"In this incident, the other party's goal is very clear, which is to rescue the smuggling king, Henry Jones." Jones! "Leonard said confidently.
"Letting those mystical creatures go, on the one hand, can confuse us and make it easier for them to break into the execution room. On the other hand, they are also venting their dissatisfaction, causing trouble for our Congress and diverting our attention." Although Knox was in a low position, he dared to express his opinion.
"Leonard? Knox, it's not your turn to speak. Don't forget, you are no longer an Aura! "A short, fat, round-faced wizard jumped out and accused Leonard.
"But I am the one who knows the ins and outs of this matter the best. I have the responsibility to tell the chairman what I have seen and understood." Leonard tried hard to restrain himself so that he would not jump out and flatten the hateful face opposite him!
"It's because of your mistake that Henry slipped away from England and came to America!" The round-faced wizard revealed a disdainful smile.
"Nonsense! Someone revealed our plan, which led to our failure! "Leonard's brows furrowed tightly. He clenched his fists and slammed them heavily on the table.
The round-faced wizard wanted to continue mocking Leonard but was interrupted by Chairman Piquelli.
"Enough, Rocca! No matter what the reason is, there are three things that we can be sure of: First, we must capture Henry Jones. Second, we must use all means to capture the escaping mystical creatures. Third, we must control the situation. Once we are exposed, it will inevitably lead to a war! "
Chairman Piquelli's gaze was firm. A holographic map of New York City suddenly appeared and floated in the air. Lights constantly lit up, showing the areas where magic activities were concentrated.
Chairman Piquelli surrounded the map and scrutinized it carefully. "It's unprecedentedly active! We must act immediately! Act according to the Congress's second plan to prevent exposure! "
"Yes!" An orderly voice sounded, showing the determination of the Aura. Under Chairman Piquelli's command, the Aura immediately used Phantom Translocation.
"Knox, please stay." Leonard also wanted to leave but was stopped by Chairman Piquelli.
"Chairman?" Leonard stopped and looked at Chairman Piquelli in confusion.
"The low point is only temporary. In this operation, if there is one person who can be trusted, it must be you." Piquelli patted Leonard's shoulder.
"Because letting Henry go and letting the magical creatures escape is the most disadvantageous for you. You could have regained your identity as an Aura, or even become the director of the Aura Division, but this sudden prison break will extend your term of office indefinitely! "
Piquelli walked back to the holographic map and said gravely, "As you said, there is a traitor in our ranks. At present, I trust you the most. Now, I want to assign you a task alone. "
Piquelli turned and stared hard into Leonard's eyes. "Operation Clearinghouse. Find the traitor in the team and restore order in the parliament! "
"Yes!" Leonard's expression was solemn, but he was inexplicably excited. He was like a newbie who had just joined.
Professor Fleevy and Allen returned to the vicinity of Congress. Everything was normal.
The Aura continued to cast the Restoration Spell. The buildings and cars were restored to their original state, and the streets returned to normal.
The bad memories of the Muggles were erased, and everyone went about their own business as usual, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
"Hey, Filius!" Leonard walked out of the restored Woolworth building and saw Professor Fleevy and Allen at a glance.
"Great, you're fine!" Professor Fleevy grinned and kicked Leonard who was trying to lift him up.
Allen felt that the way these two people greeted each other was really unique and could not help but laugh.
"Now, your parliament must be very busy. How about —" Before Professor Fleevy could finish, the impatient Leonard interrupted him.
"You can go to my house first. We still have an emergency operation. I'll tell you the address. Jessica should be at home. She's a good girl. She can entertain you for me! "
As he spoke, Leonard told Allen and the others the address. Then, he hurriedly used Phantom Shift and left.
Professor Fleevy used the same trick and summoned the magic cursor. The two of them followed the cursor and moved forward quickly.
Night had fallen, and the sky was gloomy as if there was a possibility of a snowstorm at any time.
Professor Fleevy and Allen hurried on. Since they could not confirm the location given by Leonard, they did not dare to use Phantom Transference at will.
The faces of the passersby under the street lights aroused Allen's imagination.
These people made him feel that he would never be able to walk out of this bustling city environment.
He looked at the houses beside him and wondered what kind of show was going on behind the softly lit windows.
These soft lights made him miss Mrs. Harris's delicious food, his warm bedroom, and his family.
In the darkness, gusts of cold wind blew in his face. It was already very late. Professor Fleevy took out his magic wand and used a fluorescent spell to illuminate the road ahead.
Just when Allen was feeling very desolate, a double-decker bus with flashing lights suddenly arrived in the darkness.
The door of the bus opened, and a young wizard in a bronze uniform made an inviting gesture and said politely, "Gentlemen, please get on the bus. Where are you going?"
Professor Flick gave the address to the man. "Thirty silver coins for two people. If you are willing to pay an extra three silver coins each, we can provide hot water and chocolate!" The conductor reported the amount needed to be paid for the ride neatly.
Professor Fleevy took out his wallet and stopped Allen from paying. He took out thirty-six silver coins and handed them to the conductor.
There were no seats in the bus. Beside the window with the curtains drawn, there were six or seven beds with brass frames.
Allen and Professor Fleevy chose the beds next to each other and then sat down on their own bed.
Very soon, the double-decker bus shuttled forward in the snowstorm at an astonishing speed, as if it was flying, passing through clean and tidy streets and houses.
Alan simply let himself fall on the bed, and with the violent movement of the bus, he moved up and down.
After about half an hour, the double-decker bus made a big turn and stopped at the side of a long and wide road. The door opened with a whoosh.
The conductor nudged Allen and said, "Sir, we're here."
Before Allen and Professor Fleevy could steady their feet on the road, the double-decker bus had made a 180-degree turn and swayed back along its original route.
In the white snow, a small villa by the roadside was brightly lit.
