Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 577 Backstabbing the Ministry of Magic

"Ha! You have today too!"

As soon as Mike finished speaking, Zhou Hong jumped out from behind Benjamin and gave Victor a middle finger.

God is sorry, he really has had enough of Victor these days.

At this time, I was a little bit excited.

It's a pity that Benjamin quickly stopped his behavior. Victor is also a member of the Freemasonry anyway.

But Victor didn't react too much to Zhou Hong's ridicule. He looked at Mike and said sincerely:
"Mike, trust me, this is not a good idea."

"But this is the safest way right now, isn't it?" Mike shook his head and said, "Hey, Victor, listen. You just stay in the base obediently, and when this operation is over, we will Come back and discuss this matter. You'll be fine, okay?"

"If that's what you insist on, fine."

Victor spread his hands, the expression on his face seemed a little helpless, but it didn't seem to change at all.

Seeing this, Mike was not polite to him. He waved his hand and signaled the staff to shut down Victor. Mike didn't lie to Victor. He really didn't mean to punish Victor, but now he has one more important thing to do. Therefore, I didn't intend to continue to listen to Victor and Zhou Hong continue to argue, so I could only put the matter on hold for the time being.

Shutting down Victor is a very cumbersome thing, because many data are not saved in real time, so the staff need to manually back up some important data before shutting down, or Victor will lose some memory after restarting.

Then there was a very funny scene - Victor directed the staff to help themselves to shut down.

To be honest, this is a very wronged thing. After all, looking at this matter from Victor's point of view, he was wronged.

But Victor was very calm, even a little indifferent.

He remained expressionless throughout the whole process, and in a gentle tone directed the staff to back up important data, and finally turned off the energy source of Victor's body—a generating device that can generate electricity and magic energy respectively.

During this process, Zhou Hong showed great enthusiasm.

He'd been working on it since his return from Hogwarts, and it finally came in handy.

It's a pity that in order to prevent him from avenging his personal revenge, his plan to participate in the shutdown process eventually went bankrupt.

In the end, with the shutdown of the generating device, the roaring machinery in Victor's alchemy laboratory finally stopped moving, and Victor standing in front of Mike and the others also closed his eyes and lost his voice.

Mike sighed, stepped forward and placed Victor's body on the fixed charging seat, then turned around, and said to the people behind him who were ready:

"Okay, now let's set off to the Ministry of Magic!"

"Yes, sir!"

Benjamin and the others answered in unison, and then followed Mike to the teleportation hall.

In the teleportation hall at this time, a wizard team of 20 people has already been fully armed and waiting here.

These people were all drawn by Arthur from various units. They were veterans who had experienced many key battles. They were currently the most elite combat wizards in the Los Santos Group, and they were also the backbone of this backstab operation.

Although they are not many in number, in this world of elite personal force, these twenty cooperative and extremely strong combat wizards are already a very powerful combat force.

If there was a fight, even Franklin and Benjamin might not be able to beat them head-on.

After arriving in the teleportation hall, Mike didn't have any ink marks, and directly directed everyone into the fireplace.

Thanks to the financial help of the Los Santos Group and the help of the contacts left by the Order of the Phoenix, Kingsley's status in the Ministry of Magic has been significantly improved. Now he is the second in command of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and he is expected to be in charge in the near future. Directly replacing the current Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

After all, the director is really a bit of a vegetarian now.

And with the help of such a high-ranking undercover agent, Mike's action plan this time has also become extremely simple.

Kingsley has already opened a dedicated floo network fireplace in the second basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, in the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office (which includes the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items Office where Papa Weasley works) aisle.

They just need to teleport in quietly, and then start killing and it's over.

The plan is simple, but it is very difficult to execute, because no one knows how many emergencies will be waiting for them when the time comes.

So everyone, including Mike, looked solemn and preoccupied.

And when they finally disappeared into the fireplace, a guy with an Asian face but dyed yellow hair suddenly appeared at the door of the teleportation hall.

He looked at the fireplace that was still emitting green smoke not far away, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, there was a faint blue light flickering in his eyes.

……

The second basement floor of the Ministry of Magic, Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office.

Although it is called an office, in fact the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic occupies a much larger area than an office in the conventional sense.

In fact, the main reason why it is called the Office is because the Department for Prohibiting the Misuse of Magic was not very large in the place where the Ministry of Magic was first established, and it is a veritable office.

Although it grew stronger later, it still inherited the title of the office.

Now its structure is more like an open modern company, which not only has a front desk, a lobby, but also many small offices with partitions.

Of course, these offices are the offices of leaders. As for ordinary clerks, they can only work in public office areas without shelter.

It was early morning at this time, and the large-scale climate simulation magic outside the window switched the day and night mode very punctually, causing the orange-red sun like salted egg yolk to slowly rise from the clouds in the sky, and the glow it brought dyed the sky red, and then It came in from the window again, and it was so beautiful.

But in the face of such a beautiful scenery, the clerks in the office area turned a blind eye to it, and worked listlessly with their heads down.

This cannot be blamed for their laziness. After all, due to the increase in emergencies in the country, these civil servants have also begun to work overtime.

So far, they have been working continuously for nearly thirty hours.

Amidst the clattering of pages and the rustling of pen nibs sliding on parchment, a grizzled young clerk picked up his wand and cast a refill spell on his already empty teacup.

