all the attention of the dark wizards from the front, Harry took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. It took only a few seconds to easily subdue the three dark wizards. It was really a true lesson from Albert.

It can only be blamed on the dark wizards for not being careful and not preparing detection items such as peepholes for themselves, otherwise it would be impossible for people to easily touch them without noticing.

However, the three probably didn't even dream that their secret hiding place would be suddenly exposed, so they were caught off guard and wiped out.

"All three have confessed."

Percy handed the recorded confession to Kingsley and reported the latest situation to him.

"The batch of Inferi was indeed provided by the Death Eaters, but they don't know who is behind it. The man is wearing a Death Eater mask."

"There is another thing. The three have just caused an attack."

"Then let everyone work hard and go to deal with the attack." Kingsley looked at Gadwin, and after the other nodded, he said, "As for these three bastards, we will take them back to the Ministry of Magic later."

After Gadwin greeted, the Aurors hurried to deal with the Inferi attack.

"Is there any way to pry the information we need from them?"

After the Aurors left, Kingsley turned his head and asked Albert.

Gadwin Robards took out the truth serum from his pocket and said in a low voice, "Or, give them some more. This time, increase the dosage, and you can always pry something out of their mouths."

The two Aurors guarding the door outside exchanged glances and pretended that they didn't hear anything.

"Haven't you guessed it long ago? The three of them were paid cannon fodder from the beginning."

Albert thought it was a little funny that Kingsley was unwilling to accept reality. He didn't believe that he couldn't guess this.

Just as Albert said, someone hired them to do that, creating chaos every few days, ten Galleons each time.

The money was not much, but the task was easy and it was a continuous task. For most dark wizards, there was no reason to refuse at all, not to mention that they were not British. They would just pat their butts and leave after the task was completed.

"What are you going to do next? Are you going to send them to the court of trial?" Gadwin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.

"Trial, no, they died because of the backlash of the spell because they revealed some secrets." Kingsley had sentenced the three to death.

Gadwin looked at Kingsley in astonishment. Although he didn't know what the Minister was going to do, he obviously had his own plans.

As for the three bastards who had committed numerous crimes, they should have died long ago. I believe that no one in the entire magic world would care about their lives.

"I won't get involved in the affairs of your Ministry of Magic." Albert was not interested in getting involved in the struggle between Kingsley and the "pure blood", so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"I want to know who is the mastermind behind the scenes. This shouldn't be difficult." Kingsley said as he looked at Albert's departing back.

"It shouldn't be difficult, but... this is the second time."

Albert stopped, turned his head and looked at Kingsley and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Anyway, if you owe one, you owe two."

Kingsley suddenly felt that he could owe more, even if he couldn't pay them all off. As long as he could tie the interests of both parties together, he wouldn't lose.

Albert took a deep look at Kingsley and took out the crystal ball to divine the murderer behind the attack for Kingsley.

Gadwin stared at Albert who was fortune-telling, and suddenly a strange thought came to his mind: If Albert had become the Minister of Magic, there would probably be no trouble now.

It’s not that Kingsley is not good enough, but the young man in front of him who ended the wizard war can always bring miracles to everyone, and is more suitable for cleaning up the current mess than Kingsley.

Unfortunately, he is too young.

"It seems that you have stirred up a hornet's nest."

A voice drew Gadwin Robards' attention back.

A round table was reflected in the crystal ball, and many people were sitting at the table. Although some people's faces were covered by shadows, most people's faces could be seen clearly.

As Kingsley expected, the group of people whose interests were damaged united and began to cause trouble for themselves.

Looking at the table of people in the crystal ball, Gadwin Robards suddenly regretted why he didn't leave first!
