The Aurors' Misfortune
"What did you say!?"
As expected, after the Devouring Teeth of Evil Leader expressed his opinion, a certain hot-tempered idiot immediately exploded.
"Are you kidding me? We... wait! You guys don't all agree with this view, do you?"
Although he had a fiery temper, he wasn't without brains to become the Madagascar Lion's Claw Leader.
Seeing the relaxed expressions on the faces of the other leaders, he knew perfectly well that these guys were also planning to wait and see.
"You guys, are you really scared?"
With a gloomy expression, the Madagascar Lion's Claw Leader scanned the faces of the others.
His cryptic remarks, seemingly oblivious to the atmosphere, successfully caused embarrassment to appear on the faces of the other leaders.
There was nothing they could do; they didn't want to be afraid either!
But the problem is, reality is what it is, and they can't afford to be unafraid!
In fact, until now, none of the leaders present knew the true extent of the Menethil Family's power.
They didn't get much valuable information from the wizard who managed to escape last night.
Those wizards who were terrified could only keep saying that the Menethil Family was incredibly powerful.
Nonsense! Do they even need to say something like that?
If the Menethil Family wasn't incredibly powerful, could they have stirred up such chaos in the entire American Wizarding World in just two nights?
This uncertainty about the Menethil Family's strength only deepened the unease in everyone's hearts.
In addition, the meteor shower that lit up the night sky last night was truly mind-blowing for many.
Strictly speaking, those powerful Stone Giant that descended from the sky, their bodies engulfed in dark green flames, did not cause much casualties to the attacked wizarding group.
But the earth-shattering power made everyone feel terrified.
If the Menethil Family took them to see a meteor shower every few days, they wouldn't be able to live a normal life!
Fortunately, the meteor shower did attract the attention of the Magical Congress.
According to reports from their informants, the Auror gathered early this morning, just as dawn was breaking, and headed to the Menethil Family's headquarters to conduct an investigation.
These leaders are all hoping that the Menethil Family will fight the Magical Congress of the United States of America, so why would they get involved at this time?
What if we accidentally turn it into a three-way battle?
"Ahem, it's not that everyone is scared, this is just a brainstorming session. The Devouring Teeth of Evil has only put forward one point of view. If there are different opinions, we can still raise them."
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the Eagle of Freedom Leader had no choice but to step in and act as peacemaker once again.
That's why it's tough being a big shot these days!
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense! You two go and discuss it yourselves, I'm not playing along!"
This time, the Madagascar Lion's Claw Leader will not be so easily fooled.
He slammed his fist on the table in anger, stood up, and left the conference room.
He didn't want to waste any more time here, watching those cowardly faces!
"He's gone, what should we do?"
Watching the departing figure of the leader of the Madagascar Lion's Claw, one of them asked a question.
"So what if he left? Did you really expect that muscle-bound barbarian to offer any constructive advice?"
Another leader said calmly.
"Haaah~!"
Stretching, Bell struggled to get out of bed.
If he hadn't been so hungry, he would have slept until tomorrow morning.
Of course, another reason is that the mischievous "kitten" outside the door has been waiting for who knows how long.
"Come in, when did you wake up?"
Bell called out towards the door.
With a loud bang, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.
Shanna, who had been peeking through the crack in the door for a while, happily rushed in.
"Gege, you're finally awake! I've come to call you for dinner! I've been awake for ages!"
"I'm full of energy, "Shanna said.
No matter how tired she is, as long as she gets a good night's sleep, she can always be full of energy again.
"Really? What time is it?"
Bell glanced at the window groggily, but the curtains were sealed with blackout magic, preventing any sunlight from getting in.
It's almost 7 o'clock.
Shanna replied.
"So late!?"
Bell said in surprise.
He must have come back to sleep around 5 a. m., which means he slept for more than 12 hours.
It seems that the widespread Hellfire Rain had really taken a huge toll on his energy.
Even now, he can still feel a faint stinging sensation deep in his brain.
"What have you been doing all day?"
While getting dressed and washing up, Bell asked Shanna a question.
"I'm going to see the Auror!"
Shanna answered happily.
"Watching the Auror play?"
Bell was puzzled.
When did Auror become like monkeys in a zoo? Something you can just watch and play with?
"Hmm! When I got up at noon, I found that there were a lot of Auror from the Magical Congress of the United States of America here, so I went to take a look out of curiosity."
Gege, you have no idea how funny those people were! I only used a little Illusion Magic to scare them, and they were waving their Wand and yelling like crazy. They're even more timid than Niffler!
Thinking about what happened that afternoon, Shanna couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
What Shanna didn't know was that the Magical Congress of the United States of America had basically confirmed that the series of disturbances that had occurred in the past two days were caused by the Menethil Family.
However, as an official organization, and facing a Britain wizarding family like the Menethil Family, the Magical Congress certainly couldn't just start a war without considering the consequences, like those small civilian groups.
They need evidence!
Even if someone wants to act like a scoundrel, they should at least occupy the moral high ground first. Otherwise, if the British Ministry of Magic questions them, the Magical Congress of the United States of America won't be able to explain themselves.
Therefore, the Magical Congress sent a large number of Auror to the Menethil Family's headquarters to conduct an investigation.
These Auror, of course, were all aware of the cause and effect of the matter.
Therefore, in their eyes, the magnificent and imposing headquarters of the Menethil Family was like a sinister and terrifying abyss, as if it could devour their lives at any moment.
The Auror, who were already prepared to sacrifice themselves at any moment, were naturally terrified when they encountered the illusion created by Shanna while under high tension.
If the headquarters buildings hadn't been reinforced with Curses, at least half of them would have been torn down by the terrified Auror.
When the Aurors discovered that the targets they had been attacking so frantically were just illusions, Auror and would certainly not let the matter rest.
They approached the head of the Menethil Family in a menacing manner.
