Chapter 442 Meeting

In the meeting room of the Freemasons, all the members of the Freemasons were sitting on both sides of the meeting table and staring at Mike, who was smiling at the head of the seat.

This was the second collective meeting in the past two months. Compared with the situation in the past when there might not be a meeting for several months, this frequency was too high, which made all the members sitting here look solemn.

Especially Benjamin, he looked overworked and his face was very ugly.

In the past half month, he worked overtime almost every day to sell magic cloth, magic liquid and those captives.

Especially the group of captives, these people began to make various requests after discovering the existence of such a good person as Benjamin.

The faces of some of them were ugly!

Under such torture, Benjamin gradually lost patience with these captives. He began to use these captives as coolies to produce in the factory according to the policy originally set by Mike.

This move made those who he had helped before even more disgusted with him, and also made Benjamin more determined that what he did was right.

Some people are not worthy of your kindness!

After dealing with these things, Benjamin thought he could have a good rest for a while.

But he didn't expect Mike to notify them to hold a general meeting again!

This made Benjamin panic, fearing that Mike would throw some difficult work to him.

However, Mike, who was sitting at the head, obviously didn't know what his members were thinking. Seeing that everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, he smiled and clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, everyone, smile, why are you so serious?"

Hearing this, everyone in the meeting room laughed.

However, their smiles were all fake, which looked very ugly.

Shaking his head, Mike realized that he had scared everyone, and then explained:

"Well, actually I asked everyone to come here this time to share the joy and celebrate. After all, our magic cloth and magic liquid sales plan was very successful! Oh, by the way! Speaking of this, I have to praise George and Fred. You two did a great job! Without your help, our sales in France would not have been so smooth!"

Mike gave a thumbs up to the Weasley brothers who had just returned from France in the corner of the conference room.

The latter did not speak, they just smiled, and then raised their thumbs in return in tacit understanding.

"Our international business is now on the right track. What follows is steady improvement and maintaining profits.

There are a large number of outstanding talents within the Los Santos Group who can participate in these tasks. Penelope, you will only need to make some decisive decisions later.

But remember, we must not make the mistake of amateurs leading professionals. When it comes to finance, they are the ones who really know the business."

Penelope nodded, and the floating feather pen beside her quickly recorded Mike's words on the notebook.

"In addition, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will open soon. Everyone should be clear about the current situation. Voldemort and the Death Eaters are acting more and more recklessly. The difficulties we will face will become greater and greater.

So I won't say much more. Let's all work hard together.

Well, that's all I have to say. If you have anything else to discuss, please bring it up. If not, I have already asked the house elves to prepare a banquet. Let's go and celebrate!"

After speaking, Mike began to clean up his desk. In his opinion, there was a high probability that his members would not have any major problems. In fact, this was indeed the case. Others at the conference table had already stood up happily.

However, plans can never keep up with changes. Just when everyone was happily preparing to go outdoors to attend the banquet, a serious and familiar voice suddenly came.

"Mike, I have one more thing to say."

Mike was stunned for a moment, turned his head in the direction of the voice, and saw that Franklin's face had a very rare solemn expression.

So, Mike also put away his smile and said seriously:

"What's the matter?"

"It's a Muggle matter. Do you remember that we were doing justice among Muggles some time ago?"

Mike nodded.

This matter was a big deal at the time, and almost most of the Muggles in Ying Country knew that there were people with super powers rescuing the victims.

Theoretically, with the current capabilities of the Ministry of Magic, they could not suppress this matter, but no one knew what means the Ministry of Magic used. They actually persuaded the Muggle Prime Minister to help them limit the flow of information.

With the help and rumor-busting of the Muggle Prime Minister, the story about super powers saving the victims also slowly disappeared in Ying Country.

After thinking for a moment, Mike asked:

"Has there been any changes in this matter?"

"It's like this. Recently, the Muggle Prime Minister's people are looking for us everywhere, and even some black people in suits have found my house!"

Franklin's words caused an uproar in the meeting room.

You know, facing the malice of the Muggle society, they themselves will certainly be fine, after all, they are all wizards with supernatural powers, but their families are different!

If the Muggle government is really crazy enough to want to find them hiding behind the scenes through their Muggle families, then they really have no way to deal with it.

Seeing that everyone's emotions are getting more and more excited, Franklin continued with a serious expression:

"But they don't seem to have any malice. On the contrary, their attitude can even be regarded as very submissive! But I'm sure that their target must be us!"

Franklin waved his wand, and an ordinary A4 paper flew out, with a sentence written on it-'Hello, powerful wizards, we have no malice, we just want to see you. '

"This is what the group of people secretly put in my house. I found it when I checked the house after I learned the news."

As he said, Franklin put the A4 paper on the table, and everyone came forward and kept passing it around.

But after watching it, everyone's faces looked unhappy. Facing this situation, they really didn't have any good solution. In the end, they could only turn their eyes to Mike, who was sitting in the first seat and thinking with his eyes closed.

The conference room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, Mike slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone expressionlessly.

