Chapter 256 The Broken Magic



In modern society, once a person's true identity is confirmed, finding them is only a matter of time.

Moreover, in the face of the state apparatus, this timeframe will absolutely not exceed three days.

Information technology means that individuals have no privacy whatsoever.

Privacy protection is only between individuals; you cannot pry into the privacy of other individuals.

For the state apparatus, there is absolutely no privacy.

Even your privacy is practically nonexistent in the face of internet giants.

Back then, Pony Ma publicly stated on a forum that Tencent possessed facial images of Chinese people from the past ten years.

His original words were: Tencent has an even more powerful ability, which is that it has almost mastered the facial changes of every Chinese person over the past ten years.

The most alarming statement here is about everyone, because you have to understand that no matter how great Tencent's products are, they can't reach every Chinese person.

Less than six hours after Charles's true identity was confirmed, he was found in a hotel on the outskirts of London.

Charles had installed a monitoring device in his home, and when the device detected several strange men breaking in, he knew that his true identity had been confirmed.

After much deliberation, he gave up resisting and running away.

Because it's useless. The more insiders in the industry know, the more futile it is to try to escape once your true identity is confirmed.

As for confronting the state apparatus and taking others hostage to escape?

Charles would not do that; it would be better to be rational and negotiate with England.

At least with magic at his disposal, he can have some initiative.

"Well done, Daniel."

Since we were the first to find Charles, we will be responsible for the subsequent series of tasks.

We will investigate how Charles acquired magic, what spells he learned, and all the details surrounding it.

Resources are earned through struggle.

Individuals need to strive for resources, and so do departments.

Organizations like mi6 have plenty of people, but not many other things.

If they were able to gather elites to form the Magic and Superpowers Management Department, then they could also disband this department.

Charles was taken to Margate, Kent, southwest of London.

This is a seaside resort town in New England, which is very busy with people coming and going.

Therefore, England has a secret base here.

The level of secrecy here is several levels higher than in London.

England hopes to keep the negotiations with both the Europa League and America as secret as possible beforehand.

“Mr. Charles, please briefly introduce yourself. We are not interested in your life story; we just want to know how you mastered magic.”

Charles is slightly balding, and another striking feature is that he doesn't resemble the traditional image of a programmer as someone who wears glasses and is thin.

Charles, on the contrary, was very sturdy; one could even describe him as strong.

Charles looked up at the man and woman sitting opposite him and said calmly, "This information is valuable; we need to make a deal."

Seeing that the two people opposite him did not react, Charles continued:

"If I don't return within twelve hours, I set up automatic email sending in an anonymous email address."

All information related to this magical event will be sent to the CIA's official email address on the dark web at the designated time.

Charles's idea was simple: even if the English government wanted to cooperate with him, they would have to offer corresponding incentives.

Charles continued, "And don't even think about finding the email address."

I have completely wiped out all the relevant data. Even the most skilled hacker couldn't recover the information within twelve hours.

Daniel finally couldn't hold back any longer. "What do you want?"

Charles: "I need a wand, and the amount of information I will give you will depend on the quality of the wand."

If it's the wand Merlin used two years ago, then I'm willing to tell you everything I know.

Daniel was speechless: "Merlin's wand is in Brussels, and no one in all of England can agree to this request."

As for the other wands, tell us what you know first, and then I'll give them to you.

The ceiling of this enclosed room was covered with cameras in all four corners.

Every word they uttered and every micro-expression they made was analyzed by a group of people in another room.

Charles's remarks surprised many.

The person in charge of the work outside immediately gave the order: "Find a magic wand, the finest kind."

"What I mean is, finding one of those well-made, cheap-looking wands. I know we don't have any wands."

Some experts find this interesting, suggesting that the conditions Charles proposed imply what he most desires.

If you can cast spells without a wand, why do you still need a wand?

Furthermore, wands have no function in Merlin's system, so why would Charles make this particular request?

Daniel heard the instructions over his headset: "Agree to his request, we'll get the goods from London immediately."

It only takes about an hour to drive from London to Margate if you drive fast.

It's even faster by plane.

Daniel said, "Could you demonstrate the magic you possess first?"

Charles shook his head and said, "I need to see the wand first."

"And don't try to fool me with fakes; I can sense fake wands."

Silence fell in the room. Bertie and Daniel took turns trying to talk to Charles, but Charles remained uncooperative.
