A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

The meeting is still going on.

The dull atmosphere did not last long. After looking around at the others, Crowley spoke.

"But even with such shortcomings, Metalia's pregnancy witchcraft cannot be underestimated..."

"Do not."

Deputy Director Crowley was about to continue speaking when someone suddenly interrupted him.

That was Leon. He knocked on the table and looked at the other people present, his eyes showing seriousness.

"Gentlemen, killing them will not improve the rating. On the contrary, this matter will be more terrifying." Leon said solemnly.

"Because it represents one important thing, which is that they briefly transcended the Dark Forest."

"What do you mean?" Deputy Director Crowley asked doubtfully.

But it was Cruise who answered him.

"It's not difficult to understand. What is the biggest contradiction among wizards?"

"They are each other's food, their only food. This is not... wait, you mean..."

Deputy Director Crowley's eyes suddenly widened.

"That's right." Leon nodded, "Since killing the other party can't improve the rating, that means they can't use each other as food."

"If they use this witchcraft skillfully, the Metalia family will have an army of wizards with an overwhelming number and unified command that will not cause internal strife."

"Even if they don't fight us head-on, they can still find lone wizards and hunt them like a pack of wolves or a pack of ants."

Leon looked at everyone, paused and said, "Believe me, this is extremely efficient."

Cruise, in turn, repeated it to the others using more vivid metaphors.

"Gentlemen," he said, "the significance of this incident to the wizarding world reminds me of another incident, that is, in 1531, Bizarro and his 300 Felipe soldiers armed to the teeth set foot on the New World The Incas. An army of well-trained civilized people descended on the primitive world of tribal conflicts, and there is no need to say more about what happened after that.”

"And now, Bizarro is back."

"So we must destroy Metalia."

……

This meeting has two goals.

First, establish the consensus that Metalia must be destroyed.

Second, expel Metalia... from a legal perspective.

Yes, the Robbins family even hopes that at a legal level, Metalia will not even have the power to execute criminals, and anyone can execute them at any time and anywhere.

That's where the governor and the judge who didn't speak came from, and at least the Robbins family passed it on a state law level.

However, whether this resolution can ultimately be implemented depends on the wishes of the Federal Supreme Court and the Department of Justice. This is the purpose of their invitation to Cruz.

Cruise's final answer was that he would report it to headquarters.

"Everyone needs to understand that we are not responsible for Metalia's affairs. We are here only for temporary support."

"Our mission is still not over, which is to track down 'Ely the Butcher'. Other teams will take over Metallia's affairs later," Cruise said.

"Yes, I was so busy visiting Metalia that I almost forgot about the Three Pests of California." Senator Richard smiled.

After Cruise made his statement, the meeting came to an end.

The governor and the judges soon got up and left, preparing to convene a council to establish Metalia's destruction.

Deputy Director Crowley then left, and the hunt for Metalia and the remaining Toltec members was still going on nervously.

Cruise, Richard and Leon were the only ones left in the conference room.

Leon looked at Cruise and asked.

"With all due respect, I would like to ask which group will take over this matter?"

"You can rest assured." Cruise said, "BOI is not a fool, we know the importance of this matter... Group 003 will be responsible for this matter. They have 12 members and are the largest group among us. .”

Leon Robbins nodded in relief and immediately smiled.

"This incident came at a really unlucky time. It happened to coincide with the 1920 election, and after President Wilson fell ill last year, the whole country was in chaos."

"Hahaha, maybe they are interested in this time." Senator Richard said, and immediately looked at Cruz.

"Which candidate did the BOI support in the first place? It should be fair to say that the congress has been over for two months."

"You know, we have always remained neutral." Cruise smiled.

"Haha... This is impossible. The power of the Bureau of Investigation is directly linked to the president. I don't believe you don't have a candidate you like."

"Okay." Cruise said helplessly, raising his hands in surrender.

"Herbert Clark Huhua, this is the unanimous choice of the Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice. But what does it matter? The Department of Justice supports the Republican Party, and we will definitely direct the votes to your candidate in the end."

"Who is he... Harding? With all due respect, Harding is the most mediocre kind of Phoenix man. Let him be the president... You might as well just find a shoemaker's son on the street."

Senator Richard shook his head and smiled.

"You're right, but after President Wilson, Congress was tired of heroic leaders like this, before whom Congress was like a rubber stamp that only passed resolutions."

"In this case, Harding became a rare talent."

"Really..." Cruise looked over keenly.

"Is this why the Republican Party is so obsessed with solving problems in California? You are afraid that Harding will not have an advantage in places other than California, so you want to try to ensure votes here?"

Richard smiled and didn't answer.

Cruise glanced at him and immediately stopped laughing: "Okay... these are not things that I, an investigator, should take care of."

"We will be responsible for dealing with the issues left by Metalia and Toltec before the arrival of Group 003, but please note that we will not take the initiative to pursue it, we will only protect the status quo. Buster Metalia is Class B, At the same time, we don’t know how many C-level wizards he has, which is beyond what we can handle.”

"Of course I understand that." Richard smiled, "Santos Robbins is conducting an investigation. I just hope that you can give the Robbins family the legal status to investigate."

"That's no problem," Mr. Cruise said. "Well, farewell."

He stood up and left the conference room. Reese had been waiting outside for a long time.

He didn't ask Cruise anything, and the two left the Central Police Station in silence.

……

Levi leaves Charlie's house.

It was already evening by this time, and it was getting dark.

It is not difficult to understand that Cruise and the others anticipated their actions at the time.

The day before Levi burned the drugs, he asked him to help him remember the location and topography of the drug warehouse.

But... now that I think about it, why didn't they stop themselves?

Levi thought for a while, maybe they were afraid that they would make a fuss if they stopped him, but instead would alert the enemy?

"Forget it, I don't know." Levi thought openly.

He planned to go back to his hut on Lombard Street. He hadn't been back for a long time, and his alchemy materials were still there.

This year is almost over~
