"It's not over yet!"

In a leeward col, a dozen black-robed wizards were arguing fiercely.

It was less than an hour before the attack, but they had awakened their companions very efficiently and hid in three groups.

This col was a hiding spot they had chosen in advance.

"Bethney stayed at the scene. Yuria, you have the best relationship with her. What do you think we should do?" said the short boy whose mask was lifted by Felix.

His face was covered with blood and his brown hair was dyed blood red.

Yuria looked around at his demoralized companions and said with difficulty: "We can't go back. That man, that gentleman... He is too strong. We don't have any chance. Your sister..."

"Byers, Yuria is also in a difficult situation. If that gentleman hadn't taken action in the end..."

"None of us can escape." One person took over.

"The Aurors of the French Ministry of Magic must have arrived by now." A student lifted his mask irritably, revealing a round face.

"Can we contact Brother Daniel? He must know the news." Someone suggested.

Yuria shook his head, "His communication is limited, and our previous contact was intermittent. Before the operation, I only told him the time and hiding place of the attack."

"Let's wait for another half an hour. If he doesn't come, it means that he has been exposed or he can't get away. We will move directly."

Byers wiped the light red tears and said with trembling lips: "Sister, she is also seriously injured. Will they treat her, Yuria? I am very worried about her. I don't even know if she is still alive..."

The others also took off their masks, revealing faces full of worries.

Yuria gritted her teeth: "It's all my fault."

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly appeared: "Yuria, your action this time is too reckless!"

These people turned around one after another, with surprise expressions on their faces, "Brother Daniel! And Abke, it's great to see you!"

Two adult wizards appeared in the col, one of them had long fiery red hair and a slender figure, and the other had short dark brown hair and a strong and stocky figure.

Everyone surrounded the two wizards in the middle and asked them questions excitedly.

"Brother Daniel, do you know how Bethenny is doing?"

"Yeah, did she get treatment?"

Daniel, a wizard with long fiery red hair, looked a little ugly after hearing what they said, "I don't know the details yet. According to the agreement, Abke and I pretended to be led away by you, and passed false information to other people. We didn't go to the Busrels Hotel at all."

"But Bethenny... as long as she's still alive, she'll be fine. Celeste can't afford the price!"

Abke, the short and strong man next to him, nodded honestly in agreement.

Byers was slightly relieved, and he immediately thought of something, "Then can you go and find out about my sister now? In name, you are Celeste's guards?"

Daniel showed an apologetic expression: "Byers, our entire team came here illegally, and it is impossible for us to appear in front of the French Ministry of Magic. Besides, Celeste is probably in trouble now."

"It's all the fault of that guy named Corey Menon. He is the one who caught Matt!"

"Nonsense!" Daniel scolded, "Matt had the courage to attack a senior official of the Magic Congress, and he still blamed being caught?"

Everyone was silent.

Daniel's tone softened a little, he looked at Uriah, "The situation was urgent before, and the communication was not smooth, I didn't have time to ask in detail. How could you make such a big scene, I don't remember passing on any information to you. Was it someone else's intelligence? Fury? Herman? Kelly?"

The others looked at Uriah, who was the one who initiated this operation.

"It's the New York Ghost, Daniel." Yuria said embarrassedly, "Matt saw from it that Celeste was going to attend a meeting in Paris, France. He and I contacted a few people privately, all of whom are graduates. We thought we were strong enough, so we didn't tell anyone..."

"We plan to kidnap her and get evidence of the crime and some intelligence about high-level congressmen from her."

Daniel looked at him with scrutiny.

Yuria said frankly, "It went very smoothly at the beginning. We found the right opportunity to launch a raid. Celeste and her followers were no match for them, not to mention those Muggle research experts. But then two Capitol Aurors suddenly appeared. They were very strong. We retreated all the way but were still chased. Matt was caught to buy us time to escape..."

Daniel added information, "That was Celeste's hidden power. The French Ministry of Magic only approved her and Cecil, and no Aurors from Congress were allowed to enter the country. Celeste chose the two people she trusted most to smuggle in to protect her. Corey Menon was one of them."

"No wonder they made their move covertly when we were about to succeed, and deliberately avoided the French Aurors!" Yuria suddenly realized.

"Brother Daniel, weren't you there at the time?"

Daniel said unhappily, "If I was there, none of this would have happened!"

He calmed down and said, "Let's rethink it. You and Matt got intelligence from the newspaper and organized the first operation privately, but were defeated by Celeste's hidden power, and Matt was captured. Later, in order to rescue Matt, you gathered more people and planned this operation."

Uriah nodded.

Daniel continued to analyze, "This is your perspective. Next, I will tell you how Celeste and I view this operation. It is also a warning to you: You must know that you have made too many mistakes in this process!"

Everyone looked at him in silence.

"Her first two entrapment plans failed because of me and some people's presence."

"Thanks to Brother Daniel's intelligence!"

"We are all members of the Reform Society." Daniel shook his head: "This meeting... I'm not sure if she used it as a trap. After all, it is too risky. If you are not careful, it will cause international disputes. Of course, it may be that she was forced into a corner! But she must have been prepared, so she ordered her two most trusted Aurors to smuggle into France and hide in the dark."

"Your first operation failed in this context!"

"And Abk, I, and others knew nothing about it."

"Afterwards, Celeste caught Matt and had the opportunity to get the list. He also thought that you might launch a rescue, so he contacted Congress to send more people. Abk and I were the second batch."

"Celest's excuse was to guard against Grindelwald's admirers, but I got some inside information from Corey Menon and guessed it might be your work."

"So far, Abu Dhabi and I are another important influencing factor after Celeste, you and the French Ministry of Magic."

The others were listening attentively. Yuria only knew that Matt was captured and everyone was called upon to rescue him, but he didn't know there were so many twists and turns involved.
