Seeing that time was about to pass, Ivan's heart gradually sank to the bottom.
He made so many preparations today and captured all the wizards in Knockout Alley in one breath. If he succeeded in one fell swoop, it would be nice to say that once he failed, the consequences would be serious.
Fortunately, Ivan was slightly relieved that when there were only ten seconds left, one hand was slowly raised.
The wizards who were still hesitating for a while turned their heads and looked over. It was Mark who raised their hands.
Under everyone's gaze, Mark did not waver at all. He stared at Ivan on the high platform, then glanced at his nine-year-old son who was arrested with him, and finally sighed.
"Perhaps you are right, Knockdown Alley needs order...I don't want what happened that day to happen again..."
Mark's affectionate sigh moved the wizards present.
But the voice of opposition soon rang.
"Who knows if what he said is true?"
"There shouldn't be any need for him to lie to us..." Mark pointed to the law enforcement officers gathered around and reminded him. "Don't forget, we didn't have a choice from the beginning."
Mark's meaning is very obvious, the situation is better than people now, even if Ivan is uneasy and kind, they have nothing to do.
After a while of silence, more and more wizards raised their hands, and those who had opposed opinions had to temporarily bow their heads in this form.
After a while, everyone in the audience raised their hands in agreement, and the heart that Ivan had been holding finally let go. Although the one-minute time limit has long passed, at least the result he wanted has now been achieved.
The only pity is that the reminder of the task completion has not sounded. With a thought, Ivan opened the task bar and took a look. The task of rectifying Knockdown Alley has increased to 97%...
Except for the two pairs of fists, he no longer has the ability to fight against this group of mobs... He can only watch a dozen or so angry wizards throw them to the ground.
The noise and chaos lasted for about five minutes. Twenty or so wizards were quickly kicked out by the crowd, each with their noses and faces swollen. Obviously they were beaten during this time...
The last wizard who was pushed out was even more blue and purple, and looked very miserable, but he climbed onto the high platform uncharacteristically, trembling slightly in front of Ivan, crying bitterly. Accusing myself of being wronged and framed...
Ivan looked down at the wizard and said indifferently. "Jamie Davis?"
"Your Excellency Hals, do you know me?" Jamie's heart suddenly slammed.
"Of course I know..." Ivan said playfully. "Twenty-one years ago, you graduated from Hogwarts. Before, you lived in the magic world by selling fake goods. It wasn't until you killed an Auror who saw through you fourteen years ago that you escaped to Knockover Alley. Become a habitual thieves and predators here, am I right?"
Jamie's pupils shrunk slightly and looked at Ivan with horrified eyes. The other party knew his habit of stealing, and he could understand it, but the fact that he once killed the Auror was clearly a secret that no one knew...
He can’t understand where the other party learned about the news but Jamie has already thought so much unintentionally, and the fearful expression on his face has gradually become hideous. He has been from the beginning. Knowing that Ivan would not let him go so easily, the law enforcers around him also cut off his retreat.
The only way to survive is to hijack the young wizard in front of him, and now is the best opportunity!
A trace of excitement surged into his heart, and Jamie knew that the law enforcement officers at such a close distance would never be able to provide support, and the wizard who was close to him would never have the chance to pull out his wand!
Jamie jumped up from the ground almost instantaneously, leaped straight at Ivan, and stretched out his flexible right hand to point at Ivan’s neck...
But beyond Jamie's expectation, after his sudden uproar, Ivan did not move at all, calmly a little scary.
Under the action of the mind-consciousness, Jamie's thoughts and thoughts have long been exposed, so in the face of such an "sudden" attack, Ivan just spit out a few words sarcastically.
"Ridiculous!"
