Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 632

c630 Feint

“Yes! Counterattack! Kill all these scoundrels!”

Franklin shouted excitedly, but Arthur’s face didn’t look good when he heard this.

He lowered his head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said:

“Mike, I don’t suggest what you do.”

Victor and Franklin were stunned as soon as these words came out, and even Mike couldn’t help but look towards Arthur.

“If we don’t counterattack, we will suffer a total loss this time. The ransom of those prisoners alone cannot make up for our losses.”

Mike’s words made Franklin react and nodded repeatedly.

He was also in favor of counterattack, but he didn’t think as deeply as Mike thought. He just felt that he should beat the drowned dog and pursue the victory.

“But you also have to consider the current state of the soldiers. Their situation is very bad! In this state, their combat effectiveness has been reduced to ten percent, and it is very dangerous to pursue them rashly! Mike, listen to my advice, don’t try To challenge the world, we are not qualified now!”

Arthur was so excited that his voice was a little loud.

Everyone else at the scene cast worried looks at him, because openly refuting Mike, the leader, in front of everyone was not something a subordinate should do.

However, instead of being angry, Mike laughed when he heard this.

“You misunderstood me, Arthur, I didn’t want to challenge the whole world.” Mike said with a smile, “I am very aware of everyone’s current state, but the pursuit must be pursued, but I did not say that we would really fight. We All you need to do is feint, and only then will those cunning guys spit out the benefits honestly.”

Having said this, Mike paused, turned to look at Victor who was still in an excited state, and then continued:

“What’s more, we still have Victor. We don’t even have to send many people out. It’s enough to let the mechanical soldiers approach their border and put pressure on them.”

Hearing this, Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the combat force commander of the Los Santos Group and even the entire Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China, no one is more aware of the current dire situation than he is, and no one is more concerned about the life and death of these subordinates.

Although the Ministry of Magic that attacked them was defeated this time, their vitality was not damaged. Even the Magical Congress of the United States, which suffered the most serious losses, still retained some of its vitality.

It would be okay if Mike didn’t order the pursuit, if Mike insisted on ordering the pursuit.

So with the current state of the Los Santos wizards and the Aurors of the country, there is a high probability that they will come back defeated, or even suffer heavy casualties!

This was something Arthur had never seen before.

At this time, Victor on the side heard Mike calling him and woke up from his excited fantasy state.

He forced his way into the crowd and said with a dissatisfied look on his face:

“Don’t say that! My battle robots are very strong. They are designed to beat those guys to pieces.”

Victor was sure, but no one at the scene took his words seriously.

After all, the so-called combat robot is now in front of everyone. It would be too much for you to continue to talk about how powerful such a simple thing can be.

But what Victor said is still quite funny.

Hearing this, everyone was amused by him, and the tense atmosphere at the scene was suddenly relieved.

Upon seeing this, Victor ran off to sulk alone, while Arthur and others, after laughing for a while, hurriedly led his men to prepare for the pursuit.

After all, although this time it was just a feint attack, we still had to be careful not to encounter the stupid young man and start a direct war.

The rest of the Ministry of Magic are not fools either. If they are really exposed by Leng Touqing, then they will definitely see through Mike’s feint plan.

The income that can be obtained by then cannot be guaranteed.

After Arthur and the others all left, Penello arrived belatedly, along with Soraka and other healers.

Seeing this huge group of people, even Mike was a little panicked.

You must know that he ran out of the ward secretly, and Penello would definitely blame him for this behavior.

The most important thing was that he felt that his wounds were getting worse due to this attack. It would be difficult for Soraka to undergo another surgery.

But when things came to an end, he had no room for maneuver.

In desperation, Mike could only stand up straight and face Penello and the others as if nothing had happened.

To be honest, he was ready to be taught a lesson by Penelo.

But what surprised him was that Penello didn’t say anything, but cried and threw himself directly into Mike’s arms.

Although the other party used a lot of force and made Mike’s wound hurt for a while, Mike still felt extremely happy.

He patted Penello’s back gently, comforting his girlfriend in his arms, but his eyes couldn’t help but glance at Soraka.

Because the other party’s eyes were flashing purple light, which was obviously using some kind of magic spell to check his body.

After waiting stiffly for a long time, the purple light in Soraka’s eyes gradually dimmed.

She rubbed her eyebrows and said in a somewhat pityful tone:

“The wound has a tendency to get worse, but the extent is still acceptable. No surgery is needed. Just go back to bed and lie down for a week.”

As soon as these words came out, both Mike and Penello breathed a sigh of relief. As for Soraka’s tone of voice, they were completely ignored.

“Go back and have a good rest. Don’t run out again.” Penello looked up at Mike and said, “We will take care of the next thing. Your task now is to take good care of yourself.”

Hearing this, the expression on Mike’s face was a little strange.

If possible, he really wanted to retort to Penelo.

After all, it was him who took action to solve the problem this time. Penelo now says that they can do it, but in Mike’s opinion, they are far from good.

However, Mike was obviously not stupid enough to tell the truth at this time. Hearing this, he tilted his head and hinted:

“This operation is about the final profit we can get, which is very important. Moreover, this is the end. I think I may be able to continue to persist.”

Penello clearly understood the meaning of Mike’s words. Her two beautiful eyebrows were tangled together in an instant. Then she got out of Mike’s arms, stood up straight and said seriously:

“Mike, don’t carry everything on your shoulders, otherwise you will be exhausted. Also, don’t you usually like to be the hands-off shopkeeper? What if you do it again this time?”

“This time is different…”

“Please trust us once, we will get things done, I promise!”

“Oh well.”

Looking at Penello’s serious expression, Mike finally relented.

When he thought about it, verbally agreeing to something like this wasn’t a big deal.

