Chapter 949 A Sheep Entering a Tiger’s Mouth?

Pierce's words surprised the wizards present, and they all looked at Ivan. It was hard to believe that such a young wizard could compete with the legendary Dark Lord Grindelwald.

Although the European Times has done a lot of publicity for Ivan in recent years, for many wizards from Asia and Africa, the name Ivan Hals has never been heard of.

However, those who can come to the Capitol are all the elites of the wizarding community. Since the real bosses have not questioned this, naturally there will be no short-sighted people who will jump out to cause trouble. Some smart wizards will He secretly remembered Ivan's appearance in his heart and labeled him as something not to be easily provoked...

Due to another attack, the morning meeting was canceled. Bruno and other French wizards were also taken away by Aurors for investigation according to previous remarks.

As one of the suspects, although Ivan handed over the key representing Britain, he was not completely cleared of suspicion. He was still the subject of key observation. It could be said that his every move was watched by several Aurors.

"I don't understand. Why did you hand over the key just now? This is a very important certificate..." After the crowd dispersed, Pierce asked in confusion.

"To make the fish bite the hook, of course you need to give up the bait..." Ivan said slowly.

"So it seems you already have a plan?" Pierce asked eagerly.

In just one day since they entered the Magical Congress of North America, two attacks occurred in succession, and the victims were all ministerial-level figures. How could this not make him worried?

What's more, the Chairman of Congress is still suspicious of them. If they can't find a way to find Grindelwald, something terrible may happen...

Ivan did not answer Pierce's question directly, but asked. "Minister Pierce, how do you think the protection of MACNA is? Are there any omissions?"

Pierce pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "The Aurors in North America have done everything they can. Even if we were to come in, we wouldn't be able to make better arrangements... Unless Grindelwald masters some kind of powerful magic beyond our knowledge, it's hard for me to imagine that the other party will How on earth could an attack on two ministers be launched under such strict control?"

"Of course it's impossible under normal circumstances, but what if there's a problem within MACNA?" Ivan sneered.

Pierce was stunned for a moment, and his brows suddenly furrowed. "You are saying that it is possible that Grindelwald controlled or disguised himself as a high-ranking official of the Magic Congress?"

"But... how could it be? Grindelwald played them off like this during the last Wizarding War. No matter how stupid the North American side is, they will deliberately guard against this." Pierce said in confusion.

Conner made it very clear yesterday that they have set up detection magic at the entrance to the Capitol to ensure that every wizard who enters is fine, and those Aurors, goblins, and house elves who have been staying at the Magic Congress building for a long time have also All were checked.

"No matter how thorough their investigation is, there is always one exception, isn't there?" Ivan said as if pointing to something.

"Could it be that...you are suspicious of Wilkinson, the chairman of the Magical Congress of North America?" Pierce immediately understood what Ivan meant, and couldn't help but take a breath, and goosebumps all over his body. .

"I remember you told me that there is usually an independent fireplace in the minister's office, which is not affected by the blockade, and entry and exit do not need to go through that entrance. Once something happens, no one dares to find out about this Congressman In a sense, the identity of the chairman is very perfect..." Ivan explained slowly.

"This... this is impossible, isn't it? Grindelwald should have no chance to replace the Chairman..." Pierce shuddered. If it was like what Ivan said, wouldn't they have always been the enemy? In his lair?

"Don't forget, a few days ago, the French minister and Wilkinson had a secret meeting. At that time, they probably wouldn't have too many people..." As Ivan said, he couldn't help but think of the man named Ai Legilimency of Lys.

At first, he had felt a slight threat from this person, but now he thought that the other person was probably Grindelwald in disguise. It was probably because he had just taken away the Resurrection Stone and couldn't suppress the boiling murderous intention in his heart that he was so attracted by him. Clearly perceived.

As a close confidant of the French minister, it is understandable that Ellis was brought in during secret talks, and no one would doubt it.

It is not impossible for Congress Chairman Wilkinson to be controlled or replaced by Grindelwald by accident.

"One of the evidences is that the French minister committed suicide in his room. Of all the magic I know, only the Imperius Curse can do this." Ivan said eloquently.

"Presumably he was controlled by Grindelwald before the meeting was officially held. The person who threatened Igor was most likely the same minister..."

"So there was no Wilkinson's name in Igor's visitor list yesterday afternoon. In a sense, he is Grindelwald's white glove. Now that the French minister is dead, all the clues are broken..."

"Then we are doomed?" Pierce said in shock. If the President of Congress is Grindelwald, then the Capitol will become a terrifying place, and they will not even be able to escape.

"It's not that bad. It's impossible for Grindelwald to control everyone with the Imperius Curse. In addition, North America has entered a state of alert very early. What he can do in a few days is very limited." Ivan said with relief. Well, if Grindelwald had the ability to control and replace most of the Aurors, then they would be in trouble during the meeting.

"If I were Grindelwald, I would not abuse the Imperius Curse. Every time I control another person, there will be more loopholes. As the Chairman of Congress, he has countless ways to provoke conflicts, and it is reasonable and will not be suspected. !" Ivan added.

Pierce nodded, so it seemed that the situation was not at its worst.

"Wait... Since you doubted Wilkinson, why did you give him the key?" When Pierce thought of this, he felt bad and hurriedly asked.

Grindelwald's goal was very clear, which was to steal the keys scattered in the hands of various ministers, but Ivan took the initiative to give away the keys even though he knew the other party's identity. Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
