"I said... John, you just came out like this?"
When the companion who 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, anyone who has witnessed the battle there and escaped in complete embarrassment may have already regarded this building as a 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 something was wrong with John's expression, and he seemed to be in a daze as he walked towards the hiding spot. However, because it was getting dark at the moment, as he got closer, the Aurors and others here gradually noticed something strange about him.
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 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 frowned, "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, please just test it, 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 need to go directly to the top floor of our 'workshop' and the magic The 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 startled 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 ignore the danger. Know it!"
Hearing this, as an elite Auror, how could he not guess that the two Johns did not actually capture this 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 he discovers special circumstances, John does have the authority to report directly to the team leader without him being the team leader.
It's just that as the team leader, knowing that there are still threats hidden in the monastery, in order to ensure the safety of his men, he has to try to fight for it.
Unfortunately, this time John was extremely determined.
"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 your ability to 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 left with the Shtabe boy and the unconscious Brooks without saying another word.
…
"Then what?"
Looking at John across the way, he suddenly became distracted after saying this. Ron, who was already 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 I visited my family first." He said, "Although our family also has a seat in the Congress and has a big say, but this matter... Didn't you just want to ask the old man and Ti? Are there any conditions? In fact, the matter is very simple. He said that I only need to convey a message for him to my grandfather, the head of our Stuart family at the time, and say... "Long time no see, old brother Lenny wants to tell you on behalf of the master." Say hello'."
"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 he was enlightened.
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 could use such an intimate self-identification in John's message, it showed 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 has become increasingly 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 biological 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. I was told to keep this secret forever... "
