Xiwen and Miranda walked out of the hall together and entered the Rosier Manor.

He publicly announced Miranda's decision to become the director of the Pure-blood New Faction. Although most of the Pure-blood showed slight changes in expression, no one dared to express any objection.

Miranda's strength is undeniable, and it can be said that having such a powerful figure in charge is a major advantage for this newly formed Pure-blood force.

Even though she has only recently graduated and may lack management experience, with the experienced Kama overseeing the management team, this is not a major concern.

Therefore, the members of those Pure-blood families couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Must we use Miranda's less-than-noble birth as a point of contention? Don't be ridiculous. Everyone knows that this young leader who thwarted Grindelwald's plan doesn't care about the difference between Pure-blood and Half-blood. He unified the Pure-blood forces simply to use their power to change the situation in the Wizarding World.

Furthermore, the newly appointed Director Goshawk is not a Muggle-born or a Half-blood. Although her family had fallen on hard times for a period of time, they are still a legitimate family with a long-standing reputation in the Wizarding World of England!

Therefore, the Pure-blood present remained silent, which was considered an acceptance of Xiwen's decision.

Seeing that none of his subordinates, sitting on small stools, objected, Xiwen nodded in satisfaction.

"Since no one objects, then this matter is settled!" he said. "Do any of you chieftains have anything else to report? Your Director Goshawk and I will handle it together, which will also serve as a handover of responsibilities."

Upon hearing Xiwen's question, Kama stood up first and began to explain, "Recently, news spread that Grindelwald intended to cede France territory. After learning of this, Minister Victor of the French Ministry of Magic expressed his hope that our Pure-blood New Faction would return control of the French Ministry of Magic."

Upon hearing this, the crowd at the Rosier family manor erupted in noise, with everyone expressing strong criticism and condemnation of the shameless actions of the French Ministry of Magic.

"Let's have some quiet time," Xiwen said.

His voice wasn't loud, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.

The Rosier Manor fell silent in an instant.

"It's obvious that Grindelwald wants to incite infighting among us," Xiwen said. "However, we've worked hard to gain control, and we certainly won't hand it back to that Minister Victor who ran away at the first sign of trouble."

As he spoke, he gently waved his wand, Transformation a delicate sofa on the ground. He sat down comfortably and then gestured for Miranda to sit beside him.

Miranda smiled and shook her head, then conjured up a small stool on the ground just like the ones the Pure-blood were sitting on, and sat down lightly.

Seeing that Miranda was already in the zone, Xiwen chuckled and nodded.

He then addressed his subordinates, saying, "The problem now is that the French Ministry of Magic has been operating in this land for one or two hundred years, and can be considered the ruler with the hearts and minds of the people. Therefore, how to reasonably and popularly retain control of the France Wizarding World in our hands has become an important issue."

"Everyone, please share your thoughts."

Surprisingly, the patriarch of the McMillan family was the first to raise his hand.

The timid and cowardly chieftain seemed to know that his lackadaisical performance in the fight against the Pure-blood Party had greatly displeased the young leader, so he was eager to make amends and hoped to gain some credit by offering advice and strategies.

"Then Chief Macmillan, please share your thoughts first," Xiwen said, nodding.

Macmillan stood up respectfully, straightened his suit, and said to Xiwen in a serious tone, "I believe we should strike hard and give the French Ministry of Magic a good beating, so that their shameless ideas will never have a chance to grow again!"

Xiwen put his hand to his forehead at Macmillan's idea.

"I said, we must leave behind our rule in a reasonable way!" He gestured for Macmillan to sit down.

"In other words, whatever we do, we must do it from a proper and reasonable perspective. If the new forces take the lead in stirring up trouble and start fighting with what the France commoner wizards consider their own people, then we will be the ones in the wrong."

Xiwen waved his hand dismissively, then asked, "Does anyone else have other ideas?"

"Mr. Rozier, I believe we can assassinate Minister Victor of the French Ministry of Magic." The acting patriarch of the Carrow family, recently released from prison, stood up and said confidently. "As long as no one knows it was us, we can openly and legitimately place one of the people present here today as Minister for Magic!"

"Alright, sit down." Xiwen shook his head, somewhat speechless. "The French Ministry of Magic was assassinated at this critical juncture; even a fool could guess it was us."

Next, the Pure-blood wizard began a heated debate.

One person suggested secretly taking control of the French Ministry of Magic by subtly influencing Ministry of Magic staff; another said they should brazenly seize the Ministry of Magic, disregarding the opinions of ordinary wizards; still another suggested merging the Pure-blood New Faction into the French Ministry of Magic and establishing their own department...

Xiwen's face grew increasingly dark, his entire expression contorted in a grimace.

He was feeling extremely exhausted, and even wanted to storm into the French Ministry of Magic, disregarding the opinions of the common people.

As expected, these lazy, good-for-nothing Pure-blood wouldn't offer any good suggestions at all...

"Ahem, how about I share my thoughts?" Amid the chaos, Miranda coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention.

The Pure-blood gradually quieted down, turning their heads to look at the new director with distrust, as if to say, "What good ideas can a newly graduated witch like you come up with?"

"You tell me, just ignore these people." Xiwen rubbed his temples, gesturing for Miranda to share her opinion.

Miranda nodded to him and said, "Actually, in my opinion, the reason we worry about the opinions of ordinary wizards is because of the pressure from public opinion."

Her first words immediately caught Xiwen's eye.

"Since we're worried about the pressure from public opinion, I think we should take advantage of the opinions of ordinary wizards and use them to attack the French Ministry of Magic!" Miranda continued.

"As is well known, the French Ministry of Magic was cowardly before the battle even began in the war against the Pure-blood Party. They decided to flee almost as soon as they saw Grindelwald's army, abandoning much of the Ministry of Magic's property and the people of Paris."

"Taking advantage of this, coupled with the fact that many Pure-blood families have members serving in the French Ministry of Magic, it would be easy to incite the entire France Wizarding World to put Minister Victor on Judgement, thereby removing him from office and initiating a new ministerial election."

"After Victor steps down, we will continue to manipulate public opinion, comparing the contributions of the new forces to the France during the war with the French Ministry of Magic, thus creating a public opinion advantage among the masses and enabling our people to be elected as the new Minister of French Ministry of Magic."

"Once we get the position of Minister for Magic, we can use the connections of the new minister to support more new figures to be elected as cadres in various departments, thereby effectively controlling the entire French Ministry of Magic!"
