He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 193 A Fair and square duel (Third update)

The following morning, at the French Ministry of Magic.

"Tom, we've set up people at Père Lachaise Cemetery. We'll arrest Grindelwald as soon as he shows up. You'd better not risk going there."

Tina offered some words of advice to Li Chuan with some concern.

After receiving accurate information from Li Chuan yesterday, Tina immediately returned to the French Ministry of Magic.

As for Li Chuan, who had helped capture dark wizards and Grindelwald, the higher-ups in the Ministry of Magic naturally trusted him, so they immediately dispatched a large number of Aurors to ambush him at Père Lachaise Cemetery.

"No, there might be Grindelwald's followers in the Ministry of Magic. Even if you have prepared an ambush, it could still be leaked. If I get any information after I get there, I can notify you immediately."

Rest assured, maintaining the safety of the entire wizarding world is the responsibility of every wizard!

Li Chuan appeared dignified and fearless, as if he were unafraid of death.

Standing next to Tina is Theseus Scamander, the Auror Director of the British Ministry of Magic, Newt's brother, a war hero of World War I, and the overall leader of this operation.

Seeing that Li Chuan, a non-Ministry of Magic member, possessed such profound thoughts, they couldn't help but show admiration.

"Mr. Foley, thank you so much for your help this time. After this is all over, I will definitely suggest applying for the Order of Merlin, Third Class, for you. Your contribution deserves it!"

"It's all the usual thing. I'll go now, and I'll come find you if anything happens."

Li Chuan nodded, then Apparated away from the French Ministry of Magic.

He was not optimistic about Theseus's plan to send men to stake out Père Lachaise Cemetery in advance, because he knew that Grindelwald had no intention of holding a secret gathering at all.

In the afternoon, Grindelwald would use his powerful magic to announce the gathering. Countless black cloths would be wrapped around the entire city of Paris, and any wizard who touched one of the cloths would know the time and place of the gathering.

In other words, Grindelwald had long anticipated that the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic would come to the gathering, and that he would use those Aurors to incite hatred among wizards towards the Law of Secrecy and towards the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, the location and time he leaked in advance would not actually affect Grindelwald; it was just that the Ministry of Magic thought they had gained the upper hand.

In a grove of trees on the outskirts of Paris, Li Chuan appeared amidst a series of crackling sounds, then disappeared again after taking out his door key.

After returning to the Foley family mansion, he Apparated to Diagon Alley and used the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron to arrive at Hogsmeade Village.

If his guess is correct, Dumbledore is most likely at the Hog's Head at this time.

Because he had already learned from Theseus that morning that yesterday afternoon that the Director of the Department of Law Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic, who was Theseus's superior, was Toquill Travers.

Dumbledore's teaching authority at Hogwarts has been temporarily suspended, and he has been fitted with monitoring bracelets on his hands, meaning any spell he casts will be monitored by the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, a dozen or so Aurors were assigned to monitor Dumbledore's movements 24 hours a day.

The reason is that Torquay Travers suspects that Dumbledore had an affair with Grindelwald because the two had a very special relationship when they were young.

Furthermore, Dumbledore, as the only wizard who could rival Grindelwald, refused to accept his orders to go to France to help capture Grindelwald.

Li Chuan believes that it's not just about that; there are also some political factors at play.

Dumbledore's reputation in the wizarding world is so great that many wizards feel he should become Minister for Magic in the UK.

He should even hold a more important position in the International Association of Wizards, rather than just being a professor at a school.

This poses a significant threat to Torquay Travers, who is likely to succeed as Minister of Magic.

So even though he knew that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had no connection, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity to smear Dumbledore.

That's why Dumbledore values ​​Li Chuan and Newt, because the Ministry of Magic not only doesn't help him, but always pushes him away.

"As expected, there are quite a few Aurors here."

After Li Chuan emerged from the fireplace at the Pig's Head, he immediately spotted Dumbledore sitting at the bar drinking, along with a dozen or so Aurors who were intentionally or unintentionally watching him.

Instead of immediately heading forward, he turned and left the Hog's Head pub, then went to the huge Quidditch pitch between Hogsmeade Village and Hogwarts Castle.

His purpose in coming here this time was not really to kill Dumbledore. If he really wanted to kill Dumbledore, the best way would have been to sneak into Hogwarts Castle at night and carry out a close-quarters assassination.

Because Hogwarts Castle has a very powerful anti-Apparition spell, even Dumbledore, before he had the Phoenix, could not Apparate, allowing him to maximize his advantage.

His real purpose was to use this battle with Dumbledore to make the wizarding world understand just how powerful the Mystic was.

Therefore, this battle must be fair and aboveboard, and it must have an audience to broadcast it to. It cannot be carried out in secret, and it is best not to actually harm innocent wizards to prevent damage to one's reputation.

After much thought, only the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts was the most suitable.

Because Apparition can be performed here, it's fair to both Dumbledore and him, and the aftermath of the battle won't affect the students of Hogsmeade Village and the castle.

Finally, there are the young wizards and professors of Hogwarts, who can witness his battle with Dumbledore from inside the castle, ensuring the story will spread afterward.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

He created a shadow clone and sent it to Hogsmeade Village, while his main body waited at the Quidditch pitch, preparing for his upcoming battle with Dumbledore.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Albus Dumbledore?"

Li Chuan's shadow clone entered the Pighead Bar and approached Dumbledore, who was drinking, from behind, asking a question.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore turned to look at Li Chuan, whose face was hidden by a hood:

"It's me, sir. I don't think I recognize you?"

Meanwhile, the Aurors monitoring Dumbledore all turned their gazes toward Li Chuan, cautiously drawing their wands.

Their mission was to monitor Dumbledore and see if they could find evidence of his collusion with Grindelwald, so they were especially wary of any unfamiliar wizards who approached Dumbledore.

Li Chuan slowly took off his hood and smiled:

"Maybe this is how you'll get to know me."

"Did Grindelwald send you to kill me?"

Seeing Li Chuan's appearance, Dumbledore was not surprised at all. Through his undercover work within the Dark Wizards, he already knew that Grindelwald would send a mysterious man to kill him.
