"So, you took care of all our targets?"
After listening to Albert "share" the results of this reconnaissance, Lee Jordan finally understood the situation. Trembling, he pointed at Albert, too angry to speak.
Did Albert have any idea how many members had been looking forward to that operation on Christmas Eve?
And now it was gone. Who knew how disappointed everyone else would be?
Fred beside him wore an equally miserable expression as he complained, "Actually, you should have left that village for us to handle. We were fully capable of dealing with those Inferi. Even if there were more of them, it would only have taken us a little longer."
"No, the situation there was worse than you imagined."
Albert drew his wand from the wand holster at his waist and gave it a light flick. A Crystal Ball for Divination appeared out of thin air. Under everyone's watchful gaze, he placed the tip of his wand against his temple, drew out a silvery strand from his head, and gently dropped it onto the Crystal Ball.
The silvery thread vanished at once. The Crystal Ball flared with dazzling white light, and the mist within it began to whirl rapidly. Part of Albert's memories appeared in the Crystal Ball floating in midair.
Everyone turned their attention to the scene playing inside the Crystal Ball. They were all curious how Albert had done it, and even more curious about what extraordinary thing he had discovered in that village.
Knowing Albert as they did, they understood that he would never have summoned them here unless it was something important.
"That mist can't be dispersed?"
Cedric, who had been staring at the Crystal Ball, immediately noticed the strangeness of the mist. He suddenly understood why Albert had not left the problem to them
