Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"But the Schmidt family alliance doesn't realize it, they think you're pushing the secession bill under their pressure, so how dare I betray you? If I betray the club, even if Andrei is willing to let me go, am I not afraid of the Schmidt family causing me trouble?" At this moment, Clement was as humble as he could be, making himself look like a pitiful worm. Book69 new

However, what he said was like a bolt from the blue for the people present, such as Andrei, who was too surprised to speak.

He didn't expect that these Silver Spears in the club, in addition to instigating infighting among folk wizards, would also attack those wizarding families.

No wonder after Pete came to power, the so-called "Differentiation Act" he introduced immediately received the support of many Wizengamot councilors. Andrei once thought that those wizarding families were instructing Pete.

Even before today, he still believed that a group of Wizengamot councilors led by the Schmidt family were secretly colluding with the Silver Spears. He didn't expect that there was such a secret.

At the same time, Anduin finally understood why 'Phoenix', who was in charge of managing the French branch, often appeared in Germany. This guy would suddenly appear at the previous monitoring point every once in a while, but she never showed up in public.

Presumably, she came to Germany to manage these folk groups in East Germany. Then, 'Phoenix' should have also played an important role in the German secession plan. Maybe this entire secession plan was designed by her and Goldfinger together.

"This doesn't prove anything." Anduin still had a straight face, as if he had already determined that Clement had betrayed the club. "You weren't a witness to the Schmidt family's affairs, so it's easy to clear your relationship. Besides, Andrei can promise to help you cover it up."

"No, Andrei will definitely not let me go." Clement swallowed. He was extremely terrified in his heart. "Have you forgotten that in order to help you gain a foothold in the Ministry of Magic and win over those ministers,

"I once instigated the child of the Director of the Department of Magical Transportation to injure Andrei's son, causing his son to limp. He still has difficulty moving around now. You also used this relationship to create a gap between the two directors. That's why the Director of the Department of Magical Transportation became the first person to join the club."

"Also, I put a lot of effort into bewitching the Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. It was I who lured him to embezzle the department's public funds to bet on Quidditch. Have you forgotten all of this? And this park was also built by me from scratch."

"If Andrei and the people from the Ministry of Magic find out about the good things I've done, how could they possibly let me go? Even if I'm stupid, I wouldn't join them at this time!"

The fear of Goldfinger seemed to be engraved in Clement's soul. So, after feeling that Goldfinger was suspecting him, he didn't care about anything and blurted out all the dirty work he had done for the club, trying to use these to prove that he could not possibly betray the club.

He, Clement, would have nowhere to be buried if he left the club!

And Andrei, who heard Clement's confession, felt as if his whole body was ignited by anger. His son had a duel with the child of the Director of the Department of Magical Transportation because of a trivial matter, and as a result, the other party accidentally seriously injured his child.

For so many years, Andrei had been brooding over this matter, so he had never given the Director of the Department of Magical Transportation a good look. He didn't expect that there was another secret in this matter. It turned out that the Silver Spears were playing tricks in it.

Thinking of this, Andrei, who was furious, was about to explode, but he suddenly felt a strong pressure on his body. He turned his head and saw that it was Anduin who was stopping him.

Interrupted by Anduin, Andrei had to suppress the anger in his heart. He also understood the importance of the overall situation. The Clement in front of him had been frightened by Anduin, and he had to find a way to dig more information out of him.

"Is that so?" After temporarily suppressing the Andrei who was about to explode, Anduin came back to his senses and sneered, "Maybe you really don't need to betray the club, but according to the information I received, the news was leaked from you."

Speaking of this, Anduin suddenly showed a murderous look, and his eyes narrowed into slits. "Not to mention the Vanishing Cabinet I found after entering the core hub of the park. As my most trusted subordinate, you have such a thing in your hands, and I don't know anything about it. How can you expect me to believe you?"

"What? You recognized the Vanishing Cabinet?" Clement's old face suddenly turned pale when he heard that the other party knew about the Vanishing Cabinet.

Indeed, that pair of Vanishing Cabinets did not belong to the Silver Spears. Moreover, as a subordinate personally developed by Goldfinger, he had always been clear about what the club wanted to open up a super-long-distance smuggling route, and what the Vanishing Cabinet meant to the club.

