Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 332: The Gringotts Heist (Part )

"After many days of testing, we have proven that the Portkey you created does work."

In the Masonic secret realm, Mike looked at the mug floating in the air and said to Zhou Hong with satisfaction,

"I have to say, you did an outstanding job!"

"That's right, don't you see who did it?"

Benjamin spoke excitedly. He looked even happier than Zhou Hong himself, which made everyone present speechless.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that the portkey is ready, all we need now is Victor's dissolving solution." Mike said, "Benjamin, how's he doing?"

Hearing this, Benjamin changed his previous playful look and said seriously:
"The progress is pretty good. The solvent can shorten the time by another minute. That means we only need 4 minutes to break through that damn door now."

"Oh, that's great." Mike said, "In that case, let's start early tomorrow morning. Let's take a rest today. Everyone will gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room showed joy on their faces, and then their loud voices reached the ceiling.

"Yes!"

……

The next morning, Franklin, who was so excited that he couldn't sleep, dragged Clinton to the conference room before dawn.

But when he arrived at the meeting room, he found a large black suitcase on the table.

Franklin looked at the suitcase curiously. He knew that the things inside must be related to today's action.

Clinton, who was still yawning beside him, knew what he was thinking. She slapped Franklin's strong arm and scolded him:
"Don't move! Wait until the president comes before opening it!"

Franklin was not angry after being scolded, but just nodded repeatedly with an extremely humble attitude.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Clinton was dragged out by me before dawn today. I am indeed in the wrong.

After being stopped, Franklin gave up the idea of ​​opening the box in advance and could only wait for Mike to come.

Fortunately, Mike unexpectedly did not arrive on time today as usual. Franklin and others didn't wait for long before Mike walked into the meeting room in the sunshine.

"Mike, that suitcase..."

As soon as Franklin saw Mike, he couldn't wait to ask, but before he could finish his words, he found that after Mike entered the meeting room, he didn't stop at all and walked straight to the box.

Then, Franklin saw Mike open the box very skillfully and took out a 'Ha Plant Monkey Mask' and a pure black combat suit.

"This...is this?"

Franklin was dumbfounded and speechless, and Mike said impatiently:
"What are you still standing there for? Come over and choose a set. First come, first served!"

Hearing this, Franklin no longer hesitated and walked quickly to the box.

As soon as he saw the items in the box, the expression on Franklin's face became extremely strange.

"This...is this Spider-Man? And this, is this Wolverine and Deadpool?"

Franklin had a constipated face. The things in the suitcase really left him speechless. There were actually sets of cosplay costumes of comic characters in it, and the one Mike was wearing was the most normal one!

"You, are you going to let us wear this to rob Gringotts?"

"Do you have any opinion?"

Mike's words made Franklin sober up instantly. He gave up all the other unrealistic fantasies and started to choose clothes.

In the end, Franklin chose a set of Hulk's clothes because he felt that the Hulk's strong and powerful body was more suitable for him.

Since Clinton was not a combatant and was not on the list of this operation, she did not step forward to choose clothes, but carefully helped Franklin put on the Hulk's clothes.

Mike, who was standing by, saw Franklin's choice and a strange look appeared on his face.

During this time, Zhou Hong talked a lot about his hometown, including the meaning of green in his hometown.

Just as Mike was daydreaming, the Weasley brothers walked into the conference room yawning.

But as soon as they entered the meeting room, they were dumbfounded.

"What are you doing?" George said in amazement.

Fred beside him just held his stomach and laughed.

"What are you laughing at! You have to wear them too!" Franklin said viciously, but before he finished speaking he suddenly realized something.

There are only 6 sets of clothes in the suitcase, which means they correspond exactly to the 6 people participating in the operation today.

However, when he was choosing clothes just now, he saw that there was also a set of women's clothing!

In other words... whoever arrives last will have to wear women's clothes to rob Gringotts?

Thinking of this, an evil smile suddenly appeared on Franklin's face.

He didn't say anything either. He just stood there with Mike, smiling happily, waiting to see who would get the women's dress in the end.

