They walked into a large hall and lined up a desk with a crowd on either side, and there was an imperceptible commotion. A maverick standing in the middle of the crowd also stepped forward quickly and bowed to Phoenix.

"Carl Bülow. We're honored to be here for you. Phoenix patted him on the shoulder.

"Carl, you'll be rewarded for your loyalty to the family. With that, he walked to the center of the crowd and glanced at the strangers, dressed in Muggle clothes, their heads slightly bowed, their bodies trembling imperceptibly.

"Are you, Sir Rothschild?" the trembling old man hurriedly bowed, not caring in the slightest that Phoenix had mispronounced his title.

"Tell me, how is Russia doing in your Muggle world?"

"It's very bad, if it weren't for your father asking us to give it a blood transfusion, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago. Now it is suppressed by our blood transfusions and frequent military conflicts, and it will disintegrate at any moment-"

"It's not going to work, it's going to have to endure. Phoenix paced back and forth, "Unlike you, in the wizarding world, Eurasian power is reversed. Given the current situation in the wizarding world, I will not allow a powerful Muggle government to fall at my hands, at least not until the twenty-first century, and of course it is your job. ”

"Please— I beg your pardon for being rude, Your Excellency. A voice said behind him, and he turned to look at him. "I'm the head of the United States, Irene Dupont. Phoenix motioned for him to continue, "You may not know the Muggle world, but now the world is divided into two camps, fighting East and West. The dominant ones are the United States and Russia. We have already taken great risks for Russian blood transfusions, not to mention that their roots are systematic, and economic blood transfusions cannot be saved. ”

Phoenix sat down, opened the bookmarked, and said, "That's going to be difficult, but it's still going to be done, because we have something going on in the wizarding world, and I want Europe and America to maintain their current strength in the Muggle world." If you're only going to make money, then there's no need for you to exist. ”

The two men behind them collapsed directly to the ground.

"You—we can't turn the situation back in any way. Unless they are directly allowed to go to war, but-this-this-"

Karl interrupted Rothschild and said, "Maybe it's a solution, we can mess up the Muggle world." Recently, there has been a lot of movement in Asia in Siberia and Eastern Turkey, and I heard that 100,000 wizards have been assembled. We have a lot of grievances, and now we don't have the ability to call on the coalition. Several people's faces turned pale.

"It's not going to work, at least not right now," Phoenix looked up, looking at the terrified Muggles, "you're scaring our friends." He snapped his fingers, and a glass of red wine appeared in front of everyone, floating at the right height.

"You should look at this. Phoenix motioned for him to come forward, and he glanced at it and jumped away.

"This is not what I should see—" he shook his head, "this is the record of the Supreme Arbitration Council of the International Wizards, and I have no right to know it." ”

"Then I give you the right to read this page. Carl hesitated for a moment, and saw Phoenix looking at him sincerely, before slowly approaching-

In 496, Asian wizard representatives submitted the 'Mongol massacre of Muggles' to the International Council of Wizards, arguing that the country's Wizarding Council was leading the way and that sanctions must be imposed.

Asia was threatened with all-out war, and the conference finally passed a resolution that the Mongolian Wizards Conference was considered an illegal organization, and that all wizards in the region should be expelled from the wizarding world, and that the region must be governed by the Sino-Indian Wizards Conference.

In 1599, a supplementary treaty was signed, and the International School of Wizards was not allowed to admit Mongolian wizards or children with magical talents.

And: In 1689, Mongolia was officially recognized as a 'pure Muggle settlement' and was not part of the wizarding world.

"You see, if we really take drastic measures, especially against Muggles in their area, maybe things will be very bad. There are quite a few people who have been kicked out of the wizarding world because they have angered-"

He glanced at the crowd, who didn't react to Phoenix's words at all, as the Watson and his son used the Imperius Curse to control them.

"--They didn't care a long time ago, Muggles in their own area, but what if it was just an illusion?"

"Then why do you want to maintain the existence of the Russian Muggle government?"

"Because in 1998 there was going to be a new International Wizard Supreme Arbitration Conference, and I just took over the family, and the next country collapsed, what do you think they will think? And that government may have something to do with the International Council of Wizards, otherwise my father wouldn't care so much. I didn't want to threaten Asian wizards, and I don't have that strength at the moment. For now, we need to address the problems of the UK and ourselves first. ”

"I see. That Voldemort—"

"I'm thinking about it, I'm going to think about it. Phoenix said slowly.

"The Elder Wand—"

"There's one question that I think appeals to me more than the Elder Wand. There is a special team, since 1950, the Gringotts headquarters has allocated them an astronomical amount of Galleons every year, and the cumulative amount has now reached nearly one billion Galleons, so what are they doing? Who is in charge?"

"Well, I don't know, I just know that it has to do with the 1894 meeting, and it's the highest priority support department. The person in charge of the direct line doesn't know, and I don't think they have taken a stand?" he asked cautiously.

"That's right. Hopefully next year their head will come. Phoenix didn't ask any more questions, and casually asked them to withdraw their magic.

"You have to do it, and if you succeed, maybe you can go one step further in the future - participate in the management of some of the management systems of the wizarding world, such as the exchange of magical currency and Muggle currency. If we fail, we will have to be like our ancestors, and we will not give it away for no reason. Karl straightened up and said to them coldly.

There was a commotion among them, and several people quickly exchanged glances.

"I have other things to do, and Carl will continue to discuss them with you. Phoenix stood up and whispered in Karl's ear, "If it doesn't work, use the Imperius Charm, the old way sometimes works." ”

After saying that, Phoenix and Watson and his son left.

Back in the living room, everyone was sleepy, especially the ladies. When Mr. Bobin saw Phoenix return, he took Melinda and left, saying goodbye to his friends. They returned to their homes from the fireplace's Floo network.

"How?" Phoenix sat down and kissed Hermione on the cheek, and she read a heavy book, "The Abducted Wizarding World", which was full of different opinions or unsolved mysteries about some history.

"How much money did Philip press? He had just received a letter saying that the money had been transferred to the vault, and he was almost insane. She shifted to leaning against Phoenix.

"Hell knows. Did Melinda and Daphne say anything?"

"Nope. They've been talking about clothing. Why did she get here? I remember you didn't know her well. Hermione said slowly after a while.

"It's no secret that Voldemort is coming back, and I think Professor Dumbledore knows just as well that they're looking for a way out. Phoenix stroked her hair.

"What does that mean?" she shuddered visibly at the hearing of Voldemort's name.

They wanted to join the Death Eaters, but they feared that he would fail. So with a son-in-law like me, he can go abroad - maybe even keep his property. ”

"They're really—" Hermione couldn't find the right adjective for a moment, stuck there.

"Alright, let's go to bed. I still have a few things to attend to. He took out a bundle of letters and read them one by one.

"Well," she stopped as she was about to go upstairs, "and you're now—you know, you're all right?"

Phoenix looked up, smiled and said, "Don't worry. ”
