Daniel continued to explain

, "At this time, Celeste began to make mistakes."

"The first mistake was that she did not expect that the French Ministry of Magic would not agree to Congress sending additional personnel to assist in defense, and our seven American Aurors could not appear in the open. Therefore, although the French side sent additional personnel, her power and information channels had loopholes."

"But she also made a plan to make up for it. One was to send Cecil to contact us, and the second was to let us take turns to monitor the hotel, especially on the day of the meeting, which is today."

"But then came her second mistake." Daniel laughed: "She was not aware of the existence of Abke and me, which gave us the opportunity to do something."

"In fact, we only did three things, and fortunately, they were all successful. The first was to find out where Matt was being held, in the basement of the hotel; the second was to contact Uriah, but we actually encountered the same dilemma as Celeste - poor communication, or even worse than her."

He glanced at Uriah, "Otherwise I would advise you to cancel the second attack directly and look for another opportunity to rescue Matt."

"But fortunately, we told you the most critical information: including that Abk and I will be on duty from 2 to 5 this afternoon, and Matt's imprisonment location!"

"The third thing is that Abk and I lied to you at the agreed time and took away the others, leaving you time to act. In fact, it was only five minutes, but these five minutes are crucial."

"As for Celeste's third mistake," Daniel's expression became serious, "this is also your mistake. She underestimated your recklessness."

"She never thought that you would organize a rescue team of more than 50 people. Uriah, most of the people who followed you are still in school. Have you ever thought about how irrational your behavior is?"

"Have you ever thought about what to do if casualties occur?" He said sternly.

Uriah lowered his head in shame. He really didn't think so much.

Byers on the side said stubbornly: "We have been prepared for a long time! Anyway, they will erase my parents' memories, right?"

Daniel looked at the tears in his eyes and hesitated to speak.

Yuria pulled Byers' arm and looked at Daniel: "It's really my fault. I shouldn't have involved them, and I shouldn't have taken action without a thorough investigation. If that gentleman hadn't shown mercy, we would have been wiped out."

Daniel asked curiously: "Is there a master among the French Aurors?"

Yuria said bitterly: "No, it's a Muggle research expert. He, he is simply... I can't describe how powerful he is."

Daniel was very curious about the Muggle research expert he mentioned. Are there masters in this profession? But he knew this was not a good time to ask.

The others listened to the whole process of the incident in a daze. It was much more complicated than they expected.

"Brother Daniel, did you come directly to us?" Yuria asked.

"You gave me three hidden addresses. I have been to the other two. Matt is very good. He told me that he didn't say a word." Daniel said with a smile.

"Good job, Matt!"

"Well done!"

"Brother Daniel," Uriah asked worriedly, "Matt has been exposed. Will Celeste do something to him?"

Daniel thought for a moment, "I don't think so, but there will definitely be surveillance. You definitely can't contact him in the short term."

Everyone looked at each other in silence, and their originally excited mood turned gloomy.

Uriah was silent, thinking, this series of events made him grow a lot.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said to everyone: "I'm going to surrender."

"What!"

"No, Yuria!"

"Think about what we are doing!"

They all clamored, and a burly wizard shouted angrily: "Let's just gather everyone and fight back head-on."

The two adult wizards looked at each other, and Daniel said: "If you want to confirm Bethenny's condition, don't rush it. There's no need to get yourself involved..."

"No, Daniel." Yuria said calmly. He looked at them one by one, and when everyone stopped talking, he said: "Comrades, this may be an opportunity."

Yuria raised his voice: "Think about it, Celeste tried her best to cover up the lid before, and when she saw that our Reform Association had grown stronger, she wanted to secretly arrest them and get the list of people. But the two traps she set before failed because of the advance notice of Brother Daniel, and she began to panic! This time she also made preparations, and in a sense, she succeeded."

"She caught Matt!"

The eyes of the others fell on him, following his moving figure.

"But she also failed. Just like Daniel said, she might have expected us to rescue her, but she didn't expect so many people to come, and she didn't expect that one of our companions would be among the Aurors assigned to her!"

Uriah kept organizing his thoughts, and he looked at everyone sincerely, "So, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to make a big fuss!"

"You write to the French Magic Daily and the Civet Observer, and I will turn myself in."

"If I am guilty, let the law judge me, and let my crime be remembered by the world!"

...

Felix was organizing his manuscript in the room. He estimated that this meeting could not be held. A small number of Muggle research experts slipped away at the moment of the attack. The rest of the unlucky ones were either sent to the hospital or asked for an explanation after waking up. The French Ministry of Magic can be said to be in a mess, and it has not stopped yet.

What's more, half of the hotel collapsed, how can this meeting be held? Fortunately, no one died.

Celeste was in even bigger trouble. Although she had avoided the worst consequence, the death of the girl named Bethenny, the matter could no longer be covered up. She was very likely to face accountability from the public, the French Ministry of Magic, the American Magical Congress, and the International Confederation of Wizards.

Felix picked up a pile of newspaper clippings at the bedside, which Maxwell had given him. Most of them were reports about Celeste herself, from her political views to her public speeches to the legal systems she had established, and so on...

Especially in one of the headlines, she raised her wand high and gave an impassioned speech. The title was her famous saying, "Law is the cornerstone of order, and we are the cornerstone of law."

Felix threw the clippings into the air, watching them turn into ashes, and gave a mocking smile.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside: panicked shouts and the sound of running footsteps were particularly clear.

Felix showed a puzzled expression. He walked out of the room and came to the lobby on the first floor. The officials of the French Ministry of Magic had incredible expressions on their faces.

Felix grabbed the arm of the young Auror, "What happened?"

"Mr. Hep." He stammered, "Something big happened!"

"Reporters are here, and Muggle research experts from various countries are watching..."

"Watching who?"

"The attackers! In other words, two students from Ilvermorny!"