On the other side, the Weasley brothers didn't care when they saw that Franklin had no intention of saying more to them. They also went forward and started choosing clothes according to Mike's instructions.

In fact, they don’t care about wearing this kind of clothes. After all, they don’t understand the stories behind these clothes, so they don’t have any sense of shame.

But when they saw the clothes in the suitcase that were obviously women's clothes, they immediately understood Mike's sinister intentions.

Finally, the two of them picked out Deadpool and Spider-Man costumes.

The next person to arrive was Victor. He had made great contributions to the entire team in the past few days, so Mike did not make things difficult for him. In order to help him get in through the back door, he even prepared a set of clothes for him that only he could wear.

Iron Man armor.

Of course, it's just a showpiece.

But it seems that Victor is quite satisfied with this outfit, and he also saw the women's dress in the suitcase. He looked at the people at the scene and found that Benjamin and Zhou Hong were not there. An evil smile instantly appeared on his face like Mike and others.

Finally, under everyone's anticipation, Benjamin and Zhou Hong finally arrived at the conference room on time.

As soon as they entered, they saw the "superheroes" standing in a row in the conference room, looking at them with strange eyes.

"Wow! Are you guys cosplaying? Wait! Our combat uniforms are in the box? Well, let me see what you prepared for me!"

Benjamin said this and walked to the suitcase, looking somewhat expectant.

However, when he saw what was inside the suitcase, his expectant smile immediately froze.

There were only two costumes left in the suitcase, one was DC's Joker, and the other was Harley Quinn!
The kind with rainbow hair and twin ponytails!
"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, and Benjamin closed the suitcase at once, turned around and said to Mike with a smile:
"Mr. President, I think this mission is really dangerous. Why don't we let Zhou Hong go?"

Benjamin spoke in a gentle and sincere tone, as if he really cared about Zhou Hong. But his twitching eyebrows betrayed his inner restlessness at the moment.

Mike on the opposite side was about to refuse, but Zhou Hong, who was standing next to Benjamin, opened the box.

Then, his eyes lit up and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Joker! I like Joker the most!" As he said that, Zhou Hong snatched Joker's purple suit when Benjamin was not paying attention.

"Hey! Wait!"

Benjamin wanted to reach out and grab it, but the agile Zhou Hong had already hidden behind Mike.

Seeing this, Benjamin looked at Mike awkwardly and asked expectantly:

"Boss, is it okay not to wear it?"

Upon hearing this, the superheroes sitting in the meeting room looked at each other, with evil smiles on their faces, and said in unison:

"No!"

……

Half an hour later, with the enthusiastic help of Mike and others, Benjamin finally put on his equipment.

A set of short denim hot pants and a vest that are similar to a swimsuit bikini, paired with a white double-tail wig with rainbow-colored hair ends and oil paint on the face, a brand new "Harley Quinn" was born.

"It suits you unexpectedly, Benjamin."

"That's right!"

"I heard that there are only zero and countless times of wearing women's clothes. It looks like Benjamin is going to embark on a path of no return from now on!"

……

Listening to everyone's comments about him, Benjamin now just wanted to find a hole to jump into!
This is so shameful!

Especially the damn Mike, in order to ensure that the cosplay was restored enough, he even shaved his leg hair!

That's leg hair!
A symbol of a man!

After touching his extremely smooth thigh, Benjamin felt a surge of anger, and the wand in his other hand creaked as he squeezed it.

On the other side, Mike, who was chatting and laughing with Franklin and others, noticed this very keenly. Seeing that Benjamin might really be angry, he quickly said:

"Okay! Let's not waste any more time! Gringotts has been open for a while, it's time for us to get started!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone returned to their initial serious expressions, and Benjamin, who was about to explode, could only swallow his bitterness in silence.

"Well, I think everyone is clear about the next plan, right?"

"Of course!"

"Good!" Mike nodded in satisfaction, put on the 'Ha Plant Monkey Mask' and shouted, "Action begins!"

After that, Mike and the others quickly formed a circle with the portkey mug as the center, then they looked at each other and reached out for the mug at the same time.

