After Lucius and Draco left, silence returned to the conference room, and Ivan sat alone in front of the fire and pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked.

"Doggett, what do you think?"

The dim fire rose all at once, and the crimson flames coalesced together until they became Doggett's big face, and his deep voice rang out with it.

"Lucius is a man who knows the times, he probably really wants to betray the mysterious man and join us, and the 700,000 Galleons are also very sincere, I think what he said is still worth believing!"

"In addition, Malfoy is one of the most powerful wizarding families in the British wizarding world, and with him joining, some things will be much easier......"

Ivan nodded, counting the Malfoy family, they had already gained the support of nearly forty percent of the powerful in the wizarding world in recent months, and once Fudge fell, the next Minister of Magic would be 100% of their people.

"By the way, who are our candidates?" Ivan asked curiously.

"Pierce Hinkness!" Doggett replied.

"The Executive Director?" Ivan was a little surprised, he had thought Pierce was a die-hard.

"I've been checking for more than a month, and I've found that this old guy is not clean in private, and he is better to deal with than we thought......" Doggett said proudly.

He'd been in contact with two of the most likely candidates for Minister of Magic these days, and Rufus Scrimgeour was as diehard as Ivan had said, stinking and hard like a stone in a pit.

But Executive Director Pierce is different, with cherished family members as weaknesses, and a lot of black materials to dig up, so you don't have to worry too much about betrayal by the other party.

"In that case, let's find a time to come out and meet him, and I will personally put a magic mark on him and accept Mr. Executive Director as one of us." Ivan said noncommittally, compared to some black materials, people who can directly control life and death are more trustworthy.

"I'm sure Sinkenes will be extremely honored...... "Doggett said with a smile, he could naturally guess that Ivan could influence, punish and even kill those who were marked with his magic seal.

However, Doggett was clever enough not to mention this, and instead asked as soon as his words turned. "Are we still going according to our original plan? That Lucius's side ......"

"Of course, at most, it's just a few minor adjustments, and everything else is business as usual! By the time the action begins, Mr. Malfoy will know what he should do! When the time comes, it's not a lie to him to say that we changed our plans on the spot, is it? Ivan said nonchalantly.

"You're really careful...... But yes, if Lucius had just said it, he might not have agreed so much! Doggett shook his head and said with emotion.

"It's always better to be cautious." Ivan waved his hand and spoke. "In case something goes wrong on Lucius's side, Voldemort knows all of our plans, and we're the ones who will be besieged!"

"Even if the Ministry of Magic and the mysterious man join forces, it can't be our opponent......" Doggett muttered to himself, this kid is ridiculously strong, but always surprisingly cautious......

Of the more than 100 people involved, only he and Althea knew what the real plan was, and Flren and Gleeson might have been able to guess some of them, and most of the remaining wizards were in a fog and only knew the part they were responsible for.

According to Ivan's words, even if someone suddenly turns back, it will not affect the overall plan.

"Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?" Ivan asked again.

"Mrs. Ekmo of the Floo Network Authority has taken refuge in us, assuring us that all fireplaces entering and leaving the headquarters will be turned off if necessary! In addition, we also have our people in the Department of Mysteries, and once the operation begins, Pierce will send someone to help us take it there as quickly as possible! ”

Doggett gushed and paused, then added. "According to reliable information, Fudge should have called a meeting of the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic that day, and none of them can escape!"

Ivan nodded, one of the keys to this operation was to capture Fudge and clear out some political enemies as Voldemort by the way.

"What about the Daily Prophet?" Ivan then asked.

After Ivan's words fell, the flames in the fireplace suddenly rose again, and Doggett's big face showed a little angry, but he still gave way slightly, and the phantom the size of the fireplace shrank in a circle, and a phantom with a head appeared next to him again, and it was Gleason!

"Sir Hals, please allow me to report to me myself, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet has returned to his hometown yesterday, and it won't be long before this paper speaks for us......" Gleason said confidently.

"Well done, Gleason, you're moving a lot faster than I thought you would!" Ivan is very satisfied, the Daily Prophet is the most influential newspaper in the wizarding world, and it is also the mouthpiece of the Ministry of Magic, and controlling it is equivalent to mastering the public opinion of the wizarding world!

This is an extremely important part of the whole plan, and it is related to the justice of their operation!

In just five months, Gleason was able to unknowingly handle the Daily Prophet, and his ability was evident, and Ivan was not interested in whether the means used were legal or not.

"When this is over, I'll set up a propaganda department in the Ministry of Magic, Gleason, and you're the first director!" Ivan promised.

"Thank you for your trust, Lord Hals!" Gleason said excitedly, and the fire shook faintly.

"Prepare to act, then, guys!" Ivan stood up and said loudly. "For the future of the wizarding world!"

"For the sake of ...... Tomorrow in the wizarding world! Doggett and Gleason responded in unison, and then the two flame phantoms shattered in an instant.

Ivan waved his hand to extinguish the remaining flames, but looked at the golden fireplace in front of him with some difficulty.

Previously, he had turned the entire fireplace into gold in one fell swoop to deter Lucius, and while it was shocking, it was now a big problem to deal with.

It's not easy to move such a large fireplace.

As for putting it here?

Of course not, it's too eye-catching!

And after consuming so much mana, it can't be wasted!

"I knew I would have done it on the table or the sofa......" Ivan sighed, secretly miscalculated.

Just as Ivan touched his chin and pondered, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a hoarse voice.

"Who...... Who's in the boardroom? ”

"Filch? So unfortunate? Ivan raised an eyebrow and waved his wand to lock the door to the conference room first.

Filch, who was outside the door, quickly walked to the door, pulled the lock with all his might, and shouted loudly. "Hurry out of here, I've got you!"
