Germany's Wizarding World's Greatest Threat

Vincent appeared to be giving the elderly members of the Wizards' Purity Party two options, but in reality, he only gave them one.

How can a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people, out of touch with the times and without wands, cross the jungle, climb the deep mountains, and reach Nurmengard?

They were criminals who escaped from Erkstag. If the German Ministry of Magic were even slightly more reliable than the British Ministry of Magic, it would have already notified the Austrian Ministry of Magic.

So let alone going to see Grindelwald, their successful crossing of the jungle was a miracle of Merlin.

Old Kramer's feelings were the most complicated at this moment.

Vincent risked his life to rescue them from Erkstag, which was an immense favor, but asking him to abandon his former ideals and achieve true coexistence between wizards and Muggle was indeed a bit difficult.

"Sigh—" he sighed and walked toward Vincent.

"Bernd, you—"

"He's right, Isolde." Old Kramer stopped in front of Vincent. "We are a group of people abandoned by the times. The ideology of the Wizards' Purity Party is outdated."

Vincent extended his hand to him. "Welcome to the Succession Society, Mr. Kramer."

Old Kramer looked incredibly forlorn, for their era had come to an end.

But there was still light in his eyes, and he gripped Vincent's hand tightly.

After him, Isolde arrived.

Then came von Eisenwald, Straub, Gerlach, Fenris ... They joined the Succession Society representing their respective family powers.

The remaining Wizards' Purity Party elders did not hesitate much and chose to join.

Half a century of imprisonment was enough to disconnect their communication and ideas from the outside world, but they were not the Death Eaters who were just a bunch of killing madmen; they quickly came to terms with reality.

The newly formed Succession Society had been established for less than a day, already had 41 members. Vincent appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually quite unsettled inside.

He's finally taken this step. Now he'll definitely be wanted by more magical governments, hated by more wizards, and become the most unpopular person in the Wizarding World of various countries.

He slightly raised his chin, looking at the 41 elderly people in front of him, "Gentlemen, human civilization will be reordered by our Succession Society."

At the same time, the German Ministry of Magic.

Minister Belge Thaddeus Berg, who had just finished meeting with the Muggle Prime Minister, rushed back to his office, where five wizards, including Muller, who had just received some treatment, were already waiting.

"No need." Minister Belge gestured for them not to get up. "Tell me the details of what happened."

The report is detailed enough, but it would certainly be more intuitive to hear it from the person involved.

Muller recounted the whole story in a deep voice, and when Vincent was mentioned, they both gritted their teeth, filled with resentment and indignation.

Belg can imagine how powerless they were at that time.

"That man... Vincent Wayne, he is without a doubt the most dangerous dark wizard of this century."

By allowing the Dementors to leave Azkaban, Britain, which led to a mass escape of the Death Eaters, and then disguising himself as Helmut Schmidt and leading 41 old Wizards' Purity Party in a violent departure from Erkstag, Vincent's level of danger has become almost indistinguishable from that of the two Dark Lords.

Belg's lips drooped slightly, his eyes were firm and deep, and his whole being exuded a solemn aura. "Wayne's goal, which is to risk his life, is probably not as simple as creating panic..."

His eyebrows were furrowed into a knot.

Last year, Vincent even made a personal trip over the issue of the Magical Base Station. The British Ministry of Magic has confirmed the existence of the backdoor, and in any case, Wayne Enterprises' products need to be banned immediately.

Belg waved for Muller and the others to leave the office, then looked at the Magical Communicator on his wrist.

Not only in Germany, but the Wizarding World around the world have become accustomed to the convenience it brings.

"So that's how it is..." Belg clenched his fist.

Wayne Enterprises forwent most of its profits to retain only the core technology, seemingly anticipating the day it would be banned.

Until a substitute for Magical Base Station and Magical Projection emerges, it's unlikely that many magical governments will be willing to give up such a large market share to completely ban Wayne Enterprises' products.

The British Ministry of Magic has reportedly only issued an arrest warrant for Vincent, while the Prongs and Nobili brands, which have partnerships with Wayne Enterprises, are operating normally, suggesting they lack the resolve to pursue this matter.

Wayne Enterprises, or rather Vincent, has thrown an irresistible poison apple into the global Wizarding World; once swallowed, it seeps deep into the marrow and creates a tremendous dependence.

But Germany is different. Rescuing the group of Wizards' Purity Party imprisoned in Erkstag would be tantamount to crossing the line for all Germany wizards. Even if the German Ministry of Magic doesn't ban it, the public would likely boycott Wayne Enterprises' products.

Belg reached out and took off the Magical Communicator, got up and left the office, and went to the conference room on the other side of the corridor.

The situation was urgent, and the German Ministry of Magic officials who arrived at the scene were somewhat unkempt.

Once everyone had arrived, Belg went straight to the point. "Gentlemen, from this day forward, Vincent Wayne is the number one threat to the Germany Wizarding World after Gellert Grindelwald Grindelwald."

The higher-ups immediately started discussing among themselves, and some of the quicker ones had already removed the Magical Communicator they were wearing on their wrists.

Since it is the number one threat, Wayne Enterprises' products will be completely banned.

"Minister Belge— " a dignified and elegant witch stood up, "Wayne Enterprises' products are hard to find substitutes for in a short time, and a hasty ban could cause social unrest."

"I've thought it over carefully." Belg's eyes were sharp, revealing an undeniable seriousness. "Adelaide, this is a growing pain we have to go through."

Adelaide pursed her lips. "Mr. Minister, Wayne Enterprises' products have permeated every aspect of wizarding life. Many people, especially young people, have developed the habit of watching dramas and videos. I'm worried they might feel resentful."

Belg, head of the intelligence analysis department, had a grim face, and her concerns were based on reality.

Just as young Britain wizards lacked a deep understanding of the horrors of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, young Germany wizards, living in a repressive social environment, rarely had an outlet for their emotions. Having already developed a dependence on this, they were bound to be dissatisfied with the German Ministry of Magic's actions.

But keeping a portion of it would play right into their hands. Vincent's true purpose is still unclear. If he, like Grindelwald, attempts to overthrow the existing system of the Wizarding World, it will be too late by then.

Belg tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "I don't know what other magical governments would think, but in Germany, I will not stand idly by and watch a second Gellert Grindelwald Grindelwald be born."

Adelaide was slightly taken aback.

While it may sound alarmist, Belg is not making baseless accusations.

Many of the elderly Wizards' Purity Party Vincent rescued came from ancient Pure-blood Wizard families. Even though their descendants had been under close surveillance by the German Ministry of Magic, their combined power was enough to shake the Germany Wizarding World.
