In Diagon Alley, a huge fire broke out and burned everything. Thick black smoke rose into the sky and could be seen from a few kilometers away. Some of the taller towers were engulfed in flames and collapsed. Aura rushed to the scene in large numbers. The wind was filled with heatwaves, ashes, collapsing sounds, screams, and chanting …
Many wizards who rushed to the scene saw the floating ships on the roofs of the docks. The fire spread from top to bottom and worried about the damage to the warehouse. The Aura tried their best to cast spells to restore the damaged buildings and prevent the situation from worsening.
Josephine and Sirius stood on a roof that was not affected by the fire and observed the direction of the Fire Dragon.
"Fortunately, it was after work hours when the Fire Dragon was wreaking havoc. No one should have died … Otherwise, the Mystical Creature Control Division would be responsible." Josephine adjusted her wide-brimmed hat and took out a fiery arrow that was painted black from her pouch. "I'll chase after it first. Tell the others to follow."
"Owen must be going after the fairies. You go with him …" Sirius pointed at Owen who was leading the Aura into the Gringotte. "I'll lead the team …" Sirius pursed his lips and mocked softly, "Don't let the Dragon Breath burn a vampire like you …"
"So, it's only been a few days and you think you can beat me?" Josephine raised an eyebrow and extended her slender white fingers.
"Don't. As a lady, you should be reserved!" Sirius said as he pulled out a flaming crossbow. He gave up on persuading Josephine to leave and grumbled, "The wound on my face needs white moss to heal. It's only been a while since I recovered …"
Owen led Lunn and the others into the Gringotte. The Gringotte's original grandeur was gone after the Fire Dragon wreaked havoc. It looked like it had just survived a disaster. The charred floor, collapsed walls, and a large hole in the roof …
The entrance to the underground vault in Gringotte had collapsed due to the Fire Dragon's violent actions. The new director of Aura's office, Albert, personally led the team into the vault. The sprites in the hall were gathered in an empty space. Lunn was personally taking notes of the sprites with his head down with a few of the Law Enforcement Division's strikers.
"Where's the president? The Fire Dragon came out and wreaked havoc in Diagon Alley. Did Gringotte say anything? "Owen asked the fairies as soon as he walked in.
Although the director of the Ministry of Magic's voice wasn't strict, the fairies who stayed in the hall were just normal employees. They couldn't say anything in front of Owen. They couldn't defend Gringotte at all. They didn't know what happened, and many of them were still glad that they survived the disaster.
Just when Owen attracted the attention of the Gringotte wizards and fairies, Lunn stopped taking notes. She slightly adjusted the glasses on her nose and turned her head to the side to point at an empty space.
Victor, who was in stealth mode, immediately took action. Since Gringotts didn't have a leader, and the remaining security forces were all under control, no one discovered that Victor, who was wearing the cloak made by the invisible beast, had infiltrated the security office.
Shortly after, the fairies who were trapped below were freed by Albert and the others and rescued. Although they were covered in dust and scratches, these fairies didn't suffer any serious injuries. Nagenoch was dizzy and disoriented as he was helped out of the hole. His neat suit and white shirt were torn and tattered during the rescue. He looked like a beggar fairy who had been wandering for a long time.
Lunn leaned close to Owen and whispered a few words.
"President Nagenoch, how did you manage Gringotte? How did you let the Fire Dragon come out and wreak havoc?" Owen narrowed his eyes and questioned. "Diagon Alley has suffered a great loss. Not only did it burn a lot of resources, but it also destroyed many ancient buildings in Diagon Alley … Even when the Unknowns were at their strongest, Diagon Alley didn't suffer this much! You should pray to Ravenclaw that no one died! "
The muddle-headed Nagenok was jolted awake by the scolding. At this moment, he finally recognized that the person in front of him was the head of the magic department, Owen Harris, who often appeared on television. Although he felt dizzy and didn't know what was going on with Gringotts, since the other party was so aggressive in denouncing him, he immediately knew that the other party definitely had sufficient evidence.
Pulling Nagenoch's arm, Nagenoch looked at Owen with hostility and resentment in his heart. The Dark Lord obviously couldn't deal with Harris, but he was still so crazy. He was even more temperamental than the rumors said. He had agreed to cooperate, but he still let the Fire Dragon destroy Gringotte.
Pulling Ring despaired that his compatriots had placed their hopes on this lunatic who couldn't deal with Harris. The Minister of the Ministry of Magic obviously wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Harris Bank's competitors and take revenge on Gringotte. Just like what they had been doing for a while, Pulling Ring began to blame the wizards. He felt that they had caused his compatriots to make such a desperate decision.
"President Nagenoch, please explain what happened to Gringotte?" Lunn put away his pen and stood up. He glanced at the undamaged surveillance cameras in the lobby and demanded, "Did Gringotte install surveillance cameras? I think the Ministry of Magic needs to check today's surveillance footage. Please cooperate with our investigation. "
"Gringotte has the responsibility to keep all the secrets of the wizards who come here to do business. This involves the privacy of our customers, so I'm sorry that we can't provide any information. We don't need to do this. Gringotte is fully responsible for this incident." Nagenoch immediately admitted all the responsibility. He then added, "Minister Harris, the Fire Dragon we raised to guard the vault went crazy. We're sorry that this happened. We'll compensate for today's losses. If there are any casualties, I'm willing to bear the legal responsibility."
"Tab, bring some people to calculate the losses we've caused internally." Nagenoch didn't wait for the Ministry of Magic's response and immediately ordered the fairies who were covered in dirt. He pointed at a few of them and said, "Bogrod, you guys go and calculate the losses in Diagon Alley. Don't be careless about what we're responsible for."
The other higher-ups of the fairies also reacted. The fact that The Dark Lord brought Bella into the vault must not be discovered by the magic world. Otherwise, it would immediately confirm that the soul vessel of the Dark Lord was indeed hidden in Gringotte's vault, just as Harris had said. Gringotte's actions were not only harmful to the magic world as Harris had declared, but it was also harmful to the magic world.
Moreover, the video of the vault's security being unable to withstand a single blow from the Dark Lord was leaked. This would further damage Gringotte's reputation in the hearts of the wizards. In England, Gringotte was no longer a match for the Wizard's Bank on the floating city. They couldn't let other countries lose more confidence in Gringotte.
The fairies had already received some news that the Ministry of Magic of other countries had seen the benefits of England's economic control and wanted to imitate them. This was also the reason why the fairies were so anxious.
Tab and the others, who had obviously understood, nodded heavily and quickly dispersed. The Ministry of Magic obviously had no reason to obstruct the fairies who were so willing to admit their guilt and take responsibility.
In fact, as soon as they left the sight of the wizards, Tab quickly went to the surveillance room. He understood the president's intention. They had to destroy the surveillance footage as soon as possible and not give the Ministry of Magic an opportunity to take advantage of them. There were also some sprites who split up to look for the few wizard employees who saw the Black Devil King in the underground vault. They used the threat of losing their jobs and large amounts of gold coins as a lure to seal their mouths with an unbreakable oath.
