Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Although Grindelwald's calm demeanor surprised Picquery.

However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be released.

Moreover, they had already discovered Abernathy's little tricks! And, they had already corrected them afterward!

Although Abernathy escaped when they finally tried to capture him, this time, there would definitely be no problems with the witness!

No matter how calm Grindelwald appeared, he couldn't change the facts!

Just as President Picquery was convincing herself, an Auror came over to report.

"Madam President, the witnesses have all taken Veritaserum and are ready to testify at any time."

"Good... start immediately!" President Picquery glanced at Grindelwald, who was still smiling, and turned to return to her seat.

"Witness Number One, Morton Webb!" Picquery looked at the first witness to come forward.

He was a short, stout wizard with a dull expression, a normal reaction after taking Veritaserum.

"Before today, have you ever seen Gellert Grindelwald?" Picquery asked.

"Yes, I have," Webb nodded.

"When did you see him?"

"He was at the scene on the day my brother was murdered!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire venue was in an uproar.

And President Picquery, sitting above, showed a smile for the first time.

As expected, the tricks Abernathy had done had been completely corrected!

Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about!

Picquery glanced at Grindelwald again, wanting to see how long this bastard could maintain his indifferent expression!

"Silence!" Picquery struck the gavel again, restoring silence to the venue.

After the venue had finally quieted down, President Picquery asked again: "Who killed your brother?"

"He was killed by a wizard supremacist... he was Grindelwald's subordinate..." Webb said blankly.

After this testimony, the wizards in the venue couldn't help but discuss it again.

Even though President Picquery kept banging the gavel this time, it was a little useless.

Grindelwald was present, and his subordinate wizard supremacist even killed someone!

Even if he didn't do it himself, if he ordered it, it could almost be said to be direct evidence!

Although it was unknown whether this witness was a false witness deliberately arranged by the Magical Congress, this way, at least the murder charge could be forced upon him!

Even if Grindelwald appealed in the end, that would be a matter for the future, and at that time, there would definitely not be as much commotion as this public trial.

Because if this public trial initiated by Grindelwald became a farce, Grindelwald's prestige would be consumed until almost nothing was left...

When the venue gradually quieted down a bit, President Picquery began to eagerly ask: "Webb, did you witness Grindelwald instructing his subordinates to murder your brother?"

With President Picquery's words, the wizards in the venue fell completely silent.

Whether or not he could be convicted depended on the witness's answer.

Of course, everyone probably already had an answer in their hearts.

Because the American Magical Congress was planning to be dishonorable this time and directly frame him... the result shouldn't have too much of a reversal.

"No, I didn't," Webb replied.

As soon as this answer came out, everyone looked at him in shock.

President Picquery, sitting high in the main seat, was even more stunned.

"Witness! Please repeat your answer!"

"No, I didn't," Webb replied again with a dull expression.

The venue became noisy again, because the witness's answer was too unexpected!

The current testimony seemed to be in Grindelwald's favor? What was the American Magical Congress doing?

"This... how is this possible..." President Picquery slumped back in her chair, feeling as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

She looked at Grindelwald again.

Grindelwald was standing quietly at the defendant's seat, still with a faint smile on his face.

As if everything that happened was under his control.

But... how was this possible?!

"The wizard supremacist murdered your brother, and Grindelwald was indeed present, so what was Grindelwald doing at the time?" President Picquery asked unwillingly.

Although all the answers were beyond President Picquery's expectations, in the current situation, as long as Grindelwald was present at the time! Even if Grindelwald didn't speak at the time, she had a way to treat the wizard supremacist's evil deeds as Grindelwald's tacit consent!

In this way, she also had a way to put the blame on Grindelwald!

"Grindelwald's subordinate did kill my brother, because my brother was opposing Grindelwald's ideas at the time. And Grindelwald, he was planning to stop his subordinate from attacking my brother... it's just a pity that the Aurors interrupted his actions," Webb replied quietly.

With his answer, the venue, which had been a little noisy because of the previous answer, instantly quieted down.

So far, the first witness's testimony not only failed to put the blame on Grindelwald, but even... changed his image in people's minds?

Wasn't he a vicious dark wizard? He would actually save people from his own subordinates?

Moreover, according to the witness's account, if the Aurors hadn't broken in and attacked Grindelwald, then Webb's brother might not have died?

President Picquery slumped in her chair, completely unable to understand why things had turned out like this...

She suddenly looked at those Aurors.

When they came back to report, they clearly said that the witness's memory had been completely restored!

Now, the witness's testimony was actually like this!

She had sufficient reason to believe that there was a traitor among her most trusted Aurors!

However, those Aurors who were being stared at by her also had puzzled expressions at this time.

This made President Picquery somewhat unsure for a moment, who was the real traitor.

