Chapter 93 Gaining Some Fame (Fourth Update)

Of course, unifying the entire wizarding world is not an easy task; it requires careful planning.

The first thing he needed to do was to make a little bit of a name for himself in the wizarding world, for example, by sending a dark wizard who was wanted by the magic ministries of various countries around the world to prison.

"Are there any Aurors here? I've captured an evil dark wizard!"

Li Chuan, carrying the unconscious Old Manu, walked loudly towards the front desk of the Ministry of Magic's main hall.

Tom Foley, the owner of the herbalist shop in Diagon Alley, caught a dark wizard. This gossip immediately attracted the attention of all the wizards in the hall, and they all turned their gazes toward Li Chuan and Old Manu.

"Oh, Merlin, isn't that Manu Angel, the dark wizard who's been wanted for over twenty years!"

"I heard he was wanted by the Ministries of Magic of fifteen countries, but I never expected that Tom Foley would actually catch him."

"Mr. Foley is a member of the Foley family of the Twenty-Eight Saints. I've long seen that he's no ordinary person."

Manu Angel, the dark wizard, although not comparable to Grindelwald or Voldemort, was still a dark wizard who managed to escape the Ministry of Magic's wanted list for twenty years, and was quite famous in the wizarding world.

So when Li Chuan appeared carrying Old Manu, some of the older wizards quickly recognized him.

Upon seeing this, the witch at the front desk immediately picked up a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, and then gently tapped it with her wand. The paper instantly folded into a paper airplane and flew towards the magic elevator.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Theseus will be here shortly."

Theseus Scamander, currently the Chief Auror of the British Ministry of Magic, is also a war hero of World War I and Newt Scamander's older brother.

Information about Theseus Scamander flashed through Li Chuan's mind, including memories of Tom Foley and his past life watching the movie.

"I'm relieved that Mr. Theseus has come in person!"

Li Chuan pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a male wizard carrying a magic camera and a brown-haired female wizard broke through the ranks of wizards and squeezed in front of Li Chuan.

"Hello Mr. Foley, I'm Lilith, a reporter from the Daily Prophet. Why were you attacked by Manu Angel, and how did you subdue him?"

"Oh, this all started when I returned to the family manor this morning. This morning I..."

When reporters approached him, Li Chuan calmly recounted the lies he had fabricated.

Basically, he accidentally discovered that old Manu seemed to be preparing to attack a Muggle, and out of a sense of justice, he stopped him, thus starting a wizard duel between the two.

Fortunately, he ultimately prevailed, using a disarming spell to knock old Manu's wand away and winning the final victory.

After Li Chuan recounted the entire process, thunderous applause erupted in the magic hall.

Many of them didn't care that Li Chuan saved a Muggle; what they cared about was Li Chuan's account of his spectacular magical duel with the dark wizard Manu Angel.

Most people in the wizarding world admire strength, and the more powerful a wizard is, the more popular they are.

Li Chuan's original form, Tom Foley, was one of the Twenty-Eight Sacred Races, which would give him special advantages. In addition, he defeated the well-known dark wizard Manu Angel in a duel.

"Excuse me, everyone, please make way!"

At that moment, a voice clearly amplified by a spell rang out, followed by a handsome wizard in his thirties, accompanied by several Aurors wielding wands who dispersed the crowd and approached Li Chuan.

"Hello, I am Theseus Scamander. On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I thank you for helping us capture Manu Angel!"

Theseus carefully observed old Manu and, upon confirming that he was indeed the wanted man, reached out to thank Li Chuan.

Li Chuan handed Old Manu over to the Aurors, then shook hands with Theseus politely and said:

"This is what I should do as a wizard, and it's nothing compared to your contributions in World War I, Mr. Theseus!"

Although World War I was a military war between Muggles, it also involved the wizarding world. It should be noted that apart from pure-blood wizards, most wizards' parents, or one of their parents, were ordinary people.

Therefore, during World War I, many wizards tried their best to help the Muggles of their own country and fight against wizards of the opposing country without being discovered by the Muggles.

Theseus Scamander rose to fame in that battle because of his powerful magic, becoming a renowned war hero.

"Snap!"

Just as Li Chuan and Theseus shook hands, the wizard from the Daily Prophet also pressed the shutter.

After Old Manu was taken away by Theseus, Li Chuan was received by Tokiel Travers, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and received a reward of one thousand Galleons.

The next morning, Barry went to Diagon Alley and bought the Daily Prophet for the day. The most prominent feature on the newspaper was the magical photograph of him shaking hands with Theseus.

Below that stands a striking title:

"The untold story of the evil dark wizard Manu Angel and the righteous wizard Tom Foley, a tale that even war hero Theseus Scamander found deeply moving!"

The report contained the story fabricated by Li Chuan, but perhaps to enhance the news effect, Daily Prophet reporter Lilith embellished it extensively, making it appear somewhat exaggerated.

For example, there are many more internal monologues between Li Chuan and Old Manu during their battles, such as saying things like, "For the sake of justice in the wizarding world, I will stop you even if it means death."

"Although it's a bit exaggerated, the image has been established, and overall it's not bad."

After putting away the newspaper and instructing Barry to look after the house, Li Chuan once again Apparated to the Ministry of Magic.

This time when he came, he clearly found that he had attracted a lot of attention, especially from some young witches, who looked at him with more admiration.

"Good morning, Mr. Foley. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The receptionist witch's eyes lit up when she saw Li Chuan, and her tone became noticeably gentler than before.

Li Chuan smiled:

"I want to rent a door key."

"Please register here. Oh, Mr. Foley, are you going to New York? I've heard it's been rather unsettled there lately. Please be careful."

The receptionist witch noticed that Li Chuan had filled in New York as the address and offered a reminder.

"I have a friend over there, and since the shop isn't too busy right now, I thought I'd go visit him."

Li Chuan gave a perfunctory reply, took the stamped registration form, and stepped into the magic elevator.

Today is December 2nd. If he remembers correctly, in just a few days, Newt Scamander, the magizoologist, will end his year-long trip and head to New York.
