Chapter 336 - 336. Major Events
Adrian came directly to visit Magnus in Hogwarts and tell him everything. But, at the same time, Ted was there to tell him other news.
"WE HAVE DONE IT! According to the referendum held in Zimbabwe on 28th December 1974, with 98% of people voting in favour, Zimbabwe has decided to become an extension of England itself. The people of Zimbabwe will be both English and Zimbabweans.
"You have done it, Magnus. You solved the land problem of our nation." Ted cheered for this news.
And that made Magnus happy about it as well. "That\'s good. How is the reaction of politicians and people here?"
"We were quick to control the public narrative. We deliberately made it seem as if the people of the United Kingdom welcome them. This caused even those who didn\'t want to welcome them to change their minds.
"As for the politicians, I can\'t say it\'s all good. Some still see Overseas territories as colonies and the people there as inferior. I have already told the Prime Minister to address this issue before anything happens. He will be making a public statement soon, telling the world that Zimbabweans are accepted here like our own and if they face any problem regarding discrimination then the strongest laws will be applicable. A silent message will be sent to all those in high positions.
"The queen will also be making a public speech on live television. What about you, Magnus?" Ted asked him for his plans.
*Knock Knock*
Adrian went into Magnus\' office, "I found a major clue. We need to head to Colombia."
Magnus and Ted both looked at him with questions. Ted then explained the whole time turner mission and the new clues about the assassin. The man was hiding in Colombia, it seemed.
Magnus quickly got up, "Fine, Adrian, call a thousand wizards for this mission. Also, call the 10,000 men Wizard co-op company from Golden Company. We must get this man alive, and whoever comes in our way will die."
...
Magnus quickly got permission to head out of the school. Ragnar also followed but Magnus didn\'t allow anyone else. They all used a Portkey to arrive at an office building owned by Tonks & Tonks.
The South American country was a poor one and was one of the playgrounds of the United States. The presence of the American agencies was a lot here, so Magnus called the American President beforehand and informed him about the operation he was going to conduct, and that it was better to keep the muggle agencies as far away as possible.
The next thing they did was crazy. There was a reason why Magnus brought so many wizards. They blocked the entire country\'s portkey and apparition magic. Then they went to find the man in question.
The tracker showed he was somewhere deep inside the jungles. On their way, they came across many small and big cocaine factories. They killed all the men inside and destroyed the facility as well as the substance.
Magnus was astounded by these drugs being found, "How the hell does the US not know about this? It\'s impossible."
"Who says they\'re not involved in this too. They probably take a cut as well." Ragnar snarkily added.
Ted who had the information told him, "A majority of these belong to a new cartel, called Medellín cartel, belonging to some upstart wannabe drug king, Pablo Escobar"
"Hmm... transmit my orders to all. Be on the lookout for this Pablo Escobar, if they find him, kill him." Magnus ordered it immediately.
Slowly, their journey took them to some ancient ruins. These were most likely pre-Columbus, from the times when the natives of these lands inhabited it. It was in the middle of a forest.
"I can feel it, there is magic here," Magnus exclaimed. His words made everyone alert to the surrounding.
Soon, they started using revealing charms to find the entrances. There was something hidden inside the ground, that was for sure. After looking for an hour, they found a secret entry.
Forcefully entering it, avoiding every single trap, they arrived inside what seemed to be a pretty modern looking bunker. But, it was too big. There was a big hall with a large round table and chair around.
"I think we are dealing with multiple people who are trying to kill you, Magnus." Ted guessed.
Magnus frowned, this meant more investigation. "Adrian, where is your tracker pointing?"
"It\'s pointing right here. The man must be around her since it\'s impossible to get rid of the marker." Adrian muttered and looked around. They knocked on various places on the floor, only to find one small part didn\'t feel full.
And behold, the man they were looking for. He had cramped himself in that tiny space to save himself. But sad for him, they had the tracker.
He was a wizard, so they immediately cut his arms and legs. Then the real interrogation started. After a bit of a nice treatment, the same as Rodolphus, the man spoke like a friend who said he won\'t reveal your secrets to people.
"You can\'t get to them. They are gods in this world. They rule everything, every single country that rises, every famine that occurs, every war that happens, every coup that takes place, it\'s all their grand plan. Their wealth exceeds most nations\' GDPs, they can collectively change governments, borders and ... YOU. And they are s... AAARGH"
*BAM* Ragnar suddenly punched the man in the face and broke a few of his teeth.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?" Magnus asked him.
Ragnar caressed his fist, "Just felt like punching him. The bastard was telling us everything but not what we wanted. Oye, tell us who they are and what they want?"
"Hehe... you are fools if you think anybody knows their identities. Only they know each other, nobody else knows them. We just follow orders and get paid." The man answered.
Magnus sighed, "You\'re not being much helpful to me, you know. Fine, I will go good old Dumbledore on you then."
...
The man was named Castello, and he was braindead now. This is what happens when someone\'s entire life gets read in a second with every single detail being focused on.
*HISSS... Team King... come in...*
Adrian spoke through the magical wireless and got the information. He told everyone, "It seems we did well by coming here. Pablo Escobar just got killed by our men. Not just him, they found many more drug lords. All are dead now."
Magnus nodded, "Good. Let\'s head back. I think I have an idea on how to deal with this so-called secret society now."
...
Unknown location,
A grand council was held of the entire order of the Illuminati. The name of the group was not what they gave, it was given by the world for some reason. They had initially named themselves The Order of Eyes.
The meeting was special today, since they had underestimated Magnus. They had no idea about Magnus\' true strength all this time and now they were finding that he was probably alone stronger than all of them combined. Possibly not in money but everything else.
The organisation was top-secret in the world. There were about 20 members and among them, 5 were the heads. These five were extremely old people who had stayed alive with the help of various magical means.
"We have started this, then we must end this. If the naive prince does not join us, then it\'s better to deal with him." The was a common discussion occurring as they tried to find a way to deal with the current mess.
"It\'s not as easy, he also has enough firepower to destroy any nation in the world."
*RAAAAA...*
All of a sudden a loud roar resounded, so heavy that the room felt like shaking. Everyone in the room felt their hearts tremble in fear, knowing this can\'t be a good sign.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
Immediately the emergency protective measures got activated, signalling that an intruder was trying to get inside.
*BOOM*
*WAAA*
*SCRRR...*
A plethora of sounds came from outside, as they all huddled inside the room with all its walls and doors made of metal. A few men were screaming in frenzy, as they were wizards and yet could not apparate away.
*BAM*
Finally, the metal walls started to show dents from the other side. They only increased. With each loud thump, the metal walls would cave in more and more.
Their hearts were in their mouths with anxiety and fear. This was the problem with the most powerful and rich people, they fear death a lot.
*BOOM*
Then finally, 4 huge claws penetrated the walls and sliced a hole in the wall. Soon, amidst the cloud of dust, one shadow entered. "Hello, everyone. Won\'t you welcome me?"
Magnus it was, with his answer of how to deal with powerful people. And the answer was... ABSOLUTE STRENGTH.
