Chapter 565: Silver Hand Branch, Show Favor

Multiple sisters didn't have much of an impact on John.

He didn't do anything for the past three days.

In addition to repairing a cabinet, letters had to be opened.

"France?"

John stared at the letter from the French Minister of Magic.

His original plan was to open a branch in France, but if it wasn't for the calculation of the Grim Reaper's turtle grandson, his branches would have been opened.

However, this time of travel is not all without benefits.

His hair turned black again, and his eyesight was restored.

"What the hell is that dimension?"

John touched his chin and recalled the dark dimension.

That place is simply a paradise for itself.

However, this kind of thing across dimensions is something that others can't encounter once in their lives, and John can only secretly feel sorry for himself.

At that time, there was a white wolf threatening him, and that thing was a catastrophe that would destroy the world.

Not to mention John, even the witcher world can't afford it.

"Charles Rowland, since he has kindly invited, then I should accept the kindness."

John rubbed his finger over the ring, and the invitation of the French Ministry of Magic must have required some concessions.

"It seems that Delacour and some others have done a lot in this matter, and I should repay the favor."

Charles Roland, the soon-to-be-outgoing Minister of Magic, is naturally not so capable, and the Delacul family and Ms. Maxim have secretly helped.

Delacour is destined to be on a ship because of John's relationship with them.

Lady Maxime, apart from John's study there, and more importantly, John was a disciple of Nicol Lemay.

Speaking of orthodoxy, John is a disciple of the legendary French alchemist, and he can also be regarded as half French magical orthodoxy.

"The situation in the United States is stable, and the next step is to start developing influence in Europe."

John pondered, opening the other envelope.

"On the German side, Ludwig is willing to help, and is dealing with the Ministry of Magic."

"It's also one of the most troublesome places, where Grindelwald's main forces are entrenched."

The road is one step at a time, and John is ready to start with France.

"Heinrich and Kim should start their journey to France, right?"

John thought about letting Heinrich go back to school, and now Durmstrang has the surname Edgar, which is a simple request.

But Heinrich was reluctant to go back to school, and with his magical skills, he could already graduate from school.

That's up to him.

The fact that two dropouts went to France to prepare to open a branch was also cultivated by John in this matter.

Heinrich will not say anything, he is John's deputy.

Kim was already very talented in these things, and he had dealt with all kinds of things in the American branch.

John's arrangement was for Kim to be in charge of the silver shops in various countries.

If the trip to France is complete, Kim will stay there for a while.

Like the United States, John was ready to install his own people everywhere.

Closing the letter from France, John muttered to himself, "Since Minister Roland has an interest in cooperating, I don't mind letting others see the benefits of working with me."

He picked up a quill and wrote on parchment.

Handing the written invitation to Riddle, John took out the dried fish and fed it to him, saying, "Give it to Charles Roland, if there is a guy who can't open his eyes, you will peck him."

Riddle nodded.

When Basil heard that he could peck someone, his eyes lit up, and he came over with his head held high.

"Forget it, the last time you beat up the owl in Old Barty's house, it was my reimbursement for medical expenses."

John wordlessly poked Basil in the head.

The domineering personality of this owl doesn't know who to follow.

Basil not

Shuang slapped John's hand away with his wings, and turned his head to see Kiki secretly pulling open the drawer, preparing to steal the dried fish.

Kiki's body stiffened.

Oops, is it heartbeat?

No, it's a myocardial infarction.

The owl's feathers flew wildly, and John turned his head away as if he hadn't seen anything.

Kiki was choked by one of Basil's claws by the throat of Fate, holding him down and stepping on the table.

Basil stepped on Qiqi and was domineering.

The wings came to the big head one after the other, knocking Kiki into a star.

After Tom, the second unlucky guy who is bullied by Basil appears.

Tom said, "It has nothing to do with me."

At this moment, Tom was lying on the floor, and Ariana, who had changed into a girl's casual dress, tentatively tapped her finger on its stomach.

Tom grinned doggedly and his tongue drooped, much to Ariana's amusement.

...

Silver Hand Manor.

John entertains Old Barty.

"You should try this, a drink from the Muggle world."

The bubbling glass bottle of Coke was handed to Old Barty, who looked at John suspiciously.

This black, bubbling thing looks like it's poisonous.

He took a tentative sip, bubbles dancing in his mouth, and he frowned so that he didn't spit it out.

"Muggle stuff is getting weirder." Barty Sr. said.

From a Muggle point of view, wizarding things are much more eccentric than weird.

John was noncommittal, casually saying, "My parents bought quite a few."

"I almost forgot, your parents were Muggles."

When he said this, old Barty wanted to say something and stopped.

He wondered why Muggles were more skilled at killing dark creatures than wizards, and who Muggles were riding fire dragons to revelry.

Not even wizards dared to do that.

"Johnny's new store in France?"

"What? You want to warn me?" John chuckled and made a joke that was not too serious, "The Silver Hand cannot develop in just one country."

"Of course not, Charles Rowland has a relationship with me, and he's a full politician," Barty Sr. said, ignoring the joke, "and he wants to make his tenure a little longer with your involvement."

"Men are greedy, and so are they."

Charles Rolland rose to power by political means, and the disadvantage of doing so was that he was extraordinarily mediocre.

Without enough political achievements, he could easily be ousted from power.

"He came to me last year and asked about you," Barty Sr. picked up the Coke and took a sip of it, frowning and putting it down, "He has been paying attention to you for a long time, and he is also a man who knows how to see the wind and steer the rudder."

"See the wind and rudder? Then he should know who is right to follow."

John smiled, this kind of person is the best person to control, although it is annoying.

"He's willing to make concessions to me to let the silver hand in," John said, holding his teacup, "and I'm willing to make his tenure a little longer."

"You've not changed, and I'm glad you're still in school."

Old Barty stared at John's cup, do you have tea and give me this?

Don't you know that tea is the symbol of the British?

Even the English wizards are the same.

John took a sip, naturally hearing the meaning of old Barty's words.

"Ordinary is not a good wish, old Barty."

They talk about the amusement park, a project led by the Silver Hand and sponsored by the Ministry of Magic.

"It's a good opportunity, isn't it," John said, putting down his teacup, "for the Ministries of Magic to see this project and promote tourism."

Let everyone see the benefits created by the silver hand, so that they can let go of their vigilance against the silver hand.

Old Barty looked at John and said in a deep voice, "Set up an amusement park near the werewolf community

It's a risky thing to do."

"Only when more people see werewolves can we gradually turn them into humans."

John said meaningfully, "Werewolves are not a small number in the world."

Old Barty has the help of the werewolf community behind his ascendancy, and he is also the one who wants the werewolf status to be improved the most.

Hearing this, he muttered for a while and said, "In my last proposal, I changed the name of the Werewolf Capture Unit and established an Office for Werewolf Affairs."

"If they guarantee that the amusement park is foolproof and that no werewolves will cause trouble, the Ministry of Magic Council will put them in charge of werewolf affairs."

This is equivalent to asking the Ministry of Magic to return the autonomy of the werewolves to the werewolves, which plays a major role in the improvement of the status of the werewolves.

Werewolves hurting people and other things will be handled through werewolf audits.

Wizards are also not free to kill werewolves, and they are no longer charged with killing magical creatures.

John was very satisfied with this result, compared to the werewolves of the past, the werewolves now have more power, and it is more beneficial to both Barty and John.

"They'll do it."

...
