The faces of the representatives of the Ministry of Magic were sour. Grindelwald didn’t consider giving them a chance at all.
In this highest-level meeting of the wizarding world, he was almost telling everyone clearly that if anyone dared to trouble him, they would get something coming. Regret in the hearts of several people has spread uncontrollably.
However, the thoughts of the jury were no longer within Sean’s consideration. He strode away from the meeting, and those people who were close to Grindelwald followed him step by step.
“Now go to the chairman’s office as usual. Later, the representatives for private would come to you. Remember what to do.” Rosier didn’t even open or close her mouth, but her voice could be heard in his ear.
Along the way, she used magic to send hints to Sean. Sean tugged on his tie to show that he already knew.
“Abernathy, everything is going on as usual. I will notify the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to come to see me. You will handle those people’s trials tomorrow. At that time, cooperate with the Director.” Sean imitates Grindelwald’s unique tone and orders plainly.
“Yes, Lord Grindelwald.” Abernathy immediately replied with a trace of uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
Grindelwald handed over this important task to him with such confidence. Grindelwald has always encouraged and praised his loyal followers, especially the young man in front of him, who is the grandson of Abernathy.
“Abernathy,” Sean chuckled, and he stopped and patted him on the shoulder. “I was happy when your grandfather recommended you to me.” Abernathy flushed with excitement.
“The group creating the new world has a brand new following, and with a wizard-like your grandfather, I believed from the very beginning that you would also give me a satisfactory result.” Sean smiled.
Abernathy suppressed the excitement in his heart. He nodded calmly and replied, “I will definitely not let you down, Lord Grindelwald.”
“I’m hoping. When you are in public, call me Mr. Chairman, my child.” Sean patted him on the shoulder like a kind and charming old man.
“Yes, Lord Grindelwald, I mean Mr. Chairman.” Abernathy almost knelt on one knee in his heart to show his loyalty.
“It looks like you still need to adapt like Vinda. Keep on the good work.” Sean said with a smile.
Immediately after the conversation, the people who followed him became fanatical. The excitement and pride on their faces could not be concealed. A trace of surprise appeared in the eyes of Rosier, who had been watching quietly.
The people around them are all direct descendants of the old followers who followed Grindelwald to conquer the world. After Grindelwald was successfully elected as the leader, they were sent to some more important positions.
Generally speaking, there is no need to doubt their loyalty and ability, but young people will always be eager to be encouraged by their idols.
Sean managed to energize them well. When he faced those people, he just said hello casually because he didn’t need to win them over or encourage them.
When facing these people, Sean can give appropriate encouragement like Grindelwald, which shortens the connection with those who have just joined the group and gives them more motivation in the future.
Rosier thought about it carefully, and she was surprised to find that if the real Lord Grindelwald was here, he would do almost exactly the same thing as Sean.
Rosier watched Sean quietly from the sidelines. He was doing the same thing as Lord Grindelwald. At this time, Rosier could only secretly sigh in her heart.
When he was about to walk to the office, a group of people suddenly appeared at the corner of the corridor, led by a man in a neat suit. Sean is happy because he knows this person well.
That night in Paris, he was taken to the interrogation room for personal interrogation. The interrogator was the person in front of him, Mark Ponte.
Later, he pretends to be possessed by Voldemort in Nurmengard and successfully “removes” him after fighting with Rosier. He also came up with the follow-up plan and invited Snape to give him a Veritaserum.
Mark Ponte didn’t know that Grindelwald in front of him was Sean, the third-grade wizard who had been interrogated many times by him. He kept a serious expression and walked over quickly.
“Mr. Grindelwald, the representatives of the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom, France, and other countries have invited you to a private meeting. The incident in the Department of Mysteries needs your answer.”
His few followers, who had just been encouraged by Sean, stood in front of them, all of them with gloomy expressions.
“Are you questioning the new International Confederation of Wizards leader?” Abernathy maintained his demeanor, but his words were cold.
“Don’t get too excited. Abernathy.” Sean said.
He looked at each other with a smile until Ponte couldn’t help arching his neck. He took a step closer and then slowly moved his body.
He moved his ear closer, “Excuse me?”
Ponte panicked, but he still remembered the instructions from above that Grindelwald wouldn’t do anything to him, and he had to be strong.