Looking at the teacup refilled with strong tea, he sighed heavily, then stretched himself, ready to take a sip of tea and continue working.

But at this moment, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a wisp of green smoke slowly rising from the fireplace in the side hall.

His body that had just stretched out immediately froze, and he bent down again with a tense expression, and started working again without even bothering to drink tea.

Because he knew very well that the fireplace was a special fireplace in the office where the abuse of magic was prohibited, and those who could come out of it were either leaders or senior clerks.

If they see him fishing, he will definitely be criticized again.

There were quite a few people who had the same reaction as him. Everyone pretended to be working hard, but secretly watched the fireplace from the corner of their eyes, trying to figure out who would return to the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office at this time.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

The next moment, with the sound of bursts of fireworks blooming, Mike and others and twenty elite battle wizards from Los Santos suddenly appeared in the hall.

The clerks who were secretly observing the fireplace were puzzled when they saw this. They didn't know any of the people in front of them!
But they did not become vigilant because of this, but continued to work hard with their heads down.

After all, this is the largest department of the Ministry of Magic, and the next floor is the floor where the Minister of Magic and the logistics office are located. It is impossible for intruders to skip the departments downstairs and directly attack here.

And their performance surprised Mike and others.

Benjamin, Franklin and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone's faces were full of doubts.

The people here... seem to be a little too calm.

Shaking his head, the corners of Mike's mouth rose slightly.

For the scene here, Mike, who has never been a social animal, naturally cannot understand it, but this does not hinder his next actions.

Immediately, he lightly lifted the elder wand in his hand, and accompanied by the ominous atmosphere unique to the curse, a huge transparent circular edge suddenly formed from his body, and shot out suddenly.

"Feng!~"

The ring-shaped sharp edge scraped the air, and there was a clear sound, and then it cut through the entire office hall effortlessly like cutting tofu, cutting all the furniture together with those who were still sitting at the workstations and working hard. The clerks of the Ministry of Magic were all cut in half, and finally fell on the hard outer wall made of special anti-magic material in the office hall, and a deep ravine was carved on it.

This move was like a signal, and all the fighters around Mike also moved.

They turned into groups of black shadows and rushed towards the offices nearby!

This is also part of the original plan. Mike is responsible for solving the enemy's large forces and tough strongmen. As for them, they need to subdue those senior officials as quickly as possible to prevent them from tipping off and buy time for the entire operation.

And it wasn't until this time that the clerks in the office hall reacted.

They looked at the black shadows flying in the hall in astonishment, and were just about to ask what happened, but they found a sudden sharp pain in their necks, chest or waist.

They looked down suspiciously, and saw a line of blood spreading rapidly at the place where they just felt the pain, and finally expanded into a series of huge wounds that could completely cut off their bodies.

"what!"

"Merlin's beard!"

"Physician! Physician!"

……

Countless screams accompanied the gushing blood in the office hall. Except for the lucky one who was directly beheaded, the rest did not die immediately after being beheaded, but fell down in a pool of blood and wailed miserably.

Standing in this hell-like scene, Mike behaved very coldly.

He went straight to the magic elevator, and didn't try to avoid the blood and all kinds of rubbish spreading freely on the ground, but those things avoided him automatically as if consciously.

And when he arrived at the elevator room where the magic elevator was located, he didn't press the button. Instead, he flipped his palms, and he rose into the air, reaching the first basement floor, which was the floor where the minister's office and the logistics office were located.

Although it is the floor where the minister's office and the logistics office are located, it is completely different from the busy scene downstairs in the office where the abuse of magic is prohibited.

As soon as he walked out of the elevator room, the first thing Mike saw was a long corridor, with thick black marble doors on both sides of the corridor.

Through magic perception, Mike can clearly 'see'.

Behind the marble door here is a huge space opened up with the traceless stretching spell, and a huge amount of materials are piled up inside.

At this time, these materials are being transported by the house elves according to the needs of various departments through the inherent freight magic elevator in each space.

The whole process is fast and quiet, and requires no wizard intervention at all.

In fact, during the original Scrimgeour era and other previous ministers of the Ministry of Magic, the porters and custodians in these warehouses were actually all served by wizards from the logistics department.

This also led to the Logistics Department becoming the most lucrative department in the entire Ministry of Magic.

After all, as an important department in charge of the materials of each department, if other people want to take the materials from the logistics department smoothly, they must first establish a good relationship with the officials of the logistics department, which has considerable benefits.

No matter how bad it is, these watchdogs can also guard against themselves, can't they?
But that all changed after Chris Flint became Minister for Magic.

He directly ignored the unspoken rule that the chief of the logistics department should always be held by members of the family of the chief executive of each major department in turn, and directly announced that he was concurrently the chief of the logistics department, and dismissed all wizard employees, using more loyal House elves serve as staff in the back office.

There is no doubt that this move has made the flow of materials throughout the Ministry of Magic more efficient.

It also sparked a lot of high-ranking officials within the Ministry of Magic's department.

Fortunately, Chris' legendary strength is strong enough, and the officials who suppressed him did not dare to do anything wrong, otherwise they would have overthrown him long ago.

But all of the above are trivial matters. Chris' restructuring of the logistics department has also caused the most serious consequence, which is that the defensive strength of the logistics department has become particularly weak.

In the corridor, looking at the closed doors, a bright smile appeared on Mike's face.
