Chapter 226 Clash of Ministers
The British Ministry of Magic.
A weekly council of ministers.
Before the seven men were top-secret videos recently acquired from the opposite corner, and a newspaper that had caused a sensation around the world, the Gargoyle Roar newspaper.
"What do you think?" As a representative of rigidity and uprightness, a powerful defender of all laws in the wizarding world, and a ruthless man who could personally send his own son to Azkaban, Crouch was very dissatisfied with this behavior. Regardless of whether the starting point of this behavior was to protect, he had indeed violated the law.
He asked the question only because he estimated that even if all the Aurors in the British Ministry of Magic attacked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat him. Otherwise, he would have already encouraged Scrimgeour to personally lead a team to arrest those who violated the Law of Secrecy. Even if the Wizarding Court ultimately ruled him not guilty, the authority of the Ministry of Magic and the procedural justice of the Law of Secrecy still needed to be upheld.
Unfortunately, aside from upholding the law, he is also a normal person who can clearly distinguish between what is within his power and what is beyond his power.
Scrimgeour's face was filled with shock that anyone could see; it was no surprise that anyone who saw the footage would feel the same way.
He recalled seeing one of his subordinates writing a letter to a friend in the Magical Congress. One sentence in the letter resonated with him: it essentially said that no one, not even Dumbledore, could act arrogantly in front of a hundred or so Aurors.
Now, everything he saw told him that even if there were hundreds or thousands of Aurors, they would be nothing more than clay chickens and earthenware dogs, easily destroyed by an explosion.
That's pretty cool!
Currently, the third most powerful person in the Ministry of Magic, Deputy Minister Ralvin, is the most relaxed person at the entire long table, almost as if he's humming a song with his legs crossed.
Upon hearing Laukki's question, he replied casually, "How can we watch? Just sit and watch."
"Minister Larvin, the entire international community is watching our moves. We need to come up with a foolproof plan," Laukke raised his voice.
Larvin remained nonchalant: "What do you suggest? Send a notice to Hogwarts, demanding that the perpetrator and the person involved come to the Ministry of Magic for investigation? If you dare, you can issue it."
These words left Laughing and turning pale: "The Ministry of Magic belongs to everyone. How can it be the responsibility of just one person? We need to pool our wisdom and come up with a solution!"
Larvin yawned, stretched, and walked out of the conference room without looking back. As he walked, he said, "Three things. First, just let me know when you've discussed it; I completely agree with everyone's opinions. Second—"
He had his back to the six people, so no one could see his expression, but his words made the six people behind him feel the radiance on his face: "The Secrecy Act? A relic from hundreds of years ago. For the wizarding world, how can it compare to the importance of Ryan?"
"Finally, Mr. Laughch. If it had been Lane facing his friend's misguided path, his choice would never have been to hand his friend over to Azkaban at the final judgment."
Crouch's face flushed red, and everyone looked at him. Everyone knew about Crouch's act of sacrificing his own son to send him to Azkaban.
"That's for justice! He did something wrong! Not doing so would be ignoring the law! It would be going against the justice of all wizards! That's what wicked people do!"
His usual polite, composed, and old-fashioned gentlemanly demeanor crumbled, and he roared in a fit of rage.
"Of course, of course, for justice." Larvin laughed. "Believe me, no one has ever questioned your upholding of the law, nor will anyone question your upholding of justice."
"But I'm emphasizing the moment of final judgment. How could a father, during the years of Voldemort's reign, not realize the true nature of his closest and dearest son? Why wait until he's finally caught, and only then, with concrete evidence, does he stage a 'righteous act of betrayal' in the courtroom?"
He stood in the doorway and opened it: "Mr. Laukkien, I can't help but ask, was it that you couldn't perceive it, or that you were unwilling to perceive it? Only when you were forced to perceive it at the very end did you reluctantly stage a belated act of justice?"
Larvin departed gracefully.
The meeting room was deathly silent.
Everyone was holding back their laughter, and they all knew why Larvin and Laukki were so at odds.
That's because when maggots first appeared, Raven came to Laucker to discuss the attitude and policies that the British wizarding community should have towards maggots.
Who is Krocchi?
A renowned pure-blood wizard, with foresight, but not much. Yet, very accurate in judging interests.
He immediately recognized that the group of magic gold wizards could bring a huge increase in population to the wizarding world.
The sheer size of the population itself signifies a great deal, and he was well aware that all power in the wizarding world was based on the population.
However, he remained a prominent patriarch of a pure-blood family, an old-fashioned nobleman.
Therefore, when faced with Larvin's suggestion to adopt a more lenient policy, treat magic wizards favorably, and encourage them to spontaneously flock to the British magical world, he decisively rejected it.
"Our opponents are the other Ministries of Magic. If our policies are lenient while the other Ministries of Magic have strict policies, then the number of magic crystal wizards possessed by the other Ministries of Magic will not decrease. In the long run, we will inevitably suffer losses."
"I think we should register all magic wizards, let them live the life of lowly wizards, with labor and work occupying all their time and taming their minds."
Despite being mentally prepared, Larvin still felt physically uncomfortable. He had originally planned to act out an argument, but instead, he slammed his fist on the table.
They argued for four hours straight that day, and every Ministry of Magic employee who passed by the office knew that the two had a major disagreement on the issue of dealing with maggots.
The conflict escalated until all the ministers attending the council intervened to mediate, which finally calmed the situation.
The proposed laws concerning magic wizards also came to nothing.
Crouch gritted his teeth in frustration as he watched his neighboring country achieve great success with its corresponding laws, which fostered a large number of magic wizards.
Since then, in everyone's eyes, Larvin, this hothead, has offended the current number one ranked player, Laukki, by relying on his powerful backer. The two always speak with hostility when they meet.
At the time, they thought Larvin was young and impetuous, and had not experienced the harsh realities of society. Only now do they realize that the reason Larvin didn't take Laukker seriously and would go against his senior, who was theoretically his equal but actually half a rank higher, when they disagreed was simply because his backer was too reliable.
With such a huge fireball hanging high behind Larvin, what do you think Laukki has to offer?
The wind direction can change.
So those who had previously whispered and thought Larvin was irrational and didn't understand the importance of mutual respect for the country are now gossiping about Lorkech behind his back.
