Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 140: Is "All Roads Lead to the Way" legitimate?

Zhang Chulan, or rather Feng Baobao, is quite capable. In just three days, she uncovered the entire network of people who had been secretly following Wang Ye, including several groups and their respective residences. The next step was simple: go to each of them and arrest them all.

A Jinbei van, so unassuming, began to move. After it started, not only Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye, but even Zhang Chulan learned a lesson.

What is meant by "professional"?

No tools were needed at all; with just a light touch, the door lock opened. Feng Baobao silently slipped in, while Owen floated in the air to follow. As soon as they entered, the two didn't even need to exchange glances; they went directly to the left and right into the two bedrooms. Just ten seconds later, the two came out at the same time, each carrying a person in their hands.

That wasn't all. Without saying a word, just with a glance, Owen reached out and took the person Feng Baobao handed him, then went out. Just as Wang Ye was about to follow, Feng Baobao suddenly spoke up: "Where are you going? Stay here and keep watch."

Zhang Chulan, quick-witted as ever, chimed in, "This group works in two shifts. It's daytime now, so the day shift hasn't returned yet. We can just wait here and wait for them to come back."

Wang Ye pointed blankly at the gate: "That old Ou is—"

"He'll take care of those two, then he'll stay downstairs and wait for us to succeed so we can immediately head to the next group of people."

Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye were dumbfounded. No, they had only exchanged a glance and that was all they had said?

"Old Wang, those two, were they using the inner vision—"

Wang Ye smiled wryly and didn't reply. The inner realm wasn't a place anyone could just enter. Owen was a magician, completely different from the supernatural system. As for this Feng Baobao—he couldn't see through her, but she was definitely not a sorcerer. Otherwise, back when Luo Tian Dazhan was determined to bury him, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

Although they ultimately didn't completely escape—and were almost wiped out—

So, in the end, the fact that these two have this kind of tacit understanding can only mean that this is definitely not the first time they've done something like this!

They're not newbies like them, they're veterans!

There's not much to say about Owen and the others; their cultures are different. But Feng Baobao is a company employee, so Wang Ye looked at Zhang Chulan and asked, "A-Lian, Na Du Tong—is that a legitimate company?"

Zhang Chulan patted his chest: "It's definitely a legitimate company, with six types of insurance and one housing fund, no problem at all!"

Wang Ye suddenly lost interest in chatting, and the group stayed in the room until night. The day shift workers returned and were apprehended as soon as they entered. When they brought their men down, the car was already moving. Without thinking much, they got into the car with their men, and Zhang Chulan gave directions while Owen drove, heading towards a secret location.

Then they went to arrest the second group of people, but this time Irving didn't even get out of the car. He didn't want to get too involved. If he got interested, he could lend a hand, but if he got too involved, it would be somewhat illegal, violating the secrecy law.

Because under the secrecy laws, these Outcasts are all Muggles without magical talent, and are a group that wizards need to keep their distance from.

This is because he is abroad, and in this ancient Eastern country, the wizards' power is almost zero, which is why he can be more at ease and indulgent.

But he still knows how to maintain a proper distance when necessary.

Therefore, the main task of the arrest naturally fell to Wang Ye and his group. Then—a slight problem arose, and the three of them were all kicked out of the stronghold by Feng Baobao and ended up in the car together.

Irving was alright, but what truly terrified everyone else was Feng Baobao's unwavering composure, even in the face of a collapsing mountain. She stopped right next to the security guard, bought two jianbing (Chinese crepes), and even chatted with him for a little while.

"Ah Lian, is Na Du Tong really a legitimate company?"

This time, it was Zhuge Qing who asked, but Zhang Chulan's answer lacked its previous decisiveness: "Yes—definitely—"

Bar----"

After loading the people into the car, Irving stepped on the gas and drove off. The second group of people was dealt with, and now they were preparing to head to the third group. But on the way there, something happened.

The traffic police were doing a check and happened to stop at their location. Everyone was quite relaxed, thinking it was just a small matter. However, one sentence from Irving made everyone in the car, and even the traffic police, break out in a cold sweat.

"What's a driver's license?" Irving spread his hands. "I don't have one. I'm not eighteen yet, so I can't take the test."

Good guy!

