Chapter 731 My Friends, It’s Time to Make Changes!

"I know that among you there are lowly thieves, vicious thugs, and dark wizards who specialize in forbidden magic and are not allowed to be tolerated by the world. You are extremely adaptable here, and you even take the initiative to create chaos and enjoy it..."

“But I think there are more people who are tired of those unreasonable fights, and don’t want the blood of strangers to be stained in front of their houses, and don’t want their children and relatives to face the risk of death when walking on the street. ...I’m even more fed up with the endless exploitation of the weak by the strong!”

"Those perpetrators never have any sympathy at all. As long as they think you are weak and can be bullied, they will take away your remaining rations without mercy..."

Having said this, Ivan's tone became more and more high-pitched. He looked at the moved faces in the audience and spoke again.

"So... my friends, it's time to make changes. Knockturn Alley is in desperate need of order!"

“Starting from today, we won’t have to worry about being involved in an unknown melee when we walk outside, and having our hard-earned meager income stolen, and we don’t have to worry about being bullied by thugs...

We will live in a brand new place, a new home that abandons chaos and has order! "

Ivan's words resounded in everyone's minds like a bell.

Many dark wizards had uneasy expressions on their faces. They looked around in fear. More people's emotions had been aroused by these words.

Just as Ivan thought, the largest number of people in a slum are poor people. Most of them grew up here, and a small number of them moved from other places and settled here.

These people are victims of the chaos in Knockturn Alley. According to outsiders, they are a group of cockroaches and mice hiding in the corner, a group of people... who have been completely abandoned by the magical world!

No one hates the chaos here more than they do, and no one looks forward to order more than they do.

In order to complete the task of rectifying Knockturn Alley, Ivan knew that he must try to win the support of these people!

However, just as Ivan was speaking, an extremely discordant voice suddenly sounded.

"If the Ministry of Magic can't even control this place, who do you think you are?"

Ivan's speech stopped. He heard the sound and looked over. The person who spoke was a middle-aged wizard in his thirties, who looked gloomy and aggressive.

"That's a good question! It's just that I don't like people interrupting me when I'm talking. Do you understand?" The smile on Ivan's face remained unchanged, and he was still so polite.

The law enforcers who were watching couldn't help but shudder.

Only the middle-aged wizard showed some disdain on his face. He thought Ivan's reaction was a sign of cowardice and fear. But before he could speak again, Ivan on the stage suddenly waved his hand without warning. Wand.

"Crucio~ (Heart-cutting out the bones)"

An indescribable pain instantly swept through his body. The middle-aged wizard who had been so angry before fell to the ground the next second, twisted his body crazily, his nails dug deeply into his palms, and he let out a series of shrill screams from his mouth. Wail...

At first, the wizard held on quite forcefully, and even gritted his teeth and tried to lower his voice as much as possible. However, after Ivan increased the intensity of his spell casting, his will immediately collapsed and he turned to a lowly and humble expression. Begging Ivan for forgiveness...

However, no matter how much the other party begged, Ivan's expression did not change at all. He cast the spell without wavering, and just watched silently as the wizard struggled painfully on the ground.

It wasn't until the other party lost all strength and collapsed there like a dead dog that Ivan slowly put away his wand.

The whole square was eerily quiet.

In the crowd, Vincent looked at the middle-aged wizard who was tortured into coma not far away, and then looked at the figure on the high platform, feeling a chill in his heart.

The rest of the wizards looked at Ivan with fear and panic in their eyes.

Ivan's polite attitude and slightly childish face made them have some illusions, thinking that the person standing in front of them was a weak and bully lamb.

But Ivan's sudden Cruciatus Curse completely tore through this disguise.

The law enforcers surrounding them reminded everyone all the time that this was not a lamb, but a man-eating tiger!

"Anyone else planning to ask questions?"

Ivan's voice sounded again.

No one dared to respond. Everyone lowered their heads in fear. The wizard's painful wails seemed to still echo in their ears, blocking their words.

Ivan paid attention to the changes in everyone's expressions and was not surprised. He had long understood that some people in Knockturn Alley could not be reasoned with.

Only oppression and pain can make villains remember...

However, Ivan has always been tolerant of those honest wizards, and he also wanted to lighten the tense atmosphere, lest these people mistakenly think that he was a cruel wizard, so he spoke gently.

"You don't need to be afraid of me. Sharp knives are always reserved for those who need to be punished. Those wise men who can understand the situation clearly and those who are willing to follow order will receive the most generous treatment!"

"Please make a choice now. All the wizards in Knockturn Alley are here. You have the right to decide for yourself the future of this forgotten place. Do you want to continue to follow the chaos of the past, or are you willing to build a new one with me?" order?"

"I'll give you one minute to think about it. Those who agree, please raise your arms. Those who disagree..." Ivan looked around at everyone present and pointed at the empty space under the high platform with his wand. "Please stand up!"

As time passed by bit by bit, the wizards gathered in the square hesitated. Although Ivan's words spoke to their hearts, these few words were not enough to make them trust him.

The most untrustworthy thing in Knockturn Alley is words, not to mention that they were captured by force this time...

Therefore, compared to the "beautiful new home" described by Ivan, everyone is more afraid of the law enforcers surrounding them from all directions, holding magic wands in their hands.

As for Ivan's empty talk about democratic voting, no one is stupid enough to believe it. The wizard who bumped into Ivan is still lying there unconscious, and no one wants to follow in his footsteps.

Half a minute passed in an instant, during which no one raised their hands, and no one dared to stand up, as if they were conducting some kind of silent protest...

Ivan's expression did not change, he still looked calm and composed, but he was secretly beating a drum in his heart, wondering if he was too impatient...

If I had known earlier, I should have found a few trustees to help me speak in the crowd...
