Chapter 210: Argus Takes Action! Fudge Takes the Blame Again

"Germany, France, Austria..."

"It seems they didn't put in much effort."

Yagus looked at the information in his hand and chuckled lightly.

The relationship between the Ministry of Magic of Germany, France, and Austria and the United Kingdom is not bad. Because they are only separated by a sea, they often cooperate with each other.

Compared with the United States Congress or the Ministry of Magic of New Zealand, India, and Iran, it takes much less effort to promote this kind of cooperation.

"Is it our turn to act?" Vita stepped forward with a smile.

Pureblood families have connections in these three countries, but saints don’t?

Austria is their homeland, and Germany and France were also the territories of the Saints.

Even though they have moved now, the name of the saint is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

I don't know how much better than these pure-blood families.

"Has Bertha Jorkins been contacted?"

"I have been in contact, but according to the news from our people, she seems...not normal..."

Abnormal is normal!

She had bumped into the conversation between Barty Crouch and his son. If Barty Crouch hadn't been relatively upright, he would probably have no ashes by now.

"It doesn't matter if it's not normal, as long as someone notices that many people have been in contact with her during this period, it's okay."

There was a gleam in Yagus's eyes that Vita couldn't understand.

…

Crouch Manor.

Even when Barty Crouch returns home, his hair is still meticulously combed.

In the past few days, the situation in the Ministry of Magic has improved slightly, and the British pure-blood families have also begun to exert their efforts.

Many collaborations with the British Ministry of Magic followed.

While the work of the International Magical Exchange and Cooperation Department has become increasingly busy, his position has also been stabilized again.

"Dear Master, would you like to prepare some snacks for you?"

"Wait a moment." Barty Crouch rubbed his eyebrows.

"How is he today? Did he go out?"

"According to your instructions, dear master, the young master has been wearing an invisibility cloak at the manor today and has not gone out."

Twinkle bent down and said respectfully.

"You're quite obedient today."

As Barty Crouch said this, he remembered that Bertha Jorkins had often been spoken to by people in the Ministry of Magic recently, and a sense of vigilance quietly arose in his heart.

"Master, can you really not let the little master go outside and take a look? Shining feels that the little master is very pitiful..."

"No!" Barty Crouch said firmly.

"It's my bottom line to be able to get his mother to sacrifice her life to get him out of Azkaban!"

Barty Crouch is also a tough-tempered and serious person. After confirming that Barty Crouch Jr. was a Death Eater, he had no intention of seeking selfishness at all.

Without even giving Barty Crouch Jr. a chance to plead his case, he was sent to Azkaban.

During this period, if Winky hadn't felt pity for Barty Crouch Jr., often interceded for him, and took all the responsibility of looking after him on herself.

It is estimated that Barty Crouch really might get a cage at home and stuff Barty Crouch Jr. into it.

Even so, Barty Crouch Jr.'s range of activities was limited to a few rooms.

You must also wear an invisibility cloak at all times, otherwise you will not be able to move at all.

"Go ahead and prepare my clothes for tomorrow. I will meet some guests from Austria tomorrow."

"Okay, Master."

Winky snapped her fingers and just disappeared in front of Barty Crouch when she suddenly reappeared.

There was also a letter in his hand.

"Master, someone came to deliver you a letter today."

"letter?"

Barty Crouch was a little surprised and didn't take over, letting Winky open.

After confirming that there was no danger, he took the letter and read it.

There were only a few words in the letter, but it made him break into a cold sweat!

"Mr. Barty Crouch, I got some interesting information from Miss Bertha Jorkins."

"I believe you don't want your son to go back to that dark place again."

"Of course, I won't be greedy enough to ask you to quit the Ministry of Magic. I just need you to make some small concessions."

This letter was sent by Yagus.

In order not to expose the saint, he also deliberately changed his tone to sound like a villain.

Barty Crouch's expression was more serious than ever.

"Who sent this letter!"

"It's... it's a man in a black cloak, Twinkle... Twinkle has never seen him before..."

Although Winky didn't see clearly what was written in the letter, she could tell something was wrong from Barty Crouch's eyes.

I racked my brains to recall the appearance of the messenger.

"Has he been out in the past few days?"

"Have there been any strange people around? Tell me!"

Barty Crouch's eyes widened, and his once meticulous hair was now in a mess.

She was so scared that she was at a loss.

"No...no! Shining doesn't dare to disobey his master's orders."

"I have never let my little master go out during this period, and I have never seen any strange people come over."

Barty Crouch also noticed his gaffe.

He collapsed on the chair, looking extremely tired.

He knew that he had no room for negotiation.

The other party has figured him out, but he doesn't even know the other party's identity!

If the other party didn't send this letter, but brought the Auror directly...

He simply couldn't imagine the consequences!

After an unknown amount of time, Barty Crouch gradually calmed down.

There is no use panicking. Instead of panicking here, it is better to think about the next step.

"Do you think I can't find your identity if you don't show up?"

"As long as you make a move, you will leave a handle!"

"I don't need to find your identity, I just need to see who benefits from this matter..."

"Bertha Jorkins...it seems that she can't stay!"

...

Three days later.

What happened to Barty Crouch a few days ago was repeated on Alan Mitchell.

He even behaved more enthusiastically.

Compared with Barty Crouch, who may collapse, Alan, who is now in the limelight, is obviously more worthy of investment.

"Director Mitchell is indeed young and promising. He helped the Ministry of Magic to achieve so many cooperations with just a little move!"

"I believe that the position of director will be obtained in no time!"

"I can only say that Director Crouch is not so lucky. The cooperation is in the negotiation stage, and he suddenly fell seriously ill. Fortunately, Director Mitchell is here!"

"That's right, if it weren't for Director Mitchell, this cooperation might not be achieved!"

Alan Mitchell has dealt with this kind of scene many times and answered it with ease.

Except for some members of pure-blood families who received the order, the entire Ministry of Magic was in joy.

"Director Mitchell, since Director Barty Crouch is ill and needs time to rest, you will temporarily take over the work of Deputy Director of the Cooperation and Exchange Department during this period."

"You must complete this cooperation task well!"

Fudge smiled from ear to ear, and he didn't expect that a pie would suddenly fall from the sky and hit him on the head.

He stepped forward and patted Alan's shoulder, pretending to be pretentious.

He didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the distance!

"Cornelly Fudge!"

"It's you! It seems that I really underestimated you before!"