"I have understood the situation clearly, and I also know what you are most worried about now." Mike looked around at everyone and said straightforwardly, "But please rest assured, as we swore when we joined the Freemasons, we will always be a whole. So I declare that the Masonic Secret Realm will now be open to your parents and family. If you feel that their lives and safety have been threatened, you can take them to the Masonic Secret Realm for refuge. I will build new residential areas and living facilities here to ensure their safety.

Of course, this is only the last choice. I believe that your parents should have their own work and lives. It is obviously impossible to ask them to abandon everything they have now, especially when it is still unknown whether the danger exists. So on the basis of the previous foundation, I will also send staff from the Los Santos Group to install basic alarms and defense systems for your houses in the Muggle world, and at the same time provide your family with a certain degree of protection to ensure that they have enough time to escape to the Masonic Secret Realm when danger comes." As soon as

Mike finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally gloomy and tense atmosphere in the conference room was swept away.

Everyone present was not a fool. They were very touched that Mike put their family's safety first. If it was a stupider and cold-blooded leader, he might not care about the safety of his subordinates' families at all, but only care about his own and the organization's interests.

It was an honor to follow such a boss!

Everyone thought so at the same time, and looked at Mike with gratitude.

But Mike obviously didn't have time to enjoy these. His expression was still solemn. He stood up and frowned and said:

"You don't have to look at me like this. These are what I should do. In addition, in addition to ensuring the personal safety of your family members, we must also find out what the attitude of the Muggles is and where they got our information from. These are also very important things. Benjamin, this matter is left to you and Franklin. You go and test it and find out the other party's intentions. When necessary, you can even reveal your identity and use spells. In this mission, I give you unlimited power to fire."

Benjamin shook his head painfully. He knew very well that his rare rest did not exist again.

Franklin, who was standing aside, was embarrassed and said with a tangled expression:

"Mike, I am very grateful that you can give us unlimited firepower. This is a manifestation of your trust in us, but the Ministry of Magic..."

"Don't worry about the Ministry of Magic! They are in trouble now and have no time to care about you."

Mike interrupted him directly. Franklin nodded silently and sat back in his seat.

Mike supported the table with both hands and said to everyone:

"I know you are all worried about your families now, so the banquet will be cancelled for the time being. Now, you should go home quickly." As soon as

these words came out, everyone's faces were all happy, and they all fled out of the meeting room. Benjamin and Franklin went to prepare for the next task with bitter faces.

Watching everyone leave, Mike was also slightly relieved, slowly sat down and began to pack his things.

But at this moment, the two Weasley brothers suddenly came to Mike.

"Hey! Brother, are you okay?"

"Stupid George, how can Mike be okay after such a tricky thing happened?"

"Stupid Fred, what are you talking about! Uh, okay, I admit that I was wrong. Mike, what I want to say is that you don't have to worry too much about this matter. After all, this is just a small problem in the Muggle world. I believe that with the abilities of Benjamin and Franklin, they will be able to handle this matter."

Looking at the two Weasley brothers who sang the same tune and used very clumsy means to comfort him, Mike also showed a smile on his face. He nodded slightly and said:

"Well, I hope the facts will develop as you said. In addition, is there anything else you came to me for?"

The Weasley brothers looked at each other, all with surprised expressions. They didn't expect Mike to see through their tricks at once.

"Well, I can't hide anything from you." George spread his hands and said, "We do have something to tell you." Fred

said,

"In fact, this is an invitation. You may not know that Dumbledore put Harry in our house some time ago. Now Harry has been in our house for more than a week. We all like him. It just so happens that Harry's birthday is coming soon, so we want to hold a birthday party for him. And you are his good friend, so we must invite you."

Mike's brows frowned again. Harry at this stage has not mastered the brain block technique yet. It is really a terrible idea to gather together like this.

He almost instinctively wanted to persuade the Weasley brothers to cancel the party, but the Weasley brothers in front of him seemed to see something from Mike's expression. They said first:

"It's called a birthday party, but it's actually just a super small dinner. In addition to the people from the Order of the Phoenix, we only invited you and Hermione, so there should be no danger. Hurry up and agree!"

Facing the two pairs of sincere eyes of George and Fred, Mike really couldn't say no.

So, after hesitating again and again, Mike finally agreed to the other party's request.

Then the next scene that shocked Mike happened. After completing their goals, George and Fred ran away without looking back, leaving Mike in the empty conference room.

Looking at the backs of the two, Mike, who came to his senses, smiled faintly, said nothing, picked up the documents he had packed before and walked out of the conference room.

But as soon as he walked to the door, a voice behind him called him again.

"Wait, did you forget something?"

Mike turned his head and saw Zhou Hong with his hands on his chest, looking at him with dissatisfaction.

In just a moment, Mike reacted. Before going to the Avery Secret Realm, he had agreed with Zhou Hong that he would test his transformation after returning, but he turned around and forgot about it.

"Oh, isn't this Zhou Hong? Why are you walking without making any sound!" Mike patted his head and said with a smile, "I was just planning to find you, now is the perfect time, let's go."
