Chapter 331 Zhou Hong’s Self-Recommendation

"Then we decided to adopt plan B!"

In the conference room, after a heated exchange of words, Mike finally decided on the final plan of action.

Upon hearing this, Benjamin, Soraka and other members who chose Plan A showed distressed expressions.

In their opinion, compared to the roughness of Plan B, Plan A is safer and more reliable.

"Mike, although we prefer Plan A, since the result of the voting and discussion is Plan B, we will naturally obey the organization's arrangements. But obeying is obeying, and I still have to say what I need to say." Benjamin said, "The most important key in Plan B is the speed of breaking through the door of Bella's vault. Now, although we can break through the door within five minutes with the help of Victor's solution, it is not enough. You have to know that when we actually arrive at the scene, every time Every minute is extremely precious. So,"

Benjamin stood up, glanced around the people in the conference room and then said,

"I don't think we need to be too anxious. It might be a good choice to move the implementation time of the entire plan back and give Victor more time to improve the solution."

This statement won the approval of others, and even those who voted for Plan B were nodding.

Mike, who was in the first place, glanced at the calendar on the conference table, which clearly recorded the current date:

July 28, 1995.

"Time is running out. I can give Victor a week at most. After one week, we must take action no matter what."

Mike's words silenced Benjamin. Although Mike didn't make his words too clear, he understood that the current situation of insufficient time was entirely because they, the checkpoint personnel, wasted too much time on preliminary work. Relationship.

If he could obtain information about the Bella Gate material earlier, Victor would have more time to develop the dissolving solution.

Thinking like this, Benjamin's fists were clenched tightly together unconsciously, and at the same time, an emotion called self-blame slowly rose in his heart.

Mike didn't pay attention to Benjamin at all. He glanced at everyone present and then said:

"We can't be idle during this week. It just so happens that we can do some preparatory work."

"Preparations? Do you mean pretending to be someone else and opening an account at Gringotts?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hong, who was originally so bored that he was playing with his wand, suddenly became energetic. He stood up and looked at Mike expectantly.

"Um, actually it's okay to use the Imperius Curse to control others to open an account..."

Before Mike finished speaking, Zhou Hong interrupted:

"Let me go!"

"?"

Hearing this, Mike had a puzzled look on his face.

Benjamin, who was still blaming himself on the side, was even more exaggerated. He suddenly jumped up from his seat and shouted decisively:

"no!"

"Why not? I have the ability to read minds!" As he spoke, Zhou Hong's eyes flashed, and then he showed a sly smile, "Let me tell you, if you had brought me with you when you first stepped in, you wouldn't have to do it now. I blame myself for being like this!”

Zhou Hong's words were like a knife thrust into Benjamin's heart. His face turned red with anger and he said in a trembling voice:

"This is too dangerous, absolutely not allowed!"

On this side, Zhou Hong and Benjamin were still arguing, while on the other side, Mike was deep in thought.

Unlike Benjamin, he never regarded Zhou Hong as a child from the beginning, even though Zhou Hong's body shape and appearance looked no different from those of a child.

After getting rid of this discriminatory view, Mike found that what Zhou Hong said was surprisingly correct.

Reading minds and worrying, Zhou Hong is simply a born spy!

Perhaps as he said, if he had eliminated Zhou Hong earlier, the matter might have been successful.

Thinking so, a smile appeared on Mike's face.

"Okay, you two don't have to argue." Mike knocked on the table to stop the quarrel between the two and said, "Leave this matter to Zhou Hong."

"I obey! President!"

Zhou Hong said excitedly, and even raised his eyebrows at Benjamin after saying that, making Benjamin very angry again.

"So what are you going to do?"

"How to do it? Do you still need to ask? Of course I will pretend to be someone else to open an account myself!" Zhou Hong rubbed his hands and said, "As for who to pretend to be, of course it is that bad old man Karkaroff!"

Zhou Hong's eyes were shining, and before Mike and others could ask questions, he asked and answered himself:

"Then why choose Karkaroff? The answer is of course - because it's fun! When the Ministry of Magic discovers that the Gringotts Heist happened entirely because Gringotts allowed a wanted criminal to open an account in their bank , I guess they will fight with those goblins on the spot, right? Hahaha! I can’t wait to see their expressions then!”

