Chapter 400 Seizing Power

"Dumbledore!"

Seeing the figure appearing out of thin air in the flames, everyone instinctively called out his name.

As the flames gradually extinguished, Dumbledore landed lightly on the ground with Fox's help.

Dumbledore's eyes soon fell on the fifty Los Santos wizards who were lined up in a neat square in the living room. His expression was slightly stunned. It was obvious that he was also stunned by Mike's generosity.

However, Dumbledore was also a well-informed person. The look of surprise only appeared on his face for a moment and then disappeared, replaced by a warm smile.

"Good evening, everyone."

Dumbledore said softly, and everyone responded quickly, but Tonks on the side was different from the others.

The moment Dumbledore appeared, she hid beside him and said angrily:

"Dumbledore! Moody killed Kreacher, the house elf of the Black family, and hung his head on the wall!"

The expression on Moody's face was very exciting when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Tonks would snitch on him.

For a moment, his face was clouded. To be honest, he was not too afraid that Dumbledore would blame him at this moment. Instead, he was more angry, because in fact, he was not Dumbledore's subordinate. The relationship was nothing more than a cooperative relationship, so Moody was not afraid of Dumbledore.

But Tonks' current behavior reminded him of betrayal!

"Moody has already reported the whole story to me, Tonks. Moody cannot be blamed for this matter." Dumbledore said, "The situation at that time was too urgent. Although Moody's behavior was a bit extreme, it was It’s all for Blake’s safety.”

The expression on Tonks' face was not very good after hearing this, but she finally nodded, agreeing with Dumbledore's explanation. Moody on the side didn't say anything more, just snorted coldly.

Mike in the other corner of the living room saw all this, and at the same time, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

It seems that Dumbledore's seemingly united and friendly Order of the Phoenix actually has various internal conflicts.

Each member of the Order of the Phoenix was so unique that Mike even felt that if there was not such a powerful external pressure as Voldemort, the Order of the Phoenix would have fallen into endless internal strife.

Just as Mike was thinking, Dumbledore's voice suddenly came over.

"Mike, are these the helpers you brought?"

"Yes, Principal Dumbledore. They are all security employees within the Los Santos Company. They are the most elite wizards, and they are all the power I can bring to the table."

Mike lied without changing his face. In fact, the fifty elite wizards in front of him were far from all his power.

Not to mention that he still had the power of the Freemasons that he had not yet used. For this operation alone, in addition to the fifty people in front of him, he also summoned an additional two hundred ordinary wizards.

It's just that the two hundred wizards have been arranged by him near the Ministry of Magic. If something goes wrong in this operation, they will be in danger.

Then the two hundred wizards will swarm forward and act as cannon fodder to buy Mike time to escape.

It's just that Dumbledore obviously didn't realize that Mike was lying. In his expectation, a young man like Mike shouldn't have such strong strength at all. He was very surprised to see so many elite wizards in front of him.

So he nodded and said:

"Mike, I really appreciate you reaching out."

"You're welcome, Principal Dumbledore. Fighting Voldemort is something we all need to do." Mike smiled and said, "So, what are you going to do now? Do you have any plans?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Dumbledore. They gathered here tonight just to fight, and what Dumbledore said next was likely to be related to their plans tonight.

"I have arranged for Kingsley and the others to investigate the Hall of Prophecy and the Ministry of Magic. I believe he will soon send us information. If the Death Eaters have really gathered in the Ministry of Magic, we can attack immediately." Dumbledore's face was filled with a confident smile, "But before that, I have one more thing to say..."

Dumbledore suddenly stopped talking. He cast his eyes on Mike and stared at him for a while before saying:

"Mike, you have to take the OWLS exam tomorrow. Please don't participate in tonight's action. Your helpers can stay. I believe that with our current strength, we should be able to complete our previously set goals. "

As soon as these words came out, Mike's brows immediately frowned, and at this moment Moody's trembling voice also came out from the side.

"This is a good idea! I hope I can serve as the temporary commander of this force. I was once the senior section chief of the Auror Office. I commanded far more than this number of elite Auror troops in the previous battle against Voldemort at his peak. , please believe in my ability!"

Moody's expression was extremely excited, and his eyes when he looked at the elite wizards were even more fanatical, as if they were not a group of fully armed wizards, but fifty beauties in bikinis.

Mike's expression became even more gloomy. Regardless of whether Dumbledore had good intentions or not, his move was undoubtedly to seize power!

Mike licked his teeth and was about to speak, but Arthur next to him said first:

"I'm sorry, I'm the commander of this team."

Since both Arthur and Mike's costumes were exactly the same as those of wizards, Dumbledore and others originally thought that Arthur was also one of those elite wizards.

It wasn't until Arthur took the initiative to reveal his identity that everyone finally noticed him.

But this attention didn't matter. Dumbledore and Moody discovered that Arthur was different almost immediately, because the weapon Arthur used turned out to be a sword!

This was very unusual. Dumbledore first thought of the sword-and-staff duel wizards represented by Gryffindor in the Middle Ages, but after further observation, he rejected this conclusion.

Because he couldn't sense any magic in Arthur's body, which showed that Arthur was probably not a wizard!

A hint of cunning flashed in Moody's eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he slowly walked towards Arthur, saying in a very unbeatable tone as he walked:

"Oh? Are you their commander? I can't see it, right? A little brat like you..."

Moody's voice suddenly stopped. This was not because he suddenly realized his conscience and canceled his temptation, but because a silver sword flashing with dangerous light was already pressed against his neck!

