Facing Mike's slightly sarcastic eyes, Piquery really wanted to turn her back.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do this.

Not to mention that she couldn't beat Mike, even the internal and external troubles of the Magical Congress of the United States were so overwhelming that she could hardly hold her head up.

So, in the end, she could only reluctantly agree to Mike's proposal.

When seeing this, not only Mike, but also the ministers of the Ministry of Magic became excited.

They stood up one after another and couldn't wait to discuss the details of the business cooperation plan with Mike.

This includes countless projects such as foreign capital injection, factory opening, and infrastructure assistance construction.

At this time, they no longer looked like the solemn and solemn Ministers of Magic, but greedy hyenas.

But this is normal, no one can remain calm in the face of such a huge interest, even if they are the Minister of Magic.

Mike had a fake smile on his face and did not take the initiative to make requests. He would only say a few words aloud when he encountered a project he was interested in.

After talking like this for nearly an hour, everyone temporarily decided on a few projects.

This includes the Foreign Worker Introduction Plan of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China.

The essence of this project is actually that other Ministry of Magic acts as an intermediary, introducing capable foreign wizards to work in the Ministry of Magic of the United States, and then collects a part of the agency fee itself, and works with some rubbish schools to send students to factories for internships and then collects from the students' wages.

There is no difference in deducting benefits.

At first glance this may sound vicious, but after all it is exploiting a vulnerable group.

But in this special period, it is an excellent project that the three parties can do well.

Because there are not many employment opportunities in the jurisdiction of the small Ministry of Magic, and there is also blood discrimination, their Muggle wizards have a worse life than the previous Ministry of Magic.

Now through this project, they will get a decent job. The Ministry of Magic of the United States will get cheap labor. At the same time, the Ministry of Magic to which they originally belonged will also get a large sum of gold galleons. This is simply the best thing.

.

Compared with the excitement of the small ministries of magic, the attitude of the large ministries of magic in the United States is much colder.

They remained silent throughout the negotiation process. Although they did not come forward to interfere, they kept looking at their pocket watches and watches, looking impatient.

Seeing this, he sneered and ignored them. Instead, he continued to talk to the little Ministry of Magic about the details of labor introduction.

It wasn't until most of the matters were settled that Mike turned to look at Picquery and the others.

"The discussion at this stage will end here. Anyone who is interested in this can go to our Director of the International Affairs Department to discuss it in detail after the meeting." Mike paused and continued, "Next, let us enter

The last topic of this meeting. That is...the confidentiality law!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Their first reaction was that Mike wanted to do the same thing as Grindelwald and lift the secrecy law!

The Law of Secrecy is a law under the auspices of the International Federation of Magic, recognized by many countries, and recognized around the world.

In the process of the operation of the Secrecy Law, the order and stability of the wizarding world have indeed been improved to a great extent.

And if the law of secrecy really disappears overnight, then the so-called stability and order will no longer exist, because the conflict between Muggles and wizards will definitely intensify, and even a direct war will break out!

Piqueli and others sat up straight almost instantly, and they had even planned in their hearts that as soon as Mike said something like lifting the confidentiality law, they would directly object!

This is a matter of principle, and for this reason they are even willing to continue the war with the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China!

Looking at their reactions, the sarcasm in Mike's eyes became even more intense. He grinned and then continued:

"As for the confidentiality law, my opinion is to continue to maintain it, but I think some things need to be changed."

“When the International Magical Federation proposed the Secrecy Act, the explanation given was that the bill was to protect the interests of wizards, especially the interests of young wizards, from Muggle infringement.

But I think everyone here should know very well that in fact, it is Muggles who should be protected. Although there are many cases of young wizards being persecuted by Muggles before they have fully mastered magic, when this bill was first introduced,

, the power of Muggles is really nothing compared to wizards.

I actually understand the federation’s thoughts very well. After all, the circle of wizards is actually very small. If they don’t rely on the injection of fresh blood from the outside, the wizards will sooner or later go extinct due to too much inbreeding. So as a source of fresh blood for wizards,

Muggles have become even more important."

Everyone in the conference room nodded after hearing this, and some guys even had expressions of superiority on their faces, as if it was entirely theirs that the Muggles could continue to live, and that the wizarding world had not yet perished.

Same credit.

But Picquery is a little different.

To be honest, as the president of the Magical Congress of the United States, her IQ and knowledge are indeed higher than most people.

Therefore, she also knew very well that everything Mike was saying now was true. This was how the ministers who dominated the magical world actually viewed the Secrecy Act.

