Chapter 808 They Are All Righteous Men Who Came to Help Enthusiastically!
The Death Eaters who lost their fighting spirit were quickly wiped out one after another.
In order to prevent the next large-scale prison escape from happening, the law enforcement officers were ruthless. Except for a dozen Death Eaters who had lost their fighting ability, all the remaining prisoners were killed on the spot.
After briefly cleaning the battlefield, Arthur Weasley and others gratefully stepped forward and hugged Pierce.
"Thank you so much, Pierce, you saved us!"
"Yes! If you had come a little later, I'm afraid you would have had to collect the bodies for us..." Rufus Scrimgeour said with lingering fear.
The rest of the Ministry of Magic officials also came forward to express their gratitude, and some thoughtful wizards expressed their goodwill enthusiastically.
After all, the current Minister of Magic Fudge died under the death curse of a mysterious man, and the Ministry of Magic will officially start the election of the next Minister early tomorrow morning at the latest.
Pierce was originally a popular candidate to run for Minister, and now he has made great achievements in this war. He led people to defeat the Dark Lord and saved more than 30 senior officials of the Ministry of Magic. Anyone with a discerning eye can see who the next one is. The Minister of Magic has no more suspense.
Amidst the praise, Rufus Scrimgeour was somewhat disappointed and asked about the whole incident. He was very curious about how Pierce learned about the mysterious man's plan in advance, and why Lucius and others did so. Sudden rebellion.
Under the probing eyes of Rufus Scrimgeour and others, Pierce acted very calmly and repeated the words he had already thought of.
"Well, a week ago, McNeil suddenly found me and explained to me the mysterious man's plan to attack the Ministry of Magic, and provided some memories as evidence... At that time, I realized the seriousness of the matter and summoned some Trusted Aurors began investigating."
The wizards on the scene turned to look at McNeil. Many of them had participated in the trial more than ten years ago. Of course, they knew McNeil's identity as a former Death Eater. Now it seemed that he was probably Dissatisfied with the tyranny of the mysterious man, he chose to resist and revealed the news of the attack on the Ministry of Magic to Pierce.
Kingsley Shacklebolt still felt a little strange and asked reluctantly. "Since you have evidence in your hands, why didn't you inform us in advance? This can avoid many unnecessary casualties."
"Please forgive my caution, Kingsley... I couldn't be sure at that time whether you were the undercover agents of the mysterious man." Pierce said solemnly, then turned to look at Lucius and continued.
"After all, Mr. Malfoy told me that Minister Fudge may have some kind of shady deal with the mysterious person, so it's best not to believe it!"
"Huh?" Seeing Pierce suddenly blaming him, Lucius couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly reacted and nodded.
"Ah, yes, that's right. I accidentally heard this news from the Dark Lord, but the Dark Lord doesn't trust me very much, so I don't know what kind of agreement he and Minister Fudge reached."
Hearing this, Arthur and others looked down at Fudge, who was lying on the ground, and somewhat understood Pierce's caution. Even the Minister of Magic had problems, let alone others.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Pierce knew that they probably believed his words and continued to explain.
"In view of this, I can only start from the outside. It happened that Minister Fudge asked me to investigate the affairs of Knockturn Alley in recent months. I happened to meet Mr. Doggett and Ms. Asia there, and learned from them about the Knockturn Alley in recent years. Changes in the back alley..."
Pierce kept talking good things about the two of them, and tried to prove that the residents living in Knockturn Alley had expelled those vicious dark wizards and achieved true democratic autonomy. These righteous people who enthusiastically came to help were the most important. Good proof!
Listening to Pierce's words, the expressions of Kingsley Shacklebolt and others became more and more weird. Who in the entire wizarding world didn't know that Knockturn Alley was a gathering place for dark wizards. For hundreds of years, it was chaotic and disorderly, full of killing and murder. Conspiracy is simply no place for normal people.
Expect these dark wizards to suddenly wake up and change their ways?
The sudden death of a mysterious man is more reliable than this!
In contrast, Kingsley Shacklebolt is more willing to believe that Pierce reached an agreement with these people and promised a lot of benefits to recruit so many people to work for him in a short period of time.
However, Kingsley Shacklebolt did not point this out in public. After all, this is a special period and all forces that can be united need to be united.
He had witnessed the combat prowess of those dark wizards with his own eyes. They were no less powerful than Aurors, and they were even more ruthless. If they were forced to side with the mysterious man because of some prejudice, it would be over...
After spending more than ten minutes explaining the whole story, Pierce gathered all the personnel who were not seriously injured into the hall and began the post-war reorganization work.
The battle just now caused extremely serious damage and a large number of casualties. There were hundreds of people who needed to be sent to the medical room for first aid!
In addition, he needed to arrange a place to hold the Death Eaters and hold meetings to discuss how to repair the severely damaged building. At the end of the day, Pierce was so busy that he didn't catch a moment until about four o'clock in the afternoon and was able to spare half an hour to go there. Take a break in the office.
Although he was exhausted physically and mentally from busy work, Pierce particularly enjoyed the feeling of having power, not to mention that everyone now regarded him as the hero who drove away the mysterious man. Even Rufus, who had not dealt with him very much in the past, was very interested in him. Tears of gratitude.
Thinking of this, Pierce felt a little dizzy.
Click...
Just when Pierce was thinking about it, the door to the office was suddenly pushed open. Pierce's face showed a bit of displeasure, and he raised his head to see who had walked in without knocking.
However, after seeing the person clearly, Pierce suddenly trembled, and the arrogant look on his face immediately became extremely humble. He stood up hurriedly, got out of the way, and greeted him very respectfully.
"Your Excellency Hals..."
Ivan locked the door with his backhand and sat on the main seat without anyone noticing. He lightly knocked on the table with his right hand and asked casually. "How's it going, Piers? Does anyone suspect us?"
"No, your plan was perfect. Now everyone believes that a mysterious man attacked the Ministry of Magic... No one would have thought of the second possibility!" Pierce shook his head quickly and said excitedly.
Pierce was very glad that he wisely chose to surrender to the other party half a month ago. Otherwise, he would either die with his eyes open like Fudge, or be fooled around like the group of fools outside who don't know the truth...