Zhou Hong's somewhat nervous laughter echoed in the conference room. Everyone was a little confused when they saw this, and Mike was even more speechless.

He finally saw that the reason why Zhou Hong rushed to take this job was not because he wanted to contribute to the organization. He only participated because it was fun!

With such a willful character, are you really not a child?

Mike thought so and couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"Okay, you can handle the specific matters yourself. If you need anything, just go to Benjamin and Victor. They will do their best to satisfy you. By the way, can you make the door key?"

"Who are you looking down on? Of course I can do such simple things!"

"Okay, my fault! My fault!" Facing Zhou Hong, Mike really had no idea at all. He quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!"

After speaking, Mike walked out of the conference room without looking back. Benjamin originally wanted to talk to Mike about stopping Zhou Hong, but Mike moved very fast. When he chased him out of the door, Mike had already disappeared. Gone.

"well!"

Sighing helplessly, Benjamin was about to leave when he heard a mean voice suddenly appear next to him.

"Then it's up to you, Senior Benjamin."

After saying these words, Zhou Hong walked away with a smile, leaving only Benjamin who was gritting his teeth.

…

In the fireplace hall of the secret realm of Freemasonry, Zhou Hongzheng was sitting on the sofa with an unhappy look on his face, and next to him was Benjamin, who was holding up a small package and talking nonstop.

"...There are several bottles of Polyjuice Potion here. Drink it when the time is almost up. Don't save. Also, I have improved these Polyjuice Potions. They taste much better. I even refer to them. He learned how to make Dolphin's Magic Drink and created different flavors for him. For example, this bottle is strawberry-flavored, this bottle is orange-flavored, and this bottle..."

Facing Benjamin's long-winded words, Zhou Hong gradually began to feel desperate.

Three days have passed since the plan was finalized. During these three days, Benjamin made full preparations for Zhou Hong's operation to go smoothly, and the most critical one was the polyjuice potion.

This kind of magic potion that can turn people into other people is nothing to Benjamin, but the most difficult thing is that if you want to turn Benjamin into Karkaroff, you must add Karkaroff into the polyjuice potion. Husband’s body tissues, such as hair, nails, etc.

But Karkaroff is currently missing!

Fortunately, Karkaroff was in too much of a hurry when escaping and pulled too many things without taking them with him, including the cloak.

Through magic, Benjamin extracted Karkaroff's hair from the cloak, and then created the polyjuice potion that can turn people into Karkaroff.

"I know, give it to me."

Finally, Zhou Hongzai couldn't stand Benjamin's behavior anymore. He snatched the cloth bag from Benjamin's hand, took out a bottle of potion and drank it in one gulp.

The next moment, Zhou Hong's body began to twist and deform, and eventually turned into Karkaroff's appearance.

After the transformation was completed, Zhou Hong looked at his body with satisfaction, and then led the cloth bag Benjamin prepared for him into the fireplace where Floo powder had been sprinkled.

"Be careful! Zhou Hong! If there is danger, use the door key to teleport back!"

Benjamin's worried voice was still echoing in his ears, but Zhou Hong appeared in the crowded Leaky Cauldron Bar at this moment.

Zhou Hong pretended to be very nervous, stretched out his hand to tighten the tall hat on his head, hugged the bag tightly in his arms, and quickly left the bar without even dusting himself off, heading to Gringotts.

The guards of Gringotts opened the door for him respectfully, and then looked at Zhou Hong with smiles on their faces, waiting for him to give him a tip.

It's a pity that Karkaroff should be an extremely stingy person. So Zhou Hong, who was now pretending to be Karkaroff, had no intention of paying a tip. He bypassed the two guards blocking the way and walked to an empty counter.

"I want to rent a vault." Zhou Hong lowered his voice and said in slightly stiff English, "To save money!"

The goblin who was busy on the counter glanced at Zhou Hong, and then his eyes lit up.