"Crack!"

Following a chaotic burst of explosions, several people in strange costumes disappeared in the conference room.

At the same time, Zhou Hong, who had been dressed up as the Joker, smiled evilly and drank the potion in his hand.

With a teeth-grinding sound of bones twisting, Karkaroff reappeared in the conference room.

"Zhou Hong!" Soraka called out to Zhou Hong who was walking towards the fireplace, "Bring Benjamin back to me safely!"

Zhou Hong paused when he heard this. The smile on his face disappeared. He seriously made a scissors gesture to Soraka behind him, and then disappeared in the green flames flashing in the fireplace.

……

Inside the lobby of Gringotts, the Goblin Boiler was humming a little tune while sorting out the account books at hand.

It was really very happy because yesterday it received a wanted criminal client and made a lot of money from that client through some small tricks.

Although if he informed the Ministry of Magic of the whereabouts of that guest, he would also be able to receive a bonus from the Ministry of Magic, the amount would be even more than what the previous guest gave him.

But the boiler still chose to protect the guest.

The reason was not because of Gringotts's rule of accepting anyone who comes, but because the customer was obviously not short of money. If he worked harder, he would definitely be able to extort more gold coins from him.

'Ah! How I wish that guest could come to Gringotts today!'

Such a roar came from the depths of the boiler's heart, and at this moment, a tall shadow covered its tiny body.

Knowing that another guest was coming, Boiler sighed deeply, then forced a standard smile and raised his head.

"Sir, what is it... Oh! Sir! You are here again!"

The boiler said with surprise that the guest who appeared in front of it was none other than Mr. Karkaroff.

However, Mr. Karkarov at this moment was different from the sneaky one when he came last time. This time, Karkarov actually held his head high, with a smile on his face, looking very domineering.

Boiler glanced at the wall again and saw that the wanted poster of Karkaroff was still there. He complained in his heart:
'Are all wanted criminals so arrogant these days?'

On the surface, the boiler behaved extremely respectfully. It bent its waist, smiled flatteringly and asked:

"Guest, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Oh, you look familiar. I remember you were the one who helped me open an account last time. You also cheated me out of a large sum of gold Galleons." Before the boiler could reply, Karkaroff continued, "Never mind. I'm here to withdraw money today. Have someone take me to the vault."

As he spoke, 'Karkaroff' placed the vault key and wand on the counter and asked Boiler to verify his identity.

"Sir, how about letting me take you down personally this time?" After verifying the identity, Boiler handed over the key and wand and said, "You know, my driving skills are the best in the whole Gringotts!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Boiler found that the old man opposite was looking at him with a very strange look, as if he was very surprised by what he said.

"Emm, then... just lead the way."

Upon hearing this, Boiler's face immediately revealed an ecstatic expression. There was no doubt that the guest in front of him had not yet escaped the Ministry of Magic's wanted list. So when he got to the underground vault, he could blackmail him heavily!
Thinking of this, it put down the account book in its hand and led Mike into the underground vault.

Without saying a word along the way, the man and the fairy arrived at the vault very smoothly and opened the door.

The boiler's eyes flashed with greed, and it looked desperately into the vault, intending to take a good look at the vault of the guy in front of it so that it would be convenient to make an offer later.

However, after just one look, the boiler was stunned.

There were no gold Galleons in Mr. Karkaroff's vault, only five wizards in strange costumes holding wands.

"Ah, you're finally here. We were almost bored to death."

A monster covered in green said so.

But the answer it got was a strange, crazy voice, and the source of the voice was actually behind it!
"Sorry, sorry! The roller coaster was so much fun that I let this guy take me on a couple more laps."

As soon as he finished speaking, Boiler felt a cold hand falling on his face.

Turning his head with difficulty, Boiler saw the owner of that hand!
It was a scary clown wearing a purple suit, with heavy makeup on his face and cracks at the corners of his mouth extending to his ears!
Instinctively, Boiler wanted to scream, but the next moment, as the clown slowly covered his eyes with his hands, Boiler found that he could not control his body at all!
