New Faction's New Director

Xiwen opened a Dimensional Gate, dumping the half-dead Saints all at once outside the Maginot Line of France, and then left them there.

He has indeed released them; as for how Grindelwald will pick them up, that's a matter for the Pure-blood Party.

After releasing the Saints, the once high-spirited Xiwen immediately sneaked back to the Hospital Wing. Before Mrs. Dallaire would conduct his next examination, he lay back in bed, pretending to be obediently recuperating.

Seeing Xiwen's behavior, Miranda couldn't help but chuckle and tease, "Hmm? Isn't this the leader of our Pure-blood New Faction? Why has he become so docile?"

"Do you think I wanted to? I was just afraid Mrs. Dallaire would give me another dressing down!" Xiwen rolled his eyes, condemning Miranda's heartless behavior. "And not only did you not help, you just stood by and watched the spectacle."

"Alright, I admit I was wrong, okay?" Miranda tapped the corner of her mouth slightly, then asked, "How's the situation with the Pure-blood Party? Have they really released everyone?"

"Yes, but I picked an inside man from among those Saints, hoping he'll be of some use," Xiwen nodded.

Miranda nodded slightly, then asked, "So what do you plan to do next? Continue to consolidate your influence in France?"

"Theoretically, we need to consolidate our power in France first before we can do anything else," Xiwen said softly, frowning. "But time is tight right now; we need time to absorb the Pure-blood families in England."

"I actually wanted Kama to reorganize the power of the France for me, so that I could have time to return to the England and continue the Pure-blood integration plan."

Miranda said, "But you can't guarantee that Grindelwald won't go back on his word. If France doesn't have a top-tier fighter, they could very well be defeated by Grindelwald in a short time."

"That is indeed a problem."

Xiwen rubbed his eyebrows in frustration and stared blankly at the ceiling of the Hospital Wing.

"Alright, let's not think about that for now. Focus on getting better; you have final exams coming up in a few days," Miranda said with a reassuring smile to the worried Xiwen. "I also have my N.E.W.T. in a few days, and then I'll need to start thinking about work."

"Don't worry, Miranda. A witch as outstanding as you won't need to look for a job after graduation; jobs will come to you," Xiwen joked.

While chatting with Miranda, his gaze inadvertently swept over the thick leather book beside his pillow, where the three elegantly written words "Book of Spells" were clearly visible.

Xiwen's eyes suddenly flickered.

"Miranda, what are your specific plans after graduation?" he asked.

"Of course. I'll probably stay with the International Confederation of Wizards's team for a while longer to further hone my skills in battle," Miranda said. "Although I've overcome that bottleneck, I still have a long way to go before I become a true Grand Wizard!"

"Actually, I think you could consider some other work." Xiwen stared intently into Miranda's bright blue eyes, asking seriously, "Don't you think it's a waste of your talent to volunteer in a small wizarding squad?"

"What, do you have something on your mind?" Miranda asked.

"What I mean is, have you ever considered becoming a director in my organization in France?" Xiwen asked.

"You can name your salary; money is the last thing we're short of here!"

Ten minutes later, in Paris, France, on the Rhine River.

Traces of the damage to the Rosier family manor six months ago are still faintly visible; Grindelwald's Fire Shield Protection and Dumbledore's Flame Storm almost burned everything in the yard.

However, the Rosier family's iconic blue roses were replanted and are thriving under the care of the Herbology the family hired.

Inside the manor surrounded by blue roses, hundreds of Pure-blood wizard sat upright on small stools temporarily Transformation by Transformation, looking with awe toward the luxurious doors of the Rosier family hall.

Meanwhile, in the hall, Miranda was staring blankly at the surrounding furnishings, wondering how she had been so bewitched as to accept Xiwen's offer and come to this family home on the Rhine River.

Just ten minutes earlier, after Miranda hesitantly accepted the job offer, Xiwen pressed the Time-Turner, using his past self to pull Miranda into the Rosier family hall.

His body was lying in a hospital bed at the Hospital Wing, where he still had to deal with Mrs. Dallaire's examination...

Similarly, ten minutes earlier, Xiwen had used the Two-Way Mirror to notify Kama, who was managing the Pure-blood New Faction in France, to gather the members of his forces at the Rosier family's manor for a brief meeting.

This led to the scene of hundreds of Pure-blood wizard gathering together in the manor.

In the Rosier family hall, Miranda asked hesitantly, "Do you really think I can manage these Pure-blood? You know, I don't come from any prestigious family."

"Don't worry about that. The concept of bloodline is one of the things I want to gradually dismantle," Xiwen said casually. "Besides, you might not know this, but while these Pure-blood seem to value bloodline more than anyone else, in reality, they only care about strength."

"Most of these people witnessed our duel with Grindelwald, so they would naturally have no objection to you being appointed as the director."

"But what if Grindelwald suddenly goes back on his word and comes to France to attack us?" Miranda asked, still somewhat uneasy. "I'm not confident I can stop him alone. If the power you've worked so hard to build suffers any setbacks in my hands, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"That makes sense." Xiwen stroked his chin thoughtfully. "We do need a way to quickly break free from the Anti-Disapparition Jinx to ensure your safety."

Then, he suddenly slapped his thigh, a brilliant idea striking him.

"Got it!"

As he spoke, Xiwen opened a small Dimensional Gate and brought out a cat with bright yellow eyes and silver fur from the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

"Meow?" The Little Cat, which had just been playing, looked completely bewildered.

Xiwen handed the Little Cat to Miranda and said to her, "If Grindelwald goes back on his word and launches a sneak attack, have the Little Cat take you away from the scene immediately, then contact me using the Two-Way Mirror."

"I will immediately open Dimensional Gate to find you and fight Grindelwald together!"
