Chapter 948 He Is the only One Who Can Compete with Grindelwald Now

"Wait...Did you make something wrong, Captain Bruno? You don't think this kid has the ability to kill Igor, do you?" The president of the Asian Magic Association looked at Bruno in confusion and said something strange asked.

What puzzled him even more was that Wilkinson, Pierce and others seemed to have acquiesced in this statement...

Under the attention of everyone, Ivan responded unhurriedly.

"Captain Bruno, please come up with evidence before you frame others! I think you may have forgotten that there was another attack at the Magical Congress of North America just last night. I think Director Conall should have arranged it last night. We need enough manpower to patrol at night..."

"That's right! I arranged for three groups of Aurors to patrol the corridors, and set up a lot of warning magic in secret places... Your residence is a key area for defense." Conor said very seriously. This was exactly what confused him.

In order to prevent another attack from happening again, he was fully prepared. Hundreds of Aurors from the Magical Congress of North America patrolled the entire station day and night, making it impossible for even a fly to fly in.

However, it is a pity that none of these preparations seemed to come in handy. The French minister still died silently in his room. The only clue was that the other party was suspected of being under the Imperius Curse...

That's right, they couldn't even be sure of this. After all, this was a minister of a country. Unlike the reckless Percy, he was always accompanied by his entourage.

It can also be known from the testimony of Bruno and others that the other party did not meet with any wizard alone during the meeting, which means that even if Grindelwald wanted to release the Imperius Curse on the French minister, he would not have the chance. This is What really makes them feel weird.

"Since there are these Aurors and protective magic, the possibility of outsiders sneaking into the lounge is almost zero. On the contrary, I suspect that you are the murderer of the French minister... The strongest fortress is often breached from the inside. Isn't it? We all know that Grindelwald's most active place is in France!" Ivan said word for word.

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Bruno and others questioningly. Ivan's words made sense, and only a trusted attendant like Bruno could easily release the Imperius Curse on the French minister.

"Nonsense, we would never do that!" A French Auror blushed and shouted angrily. Ivan's remarks were undoubtedly an insult to their duties.

Bruno said without hesitation. "Each of us can undergo Veritaserum interrogation and memory testing to prove our innocence! But at the same time, I also ask the Magical Congress of North America to conduct a memory search on Mr. Hals..."

Ivan frowned, somewhat surprised. Memory is the most precious and private thing for a person. He did not expect Bruno to be willing to go to such extent in order to clear his suspicions, and even planned to drag himself into the water.

Could it be that I guessed wrongly, that Grindelwald did not come in disguised as a French wizard, and that Bruno and others did not have any problems?

But if this is the case, when was that minister controlled? It can’t be before coming to attend the meeting...

Ivan vaguely thought of something, but before he could think about it, he heard Wilkinson on the side asking. "Is that okay, Hals? Do you agree with Mr. Bruno's proposal?"

"Of course not!" Ivan refused decisively. "Everyone's memory is extremely private. I believe you all know this."

"If Mr. Hals is concerned about this, then I can guarantee you that the Legilimency masters of the Magic Congress will use the Forgetting Spell to delete things they should not know after searching their memories..." Wilkinson He explained.

"Sorry, Mr. Chairman, I can't trust anyone!" Ivan interrupted Wilkinson bluntly.

The atmosphere in the corridor suddenly cooled down. The Aurors of the Magic Congress tightened their wands in their hands. Bruno and others were even more excited as if they had grasped something.

But before they could speak again, Ivan grabbed a silver raven from his sleeve and spoke. "To prove my sincerity, I can give you the key for safekeeping. Isn't this what Grindelwald really wants?"

Ivan's move shocked Pierce. You must know that this thing is not only a key, but also represents Britain's right to speak in the International Federation of Wizards. How could it be given up so easily?

However, when he glanced at Ivan, he saw the latter shaking his head imperceptibly.

Although he didn't understand what Ivan was doing, Pierce had no choice but to be patient and keep silent.

"So you plan to leave the key to us for safekeeping?" Wilkinson was very surprised by this and asked in surprise.

"Besides searching my memory, this is the only way to remove some suspicion for me, isn't it?" Ivan shrugged and said regretfully.

Wilkinson took a deep look at Ivan, and finally reached out to take the silver raven.

"In view of the current danger, this key will be temporarily stored in the Magic Congress. We will naturally return the original key after the meeting is over!"

As he spoke, Wilkinson summoned several Aurors from the Department of Mysteries and asked them to confirm the authenticity of the key. After receiving a clear answer, he put it away and then looked at the Asian Magic Association. President, suggested.

"The situation is now very clear. Whoever has the key will become Grindelwald's next target. To avoid another attack, we might as well centrally manage the remaining keys and have them guarded by Aurors at all times."

"No, we can't put all the keys in the same place, otherwise everything will be over once Grindelwald gets it." The president of the Asia Society shook his head and rejected Wilkinson's proposal. He did not intend to put such an important hand over the things.

"By the way, please allow me to ask, why is the key to Britain in the hands of Mr. Hals?" the president of the Asia Society asked with a hint of confusion.

The wizards gathered in the lounge were also extremely curious about this. Pierce had already prepared it and explained it with ease.

"Hals's strength is superior to mine, and he is the only one who can compete with Grindelwald now. Naturally, I gave the key to him for safekeeping before, just to be more secure..."
