Chapter 951 Grindelwald Was Countered
Have it? Pierce was confused. If they had sufficient evidence, why didn't they just expose Grindelwald in public?
Ivan remained mysterious and did not explain much. After telling Pierce and others to follow the plan, he blessed himself with a magic spell and disappeared into the corridor.
…
In the afternoon, a rapid knock on the door suddenly rang in the office of the Congress President.
"Come in..." Wilkinson put the silver raven in his hand into his robe and said solemnly.
The next moment, the closed door was opened.
Conor pushed open the door and entered with an Auror. When he saw that Wilkinson was the only one in the office, he couldn't help but frowned and said complainingly. "Your Excellency, why are you staying here alone? Where are the Aurors who protect you? How could they be so negligent?"
"Don't worry, Conor, this office has complete protection, and there are many hidden sentries outside. No one can sneak in. I am very safe here." Wilkinson waved his hand and said comfortingly, Then he changed his voice and asked. "How's the investigation into those French wizards going? Any progress?"
"It's still the same. The Aurors from the Department of Mysteries tested their memories and found nothing." Conor replied.
Wilkinson nodded, stood up from the chair, and continued to ask slowly. "Since Bruno has no problem, what about the British Ivan Hals? I heard that he was not restless this morning and frequently contacted ministers after the attack. Do you understand his intentions?"
"I have sent someone to inquire about it. It seems that Mr. Hals is also investigating the real culprit of the attack. The Auror who listened to the surveillance said that Mr. Hals suspected that there was a problem within the Magical Congress of North America..." Conor He said hesitantly.
"Oh, he actually thinks that? But we conducted a thorough investigation last night, and the results are obvious. It seems that Ivan Hals is preparing to alienate us, so as to aggravate the distrust of the wizarding representatives towards the Magic Congress!" Erkinson said with a sneer.
"But... Mr. Chairman, I think what Mr. Hals said may have some truth. If Grindelwald disguised himself as a senior congressional official, then it would make sense for him to get past all the protection and kill the two ministers. So, could there be any omissions in the search last night?" Conor said after considering it.
Wilkinson stared at Conor in silence for a while, and then whispered playfully. "Personally, I am willing to believe every colleague in the Magic Congress, but since you think so, then I allow you to conduct some investigations in private, but you must remember to keep it confidential to avoid causing panic..."
"I understand, Mr. Chairman... I'll do it right now!" Conor responded, winking at the Auror beside him, then turning around and walking towards the door of the office.
The moment the two turned around, Wilkinson put his hand into his sleeve and slowly pulled out a wand.
Imperio~ (soul out of body)
Wilkinson quickly waved his wand and cast the spell silently, aiming directly at Conor who was about to open the door.
However, the latter was obviously well prepared. While Wilkinson was casting the spell, he leaned down and rolled hard to escape.
Wilkinson probably didn't expect Conor's reaction to be so quick. He couldn't help but pause. In less than a second, an indescribable sense of crisis surged into his heart.
The hairs all over Wilkinson's body stood up. He subconsciously tilted his head, and the invisible magic blade slashed past his side. The sharp wind pressure cut a gap in his cheek. The wooden table was neatly divided into two parts and collapsed to the ground.
Wilkinson took a few steps back, looked at the Auror following Conor, frowned slightly, and said with certainty.
"Ivan Hals?!"
In his impression, the only person who could use such powerful magic was the British genius wizard.
The truth was just as Wilkinson thought. After confirming his identity, Ivan no longer had any intention of pretending. His figure gradually changed into his original appearance. He looked down at Conor who was lying on the ground and joked. said.
"You heard me right, right? Director Conall, if you insist on someone coming in to test this Mr. Chairman, I'm afraid he will have died in the line of duty."
"Thank you, Mr. Hals, for saving my life." Conor climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, looked at Wilkinson in front of him, and said with palpitations.
Although Wilkinson had no intention of killing him just now, after being controlled by the Imperius Curse, the other party would definitely search his memory. At that time, it would also be a dead end.
After the two chatted for a few words, the door to the office was opened again. The moment he realized something was wrong, Wilkinson activated the warning device in the room.
Almost in the next second, hundreds of Aurors rushed in and surrounded the spacious chairman's office.
"Conor has rebelled. He colluded with Ivan Hals to attack me. I now order you to catch them!" Wilkinson took the lead in giving orders before Ivan and Ivan could speak.
But what he didn't expect was that the Aurors responsible for protecting him did not take action against Ivan and Conor as promised. Instead, they pulled out their wands and pointed them at him...
Wilkinson narrowed his eyes, and then saw the president of the Asia Society and heads of state and representatives from various countries walking in with these Aurors.
The moment Bruno saw Wilkinson, he clenched his fists and shouted through gritted teeth. "Grim...Devo!"
He had already learned from Ivan that the French minister was under control, which meant that he had been played around by Grindelwald in the past few months. This humiliation made him want to rush forward and tear the other party to pieces.
Wilkinson didn't even look at him. He looked directly at Ivan and asked with interest. "It seems like you have convinced them. Can you tell me how you did it?"
In just one morning, Ivan got rid of the suspect, and in turn instigated Conor and others to resist him, the chairman of Congress, which really made him feel a little incredible.
Even if Ivan Hals doubts himself, he probably can’t produce conclusive evidence...
Why do these people believe him?
Ivan shrugged and did not answer, while the Russian wizard on the side took a step forward and spoke sarcastically to Wilkinson. "No matter how smart you are, you would never have thought that Britain possesses a treasure that can communicate with the souls of the dead. It was Minister Igor who exposed your disguise personally..."
