Seeing Barty Crouch, who was always arrogant and looked down upon him, Fudge was startled at first, and then, as if he had thought of something, a false smile appeared on Fudge's face. He quickly stretched out his hands and said, "Oh, it's Barty Crouch. You're waiting here so early. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Barty Crouch shook hands with Fudge gently, then quickly pulled his hand back. After Fudge opened the door and the two entered the office, Barty Crouch said, "It is like this, Minister Fudge. Recently, perhaps because of my age, I feel that I am unable to do many things. So, today I am here to say goodbye."

Hearing Barty Crouch's words, Fudge was ecstatic and silently gave Lucius Malfoy a thumbs up in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be puzzled and asked:

"Farewell? Are you going to take a vacation, go out and relax, and rest for a while? Well, there have been a lot of things happening in the Ministry recently! If I wasn't the Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom and couldn't leave, I would also want to take a rest."

Hearing Fudge's words, Barty Crouch said expressionlessly, "No, Minister Fudge, I think you misunderstood! In fact, I came here today to resign. I want to resign from my position as Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic. Please find someone else!"

Hearing Barty Crouch's words, Fudge tried hard not to laugh out loud, with a shocked expression on his face, and said: "Oh my God, Barty Crouch, this... this is so sudden! I can't accept it! You know, you are the backbone of our British Ministry of Magic! How can you just leave there?!"

At this point, Fudge could no longer hold back, so he turned his back to Barty Crouch and grinned for a long time before he adjusted his expression, turned around, and said with a look of regret: "Are you really not going to consider it again, Barty Crouch? I think you can still work for another ten years, no problem!"

Barty Crouch shook his head and refused:

"No, Minister Fudge, I have made up my mind. Please allow me to resign as Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement at the British Ministry of Magic!"

Seeing Barty Crouch's determination, Fudge finally felt relieved and symbolically tried to persuade him to stay:

"How about this, if you feel unwell recently, you can change to an easier position first. How about the position of Director of the Department of Magical Sports and Games?"

Hearing what Fudge said, Barty Crouch showed a smile on his face, and suddenly nodded quickly and said, "Since Minister Fudge has asked me to stay so graciously, it would seem a bit ungrateful if I don't agree. Well then, I will go to the Department of Magical Games and Sports and work for a few more years!"

Seeing Barty Crouch agreed immediately, Fudge was stunned and felt a little overwhelmed.

But since he was the one who asked, Fudge was too embarrassed to go back on his word, so he could only force a smile and say, "Well, if you're willing to stay, it's a blessing for our British Ministry of Magic! Haha..."

Finally, watching Barty Crouch leave, Fudge cursed in his heart: This old fox! When the officials from the British Ministry of Magic walked into the meeting one by one, they gathered together, whispering in twos and threes, asking each other what they thought about Harold's plan to open a new bank.

At this moment, Fudge, the British Minister of Magic, walked in accompanied by Umbridge. As soon as he sat down, Fudge said, "Okay, everyone, be quiet. We will start the meeting now."

At this moment, Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic, suddenly said, "Mr. Minister, Mr. Barty Crouch seems to have been delayed by something and has not arrived yet. Should we wait for him?"

Seeing Scrimgeour stand up and speak for Barty Crouch, Fudge's brows suddenly frowned, feeling betrayed.

Then, Fudge looked at Scrimgeour coldly and said expressionlessly: "Speaking of this, let me first announce a new personnel transfer in our Ministry of Magic."

As soon as Fudge said this, there was an uproar at the scene. All the wizards present gathered together, whispering and talking.

Fudge looked at everything in front of him and sneered in his heart.

Then, Fudge raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he said, "However, after my repeated requests, Barty Crouch finally agreed to stay temporarily. Next, Barty Crouch will serve as the Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports of the British Ministry of Magic!"

Then, before anyone could speak again, Fudge continued:

"As for the position of Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement left by Barty Crouch, after careful consideration, I have decided that the current Director of the Floo Network Office and former Director of the Auror Office, Thomas Revault, will temporarily take up the position!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became abuzz with discussion again.

At this moment, Umbridge opened the door of the conference room, and then Thomas Raver, who had recovered from his injuries at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, walked in step by step, wearing a trench coat and a top hat, a typical Auror outfit.

At the same time, Fudge also spoke on the stage: "I think we should give a round of applause now to welcome Thomas Revell back to the big family of the British Ministry of Magic after he has recovered from his injuries!"

After hearing Fudge's words, there was sparse applause from the audience, as if everyone had not yet recovered from the news.

From being the obscure and ignored Head of the Floo Network Office to becoming the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the most powerful and influential position in the British Ministry of Magic, it is no exaggeration to say that Thomas Revell has risen to fame overnight.

Thomas Revaux walked step by step to Scrimgeour's side, which was the position where Barty Crouch used to sit. Christine looked at Thomas Revaux in shock as he was about to sit down.

Seeing this, Fudge raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke again: "Now, I propose that we applaud Thomas Revell again for his heroic performance in repelling the Witch Party in Gringotts! It can be said that Thomas Revell was defending the glory of the British Ministry of Magic with his life at that moment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was thunderous applause from the audience!

Fudge looked at the scene in front of him and smiled with great satisfaction.

And Thomas Revo also smiled with satisfaction.
