Taking Control of the Ministry of Magic's Top Officials

In the heart of the fire at the lowest level of the Ministry of Magic, Lester calmly placed the hair he had prepared beforehand into the Polyjuice Potion, then shook it symbolically twice.

A moment later, the Polyjuice Potion placed in the Sang Biao's hair turned purple and was ready to be taken.

Hafiz took the Polyjuice Potion from Lester and drank it down without hesitation.

A moment later, crackling sounds of bones breaking could be heard emanating from Hafiz's body, and then a man who looked exactly like Sang Biao appeared before Lester.

"Not bad!" Lester circled Hafiz, who had transformed into Sang Biao, then nodded in satisfaction and said, "When we get up there, just pretend you're mute and watch me do my job!"

"Yes, Lord Lai," Hafiz nodded hurriedly upon hearing Lester's instructions.

According to the plan, Lester will soon use his shapeshifting ability to transform into his appearance and then go up to compete with those pure-blood officials for the benefits.

Although Lester will definitely get the Lester's share, as a loyal follower, I'll at least get a piece of the pie, right?

After Hafiz was also ready, Lester activated his Boggart Transformation ability and transformed directly into Hafiz's appearance.

"How is it? Are there any loopholes?" After transforming into Hafiz, Lester asked Hafiz with some unease, and received an affirmative answer.

"No flaws, Lord Lai. To be honest, it looks exactly like me."

Staring at Lester, who had transformed into his own appearance, Hafiz's eyes were filled with amazement. There was no other reason than that Lester's transformation was simply too amazing.

Even he himself couldn't immediately tell the difference between the real and fake ' Hafiz ' before him.

"Alright, let's begin the performance then."

After confirming that everything was ready, Lester rubbed his face, which had just been deformed, then reached out and pulled Hafiz up, and flew straight up on the Fiendfyre.

At this moment, in the Entrance Hall on the first basement level, all the wizards were craning their necks, staring expectantly at the billowing smoke below, hoping to catch a glimpse of the figure they longed to see.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Just when the group of high-ranking officials were about to stare themselves in the dark, the figures of ' Hafiz ' and ' Sang Biao ' broke through the smoke and appeared directly in front of them.

Splat!

Lester casually tossed Hafiz, who had transformed into Sang Biao, onto the floor of the Entrance Hall, and then slowly descended on air.

"I've already subdued this guy. His strength is average; he only showed off his power by using the Fiendfyre."

Lester walked up to ' Sang Biao ' with a blank expression, calmly putting on airs.

A powerful dark wizard who could burn down most of the Ministry of Magic and even beat the Head of the Auror Office to death was described by Hafiz as merely having average strength. Just how strong is Hafiz anyway?!

Moreover, comparing the attire of the two sides in the battle, Sang Biao ashen-faced, his prison uniform had been replaced by beggar's clothes, and he was covered in dust and filth, appearing extremely wretched.

And Hafiz? He wore a handsome Auror trench coat, spotless, with a calm face, showing no trace of pride, as if capturing the Dark Lord was a trivial matter, nothing to be proud of, displaying the demeanor of a true strongman.

Immediately, some of Hafiz's Auror colleagues wanted to get closer to him.

"Hafiz, you're something else!" Some Auror pretended to be very familiar with Hafiz, trying to get close to Lester.

Lester didn't even bother to say a word to these people. With just a glance and a hint of murderous intent, he almost scared the pure-blooded Auror was trying to get close to him to the point of wetting himself.

Lester had heard Hafiz say before that he had practically no friends in the Auror pack. Only a few other Muggle- born Auror could support him, while all the other pure-blood Auror looked down on him.

Therefore, he naturally didn't need to give face to these pureblood Auror who looked down on his henchmen.

After scaring away the pure-blooded Auror with his eyes, Lester didn't even bother to look at him, focusing his attention directly on the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic.

Some might say that Hafiz should pretend to be forgiving, as this would help him advance his career in politics.

However, Lester stated that in the Wizarding World, strength is everything. Why would Hafiz, who defeated the Dark Lord, need to win over these Auror who had offended him in the past?

Not only will he not be magnanimous enough to forgive and forget, but he will also be petty and hold a grudge.

Of course, he didn't do this because he wanted to cause trouble; he did it simply to gain greater benefits and to make an example of these few Auror.

Lester calmly observed the group of high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Magic, his expression utterly indifferent, his feet seemingly rooted to the spot, showing no intention of moving an inch.

Similarly, the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic were also watching Hafiz closely, and none of them had any intention of moving first.

Lester knew what these purebloods were thinking. They simply thought they could control him because he was Auror from the Ministry of Magic and their subordinate. How ridiculous!

Looking at the high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Magic who still wanted to control him, Lester raised his wand slowly towards them with disdain.

A high-ranking official from the Ministry of Magic: "..."

Some were horrified as they watched ' Hafiz ' slowly raise his wand; all the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic, including Minister Bano, panicked.

Wait a minute! Didn't those pure-blooded Auror just say that Hafiz was a dim-witted, pushover who could be easily manipulated by showing a little kindness?

Judging from his current posture, it seems like he's ready to raise his wand and kill me at the slightest provocation.

[Ding! You have gained 120 Fear Points from a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic.]

[Ding! You have gained 145 Fear Points from a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic.]

[Ding! You have gained +123 Fear Points from a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic.]

[...]

Immediately, Lester gained a few scattered Fear Points.

Looking up at Hafiz's wand, which was about to be aimed at them, Minister Bano finally couldn't sit still any longer and took the lead, walking towards Hafiz.

Meanwhile, seeing that their superiors had made their move, the other high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic no longer held back. They wiped away their cold sweat and followed the Minister closely toward Hafiz.

If Hafiz were a good person like Dumbledore, these high-ranking officials could use their power to pressure him and make him serve them.

But judging from Hafiz's demeanor, he doesn't seem like a good person at all!

Despite being high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic, they are all cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. As soon as Hafiz hardens, they unconsciously back down.

Conversely, if Lester walks towards them first, Lester will lose the upper hand, and then they will have the upper hand.

So, despite the seemingly simple question of who makes the first move, Lester has already gained the upper hand over these high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic through this subtle exchange alone.

Now it's time to reap the benefits!