The Zhou Hong in front of him looked sneaky, and he really didn't look like a good person.

And this kind of person is undoubtedly the easiest to get angry!

"It is a pleasure to serve you, sir. What level of vault do you require?"

“The safer the better!”

"Okay. Then please register your personal information and your wand."

The goblin on the counter smiled formulaically, then took out a form and handed it to Zhou Hong.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Hong filled out the form based on the previously collected information about Karkaroff and handed it back.

The goblin looked at the name on the form, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he raised his head sharply, looked at Zhou Hong's face and then looked at the wall next to him.

Zhou Hong followed its gaze and saw a wanted notice from the Ministry of Magic posted on the wall. The person wanted on it was none other than Karkaroff!

"I heard that Gringotts will not refuse any guest, even if he is a dark wizard. Is that true?"

Zhou Hong's tone became extremely nervous. He held the cloth bag in his arms tightly, pressed the brim of his hat again, and at the same time tilted his body slightly, assuming a posture in which he could run to the door at any time.

The smile on the goblin's face became even brighter when he saw this, and he said with a smile:

"Yes, sir, Gringotts does not care about the identity of its guests."

‘But it’s different for me personally. If you don’t give me a hundred today… no! If you don't give me a thousand gold galleons, I'll report it to the Ministry of Magic! ’

The goblin didn't say the second half of this sentence, but Zhou Hong relied on his mind-reading ability to read it.

Suppressing a smile, Zhou Hong pretended to feel distressed and grabbed a handful of gold galleons from the cloth bag and gave it to the goblin.

"That's enough!"

The goblin looked at the gold coins in front of him greedily, but his head shook involuntarily.

Seeing this, Zhou Hong didn't even hesitate, grabbed the gold coins on the counter and turned around.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, the goblin's high-pitched, nervous voice came over.

"Wait! Sir!"

Zhou Hong smiled, but turned around with a nervous expression.

"Sir, I think that was great!"

With the sound of gold coins colliding, the goblin closed his eyes with satisfaction and handed a key to Zhou Hong.

"Sir, this is your vault key. I will have someone take you there later." The goblin said, "I'm sorry that this is not the safest first-level vault, but I think the second-level vault is also adequate. Your needs are met.”

Zhou Hong knew that the goblin's implication was that a guy like Zhou Hong was not worthy of owning a first-class treasury.

Such words had a hint of contempt, but Zhou Hong was not in the mood to talk to the demon ink at the moment. After giving it a vicious look, Zhou Hong followed the guide and got on the mine cart.

When the mine car started to speed up, Zhou Hong screamed excitedly.

The mine cart that Mike and Benjamin hated so much looked so interesting to Zhou Hong, it was a hundred times more exciting than the roller coaster in the amusement park!

But after screaming, Zhou Hong regretted it, because obviously an old thief like Karkaroff would never get excited enough to scream over such a trivial matter.

Fortunately, through mind reading, Zhou Hong discovered that the leader sitting in front of him was not suspicious, and even increased his speed in a very naughty manner, trying to scare him to the point of peeing!

This made Zhou Hong extremely happy. He shouted excitedly, enjoying the passion brought by this extreme speed. Sparks and lightning came all the way to the platform where his vault was located.

After getting off the car, Zhou Hong quickly put away the remaining excitement on his face and complained to the goblin guide who got off the mine car with a proud look on his face:

“Your service is really bad!”

The goblin guide naturally knew that Zhou Hong was referring to the mine cart, so he apologized without any sincerity, and then helped Zhou Hong open the door of the treasury.

Zhou Hong continued to complain while walking towards the vault.

The guide was following him, but when it was about to step into the vault, Zhou Hong suddenly turned around and said viciously:

"what are you doing?"

"Help you organize the treasury, sir. This is our custom here."

"I don't need it! Wait outside for me!"

After saying that, Zhou Hong roughly pushed the goblin guide out.

‘Ignorant idiot! ’

Listening to the cry of the goblin who was pushed out of the vault, Zhou Hong smiled. He took out a mug from his arms and slowly pointed at it with his wand...
