Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King
#542 - Chapter 542: Enraged Voldemort
【Saints Fully Take Over Gringotts, Ensuring Stable Operation!】
【Grindelwald Personally Promises: Wizard Deposits are Safe and Secure, Saints Will Provide Better Financial Services Than Goblins!】
【International Confederation of Wizards' New President, Sebastian Swan, Negotiates with Grindelwald with Representatives from Various Countries. Negotiations Progress Smoothly, Both Parties Reach Preliminary Consensus.】
【Where is Gringotts Headed in the Future? The Core Issue of Concern in the Wizarding World Will Be Discussed in the Second Round of Negotiations in a Week!】
【A Turning Point for Peace? What Does Grindelwald's Return Mean?】
【The Shadow of War Gradually Dissipates, Does the Magical World Usher in a New Order?】
Successive blockbuster news completely ignited the entire magical world, causing a huge sensation. Many people who were originally worried about the outbreak of war and social unrest finally breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cheered excitedly.
No war, that's really great!
For ordinary people, what they really care about is peace and stability.
Grindelwald and the Saints are too well-known. Elders in almost every magical family have told stories about them.
During the First Wizarding War, countless wizards died as a result, and the population of the magical world plummeted, and it has not fully recovered to this day.
Now, after the Saints drove away the Death Eaters and occupied Gringotts, not only did they not show any signs of launching a war, but they also ensured the normal operation of Gringotts, as if, as Grindelwald said, it was just to ensure everyone's property was safe.
In this way, people don't have to worry about the property stored in Gringotts being directly looted by the Saints and used as military expenses.
Swan Media's news channel has launched 24-hour live broadcasts. The first step is definitely that the newly appointed president of the Wizarding Association did not rashly launch a war, but saw Grindelwald's attitude through negotiations.
Some heavyweight guests analyzed Grindelwald's return and his position from different perspectives in front of the camera, especially the guardianship theory he advocated.
The negotiations between the Wizarding Association and Grindelwald are the focus of discussion.
Commentators have analyzed the potential advantages and disadvantages of this negotiation. Some people emphasized that Grindelwald's return this time did not take radical measures, but chose to seek a balance in the magical world through negotiations. This move is very different from the past actions of the Dark Lord.
All commentators unanimously believe that, according to this trend, it is very likely that the two sides will usher in peaceful coexistence. In an ideal state, after the second round of negotiations, the two sides are likely to directly enter a state of full cooperation.
If you want to whitewash Grindelwald, it is not enough to rely on the commentators' analysis on Swan Media. After all, no matter how eloquently these people speak, people still have to see concrete actions.
In order to further stabilize the situation, at the same time as the news reports were broadcast, some carefully arranged public relations actions were also proceeding smoothly.
Early the next morning, some arranged shills first went to Gringotts under the control of the Saints to withdraw money. After witnessing them successfully retrieving their deposits unscathed, some wizards who were originally hesitant began to stir.
When these people who tested the waters returned safely, more and more people went to Gringotts to conduct business.
Although most of the wizards who came were conducting withdrawal business, and some wizards even took out all the property in the vault, the Saints did not stop them in any way, and still maintained the withdrawal process with a smile, which was no different from the goblins.
All of this is only temporary. When everything is completely stable, these wizards will still obediently deposit their wealth in the bank.
The shills drove the bold, and the bold drove the timid. When more and more wizards witnessed and experienced it firsthand, the public's doubts gradually dissipated and they began to believe that Grindelwald's prison break was not intended to disrupt the magical world.
The people are at ease, but some people can't sit still. Just as Sebastian predicted, Voldemort fell into a rage after the news was broadcast.
Riddle Manor, the air seemed to be frozen, and it was so dull that it was suffocating. Although it was midsummer, it could not dispel the chill that permeated the room.
The Death Eaters sat quietly on both sides of the long table, even Bella, who had always been crazy, was as well-behaved as a sheep.
Voldemort sat at the end of the long table, his dark robe falling to the ground, and the shadow shrouded his snake-like face. His red pupils were even more dazzling in the dimness, like two gems burning with anger.
His fingers slowly tapped the table, and each tap was like the countdown before the scythe of the Grim Reaper fell, causing the Death Eaters to involuntarily hold their breath.
"Who can tell me, what is going on? Why are my Death Eaters so vulnerable to the attacks of the Saints that they didn't defend a single Gringotts?"
No one dared to make any sound, the Death Eaters all lowered their heads, their backs stiff. They all knew that the consequences of the Dark Lord's anger were far more terrible than a battle.
"Gringotts was given away so easily," Voldemort said softly, his tone terrifyingly calm, as if he was talking about an insignificant little thing. However, everyone heard the monstrous anger hidden beneath this calm surface.
"I don't care about Gringotts, but I didn't expect my subordinates to be so incompetent," his voice gradually lowered, and each word seemed to carry a chill, penetrating into everyone's bones.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees again, and those defeated Death Eaters were sweating profusely, but they didn't even have the courage to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
Voldemort looked at the cowering Death Eaters in front of him, and the anger in his chest almost burned him to ashes.
A bunch of trash!
However, even though he was extremely angry, he did not cast the Cruciatus Curse at will as he had done in the past, torturing them until they rolled on the ground.
He forcibly suppressed his anger, not because of pity, but because the situation this time was somewhat beyond his expectations.
The Death Eaters' expansion plan had just begun to show results, but they were driven back to England from various countries by the Saints. What made him even more unbearable was that he personally tried to test the waters, but he failed to gain the slightest advantage in Grindelwald's hands.
Voldemort's face became more and more gloomy.
Recalling that battle, he couldn't wait to turn everything in front of him into dust.
He originally thought that after decades of imprisonment, Grindelwald's magic had long since disappeared, and even if he had any remaining strength, it would be impossible for him to compete with him again. But the facts proved that he was wrong.
Grindelwald was still strong, and he did not gain the upper hand in that confrontation.
If he hadn't been afraid of Sebastian's undercurrent activity and unwilling to let a third party benefit, Voldemort would never have let it go. He was confident that if he fought desperately, he would definitely make that old thing Grindelwald look good.
After suffering such a big loss, Voldemort originally planned to regroup and restore the Death Eaters' prestige in the shortest possible time, so as not to make the people of the magical world feel that they were frightened by the Saints.
However, variables came again.
Sebastian, that stupid guy, actually took the initiative to find Grindelwald and start negotiations with him.
Voldemort frowned even tighter.
What is this?
According to his speculation, the next pattern of the magical world will inevitably evolve into a three-legged chaotic situation, and Sebastian's wisest choice should be to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait for the situation to become clear.
After all, the struggle between the two Dark Lords is only beneficial to Sebastian, and there is no harm.
But he chose to negotiate?
Not only is it negotiation, but judging from various signs, these two people even have a tendency to cooperate!
Voldemort's face completely darkened, and the red light in his eyes became more and more dazzling.
This won't do!
If Sebastian really stands on the same front as Grindelwald, then he will be the most dangerous one, and he must find a way to break the situation.