Anyway, he can also use Victor to control the situation remotely in the ward. If something unexpected happens, he can correct it in time.

Ever since, accompanied by a kind of therapist, Mike returned to the familiar ward again.

Due to unrecovered old injuries and excessive exertion, Mike soon fell into a dream.

After Mike fell asleep completely, the expression on Penello’s face became serious again.

She originally planned not to rely on Mike for this matter, so she deliberately hid it from Mike.

After all, Mike was injured now, and they couldn’t rely on Mike for everything.

For this reason, she has even thought of an effective plan. Penelo ordered the preliminary production of Victor’s combat robots. Otherwise, there would be a thousand sets. With Victor’s character, he can build one set. The finished product will be great to play with.

If they followed her plan, they would be able to support Mike until he recovered from his injury, not to mention winning the battle.

But someone secretly told Mike the situation on the front line.

Apparently, there were people within the Freemasons who didn’t want to believe her.

This person might be Franklin, or Benjamin, or Arthur, or… all of them.

Regarding this point, Penelo does not want to delve into it, because she will seize this opportunity to let these people understand that she is also a reliable administrator!

Thinking this, Penello raised his head slightly and walked toward the teleportation hall with long strides.

Behind her were a dozen guards.

But I don’t know whether it was because they were frightened by Penello’s unusual momentum or something else, but these people deliberately kept a distance from Penello and did not dare to get close at all.

…

“Um……”

In the ward, Mike slowly opened his eyes.

He cleared his dry throat, and just as he was about to pour a glass of water from the clear spring water to drink, a mug came to his mouth.

Mike took a closer look and realized that Penello was still by his side.

But now Penello has become much more haggard, his lips are white, his face is swollen, and he is still wearing the same clothes he wore before falling asleep.

It was obvious that Penello had been awake the whole time.

After taking a few sips from the water glass, Mike said:

“How long have I been asleep?”

Penello: “Two days.”

Mike: “You haven’t slept?”

Penello: “…”

Looking at Penello who lowered his head and said nothing, Mike sighed and said nothing. He just reached out and touched Penello’s hair and said slowly:

“Thanks for your hard work.”

Mike originally thought that Penello would fall into his arms as usual, just like a normal little woman.

But what surprised him was that Penello raised his head after hearing this and said with a smile:

“It is indeed quite hard, but fortunately there are also many rewards.”

“oh?”

Mike became energetic and sat up from the bed.

Seeing this, the smile on Penello’s face became even stronger. She twisted her body and continued:

“Our enemies are far weaker than we thought. Benjamin, Arthur and Franklin took people to their borders according to your instructions, and then I sent a warning letter to the Ministry of Magic, asking them to go to war. Reparations. Then, they agreed.”

“Really?”

“Of course! However, the detailed terms of the compensation agreement still need to be negotiated by the Ministry of Magic of the United States, which requires you to preside over.” Penello said with a smile, “Because you are still asleep, this matter has been postponed. . Now that you’re awake, it’s time for me to inform them.”

After saying that, Penello leaned over and kissed Mike before walking quickly towards the door.

Mike on the hospital bed looked at Penello’s back with a somewhat distressed expression on his face.

Piqueli and the others are as timid as mice? As soon as Arthur and his army arrived on the opposite side, they all surrendered?

How can this be!

Mike has personally interacted with these guys, and they can be said to be a pack of hyenas!

Especially Piqueli is the leader among the hyenas!

Although Penello said it very lightly, Mike knew that there must be many difficult processes that were hidden.

Shaking his head, Mike called Victor.

This guy may have thought that he was scared after being shut down before, but now he is still in a state of ingratiating himself with Mike’s words.

Others might not dare to tell the truth to Mike because of Penelo’s wishes, but Victor would definitely not.

After listening to what Victor said about the past two days, Mike discovered that Penelo’s situation in the past two days was far worse than he imagined.

The main reason for this bad situation is not external enemies like Piqueli, but from within.

In short, many people within the Ministry of Magic and the Los Santos Group are very dissatisfied with Penelo’s ability to temporarily exercise power on Mike’s behalf!

Of course, Arthur and others are not included.

Like Mike and Penelo, they are all Freemasons who have sworn the ‘Unforgivable Oath’. Even if they are dissatisfied, they will not express it directly, let alone take action.

The guys mentioned above are all Muggle wizard elites who were entrusted with important responsibilities in the early and middle stages of the Los Santos Group.

These people caused many obstacles for Penello in this operation.

Moreover, the heat was controlled very well, so that it did not affect the outcome of the business, but at the same time made Penello extremely uncomfortable.

This is actually not surprising. In the final analysis, the wizarding world is still a world where strength is respected. Without enough hard power, it is almost impossible to reach a high position here.

Especially in this war period, the importance of strength has been infinitely magnified.

And although Penelo has been helping Mike with government affairs before, to be honest, Penelo has always played the role of silent dedication, and dealt with some important but trivial matters. This makes her presence not strong.

Even now, there are still many people in the Ministry of Magic and the Los Santos Group who don’t know about Penelo’s existence.

Just imagine, a boss’s wife who is not strong enough and not well-known suddenly declares that she will be in charge of everything temporarily when the boss is physically handicapped.

What would you think?

Mike closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. This matter could not be forgotten like this.

Although those who secretly set off the trap may not be punished by death, they must be punished.

Mike forgot about time when he thought about it, and it wasn’t until Penello opened the door again that he opened his eyes.

“Mike! I have already told them that a meeting will be held on time at the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China at two o’clock this afternoon!”

Penello said excitedly, with two unhealthy flushes on his face.

Seeing this, Mike’s heart twitched again.

He forced out a smile and said:

“Thanks for your hard work.”
