If Vaughn had guessed correctly, the place where Michael Graves and the others had vanished was most likely the location of the institution that had collaborated with No-Majs.
For instance, the laboratory Vaughn had seen in Jack Graves's memories, where they researched artificial wizards, clearly violated the International Statute of Secrecy and Rappaport's Law.
The International Confederation of Wizards would never allow anyone to openly violate the International Statute of Secrecy.
One of Akinbade's main purposes in coming to America was to investigate the Scourers issue.
Once those minor families obtained evidence and submitted it to the International Confederation of Wizards, the Confederation, having found an excuse, would definitely intervene on a massive scale and seize the knife being willingly handed to it.
"Should I call them smart or stupid? The Twelve Pure-Blood Families resisted the International Confederation of Wizards for over a century. Even during the twenties through forties, when Grindelwald threw everything into its most perilous state, they never gave the Confederation a single excuse to interfere. And now these people are actually trying to lure a tiger into their house just to rise to power?"
Even though Vaughn understood that politicians sometimes made all sorts of seemingly muddleheaded decisions for the sake of profit, once he saw through the deeper intentions of those minor families, he was still speechless at their "shortsightedness."
The scheme itself was a classic one—using the tiger to devour the wolf.
But why had they not considered this? Once they brought the tiger in, how were they supposed to send it away?
The International Confederation of Wizards had existed for three hundred years and had been independent of European influence for nearly two hundred. Every country in the world now knew that they were practically mad with their desire to control major powers.
