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

Chapter 97 Helping Out (Third Update)

Newt's gaze towards Li Chuan immediately changed upon hearing his words.

If he had previously viewed Li Chuan merely as a kind-hearted wizard, now the way he looked at Li Chuan was as if he were looking at a confidant.

Because his philosophy since childhood has always been: "There's nothing strange about living things; it's just that people's minds are too narrow."

"Let's see if I don't give you a good beating!"

Li Chuan could certainly sense Newt's obvious change in attitude.

He said that on purpose because he knew Newt's personality. He wasn't interested in Newt's magical creatures because he didn't have the ability to bring them to other worlds for the time being.

However, he was very concerned about Newt's incredibly powerful Unseen Stretching Charm.

Ordinary wizards, like him and old Manu, could only create a space of a few dozen square meters at most using the Unseen Stretch Charm. But Newt created a small world directly inside his own box.

It is evident that his understanding of the Unseen Stretching Charm is probably unmatched by anyone in the entire wizarding world.

Once you've built a good relationship with Newt, you can use the excuse that you also want to keep some magical creatures to ask Newt for advice on the Unseen Stretching Charm.

"Do you know about horned beasts? I found a pair in the Far East before, and they may be the last pair of horned beasts that are capable of breeding."

"You actually managed to find horned beasts. I thought they were extinct. I heard that horned beasts have hides that are even tougher than fire dragons, so most spells are ineffective against them."

"Yes, they are naturally aggressive. Many giants like to ride on their backs, trying to tame them, but they are always thrown off and end up covered in injuries."

"Haha, I didn't know there was such a thing. This is so interesting."

They walked and talked, from magical creatures to Hogwarts, and then discovered they were both Hufflepuffs, which instantly made them even closer.

Tina, who was holding the two of them, was speechless as she listened to their happy conversation. They were about to face a congressional trial, yet they were still so carefree.

To be honest, listening to the two of them talk about those interesting stories about magical creatures and their optimistic attitude was quite inspiring to her.

The frustration I felt during this period, due to being dismissed from my job and transferred to the wand license office, has eased somewhat.

And so, the three entered the Capitol and took the magic elevator to the Major Crimes Investigation Division.

"The Wizarding Federation has threatened to send a delegation; they believe yesterday's attack was related to Grindelwald!"

Serafina Picqueli, the president of the Magical Congress, is discussing the incident of yesterday's attack on Muggles by an unidentified magical creature with senators and Aurors.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Tina walked in with Li Chuan and Newt.

"Ms. Goldstein, I have made my situation very clear. You are no longer an Auror."

When Piqué saw that it was Tina, he frowned and said impatiently.

Tina tried to explain, but was interrupted by Picqueli again before she could even open her mouth.

"This office is for serious matters only, get out!"

"Yes, sir."

Upon hearing this, Tina had no choice but to pull Li Chuan and Newt around, intending to walk towards the door.

At this moment, Li Chuan's gaze was actually fixed on a middle-aged male wizard behind Piqueli.

Because he knew that the middle-aged wizard was ostensibly Percival Graves, the U.S. Secretary of State for Security, but was actually Grindelwald in disguise.

The real Percival Graves was probably killed by Grindelwald a long time ago.

"Wait!"

Just as the three were about to leave the Major Crimes Investigation Division, Piqueli seemed to suddenly remember something. She pointed at Li Chuan and asked:

"Are you Tom Foley?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Chairman Piqueli."

Li Chuan paused for a moment, then laughed.

Piqueli nodded:

"As expected of a member of the Foley family, I heard that you captured the dark wizard Manu Angel, who once killed one of our very fine Aurors."

Very good, I thank you on behalf of the Magical Congress of the United States.

"In a little while, you can have Ms. Goldstein take you to collect the bounty for Manu Angel."

"That's what I should do."

Li Chuan nodded. He hadn't expected to receive another sum of Galleons in the United States.

That's true. Old Manu is wanted by the Ministries of Magic in fifteen countries. If he were willing to travel to all fifteen countries, he could probably collect fifteen bounties.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. He doesn't really need Galleons right now. The important thing is that since Picqueri recognized him, it means that he already has a tiny bit of international fame.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

After leaving the Major Crimes Division, Tina apologized to Li Chuan. She was now completely certain that Li Chuan and Newt did not know each other and that their encounter there was just a coincidence.

After taking Li Chuan to collect the bounty, she told him he could leave.

"I think I'll wait for Newt to come along."

Li Chuan definitely won't leave now. He just built a good relationship with Newt, and besides, Newt will be acquitted soon.

Seeing that Li Chuan insisted, Tina didn't say anything more and led the two of them to the wand license office.

However, just as Tina was taking Newt's statement, Grindelwald, disguised as the Minister of Security, arrived and, after some questioning, made Tina open Newt's trunk.

It turned out that Newt's box didn't contain magical creatures, but rather a pile of bread.

It turns out that because Newt's trunk and Jacob's trunk looked exactly alike, they grabbed the wrong one when they had a fight in the alley in front of the bank.

Li Chuan witnessed the process, but he didn't warn anyone.

Since there are no magical creatures in Newt's box, his accusations of keeping magical creatures without permission and releasing them to cause trouble cannot be established, and therefore he has been acquitted.

"I can't believe you didn't erase that bastard's memory. I'm doomed if anyone questions me about it later."

On the street outside the Magic Congress, Tina said with a bit of a headache.

She could have used the fact that Newt hadn't erased his Muggle memories to continue arresting him, but considering that Newt had taken the wrong box and they needed to get it back first, she hesitated and didn't bring it up.

"Don't worry, I'll find my box. It's just that your laws here are so outdated. They ban all magical creatures. They're actually quite cute."

Newt replied to Tina, then turned to Li Chuan and thanked him:

"Thank you, Tom. This had nothing to do with you in the first place, but I dragged you into it."

"Newt, don't say that. I'm actually traveling, and it's quite interesting."

Li Chuan smiled slightly.

Thank you to Yixiangqingyuan, Esdreel, and Yezibotao for the donations!