Lupine, Tonks and even Dumbledore were all startled by this sudden change. Arthur's movements were so fast that no one could see his movements clearly. They almost only felt a flash of light, and Arthur's movement was too fast. Se had already brazenly restrained Moody.

And this was not the end, as Arthur took action, the elite wizards of Los Santos who had been standing silently behind him and Mike like statues also started to move.

They all took out their wands and quickly dispersed, surrounding Luping and others in standard tactical formations simulated in advance for indoor warfare.

Looking at the densely packed wands pointing at herself and others, and the indifferent expressions of their owners, Tonks felt her scalp tingle.

As a Disguise Magus, her sensing ability is also very good, so she can clearly feel that these so-called wizards of Los Santos really have murderous intentions towards her and others at this moment!

I believe that as long as Mike or Arthur gives the order, they will launch an attack!

And under the siege of such a number of wizards, even Dumbledore couldn't protect them all!

"What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"

Arthur's voice came out slowly, and Moody in front of him raised his neck and said:

"Sorry, Commander, I was wrong."

Although he was saying soft words, Moody's little movements in private were not many. While he was retracting his neck as much as possible, his hands on both sides were slowly gesturing towards Mike and Ya. Gestures that Se couldn't understand.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Arthur doesn't care so much. He just steps forward and hands over the silver sword in his hand.

The sharp blade pressed into Moody's muscles, and it broke through his skin with almost no effort. The bright red blood slowly dripped down. These Moody's could no longer move and could only use their magic eyes. Staring at Arthur closely, he used his naked eye to cast a look of help at Dumbledore beside him.

However, Dumbledore did not make the slightest move. He just stared at the Los Santos wizards in front of him in silence, as if thinking about something.

Arthur looked at the scar-faced Moody in front of him with a mocking look. Although the other person was a professional senior Auror with very rich combat experience and powerful magic power, in the eyes of a witcher like him who had the ability to naturally restrain wizards. It's really nothing, even the opponent he thinks he can hit with one hand can't even recognize his own mother.

For a moment, the living room became tense. Big drops of sweat appeared on Moody's forehead. At the same time, he also realized that Dumbledore might not mean to save him, so he turned his pleading eyes aside. of mike.

"Principal Dumbledore," Mike did not pay attention to him, but said to Dumbledore with a chuckle, "I feel that in my current situation, I don't need to pass any level examination to prove myself, right? So today I’d better take part in the late action as planned, what do you think?”

As if awakened by Mike's words, Dumbledore's eyebrows twitched and said:

"Although as your principal, I am very reluctant to let an outstanding student like you give up the exam, but judging from the current situation, it seems that this is the only solution."

"Then, happy working together."

Mike said with a smile.

Although Dumbledore's tone was a little cold, he didn't care at all.

Because in his opinion, Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix was not on the same side as him at all. Since the other party had already begun to seize power, he did not need to give the other party any face at all.

What's more, Dumbledore is already a dead man in Mike's eyes. Mike has already made up his mind. When this operation is over, he will tell Dumbledore everything about the Horcruxes and let Dumbledore find the resurrection stone ring and die. !

With this in mind, Mike waved his hands towards the Los Santos wizards and Arthur.

The former put away his wand as soon as he received the order, returned to his original position and rearranged his team, while the latter chuckled lightly, flicked his sword, and then sheathed his sword.

Moody gasped, staring at Arthur fiercely, and began to apply some unknown medicine to his still bleeding wound.

Lupine and Tonks beside them both breathed a sigh of relief.

In their hearts, the Order of the Phoenix and Mike are friends no matter what.

But other people don't think so much that now everyone can't get along with each other as if nothing happened at the beginning.

Nowadays, although everyone still maintains a friendly relationship on the surface, in fact, both they and Mike and his group are wary of each other.

Just when the scene fell into silent embarrassment, the fireplace in the living room lit up with flames again.

Everyone quickly turned around and saw that the flames in the fireplace transformed into a bald face. Tonks' hair color suddenly turned emerald green, and she shouted excitedly:

"Kingsley!"

"Hello, Tonks." The human face in the flames said with a smile, "Dumbledore, I have checked the entrance to the Department of Mysteries through detection magic. There are indeed several people who do not belong to the Ministry of Magic tonight. Members entered the Department of Mysteries and have not left yet. Although I cannot monitor their activities within the Department of Mysteries due to permission issues, if my guess is not wrong, they should be Black and Bellatrix. It’s a group of people.”

"Thank you for the information, Kingsley." Dumbledore nodded, "Then we will go to the Ministry of Magic later. Please be able to meet us there."

"I understand, then I'll see you later."

After saying this, the flame in the fireplace suddenly went out, and everyone in the living room turned their attention to Dumbledore.

"Principal Dumbledore," Mike said, "How are we going to enter the Ministry of Magic later? You must know that the Floo Network node inside the Ministry of Magic should be closed at night, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this at all. We have Fawkes. With his ability, he can take us into the Ministry of Magic. It's just that he can't carry too many people at a time, so he needs to run a few more times."

Hearing what Dumbledore said, Phoenix Fawkes quickly flapped its wings and chirped triumphantly, and Mike looked at Phoenix Fawkes on Dumbledore's shoulder with intense eyes.

No matter how you look at it, Phoenix Fox is a very powerful pet. If possible, Mike would really like to have a phoenix.

It's a pity that the phoenix is ​​notoriously difficult to tame. Only a few people in history, except for the Dumbledore family, have been able to tame it, and these people are all noble and powerful people.

Mike can still be satisfied with the former, but there is really nothing Mike can do about the latter.

He is very self-aware, and he is not a good person from beginning to end.

And just when Mike had already discussed and was ready to go, Harry, Ron and others also started taking action...