Everyone got out of the car, and after much pleading, the car was impounded, Irving was impounded, but the others were released.

When it was time to part, Owen remained quite calm, comforting Zhang Chulan and the others: "It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm a foreigner."

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because as soon as it was, Zhang Chulan became nervous again: "Your visa hasn't expired yet, has it?"

Irving grinned: "Where would I get a visa? Don't worry, I'll be joining you guys soon."

While it wouldn't warrant using a Soul-Stealing Curse on the traffic police, a slight Forgetfulness Curse would be perfectly acceptable. So, no sooner had Zhang Chulan and the others left than Owen was escorted out. The person who escorted him was none other than the one who had investigated them. This person looked at Owen with a serious expression and said, "We are traffic police, not criminal investigators. If you're looking for lost property, you can report it at the police station, understand?"

Irving nodded: "Understood, thank you very much. I'm sorry to have disturbed your work."

Watching Irving's retreating figure, the traffic police officer nodded approvingly: "This young foreigner is quite polite; he's a good one."

After coming out, Irving didn't immediately meet up with them. Instead, he found a quiet coffee shop, ordered a coffee, and then took out a quill pen and notebook to start taking notes.

He wasn't there for the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, nor was he interested in them, but he did have a strong desire to research them. Whether they were innate or acquired, they all had strong resistance to drugs. However, whether this energy also had strong resistance to curses was something that needed to be studied.

So what he needs to do now is to first prepare a simple Qi cultivation technique. If he can't cultivate Qi, then the experiment can't be carried out.

As for whether magic or training is more powerful, or whether wizards or Inhumans are stronger or weaker, Owen never even considered it. From a young age, he learned from Dumbledore that what is powerful is not strength, but the person who uses that strength.

Therefore, he is no longer one of those who only know how to pursue power. What he needs to do is to control power and break through from within.

"Wow, so handsome! Can I have your WeChat?"

Irving looked up at the two young women beside him and smiled slightly: "Sorry, I don't have a cell phone, I only have a phone watch."

The two young women were stunned for a moment, then ran away with their faces flushed.

It's understandable not to have a cell phone, but if there's a phone watch instead of a cell phone in this country, there's only one explanation: a minor!

Magic is a magical energy. Owen's immense magical power also improved his physique. Although he is very tall, his face still has a slight childishness, so whether he is an adult or not is up to him to decide.

In this situation, it would be very impolite to refuse the lady, but Irving didn't want to have any contact with her, so it's understandable that he pretended to be young.

After drinking a cup of coffee until dusk, Owen got up and headed towards the agreed-upon location. By the time he arrived, the job was done; all the people secretly monitoring Wang Ye had been captured. However, finding the other mastermind behind the scenes still required a different approach.

As sorcerers, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing naturally chose to use sorcerer methods, so when Owen arrived, he happened to see Feng Baobao posing these guys in a very strange way.

Not knowing why, he naturally wouldn't reach out recklessly, so he took out his phone and took pictures of all of them.

Both masterminds behind the scenes have come forward.

The head of the Shuzi Sect, Chen Jinkui, is interested in Feng Hou Qi Men, which is understandable, since they are both sorcerers and their expertise is a good fit.

However, no one expected that Wang Ai from the Wang family would also get involved. This was because the Wang family had already mastered one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. This was no secret after Wang Ai defeated Feng Xingtong, who also used this technique, at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

But the Wang family has another idea about Feng Hou Qi Men?

The Wang family is truly greedy.

This was everyone's thought, but not Owen's. Ever since he secretly tricked the Wang family, the Wang family seemed to have forgotten about him. No one sent anyone to keep an eye on him, nor did they intend to take action against him in secret. Since they didn't come, Owen was naturally happy to relax.

Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss.

Zhang Chulan had an idea, but it was obvious that this guy had ill intentions. However, Wang had no better solution and could only leave it to him to carry out.

Wang Ye's matter can only be considered a private matter. Moreover, what is being discussed most in the world of supernatural beings right now is not the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, but rather—the Celestial Master descending the mountain to wipe out the Quanxing Sect.

That's right, the Celestial Master still went down the mountain. Although Tian Lao was protected by Owen and was not harmed at the most critical moment, but instead ran away to a place thousands of miles away to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the night market, the Celestial Master was still furious about this incident of targeting his junior brother and causing a ruckus at Longhu Mountain.

