"Don't say stupid things!"
Old Minister helped Joseph up from the ground and pressed him on the soft sofa.
He personally poured a cup of hot tea and even took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from Joseph's face.
"I know it all, I know it all."
Old Minister's tone was as gentle as if he was comforting an injured child,
"Pist has explained everything. You are just a father who was forced to surrender. The real traitor is Pist. He forged the documents and was working for Vought International. The reason why I want you outside is to appease the people and protect you!"
After hearing these words, Joseph's last doubts disappeared with the mist of hot tea.
He took a deep breath, grabbed Old Minister's wrist, and lowered his voice eagerly:
"Teacher, please don't be deceived by Pist! The one who massacred Auror last night was not an ordinary poacher at all, it was Mutant Army of Vought International! They used the blood of Fantastic Beasts to create New Compound V who is not afraid of magic!"
A dark light flashed deep in Old Minister's eyes, but on the surface he perfectly acted as if he was extremely shocked. "What did you say?! Mutant Army? Vought International actually dared to..."
"It's absolutely true! I've seen them with my own eyes!"
Joseph was so anxious that he burst into tears. He couldn't wait to pour out everything he knew, "There are thousands of them, and they even have military backgrounds! Wizarding World is very dangerous now!"
Having said this, Joseph's originally dim eyes suddenly burst into hope.
Since the old mentor is still the righteous mentor, the trump card he brings back will be the biggest turning point in saving Wizarding World.
"But you don't have to despair, teacher, although we have suffered heavy losses, we still have a chance!"
Joseph came closer, "During this period, I was taken in by a group of extremely special people. They lived in a place called Long Island Estate. The leader was named Lynn, as well as the Homelander John on TV, and Soldier Boy Benjamin during World War II!"
Old Minister's pupils suddenly shrank, and the fingers holding the tea cup stiffened.
Joseph was completely unaware and continued to report excitedly:
"They used to be super humans created by Vought International, but now, they are Vought International's mortal enemies! The people in that Manor are so powerful that they are not afraid of Compound V at all. As long as you send people to Long Island Estate to form an alliance with them, we will cooperate inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to give Stan Edgar the most fatal blow!"
The office became quiet.
Old Minister quietly looked at the former disciple in front of him who was so excited that his face was flushed, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that his naive apprentice would accidentally find out Vought International's biggest inner problem.
That "Long Island Estate" who has repeatedly failed Edgar, and even he, the supreme leader of Ministry of Magic, is unable to find out the truth about "Long Island Estate".
Old Minister slowly put down the teacup, and the shock on his face gradually turned into deep relief and emotion.
"Joseph, my good boy..."
Old Minister stretched out his hands and held Joseph's shoulders heavily, with emotion in his voice, "You have done a great job! The information you brought back is the only light for North American Wizarding World in the darkness!"
Joseph was shaking with excitement. "Then we will send someone to contact them now..."
"No, there's no rush."
Old Minister looked solemn and interrupted Joseph's words.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the angry Wizards people below who were still shouting that traitors should be punished severely, and his tone became extremely serious.
"Joseph, you saw it when you came in just now. Now all Wizarding World and Wizards are in extreme grief and anger, and their hostility towards you has reached the edge of getting out of control.
If at this time, I publicly clear up your grievances, and even say that you will represent Wizarding World to form an alliance with the Superpower supporters of Muggle... the people will completely riot, and they will think that I am harboring traitors, and the credibility of the entire Ministry of Magic will instantly collapse."
Joseph was stunned for a moment, and then the light in his eyes dimmed. "You are right... I am too impatient. What should I do? What else can I do for you?"
Old Minister turned around and looked at him with a loving look.
"You must not show your face now, let alone leave my sight."
Old Minister came back and said earnestly,
"For your safety and to stabilize the situation outside, I will hold a press conference to publicly announce that you have been personally arrested by me and imprisoned in the lowest-level prison for serious criminals in Ministry of Magic. This is a temporary explanation to the angry family members of the deceased outside."
Joseph looked at Old Minister blankly.
"But this is just for outside viewing."
Old Minister patted the back of Joseph's hand, his eyes were extremely sincere,
"Actually, you stay in my office. There is my private living room behind this door. It is absolutely safe. No one will disturb you. You can rest here and rest peacefully. Sort out all the details you know about Long Island Estate and Vought International. When I stabilize the situation in the ministry, we can plan a counterattack together."
Joseph After hearing these words, tears burst into tears again.
He knew how many people outside wanted to eat him alive, but the old man in front of him, in order to protect him, was willing to take the huge risk of deceiving the entire Wizarding World and hide him by his side.
"Teacher..."
Joseph choked with sobs and was so moved that she could hardly speak.
Lynn's warning had long been completely forgotten by him. He only felt that in this cold and cruel world, there was still the purest kindness protecting him.
Old Minister's kindness is not over yet!
"Thank you... I will listen to your arrangements. I will write down everything I know word for word and give it to you!"
"Good boy, I have wronged you."
Old Minister smiled and patted Joseph's back like a loving father.
