Carter works for American Magical Congress. Although he is not very satisfied with his job and thinks that providing temporary Wand Permit for others cannot fully utilize his talents, he is still proud that he can have a stable job in Magic France. Many classmates who graduated from the same school failed to work in Magic France.

Like most wizards in United States, Carter watches New York Ghost Newspaper for a while every day before breakfast.

The morning news of Muggle was playing on the TV in front of the dining table, although he had no idea what Muggle on the TV was talking about.

When he turned to the third page, the expression on Carter's face suddenly froze.

Who is Albert·Anderson?

Carter has almost forgotten about it. If New York Ghost Newspaper never mentions this person again, he will have completely forgotten about him.

These days, New York Ghost Newspaper's reporters have never been able to interview Albert·Anderson, so they changed their mind. Since they couldn't interview the other party, they interviewed the wizards who had been in contact with him.

Hence, today's third edition of New York Ghost Newspaper's interviews are conducted, and they are all wizards who are famous in certain fields.

"...Yes, yes.

We met not long ago, and Mr. Anderson is completely different from the last report on New York Ghost Newspaper. Mr. Anderson is a very polite boy.

Well, what to do? We are discussing an improvement of Potions. It is hard to imagine that Mr. Anderson has very high attainments on Potions. He even gave me a lot of advice.

Honestly, it was really cool and I was honored to have had the opportunity to meet him.

There is no doubt that he will be a great wizard in the future..."

The famous Potions expert Pigot Morg Lira said this in an interview.

"... The young champion did come to visit me, together with my old friend Nicholas. They came to United States to exchange alchemy.

However, he seems to be not used to the magical society of United States, which is normal, right? Many foreign wizards cannot get used to the magical society of United States.

Rude? Oh, no, I think Mr. Carter was completely New York Ghost Newspaper talking nonsense last time. Of course, I can also understand that jealousy of genius led him to do something irrational..."

The famous alchemist Rabindranath Tagore Jones thinks that United States New York Ghost Newspaper is a bit petty. Just because Albert defeated the United States player in the competition, he should not continue to discredit the opponent and mislead other United States wizards.

Of course, New York Ghost Newspaper deleted the second half of the interview.

"... Although, I think Mr. Anderson is much better in theory than in practice, but at Mr. Anderson's age, there is nothing we can do about it.

Well, what to do? Of course, it is to communicate about Herbology cultivation and medicinal value. He is a very powerful child. I think he will definitely become a powerful Herbology expert in the future.

Before Mr. Anderson left, he wanted to buy some American Mint seeds from me, and I gave him a big box of my homemade mint tea.

I have to say that he is a very tasteful and moral person.

Why do you think he wants American Mint?

Mr. Anderson believes that American Mint is a very valuable magical plant. He likes it very much and is even planning to cultivate it himself and discover other medicinal values of this plant.

Well, the report you said about New York Ghost Newspaper, that guy named Carter is just talking nonsense..."

Herbology expert Charles Kokla criticized New York Ghost Newspaper unceremoniously in the interview.

Of course, the later interview was also deleted.

The expression on Carter's face completely froze. He threw the newspaper on the table, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He did not watch the last interview with Nicholas.

For some reason, the voice of Muggle's TV news became extremely irritating, as if everyone was laughing at him.

Carter Can't understand why so many famous wizards would speak for that annoying guy.

Instead, he turned into a jealous and mediocre person. He simply couldn't imagine what other wizards who read this newspaper would think of him.

Carter I have never hated a person so much, never before.

"Mr. Anderson, it seems those people have very good comments about you."

These days, in addition to refining Baruffio's Brain Elixir, Nicholas also took Albert to visit three of his close friends, and took a look at Murtlap grown by experts United States Herbology.

However, Albert was not interested in that stuff at all, and instead asked for some American Mint's seeds.

Looking at New York Ghost Newspaper, Nicholas vaguely understood the other party's intention. It seemed that the interview with Carter had disgusted him. This young wizard still held a grudge.

Therefore, Albert met with those experts in various fields and through other people's evaluations, it was easy to change his reputation.

After all, they are all experts who do practical things, and their influence on United States is still very good. Their evaluation completely characterized Carter, who originally said bad things about Albert, as a mediocre wizard who likes to be jealous of geniuses.

Nicholas suddenly felt a little sympathy for Mr. Carter. His life will definitely not be easy in the future! Well, the actual situation is a bit different from what Nicholas imagined. Unfortunately, Mr. Carter was just an outcast thrown by New York Ghost Newspaper to attract firepower.

After all, they used him to attract the audience's attention to Albert, but now it's Mr. Carter's turn.

In fact, Albert has no intention of plotting against Mr. Carter. He doesn't even remember who Carter is. What's more, the two sides will never meet again, so there is no need to waste any thought on the other party.

He just took advantage of the opportunity of coming to American magical world to develop some contacts for himself, which might be useful one day in the future.

Wildsmith Family members all know how to make friends, and Albert thinks it wouldn't hurt to learn a little.

"Then, we'll go back!" Sera took off his hat and said goodbye to the two of them, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Nicholas, Miss Catherine."

Albert smiled and waved goodbye to the two of them, "If you are free, you are welcome to visit Britain. I guarantee that the air there is freer than United States."

The two left the villa and came to the open space outside.

Sera took out an old wizard hat.

Naturally, they have no intention of going back through normal means. They won't come to United States anyway. Even if they use Portkey, American Magical Congress can't control them. What's more, they don't know at all.

The two reached out and grabbed the corner of the wizard's hat, and the hat began to shake. The next moment, Albert felt as if there was a force pulling him, and his feet flew off the ground.

"They left!"

Nicholas looked at the empty space and said to Catherine.

"Yeah."

Catherine looked at Baruffio's Brain Elixir on the table and asked, "All failed?"

"It's not a failure. It's just that if you want to be perfect with something like Potions, you need to spend a lot of time and energy practicing, and Baruffio's Brain Elixir, like Felix Felicis, cannot make mistakes. "Nicholas admires Albert's talent. He didn't expect that the other party is even proficient in Potions. The improved version of Baruffio's Brain Elixir does have fewer side effects than the original one.

"It seems that there is a big gap between me and him!" Catherine is actually very good at Potions, but she is powerless on some difficult medicines.

"To be called Wizarding World the most genius wizard in hundreds of years by Sera, his talent is naturally very outstanding."

Nicholas can see that Catherine is somewhat interested in Albert.

After all, it's normal for geniuses to be attracted to each other.

However, there are some things that cannot be forced. Catherine obviously doesn't like her, but is more curious and stubborn in not wanting to give up.

"From today on, I will start teaching you Occlumency and Legilimency!" Nicholas looked at the place where the two disappeared and said to his granddaughter, "You still have a lot to learn."

"Well, I understand." Catherine nodded, she had already been prepared.
