The only thing that relieved Ivan was that he had modified Nott's memories before, and in the past two years, the other party had been under close surveillance and did not have access to those important information.

"Let Flunga send men to find out Nott as soon as possible." Ivan commanded.

Dobby nodded, jotted down the order, and then, as if remembering something, told Lucius Malfoy about transporting a million Galleons to the vault in Tumbledown Alley over three days.

"A million Galleons? Isn't it 700,000? Ivan paused, rather surprised.

"Mr. Malfoy said that the extra 300,000 Galleons were ...... his friends as a sign of goodwill," Dobby explained.

Ivan now understood, it seems that these pure-blood wizards are quite acquainted......

With so much savings all of a sudden, Ivan's depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

Although money is not everything, it is definitely enough to solve the vast majority of troubles that are usually encountered.

For example, in the upcoming Wizarding War, the original advance preparation, post-war pension, and follow-up management costs were all big problems, but now they have all been solved.

"Tell Lucius that when this operation is over, I will help them remove the Dark Devil Mark from their bodies." Ivan thought for a moment and said promisedly.

This should be the reward that the former Death Eaters want most.

After all, once the betrayal is revealed, the Dark Devil mark on his body will immediately turn into a time bomb, and Voldemort can easily locate them through the mark, find and kill them.

"Yes, sir!"

Dobby, who received the command, snapped his fingers and disappeared in place.

……

Time passed, and the day before Halloween, Ivan received a secret message from Lucius that Voldemort would launch a surprise attack tomorrow at eleven o'clock at noon, when the Aurors were changing shifts.

They were moving at nine o'clock in the morning, two hours earlier, and by the time Voldemort arrived in a hurry, he had done everything.

In fact, Ivan would have liked to have done it earlier, so it would have been safer, but the officials of the Ministry of Magic usually don't start work until nine o'clock, and if they act too early, the Ministry of Magic may not even open the door!

"It's a pity that Halloween is not a holiday, and it looks like I have to skip class for a day." Ivan glanced at the class schedule and said with emotion that as a good student who abides by the law, it is the first time for him to skip class.

……

On Halloween, thinking that he wanted to send a Halloween surprise to the Minister of Magic, Ivan got up early in the morning, and after a hurried breakfast, he left Hogwarts Castle unnoticed.

Half a year later, the wizarding market, which was destroyed by the Great War, has been renovated and is no longer as dilapidated as before.

By the time Ivan arrived, the more than a hundred wizards involved in the operation were already waiting in line.

"Lord Hals!" Seeing Ivan's figure appear on the high platform out of thin air, Doggett and others, who were anxiously waiting, hurriedly greeted him.

"Are the personnel arranged? Doggett? Ivan asked.

"There are one hundred and seventy-three wizards in total, except for the thirteen who were brought into the Ministry of Magic by Pierce, the others are already here." Doggett said excitedly.

"Good!" Ivan nodded in satisfaction and continued. "According to the previous plan, you and Fren will lead one hundred and twenty people to lurk near the headquarters, and when I deal with those Aurors, you will meet with the Executive Director and come in together."

Doggett and Frenliso answered, a plan they had rehearsed in their minds several times, and knew exactly what they were to do.

As he spoke, Ivan turned to look at Althea again. "Mom, you take fifteen law enforcers to deal with it to prevent any fish from escaping ......"

Counter missions are the least dangerous of all operations, and will only appear as a backup support force when necessary.

After arranging the tasks of most of the people, Ivan's expression became a little more solemn, and he looked at the last twenty-five wizards and spoke.

"Lucius, McNeill, Goyle, Crabbe, you and the rest follow me!"

"We need to accomplish the most dangerous task in the whole plan, and if anyone dies in battle, I promise you that you will settle your family and pay a pension of ten thousand Galleons!" Ivan looked around at the wizards below and added solemnly.

Ten thousand Galleons?

The wizards present were all amazed, for ordinary wizards, ten thousand Galleons is definitely an unimaginable number, and they may not be able to save so much money without eating or drinking for more than ten years!

However, most of the people involved in the operation also know that this is a lot of money!

Since they are standing here, they are ready to die!

Lucius and Goyle, who didn't know the truth, glanced at each other and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before they could ask, Ivan took the lead in speaking.

"There may be some of you who don't know the specifics of the mission, so I'll repeat it!

From now on, you will be a Death Eater, and you will follow the Dark Lord to Azkaban to rescue the imprisoned colleagues, and then gather together to attack the Ministry of Magic......"

"What? Attack the Ministry of Magic?! Lucius Malfoy was stunned, and Gibbon, Crabbe, and Goyle were stunned.

"Wait...... Lord Hals, this is not the same as saying yes! Lucius Malfoy asked eagerly.

Previously, their mission was only to save people and then make a big fuss in the wizarding world, and to swear that the Dark Lord would return.

The risks are there, but they are still within acceptable limits.

However, the situation is completely different now, and they need to directly confront the official forces!

Just their twenty-five wizards, plus the seventy-one Death Eaters who had been imprisoned for more than ten years and had little strength left, to attack the Ministry of Magic, which was garrisoned by more than a hundred Aurors and more than two hundred clerks on duty?

This is simply crazy, what is the difference between going to death and going to die? Even if he survives, he will face a wanted notice from the Ministry of Magic!

Lucius Malfoy's anger welled up in his heart, but when he really met Ivan's cold gaze, all the courage that rose in his heart disappeared, leaving only boundless fear......

McNeil, who was on the side, stood up at the right time, grabbed Lucius, and said with annoyance. "This is an oversight on my part, Malfoy, Lord Hals revised the whole plan the other day, and I should have informed you in time."

Lucius stared at McNeil fiercely, opening his mouth to curse, but in the end he couldn't say it.

Because he knew very well that the plan for the Ministry of Magic could never be made in a few days, which meant that he was kept in the dark from beginning to end, and McNeil was at best the blame.

What makes Lucius feel even more helpless is that even if he wants to regret it now, it will be too late, and he can only go all the way to the dark.

After betraying the Dark Lord, he has no way out, not to mention that his son Draco is still in school, and life and death are only in the other party's thoughts.

Seeing that Lucius had finally calmed down, Ivan spoke comfortably.

"Don't worry, Lucius, I have no intention of sending people to death! I'll take care of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic myself, and your mission isn't focused on fighting the guards......

Instead, when the Ministry of Magic was completely defeated and Pierce arrived with reinforcements, he cooperated with McNeill to 'rebel' against the Dark Lord as a spy and attacked the Death Eaters...... Leave them all in the Ministry of Magic! ”
