Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 410 The Power Seizure

A floating estate in Stockholm.

The Wizarding Union is holding an emergency meeting here.

"Norway, Finland, Germany, Egypt, Spain, and so on..." A wizard stood on the stage, "Muggles have been frequently witnessing magical creatures and phenomena in various places. I must severely criticize the attitudes of these member states towards fulfilling the Wizarding Secrets Act!"

"Our secret is in grave danger! Buckle down! Otherwise, our world will be devastated!"

"Bang!" A water glass was smashed on the podium.

"Fools!" roared a flat-nosed wizard below. "Our world has been devastated! But not by Muggles, but by Murphy and his anti-wizard rebels! They're the ones who caused this!"

"Please don't use such excuses to cover up the fact that you haven't done your best in your work," the host said.

"Open your eyes, you fools! You're all a bunch of cowards, afraid of Murphy, afraid of the war with him, so you pretend the chaos he caused happened naturally?"

"You guys are as stupid as ostriches burying your heads in the sand!"

"Terrible magical disasters have occurred in various places, with an intensity and frequency never before seen!"

"And this is all because of Murphy's actions. He broke the secrecy law, and we've all heard the truth: magic becomes uncontrollable when the secrecy law is broken!"

"Instead of dealing with those magical disasters one by one, we should be discussing how to stop Murphy!"

"Why stop him?" someone suddenly asked. It was an Italian witch with heavy eyeshadow. "Haven't you noticed that our spells are getting stronger?"

"But magic is causing disaster. Countless Muggles are dying because of the magic disaster, and many wizards are also in danger!" Flat-nosed warned.

"What do we care if Muggles live or die?" the witch scoffed. "We used to hide because we were afraid of the Muggles' power, but now our power is growing while the Muggles are being weakened by the magical calamity. I don't see anything to worry about."

"Damn it, are you a follower of the Wushi Party?" the flat-nosed wizard said with disgust.

"We are not followers of that old man Grindelwald," the witch said, a disdainful smile spreading across her face. "Don't you all understand? Our chance has come. Didn't you see what Murphy Darkholm did?"

"He controlled the British Muggles; he transformed England into a wizarding nation!"

"And we can do the same thing!"

The hall immediately erupted in noise. The flat-nosed wizard sighed. Every now and then, some wizards like this would jump out, always thinking they could replicate Murphy's path to success. This arrogant witch in front of him was clearly one of them.

Just as he was about to retort, the door was suddenly pushed open, and several wizards entered the hall, ignoring the Aurors' attempts to stop them.

"We are British wizards, representing the British Ministry of Magic and Mr. Murphy Darkholm, and we have something to say to you," said the leading British wizard.

After another round of arguing, the British wizards' representatives were finally invited to the stage. This was the first time they had sent an envoy to the meeting since withdrawing from the Wizarding Union, and everyone was eager to know what they would say.

"First, I need to inform you of some facts."

"We are being hacked," the British wizard said, placing a photograph on a device, and a projection immediately appeared in front of everyone.

Harpy.

Then he changed the picture again, to "Gorgon".

"Cowboy".

"Three-headed dragon".

"Cancer Demon God".

After showing more than a dozen pictures, the British wizard finally said, "These are magical creatures that have long since disappeared or become extinct, some of which are mythical creatures, but they are being revived."

"These creatures are incredibly powerful and extremely dangerous; they are disrupting the order upon which we depend for survival."

"Therefore, the British Ministry of Magic calls on wizards around the world to unite and work together to address this global magical resurgence disaster."

"We have found that countries are still dealing with these events in the old way, ignoring their specificity, and therefore have suffered huge losses. Many wizards have been injured or killed while dealing with these disasters, which is something we do not want to see."

"Therefore, the British Ministry of Magic will provide assistance to various countries. We have a mature training mechanism and a good command system, which can greatly increase the survival rate of wizards. We sincerely hope that wizards from all countries can join our ranks and fight together."

However, the British wizard's proposal received no response.

Are you kidding me? Handing our people over to you for training? To be under your command? Don't you think Murphy's power is big enough?

Ultimately, the British wizard was kicked out of the hall.

After the meeting ended, the Eyeshadow Witch who had spoken earlier used the door key to return to her country. That night, a group of young wizards gathered in a basement in Rome.

"As we expected, the Wizarding Association is a bunch of fools and stubborn old men. They don't dare talk about Murphy, nor do they dare oppose him. They're afraid of him. But we've already investigated Murphy; he's just a fraud, a businessman, nothing special! He only possesses his current power because he's audacious enough, only because he's using magic against a bunch of Muggles who know absolutely nothing about magic!"

"If he can do it, so can we!"

The witch produced a rudimentary map. "This is Muggle city. This is Capitol Square. I've already investigated; important Muggle officials hold meetings here."

"We can break in, capture their leader, and I can use the Imperius Curse, or have Jahangir use Polyjuice Potion to transform into his likeness. It's easy to control him, and once we control him, we control the Muggle nation!"

"If Murphy can borrow Muggle weapons and so-called Muggle magic, so can we! We can do it even better than him!"

The remaining wizards nodded. "Tell me your plan, Jacqueline."

"Alright, Thackeray, you're in charge of contacting more allies. Didn't you have a lot of friends back in school? What are they doing now? Washing dishes or feeding the Moon-Demons? Call them all over and tell them that if they help us win this war, everyone will have more money than they can spend!"

"Ocai, your father is the Guardian Auror of the Muggle President, right? Put a few drops of the Water of Life and Death in his drink and let him have a good sleep. When he wakes up, he'll thank you."

"Enrico, I remember you know Fiendfyre? If things get into trouble, just unleash Fiendfyre and burn all the Muggles in your way to death."

After calling out the names of more than a dozen people, assigning tasks to each of her companions, and even bestowing upon them their respective positions after the successful power grab, Jacqueline waved her hand and declared, "Ready to move out? Let's show those Muggles what we're made of!"