The reason why they unconditionally cooperated with the Federation to destroy Grindelwald was not only because he was a very terrible KB element, but also because of the protection of the secrecy law.

Because once the war starts, the Muggles, who are the source of new blood for wizards, will suffer disaster, which is also bad news for wizards.

And now that Mike plans to continue maintaining the confidentiality law, what exactly does he want to change?

Thinking of this, Piquely showed a confused expression on her face.

At the same time, Mike, who had been watching at the front for a while, also stood up after everyone quieted down.

He slowly walked around the conference room, and finally stopped next to Piqueli and said:

"Times have changed, brothers and sisters. What I need you to change is not a specific law, but your thinking.

Yes, in the past, the power of Muggles was indeed inferior to that of wizards. In the eyes of wizards, Muggles were just monkeys who could talk and wear clothes, and were not considered human beings at all. In fact, as long as wizards wanted to, they could kill them at will.

Killing all the Muggles in the world is as easy as squeezing an ant to death.

But things are different now. Grindelwald warned you back then that the power of Muggles is rapidly expanding with the support of technology, but it is a pity that you did not listen.

And now, decades have passed. I can tell you clearly that the power controlled by the Muggles has reached a legendary level! The reason why the leaders of Muggle countries still cooperate with us is not because they are afraid.

We, but want to stabilize us! They believe that as long as they are given enough time, they will have the power to crush the wizards, and by then we will become fish on their chopping board!"

Hearing this, the Minister of Magic couldn't sit still. He adjusted the monocle on his face and wanted to refute.

But before he could speak, Mike punched the table, shocking everyone.

"I don't want to argue with you on this issue. Regarding this matter, I believe that with your ability, you can know the truth by sending people to investigate.

What I want to say is that we are the weak side now!

I hope you can position yourself properly and uphold the law of secrecy. After all, this is for the safety of the entire wizarding world!

That’s all I have to say, let’s adjourn the meeting!”

After that, Mike World left the conference room with Arthur and Franklin, no longer paying attention to the stunned Ministers of Magic in the conference room.

It wasn't until he walked out of the conference room that Mike realized that the sun outside had disappeared, and bright artificial moonlight was spreading on the floor of the basement level of the Ministry of Magic.

Mike paused on the spot, and Arthur and Franklin also said nothing.

They also heard what Mike said at the end, but unlike the shock and disbelief shown by the Ministers of Magic, they felt more worried and helpless at the moment.

Because as a member of the Los Santos Group, they also know very well how big the threat from Muggles is.

But they didn't know how to deal with this matter.

Mike sensed their emotions, patted their shoulders and asked them to rest.

Arthur and Franklin were indeed tired and did not refuse. After saying goodbye to Mike, they left together.

Mike, who was still where he was, didn't let out a deep sigh until the two people's backs completely disappeared, and walked toward the fireplace in the minister's office with a somewhat frivolous but still crisp step.

Now that the war has officially ended, it's time for him to have a serious talk with Harry.

…

At the same time, in a villa within the secret territory of the Freemasonry, Harry and Snape were enjoying dinner.

Snape was obviously not used to having dinner with Harry. It was easy to see that at this moment, not only was his expression so serious that it could almost scare a child to tears, but his movements of cutting steaks were as stiff as a robot.

On the contrary, Harry behaved very naturally, and he would even chat with Snape from time to time, although the other person would not respond to him.

As for Ms. Kate, she was naturally at the table, and Snape and Harry were not so particular about not allowing the maid to eat at the table.

It's just that she didn't seem to be very interested in the pile of dishes she cooked on the table. She just kept staring at Harry and Snape, and smiled like an aunt from time to time, as if she was full.

Harry couldn't stand Ms. Kate's gaze. He raised his head and glanced at Kate with some embarrassment, hoping to use this method to remind Kate not to do this.

But the other party didn't seem to understand what he meant, and instead blinked at him strangely.

Harry lowered his head silently.

Looking back on his experiences over the past two days, he began to regret it a little.

Now, like Snape, he also lives in this villa area called the Watch Area.

But it wasn't the black-robed wizards who forced him into it.

According to the thoughts of those men in black robes, Harry himself still has a large degree of freedom. As long as he does not leave the country, he can go to most places he wants to go.

Of course, tracking and monitoring are indispensable. After all, Harry's matter is not over yet. This is what the people in black robes have told Harry from the beginning.

And the reason why Harry is here now is actually his own decision.

He knew very well how much trouble his behavior had brought to Mike, and he felt quite guilty about it, so he wanted to use this method to punish himself.
To be continued...