But hiding the existence of the Vanishing Cabinet also came from his little selfishness. He was still waiting to show his skills after officially joining the club. With this kind of sharp weapon, he would definitely be able to be promoted to a spear in a very short time.

But now, let alone that distant future, he was caught on the spot by Goldfinger, which was not the same as being caught secretly watching adult content by his parents.

Hiding such crucial information, if Goldfinger was ruthless, it was not impossible to kill him directly because of this.

Clement then understood why Goldfinger's attitude towards him was so unkind after he woke up, and he kept asking him to recall the past. It turned out that it was not to prove how loyal he was, but to make him understand how much he was trusted by the adult. But what this trust brought was hiding and deception.

From the beginning, he had misunderstood the adult's thoughts. Maybe the adult wanted him to tell the story of the Vanishing Cabinet himself, so that there would be a reason to let him go. But from the beginning to the end, Clement did not mention this matter.

At this time, Clement made up a completely closed-loop logical chain, and even made up a copy of Goldfinger's intentions, but this made him even more panicked.

"I'm sorry, sir, I was wrong, sir. That pair of Vanishing Cabinets was only received by me recently. I definitely didn't intend to hide this matter from you. I was originally planning to find an opportunity to dedicate that pair of Vanishing Cabinets to you!" At this time, Clement tried to make up for it and desperately tried to salvage the situation.

"You're talking!" Facing Clement's begging for mercy, Anduin shouted sharply, "I can see from your eyes that you still have something to hide from me. You're still looking for death at this time!"

Clement was shocked by Anduin's roar and trembled all over. It should be said that he had been trembling all the time, but he was trembling even more at this time.

"I'll tell you, sir, I'll tell you everything!" The cold sweat on Clement's face had dripped from his cheeks along his beard to the ground.

He did hide a lot of secrets in his mind. After Goldfinger placed a protective curse on his brain and signed a confidentiality contract, he did not feel dissatisfied like other collaborators.

Because the club's contract and magic were indiscriminate, even his own people could not pry into his brain. So, he used this technique to hide many secrets for himself, so that even Goldfinger and other people in the club did not know.

This could be regarded as a trick he discovered himself, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Goldfinger today.

"I... I have a secret room in my residence. This is a secret room that only I know about." Clement said slowly, word by word, with a trembling voice.

"What's hidden inside? Don't think you can deceive me just because you can't pry into your brain. At least I can see clearly whether you're lying or not!" At this time, Pete, played by Anduin, had a calm expression, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Yes... Yes, I would never dare to hide anything." Clement was glared at by the other party, and he was so scared that he was about to pee his pants. "In that secret room, I hide... hide some memories."

"Memories?" Anduin frowned upon hearing this. "Hasn't your memory been cursed? Can you extract it?"

"Yes... yes, oh no... no." Clement was already a little incoherent. "I discovered by chance that if the extraction is relatively fast, the newly generated memory will not be immediately covered by the Secret-Keeping Magic."

"Oh? Then, according to your discovery, how long is this period of time?" Anduin felt as if he had discovered something incredible, and his expression suddenly became teasing.

And his expression at this time immediately changed in Clement's eyes. "Sir, I was wrong, I didn't mean to, sir."

"Stop talking nonsense, answer my question!" Anduin shouted sharply.

"Yes." Clement trembled again upon hearing this. "I found that under normal circumstances, memories generated within 6 hours are still within the range that can be brought forward..."

"Then how many memories have you secretly hidden? And what kind of memories have you secretly hidden? Don't mind telling me?" Anduin had actually guessed the content of these memories, but he still wanted to hear Clement say it himself.

"I... I..."

Clement 'I' for a long time, but still didn't dare to continue. Finally, under 'Pete's' cold gaze, he closed his eyes and roared tremblingly.

"What I have secretly hidden are the memories of meeting you and other adults in the club over the past ten years. I'm sorry, Lord Pete, I just wanted to keep a souvenir, I didn't mean anything else, it's true, Lord!"

At this time, Clement didn't look like an old man in his seventies at all. Instead, he was like a child who had made a mistake in front of his parents. He actually crawled towards Anduin in tears and tried to pull at the other party's robe to beg for forgiveness, but he was easily dodged by Anduin's sideways movement.
