Chapter 813 Acting Secretary Pierce

"Master, is it possible that Nott, like Lucius, has taken refuge in Ivan Hals?" Snape couldn't help but ask as he looked at Nott who was wrapped up in a big snake and didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"No, when I found him, he was already under the control of the Imperius Curse." Voldemort responded in a daze.

In the past few months after he fled Knockturn Alley, he had sneaked into Knockturn Alley many times, intending to capture a few lone law enforcers for torture and to obtain information about Ivan Hals.

But what he didn't expect was that these people seemed to have been prepared for it. The wizards on duty usually formed a team of seven and never separated. Each person's wrist had a unique fire dragon mark printed on it, so there was no way he could start. Opportunity.

Fortunately, hard work paid off. After several months of squatting, Voldemort finally figured out the details of Knockturn Alley and the personnel situation. He also guessed that there was a safe house nearby, but he couldn't find the specific location.

Nott was his biggest gain in the past few months. He didn't have that special magic mark on his body, and there was a lot of key information in his memory.

It contains scenes of Ivan Hals leading the law enforcers to kill in the wizard market, and coercing and inducing the six pure-blood families such as Aibo and Parkinson to surrender.

The last time Ivan Hals gave a speech at the Wizard's Market, the other party was also present.

These two decisive memories were enough for Dumbledore to see clearly the threat posed by the other party. If Ivan Hals is allowed to grow like this, there will be an uncontrollable monster in the wizarding world!

This is undoubtedly what neither he nor Dumbledore wants to see!

Since they have a common goal, there may be the possibility of cooperation between them, such as exchanging some information through Snape. Even if it doesn't work, the current unfavorable situation can be changed and the fight between two tigers becomes a three-way war.

"I understand, Master, I will truthfully tell Dumbledore what Ivan Hals did according to your instructions..." Snape responded respectfully.

"Very good, I hope you can give me good news within three days." Voldemort nodded, with a slight smile on his face, and was very satisfied with Snape's respectful attitude.

Considering that the other party had helped him with a lot of things during this period and was so loyal, Voldemort asked again.

"You have done well recently. Do you want any reward? Severus?"

award? Snape's face became a little weird. The Dark Lord was in such a state of despair that he didn't think the other party could give him anything valuable.

But Snape also knew that he must not ask for nothing, otherwise it would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the Dark Lord.

Some thoughts flashed through his mind, and Snape quickly made a decision. With a hint of fanaticism on his face, he looked at Voldemort and spoke carefully.

"Master, I want to learn more advanced black magic and gain more power, just like... just like you."

Voldemort narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Snape carefully, and suddenly laughed. "You are very ambitious, Severus, but I can fulfill your wish. From today on, if you don't understand anything about dark magic research, you can come to Riddle Mansion to ask me for advice at any time."

Voldemort agreed readily. Although Snape's talent was good, it was just that. No matter how much advanced black magic he learned, it would not pose a substantial threat to him, so he was happy to regard this as an incentive. Nepe's means.

After arranging the mission of this loyal subordinate, Voldemort turned his attention to the remaining Death Eaters and ordered them with an indifferent expression not to cause trouble in the near future and to be careful to hide his figure.

Elifen and the others nodded with low eyebrows, but secretly had other plans in mind.

Voldemort clearly saw the thoughts in their minds and sneered, but did not pay attention to these people's thoughts.

If we didn't take into account that sometimes some people are needed to support the scene, every one of these people would be dragged down to feed Nagini...

The wandering snake seemed to sense Voldemort's thoughts. It raised its body high and glanced at the Death Eaters present with eager eyes, as if looking at plates of delicious meals.

…

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. After an overwhelming propaganda campaign, the news of the mysterious man's massive attack on the Ministry of Magic had become known to everyone.

Fudge, the former Minister of Magic, was unsurprisingly the first person to take the blame. A large amount of black material was dug up by the Daily Prophet. A day later, it was revealed that he had some kind of shady deal with a mysterious person...

The entire magical world was in an uproar, with constant abuse. Only Mrs. Acmore, who claimed to be a friend of the Minister of Magic, and a small number of Fudge's supporters came out to defend the former Minister of Magic, claiming that Fudge had been deceived by a mysterious person. Made so many wrong things.

But no matter what, Fudge neglected his duties, helped cover up the whereabouts of the mysterious man, turned a blind eye to the strange behavior of the Dementors, and caused a large number of Death Eaters to escape from prison.

In just one night's work, Fudge's reputation was already notorious, and he was known as the most incompetent Minister of Magic in history!

Thousands of abusive letters were sent to the minister's office every day, but it was a pity that Fudge's body had long been cold and he could not come out to face the public's doubts.

These letters have also placed a considerable burden on the Ministry of Magic, which is still under reconstruction. Several employees must be allocated every day to intercept the roaring letters destined for the Ministry of Magic...

In this atmosphere where everyone was tense and everyone was in danger, a savior hero stepped on Fudge's body and showed his face harshly.

Pierce, then the Executive Director, showed thunderous methods in the battle to defend the Ministry of Magic, leading a large number of wizards to kill and capture seventy-one Death Eaters, as well as dozens of Azkaban repeat offenders. Eliminating all invading enemies except the mysterious man greatly boosted the morale of the Ministry of Magic, which could be said to save the building from collapse.

Even in his inaugural speech as Acting Minister the next day, Pierce announced in public that the Second Wizarding War had officially begun, and that a large number of Aurors would be dispatched to hunt down and capture Voldemort at all costs.

Such a tough attitude immediately won the support of countless civilian wizards. No one wanted to go back to the era when the Dark Lord was raging and thugs were rampant more than ten years ago.

Every wizard who has experienced the dark period cherishes this hard-won peace and hopes that the mysterious man will be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible.

However, some people think that Pierce is too trusting. After all, everyone knows how powerful the Dark Lord is. No matter how many Aurors there are, they cannot be the opponent of the mysterious man. This will only increase casualties...
