Chapter 258: A Classic Move of Sacrificing a Pawn to Save the King

After hearing Adam's words and recalling what he just said, the two vice-chairmen were speechless.

When you said you would cooperate with the investigation, you asked us to cooperate with your investigation, right?

"Okay, we will definitely find out the situation as soon as possible."

Ahem, this cannot be called cowardice, it can only be said to be a strategic retreat.

After all, the Magic Congress in New York only has so many people, so it is impossible to defeat them. As for people from other states, not to mention whether they have the right to transfer, whether they are willing to come or not is still a question.

After seeing Adam off, the two vice-chairmen looked at each other.

"What now?"

"I've never encountered anything like this before."

There are only a handful of people in the entire Magical Congress who can convict an alien wizard out of thin air and directly send Aurors to arrest him.

Why would such a person get involved in the duel competition?

"Otherwise...inform the chairman and arrest him?"

Only the Chairman has the power to mobilize the full strength of the Magic Congress, and the real elites of the Magic Congress are now with the Chairman.

Although the Aurors looked useless in front of Adam this time, the two vice presidents were not disappointed with the power of the Magic Congress.

Under the words and deeds of their seniors, they have also seen the world and know that some wizards are indeed very powerful and cannot be dealt with by dozens of ordinary Aurors.

But that's all. If we could gather the power of the entire Magic Congress, wouldn't a mere thug be easily captured?

Do you really think that everyone is Grindelwald and can kill seven in and out of the Magic Congress casually?

Don’t they, America, have no respect for face?

Just thinking about the chairman who had been away for several years and had never come back even a few times after wrangling abroad, the two vice-chairmen felt a headache:

"Forget it, let's check first."

"Perhaps we are overthinking it?"

However, the fact is that there is no if. That night, the two of them sat at the same table with the fourth vice chairman of the New York headquarters.

Although the vice-chairman did not come forward directly, he had already taken the position of vice-chairman. No one knew who was who, and whose power it was. There was no need to wait until the next day.

Originally, they were surprised that the other party, as one of the four vice-chairmen of the headquarters, did not show up from the beginning to the end. It turned out that he had a guilty conscience!

After sitting down, the three of them looked at each other without saying a word.

In the end, one of the vice-chairmen spoke first:

"George, I hope you can give us an explanation as to why you would do such a thing? As far as I know, your son did not participate in this duel competition, right?"

This sentence may seem like nothing wrong, but in fact it stabs George directly in the heart, because his son is a squib.

With a sharp twitch in the corner of his eye, George had the intention to say a few thoughtful words starting with F to greet the other person's family, but he also knew that the current situation did not allow him to mess around again.

With his current status and power, what he has to do now is to cooperate with the Magic Congress to get this matter out of the way. If it really makes a big fuss, not only will the Magic Congress be embarrassed, but his end will also not be pretty.

Therefore, he could only snort coldly, and then told the cause and effect of the matter.

To put it simply, Uther's appearance is a bit too deceptive.

As a young adult who is old enough to even sign up for the youth competition, it is natural that his odds of winning are set very high in the black market gambling.

As a result, several markets received bets totaling more than 100,000 gold galleons on the first day, and User won. In the past few days, bets totaling more than 200,000 gold galleons were added up one after another. Se wins every game against Uther.

Why does George know so well?

Because these odds were opened by him!

Originally, he didn't pay too much attention to it. There are always gamblers like this who want to take a big gamble. It's normal to win and lose in this kind of thing. However, the strength shown by Uther made him unable to sit still.

Although the subsequent odds are dynamically adjusted, the bets that have been placed will not be affected by the changes in odds. At the beginning, in order to show ridicule to this guy who was overestimating his abilities and create a topic, Uther won the championship. The odds are exaggeratedly one to ten thousand!

If Uther could really win all the way and finally win the championship, even if George was not good at math, he could tell with just a few fingers that this gambling money would expand into a terrifying figure.

Not only will all his years of business in black and white be in vain, but he may even have to sell off a lot of his family fortune.

It can also be seen from this that George is indeed not very good at mathematics.

The two vice-chairmen shook their heads and suggested:

"You'd better cut it off with the people who opened the black market as soon as possible. If you really have to pay, you won't be able to afford it."

"I know that I have already been doing it after receiving today's news, but my accumulation over the years..."

George was so angry that he gritted his teeth, withdrew the deal and ran away. Even if his reputation in the black market was completely ruined, doing business in a place like the black market was all about credibility. Who would trust him in the future?

Thinking of those small coins that had grown wings and flown away, George became angrier and angrier. He took a step back and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he lost:

"That group of people must be working together to cheat! I was just careless and didn't dodge!"

The two vice-chairmen said: Yes, yes, you are right.

Anyway, they are not the ones losing money. They are having fun watching it, so why don’t they let the population get high?

"So what to do now?"

The first vice president to break the silence tapped the table with his finger, attracting the attention of the other two:

"I have to remind you two that, excluding asking for help from the chairman and asking for help from other countries, we do not have the strength to defeat the opponent head-on."

Whether it is asking for help from the chairman and letting the chairman rush back to the United States with elite Aurors, which will affect the voice of the Magic Congress on the ruins of the Sky Garden.

Or asking for help from other countries and throwing the face of the Magic Congress to other countries for them to step on, it will completely ruin the future, and the future of the entire family.

The vice president who put forward these two points certainly could not make such a decision. After all, what does this have to do with him?

"That thug broke into the headquarters of the Magic Congress, he is simply the second Grindelwald!"

George spoke indignantly, while the other two vice presidents, one was observing whether there were scratches on his freshly polished leather shoes, and the other was looking at his freshly trimmed nails.

What a joke, you want to casually classify someone as an international criminal of the level of Grindelwald, and come to get the support of other countries' magic ministries for free, are you qualified?

The Magic Congress of the United States is not the United States Congress!

"...I know."

George sighed:

"This is all Blaise's own decision. He accepted a bribe from a contestant. I will deal with him and give him a satisfactory answer."

A classic move of sacrificing a pawn to save the king.

The two vice presidents nodded with satisfaction:

"Arrange it as soon as possible."

Blaise is a powerful supervisor in George's department. Not only does he have enough weight to take the blame, but the vacant position can also bring enough benefits to the two vice presidents. It can be said that it is a happy result.

What? What about the other vice president?

So many Aurors were defeated, and the Magic Congress lost so much face. Doesn't it need someone to take the blame?

Calculating the time, he should be on the way to commit suicide out of fear of crime, right?