Thinking of this, he forced himself to straighten his back and replied in a deep voice, “I think I’ve made it very clear just now, Mr. Grindelwald.”
Ponte fell to his knees, his body twitching violently. Behind him, several wizards who had been waiting immediately raised their wands and aimed at Rosier. Rosier didn’t even look at those people, she retracted her wand, and her voice was as calm as water.
“When facing him, I think I need to teach some people what respect is.”
It aligns with the mentality of a Grindelwald follower, but using the Cruciatus Curse is too much.
Sean secretly praised in his heart and frowned at Rosier, “Vinda, how can you treat our guests like this?”
“That was reckless of me, Lord Grindelwald.” Rosier immediately lowered her head.
Sean finally waved his hand, “Excuse us, but be careful next time.”
Ponte fell to his knees and wailed silently, and the wizards behind him felt that it was extremely absurd. What’s even more annoying is that they dare not object to Grindelwald.
Sean bent down and looked at Ponte, slowly standing straight with his hands behind his back.
“What did this gentleman say just now? Can you repeat it?”
“Huh? Isn’t my question worth answering?” Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.
The atmosphere in the entire corridor seemed to drop immediately, and the biting air made it hard to breathe. A hoarse voice sounded when those few people were in a dilemma.
“Grindelwald, do you really have to embarrass someone lower than you?”
Sean smiled slightly; the blue flame in his hand was not extinguished, and he made a happy and mocking sound, “I’m just surprised that he was brave enough to do it.”
“I’m here to talk to you, Grindelwald. Don’t you dare?” The hoarse voice was a little angry.
But Sean didn’t even move when he stood still, and his smile was getting bigger.
“It seems that you don’t know how to be polite. Please allow me to tell you something,” Sean raised his chin, “I have served as the principal of Nurmengard for years, and I’m best at teaching and educating people.”
In the corner where the hoarse voice came from, two people in black robes looked at each other. They are talking in a low voice.
“Grindelwald is tougher than expected.”
“Of course, he has already conquered half the power in the wizarding world.”
“What do we do now?”
“Forget about it. We can’t hold Grindelwald, but we still have to talk about it, keeping in mind our original purpose.”
The exchange was only for a moment, and the hoarse voice said, “Mr. Grindelwald, we hope you can talk to us. After all, no one wants to see the wizarding world fall apart, right?”
Sean put away the blue flame in his palm and smiled, “Huh, interesting.”
After that, he stepped over Ponte and walked towards the source of the sound. A man in a black robe waited there and then led him towards a room.
Looking at his floating posture, Sean became more vigilant. The Returners showed up to negotiate with him. Although Grindelwald has always been aware of the Returners’ existence, these people have always operated in secret and have never been exposed to the public eye.
When he stepped into the door, Sean finally saw someone. The person did not hide his face, and the pearly white body appeared in front of his eyes. It was a middle-aged man with a typical Caucasian appearance. He was over two meters tall, with plump lips, a fit body, and symmetrical eyebrows.
The appearance characteristics look like a typical appearance of ancient Greek people. He was a powerful wizard in the prosperous period of ancient Greece and returned to this world.
For some reason, Sean always felt that he looked a little familiar. It wasn’t that he had seen him before, but that he had seen an image of his before.
“Grindelwald, you should know who I am, but I will introduce myself again.” The hoarse voice seems to be a common feature of the Returners, but his voice is still full of pride and confidence, “My name is Andros.”
Sean was slightly startled. He is the famous Andros in the history of the wizarding world. No wonder it looks familiar; he has seen it on the chocolate frog card; although it does not portray him perfectly, there is a similar look.
Andros the Invincible was born in Greece in the classical period and is the only known powerful wizard in history with a Patronus in the shape of a giant. At the same time, he is also famous for his powerful magic; many people can’t even withstand his spells.
Although he was shocked, Sean remained calm on the surface. He chuckled lightly, sat on the opposite sofa, and crossed his legs.
“Good to know you.” He clapped his hands.
Andros couldn’t see much of his expression and said in a deep voice, “Grindelwald, you are the most prideful wizard I have ever seen.”
Sean flicked his sleeves and said, “I would prefer to be called conceited.”
Andros narrowed his eyes slightly.