Or perhaps… were they all?

Thinking of this, President Picquery felt her hair stand on end…

Grindelwald looked at Weber on the witness stand and said with a look of apology, "I am very sorry, Mr. Weber, I was unable to save your brother… My followers misinterpreted my thoughts, which is my fault. In my opinion, seeking common ground while reserving differences is the normal way. If people are to be put to death simply because of differences in thought, that is really too wrong… I will not shirk responsibility, and afterwards I will, on behalf of the Wizengamot, make compensation to you… Although no amount of compensation can make up for the pain of losing a loved one…"

"Shut up! You shut up!" President Picquery said coldly, "Without permission, you are forbidden to talk to the witness!"

"Sorry." This time, Grindelwald still did not argue, but simply said sorry and fell silent again.

President Picquery's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

The first witness was already like this, what about the witnesses after that?

However, the fluke in her heart still made her choose to continue calling up the witnesses behind…

Nothing was right the first time! One shot, one internal, one content, one at a time!

Thirty minutes later, President Picquery's face was ashen.

Except for a witness named Cybo Wright, who insisted that Grindelwald had harmed his Muggle wife.

All the other witnesses, their testimonies failed to incriminate Grindelwald…

Not only that, in their testimonies, the ruthless Grindelwald had even become a responsible and responsible party leader…

And the Aurors had become people who reversed black and white and distorted right and wrong…

At this time, the venue was noisy and不堪, and had completely become a vegetable market.

It was really that the testimonies of these witnesses were too surprising…

If these witnesses were all prepared in advance by the Magical Congress, wanting to frame Grindelwald.

Then… only one person's testimony incriminated Grindelwald, but instead made the Magical Congress feel like it was hoisting itself with its own petard…

Originally, everyone else felt that the testimonies of those witnesses were too unreasonable, but the inclusion of a normal accusation made the other testimonies more credible.

Downstage, Dumbledore sighed deeply. He looked at Grindelwald, who was silent and smiling on the stage without saying a word, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Only harming a Muggle, not killing the other party… From the perspective of the United States' national conditions, it is almost not a serious crime.

With Grindelwald's influence, if he mediates with the victim and gives enough compensation, he may not even need to go to jail!

Even if he goes to jail, he will only be in jail for a few years at most…

What about after those few years? If Grindelwald comes out, what will the world be like?

The Muggle world has already begun to be ravaged by war, and the wizarding world will probably no longer be peaceful…

A few months ago, when he defeated Grindelwald, he thought that the wave stirred up by Grindelwald could return to silence. Now it seems that it is only just beginning…

At the same time, Tom, next to Dumbledore, was also shocked.

The way Grindelwald quietly stood aside, not saying anything, not doing anything, but being able to play with everyone present in the palm of his hand… is so cool!

In the past, he didn't quite understand why Grindelwald, who possessed powerful strength, didn't choose to use his strength to force his way through. Even if he couldn't beat Dumbledore, he could avoid his sharp edge…

But now… he completely understood.

Manipulating others does not necessarily depend entirely on strong strength…

So far, isn't even the powerful Dumbledore only able to stand silently under the stage and watch Grindelwald's performance?

For a time, Tom suddenly had a feeling of "A real man should be like this!"…

"How is it? I told you this trip wouldn't be in vain, right?"

Suddenly, Levid's voice rang in Tom's ear.

Tom turned to look at Levid, only to see him looking at himself with a smile that was not a smile…

"Indeed… I have benefited a lot…" This time, Tom rarely argued.

At this time, Dumbledore, who was being attracted by the situation on the stage, completely did not notice that these two little ones beside him were whispering using the whispering charm.

The venue was noisy for almost ten minutes before President Picquery came back to her senses.

After shouting for silence several times, the venue returned to silence again.

"Due to the large discrepancies in the testimonies between the witnesses, this court has reason to suspect that the memories of the witnesses may have been modified… Therefore, I think it is necessary to check whether the memories of the witnesses have been changed!"

After President Picquery finished speaking, she looked around, consulting everyone's opinions.

In fact, President Picquery's proposal this time was very reasonable.

The testimonies of the witnesses made everyone feel surprised. Subjectively speaking, it was completely inconsistent with everyone's perception of Grindelwald as a person.

Therefore, it is very necessary to check whether the memories have been modified!

"Does anyone have any objections?" President Picquery asked.

Everyone shook their heads to indicate that they had no objections.

"I also agree!"

What was shocking was that the person who said this was actually Grindelwald!

He met President Picquery's suspicious gaze and smiled: "If the testimony of the witness is suspected, then these unwarranted charges against me will still be firmly attached to me. Even if the result of today's public trial is that I am innocent, it will still cause controversy, so the more rigorous the better! I believe that the High Court will eventually clear my name."
