Chapter 529: We have to use brain patching to defeat the brain patching! (2 in 1)

High risk often means high returns, and Rozier knows this well.

What's more, Ivan's strength, potential and wisdom are all in his eyes. This is a business that makes a profit without losing money. It is impossible to repeat the same mistakes!

"With these things, let's go back..."

Ivan didn't know the old Rozier's thoughts. After feeling distressed for the disappeared Jin Jialong, he ordered the wizards who came with him to empty out the money and belongings here and prepare to return to the Bojinbok shop.

Before leaving, Ivan deliberately left a few people here for them to stay here temporarily, and by the way repair the damaged walls of tables and chairs.

This underground secret room is very large, with complete supporting facilities, and very secretive. It is very suitable as a backup base!

By the time Ivan returned to the Bogimbok shop with the wizards who had returned with loads of loads, the sky was already dark.

Ivan gave a speech outside the store in high spirits, commending those who fought bravely in the battle.

Every wizard who participated in the battle was very happy, not only because they had just won a big victory, and no one died.

More importantly, Ivan generously gave them a bonus to celebrate this victory, and the wizards who were injured in the battle received additional subsidies.

No matter how much Ivan feels distressed about the cost, there will be no ambiguity about this. They risked death to win this victory and deserve the corresponding reward!

After finishing his speech at Ivan and disbanding the crowd gathered here, Fren walked up quickly and handed over a list and a thick book.

"Your Excellency Hals, this is the list of the prisoners in this battle, and we found a ledger from the financial room!" Fren said.

Ivan nodded, took the two things, and glanced at the list before reading the ledger.

While recording the names and general information of the captured persons, it also recorded the enemies killed in the battle.

Excluding a few pure-blood wizards, there were a total of 29 guards in the wizard market and underground secret rooms. Eleven of them died. The others were arrested or simply surrendered...

"Why have so many people been arrested?" Seeing this, Ivan turned his head to look at Fren, and asked strangely.

Although he hopes to reduce the killings, he also understands that death in such a fierce battle is inevitable, and it shouldn't happen that most of the enemy's personnel are captured.

"Except for the law enforcement officers, the other guards were temporarily recruited by the Wizard Market with money and have no loyalty to the Knot family.

When we went in, some guards didn't even think we could resist, so they dropped their wands and surrendered..." Fren explained.

The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched, and he said that he led a group of untrained wizards into the wizarding market so easily. No one died. It turned out that the enemy was even more useless...

"Your Excellency Hals, what do these prisoners do? They seem to want to take refuge in us..." Fren asked hesitantly.

Ivan hesitated, preparing to use the Forgetting Curse to wash away the memories of these people for a while, and then let them go.

After all, he doesn't need so many manpower, and it's hard to get rid of them all, let alone stay in jail and eat plain rice!

However, Ivan quickly rejected this idea. Most of the captured prisoners were dark wizards from Knockout Alley. When the Knot family recruited people, they would not necessarily be screened like Esiah.

This means that among those people, there may be extremely vicious thugs, and if they are let out like this, they will disrupt the public order of Knockturn Alley, and they will need to be managed by themselves at that time.

"Be detained first, and send someone to see if they don't let people run away. I will cross-examine them one by one. I need to know all their details and use Veritaserum if necessary!" Ivan said to Fren.

He decided to check. Those thugs didn't need to be alive anymore. Others would consider whether to let them go according to the situation.

"By the way, those pure-blood wizards remember to find another place to imprison them, especially that Knott needs to be locked up alone, understand?" Ivan suddenly remembered the old Rozier's proposal and added.

"Yes, Sir Hals!" Furen bowed slightly.

"Close those prisoners, you call Dougt again, I have something to ask him!" Ivan waved his hand to indicate that Fren can leave.

Fren nodded and nodded, after asking some precautions, he turned and left as instructed.

He has a very wide network of contacts in the magic world. He has also investigated these wizard families because of conflicts with the wizard market, so he has a very detailed understanding.

The first is the leader of the Knot family, Dougte suspects that they have a tendency to extreme pure bloodism.

Because several of the older Knott’s brothers and sisters joined the Death Eaters camp more than ten years ago, and they have a good relationship with another Black family who admires pure blood.

Not long after Voldemort's debut, the old Knott also funded Voldemort some funds.

In the end, it is natural that there is no need to say more, it is completely a loss-making business, which directly caused the Knot family, which was originally very prestigious in the magic world, to suddenly weaken.

After the death of Reese Knott, only the old Knott was left among the direct members of the family.

"In short, the Knott family are the real managers behind the wizarding market, occupying at least half of the share, and the old Knott is also the most involved in daily operations!"

Dougte explained to Ivan, and after talking about the Knot family, he then took out the details of the three pure-blood families of Foley, Rozier, and Roll.

These families are not big or small. In addition to the wizarding market, they also have their own businesses. They have a certain influence in the magic world. They are relatively neutral families and rarely get involved in disputes.

According to Dougert, they remain neutral and just want to stand on the side of the winner!

The Parkinson family has a certain pure-blood tendency and relatively conservative. They usually bet on both sides. They once supported Voldemort's pure-blood policy, but did not contribute money, so Voldemort did not lose much when he fell.

"The Abbot family is slightly different. They are pure blood, but they are closer to Muggles. I heard that they have invested in the Muggle industry in London. Well... I heard that the Broken Cauldron Bar is somewhat related to the Abbot family! "

Dougte shook everything he knew, then commented. "It's a relatively law-abiding family!"

"Are you sure!" Ivan tapped the ledger on the table with his hand.

If this is the case, why should they become one of the founding families of the Wizarding Market, where they are doing gray and even illegal businesses.

"I mean, at least in recent generations, people have this tendency!" Dougt shrugged.

The wizarding market was established a long time ago, and the concept of the family may change with each generation.

The Abbot family is more law-abiding, but they are not stupid. Why don't they make money when they are rich?

Anyway, there are agents who will not dirty their hands. They just open one eye and close the other to get dividends every year...

Hearing what Doug said said, Ivan suddenly became clear, and he no longer knew nothing about these six pure-blood wizard families.

It's just that he still didn't understand what Old Rozier wanted to do. Ivan looked at Dougte and said suddenly. "Rozier just wanted to plead with Foley and the others... begging me to let them go! Except for the old Knott..."

"Rozier?" Dougt raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then sneered. "He must be thinking of pulling up a group of people to improve his status!"

Speaking of this, Dougte is also a little impatient, the resources and money owned by the five pure-blood families should not be underestimated!

If Rozier really persuades them to join the camp and become the new leader, then the importance of this guy will soar, and the status may catch up with him, which is not good!

Ivan lightly tapped on the desktop but he was secretly gratifying. He had realized the way to deal with brain patching, that is, using one brain patching to deal with another brain patching!

As long as there are enough brain supplements, conflicts with each other, no collusion of intelligence with each other, and a smarter questioning, he will immediately know what these people are supplementing.

It would not reappear the embarrassing scene of doing nothing before, but someone ran to him to claim credit, saying that the last arrangement had been done.

He has experienced this kind of things a lot, no matter how good his acting skills are, one day he will wear help...

Thinking like this, Ivan was somewhat difficult to judge whether he wanted to agree to Old Rozier's plea, so he looked at Dougte again and asked.

"Do you think old Rozier has this ability?"

Thanks to Hilo Yuri for the 10,000 starting coins rewarded by Chhleo, the 1,000 starting coins rewarded by Chhleo, and the 100 starting coins rewarded by the House of Everything.