Moreover, the old man was ruthless. Along the way, he would kill any member of the Quanxing sect he encountered without fail. Even on the street, a beam of light would fall from the sky, hitting the Quanxing demons precisely, but without harming anyone else.

This kind of power, which is completely beyond comprehension, is naturally undetectable to ordinary people, but the company cannot turn a blind eye to it. They are both angry and helpless about the old master's behavior.

Logically speaking, Quanxing caused considerable losses on Longhu Mountain this time, and some fools even set fire to the mountain.

No one will compensate the Celestial Master's Mansion for these losses; the Celestial Master's Mansion must bear them on its own. What's worse, the Quanxing Sect had its eye on the old Celestial Master's junior brother. They didn't succeed, but if they had, everyone knows what would have happened to Elder Tian.

So when the Old Master gets angry and throws a tantrum, no one can say anything. The various factions among the Ten Elders completely ignore the company's offer, because they can't bring themselves to make that offer!

There were even a few factions that, though they didn't say it aloud, secretly thought the company was meddling in their business!

When the old Celestial Master went down the mountain, he only brought one disciple with him. And the disciple didn't even lift a finger; the old Celestial Master did all the killing. That's already giving him a lot of face, isn't it?

If they really get really angry, it won't just be the Celestial Master's Mansion that will act together, but the entire Zhengyi lineage. The Quanzhen faction won't disrespect the old Celestial Master either, and will naturally take action. And over the years, the forces or individuals that have received help from the Celestial Master's Mansion, how could they not come to lend a hand?

Even if they have nothing to do with the Celestial Master's Mansion, who among them doesn't have a grudge against the Quanxing Sect?

How could these people so easily let go of such a good opportunity?

So, if the Celestial Master were to shout "The Quanxing Sect should be destroyed," or some other slogan, just wait and see if the Quanxing Sect still exists in the world of supernatural beings!

But the company wasn't looking at those things, so they tried to persuade him, even involving Old Master Lu, who had a very good relationship with the old master.

Irving could only see these things on the forum, because these wonderful programs were all over. The old Celestial Master had returned to the Celestial Master's Mansion, which meant that Irving also had to prepare to go back.

"Leaving?" Zhang Chulan looked reluctant. "Old Ou, what will I do without you?!"

"Then I won't leave."

Owen sat down again, and Zhang Chulan was dumbfounded.

In the end, Bao'er came over, helped Owen up, and took him to the airport in that Jinbei van that had been used to carry everything.

Just as Irving was about to board the plane, a car suddenly rushed into the airport. Chairman Zhao got out of the car, pulled Irving off the plane, and then took him back to the headquarters building.

"Establish diplomatic relations?"

Irving was initially surprised by Chairman Zhao's suggestion, but after thinking it over, he was no longer surprised.

All-Tong is in charge of all the supernatural beings in the country. To put it bluntly, it's similar to the function of the British Ministry of Magic. Both are units responsible for managing a small group of people who possess supernatural powers.

So after thinking it over, Irving agreed, but the details of establishing diplomatic relations between the two sides still need time to be discussed. Moreover, the purpose of establishing diplomatic relations is not to exchange goods and services, but mainly to have an ally to consult with when facing the international situation.

This is also a good thing. Although the Inhumans are a secretive group like the Wizards, their ability to integrate into society is unmatched by the Wizards. This is something the Wizards need to learn, and it is one of the reasons why Owen agreed to establish diplomatic relations.

Owen's word alone wasn't enough for this, so the Ministry of Magic naturally sent people from the Foreign Affairs Office to discuss the details of establishing diplomatic relations. When these people arrived at the Ministry, they were all very polite to Owen. Cedric, his former student and now the Deputy Envoy, was overjoyed to see Owen and chatted with him for a long time.

Having refused to be the mastermind, Owen found himself in a dilemma, unable to leave or stay. So, he turned to Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, who initially intended to use the mission as an excuse to get rid of Owen. However, with just one sentence from Chairman Zhao, Zhang Chulan had no choice but to back down.

"Old Ou, let me make this clear: you can come along, but don't do anything reckless."
