Chapter 950 I Have a Very Important Witness!
"The reason is very simple. If you don't give it, then we will most likely have a fight with the Aurors in North America." Ivan explained.
He was very sure that the French minister must have said something to Bruno and others last night, which was why the French wizards suddenly attacked him today.
Looking into its origin, it is not difficult to see that this was Grindelwald's plan. The purpose was to use the topic to blame the death of the two ministers on him as much as possible, and even put him under house arrest and arrested in the name of investigation.
Once he is angered by successive provocations and chooses to resist, it will be more in line with Grindelwald's expectations.
After all, the current North American Capitol Building has been built into an iron barrel. There are more than 400 Aurors stationed here alone, and a large amount of protective magic is deployed inside. Even for wizards as powerful as them, the front Confrontation will never lead to any good results.
Because of this, he did something that made Grindelwald feel incredible - handing over the key to Britain.
If the Chairman of Congress is really Grindelwald in disguise as he imagined, then this move will definitely have a great impact on the other party.
Because no matter what the order, the key in his hand must be the most troublesome for Grindelwald, but he easily delivered this thing to the other party's hand.
Such an obvious contrast will definitely make Grindelwald suspicious, doubting the authenticity of the key, and wondering whether he has discovered his identity...
This mystery and unknown will become his talisman, and the act of handing over the key will clear some of his suspicions, and Grindelwald will have no excuse to attack himself.
"What if Grindelwald doesn't care and insists on using this reason to imprison us?" Pierce asked.
"He is a smart man and will not do anything he is not sure about. He will definitely give priority to finding out whether I have tampered with the key to determine whether his identity has been exposed." Ivan explained patiently and paused. Then, he continued.
"If things develop as you say, I can only take a gamble and launch an attack on the Chairman of Congress first to see if I can remove Grindelwald's transformation magic."
Unless absolutely necessary, Ivan did not intend to do such a risky thing.
Because Grindelwald is probably on guard.
It's okay to say that the attack was successful, but if it failed, he would have been guilty of attacking the Chairman of Congress, and even jumping into the Yellow River would not be able to clear it.
Listening to Ivan's explanation, Pierce couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. He didn't expect that in just a few minutes of negotiation, he would step on the edge of war twice.
If Grindelwald had acted more radically, he might be gone now...
"What should we do next?" Pierce tried hard to adjust his emotions so as not to be caught by the Auror who was monitoring them.
"I have a plan, but I need to confirm Conner's position first. Without his help, we can't move freely in the Magic Capitol, let alone contend with the chairman of the North American Congress." Ivan said slowly Then, the specific content was transmitted to Pierce and others through the magic mark.
The first step of the plan is naturally to find a way to get rid of the Aurors who are monitoring them. Among these people, there must be Grindelwald's spies. If they don't find a way to solve it, they can't do anything.
After explaining the plan as concisely as possible, a few people started taking action.
When passing the door of the lounge, the group suddenly split into two teams. Delis and others went straight back to the room, while Ivan, Pierce and some of the accompanying people walked in the other direction.
The few North American Aurors responsible for surveillance did not want to give up. They divided into two teams to continue to monitor, and at the same time, they reported the abnormality here.
However, Ivan and Pierce's subsequent behavior was very ordinary. They just moved from the lounge to the living room, met with several heads of small countries, and discussed cooperation matters. This made the Aurors who were originally nervous relax and temporarily put aside their plans to apply for support.
"Wait...are they missing one person?" After following Ivan and others through a corner, a female Auror suddenly frowned and asked.
He remembered that when the team was first divided, there were seven people on Ivan's side, but now there are only six left.
Since there were a lot of people in the living room just now, and the key surveillance targets Ivan and Pierce were still under their noses, he didn't discover this problem until now.
"There is indeed a wizard missing. We'd better inform Mr. Chairman immediately." Another Auror took a few glances and confirmed. He quickly took out a contact badge from the pocket of the wizard's robe and just entered the magic power. When, the whole person suddenly froze in place.
"What's wrong? Creek?" The female Auror stepped forward and patted her colleague on the shoulder strangely. Seeing that the other person remained motionless, she immediately realized something was wrong.
However, before she could scream in surprise, a weak voice rang in her ears.
"Imperio~ (soul out of body)"
The next second, the female Auror also froze on the spot, and Ivan's figure slowly appeared from behind them.
After noticing the movement here, Pierce hurriedly gathered around with his entourage, accompanied by another [Ivan].
This was naturally the effect of the polyjuice potion. Just as they passed the corner, Ivan asked one of the British wizards to take the polyjuice potion and transform into his own appearance with the help of the obstruction of vision.
He himself used the Illusion Body Spell to hide and launch attacks in the dark.
"Is it going well? Mr. Hals?" Pierce asked solemnly.
"Two open whistles, two secret whistles, a total of four wizards have been dealt with." Ivan nodded and used the Soul-Imperius Curse to control the four wizards. Even he couldn't help but feel a little difficult.
But in order to get rid of the surveillance of these people, he had to take one risk.
"Next, you try to delay as much time as possible, so that no one can see any clues... It's enough for me to go find Conor alone." Ivan ordered.
Pierce knew very well that he couldn't help, and he didn't dare to offer any advice, but he still asked hesitantly before Ivan left. "How confident are you that you can convince Director Conall? We don't even have evidence to accuse Wilkinson. I'm afraid we won't be able to convince the public based on these speculations..."
"Who said we have no evidence? I have a very important witness!" Ivan interrupted Pierce and said decisively.
