"I said...John, you just came out like this?"

When the companion who had followed the Auror team to evacuate the monastery first saw John and the boy carrying the unconscious Brooks out of the gate grandly, his heart was filled with confusion. After all, who else was seeing it?

After going through the battle there and escaping in complete embarrassment, I am afraid that this building has long been regarded as the devil's lair.

However, now, John and the Shitabe boy have walked out of it almost unscathed, and even brought out the rescue target with them.

"If I'm not wrong, those inside should be the Obscurials that have almost completely disappeared in the United States a long time ago, right? Don't tell me that you two have already taken care of them all."

"Yeah, what's going on inside?" The Auror leader who was standing by was obviously very concerned about the current situation. Hearing this, he couldn't help but echoed.

However, they soon discovered that John's expression seemed a little off. When they walked towards the hiding place, he was slightly in a daze. However, because the night was getting dark at the moment, when he got closer, the Auror here

Only then did he gradually notice his abnormality.

In an instant, these well-trained Aurors put on serious and alert expressions, and raised their wands one after another.

"Um?"

Only then did John, who was slightly distracted, turn around and quickly waved to everyone.

"No, no, I'm fine, don't point the tip of the stick at me!" He waved his hands repeatedly, "The mission is completed, my brother has been rescued, and now the two rescue targets have been successfully rescued, right?"

"But there is obviously a problem with this monastery," the Auror leader said with a frown, "We have already called for further reinforcements. Congress will send more people over soon, but before that, you have to retreat us first.

Explain clearly the situation.”

At this point, his hand was already pointed at John's wand but he still didn't put it down. Instead, after a pause, he stared at the other person and further said:

"And... I'm sorry, please forgive me for being rude, but we need to check both of you because I suspect that you may have been under the Imperius Curse."

When John heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head.

"There is indeed someone who has been hit by the Imperius Curse, but it's just my poor brother... Of course, I can understand it. Please go ahead and get it tested, even though I was really just a little distracted just now!"

John obviously would not object to the Auror's inspection. After all, he knew very well that he had certainly not been hit by the Imperius Curse.

A moment later, after the Auror side took out the alchemy equipment and scanned him, the alien boy, and the unconscious Brooks one after another, John continued:

"But let me say it first, your people in the monastery should not go in - including the reinforcements that may come later. We got some information inside, and we need to go directly to the top floor of our 'workshop', and

The Magic Congress will report... Until then, all you need to do is guard this place and don't let anyone in."

"Of course...it's okay to be on standby, but..." The Auror leader couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then said, "We need to understand the situation inside, otherwise if another accident happens, will you be responsible? We can't be responsible for the danger.

Nothing!"

Hearing this, as an elite Auror, how could he not guess that the two Johns did not actually capture the monastery?

However, it must be said that although John, the two special agents of the Stewart family who accompanied the team, only accompanied the team for investigation and did not even have command authority, they were actually the highest-ranking members of the team. When John discovered that there was a special situation, John did

He has the authority to report directly to the boss beyond him as the team leader.

It's just that as the team leader, in order to ensure the safety of his men, he had to try to win despite knowing that there were probably still threats inside the monastery.

It's a pity that John was extremely determined this time.

"Sorry Captain," John shook his head decisively at the Auror leader, "Based on our in-depth understanding just now, the confidentiality level of the relevant cases has exceeded the scope of what you can know. Of course, there is only one thing I can assure you.

, that is, as long as you don’t break into the monastery again, everyone will be safe... Don’t worry, just wait here for the superiors to come and deal with this matter in person! This case... is no longer our responsibility."

After saying these words, John took the Shtabe boy and Brooks, who was in a coma, and left without saying another word.

…

"Then what?"

Looking at John across the way, he suddenly became distracted after saying this. Ron, who was already feeling quite itchy and unbearable, couldn't help but urge him.

After John heard this, he sighed with a somewhat bitter expression.

"Then I didn't go to the Congress, but first I visited my family." He said, "Although our family also has a seat in the Congress and has a big voice, but this matter... didn't you just want to ask the old man and the family?

Did he put forward any conditions? In fact, the matter is very simple. He said that I only need to convey a message to my grandfather, the head of our Stuart family at the time, and say...'Long time no see, old brother Lenny acts as master.

Say hello to you'."

"Lenny?"

When hearing the name, Hermione couldn't help but repeat it, then nodded and said:

"Sure enough...it's him."

"Who?" Ron, who was not far away, asked doubtfully, "Do you know this Lenny?"

"Yeah," Hermione responded, but she was also startled, and then said, "Maka...mentioned his name, it was the incident in the United States."

"Ah!" When Ron heard this, he nodded as if in a daze.

But at the same time, what Harry, who also heard this, was concerned about was not the name, but...

"Mr. Stewart, what did you mean when you said 'old brother' just now?"

Since the other party can use such an intimate self-identity in John's message, it shows that the other party probably had a good relationship with the head of the Stewart family at that time. And considering all the information John has revealed so far, this matter

Things immediately became more and more important.

However, things seemed to be worse than Harry imagined.

"That's the literal meaning," John shook his head and sighed, "Lenny Stewart, that's my grandfather's brother! I found out this secret myself afterward, because after that, my family transferred me

I went back to the institute. Grandpa personally took people there for the final negotiation, and I was told to keep this secret forever..."
