Upon hearing Fudge's answer, Amos Diggory looked at Cedric with a face full of despair.

Just then, Arthur Weasley stepped forward again, and said righteously:

“Minister Fuki, if we stand idly by and watch a young wizard be killed right before our eyes, then everyone present will be a murderer!”

Well said! Upon hearing Arthur Weasley's words, Fuggie mentally gave Arthur Weasley a thumbs up!

But a hint of hesitation appeared on his face. Seeing this, Arthur Weasley continued:

“Minister Fukichi, there is one more thing you may not have figured out.”

Hearing Arthur Weasley's words, Fuggie said with some confusion:

“Oh? Mr. Weasley, please tell me more.”

Arthur Weasley glanced at the confident Rozier opposite him and said meaningfully:

“Minister Fudge, combating the Marauders is not solely a matter for the British Ministry of Magic! There is no reason for the British Ministry of Magic to bear such heavy losses alone! Even if we were to go to war with the Marauders, it should be a joint action by the Ministries of Magic of all countries!”

"Moreover, if we really have to suffer huge casualties to defeat the Lich Party today, then who will guarantee the safety of the British wizarding community after today? The Lich Party is not the only dark wizard in Britain!"

Chapter 124 Oath

Upon hearing Arthur Weasley's words, Fudge thought to himself, "Good heavens! I never expected that you, Weasley, with your honest and kind face, would think more comprehensively than I do!"

But Fuji's face was filled with righteous indignation as he spoke with righteous indignation:

"As the Minister for Magic of England! If I agree to the demands of the Lich Party, wouldn't that be compromising with them?!"

But Arthur Weasley shook his head repeatedly and said:

"No, no! Minister Fuji, we're doing this to save an innocent boy! After all, we can always catch more wizards, but if that boy loses his life, he'll never come back!"

Hearing this, Fukichi felt the timing was about right. After looking around, he said with a look of annoyance:

“I still can’t make this decision! I can’t just watch UMNO leave! How about this, let’s hear everyone’s opinions and vote!”

At this point, Fukichi paused, as if pondering for a moment, before continuing:

"Raise your hand if you disagree with exchanging shamans from the Malay Party, and can stand by and watch Amos's children leave us because of this war!"

Upon hearing this, the Aurors and wizards from the Ministry of Magic present reacted with varying expressions.

Upon hearing the first half of Fudge's sentence, some Aurors were eager to raise their hands, including Rufus Scrimgeour. But when Fudge uttered the second half, even Rufus Scrimgeour lost the courage to raise his hand.

Goodness, if anyone dares to raise their hand, they'll probably never be able to stay in the Ministry of Magic again!

After waiting a moment and seeing that no one raised their hand, Fukichi breathed a sigh of relief, but outwardly said with a regretful expression:

"Since this is everyone's decision, although I am the Minister of Magic of England, I cannot go against the will of the people. Since everyone agrees to exchange the wizards of the Lich Party for that child, then this is the only way!"

"Speak," Fukichi said, shaking his head with a sigh.

Amos Diggory's face was streaked with tears, but he thanked Fudge repeatedly with a look of delight, and then turned to express his gratitude to the many wizards from the Ministry of Magic behind him.

Fuji, on the other hand, walked back to Rozier's side with a serious expression.

Rozier, however, looked at Fugui with amusement and calmly said:

"Well, have you made a decision, Minister Fukichi?"

Fukichi said loudly with an indignant expression:

"Don't be smug! This is not a compromise! As Minister for Magic of England, I have a duty to protect every wizard! If we meet again, we will still bring you back and imprison you in Azkaban!"

Hearing Fuji's words, Rozier smiled dismissively, then said softly:

"Really? Would you like me to provide you with information on some of our UMNO's strongholds in London, Minister Fuki?"

Upon hearing Rozier's words, Fugui's face turned pale, unsure how to respond.

But Rozier laughed it off, ignoring Fugui, and turned to say:

"Bring that doll over here!"

Austin Greengrass shoved Cedric from behind, pushing him toward Rozier.

Rozier looked at Fugui, his smile fading, and said with a sharp gaze:

Where are our people?!

Seeing this, Fudge returned to Rufus Scrimgeour's side and instructed him:

"Bring everyone out!"

But Rufus Scrimgeour was clearly still somewhat unwilling, and seeing this, Fuji gritted his teeth and said:

"Don't you think you've caused enough trouble for the Ministry of Magic? Or do you have a way to safely rescue that child? Otherwise, do as I say!"

Upon hearing this, Rufus Scrimgeour clenched his fist tightly, but in the end, he could only helplessly let go and waved to his Aurors.

A moment later, the bar owner and several wizards who had been arrested by the Aurors came out, being pushed and shoved by the Aurors.

Upon emerging, these wizards, who had been held captive in the interrogation room by the Aurors, were unaware of what was happening outside. They simply assumed they were to be interrogated, but instead found themselves here.

Looking at the densely packed wizards around him, and the dilapidated streets that were clearly the result of a great battle, the bar owner was filled with astonishment.

When they were brought to Fudge and Rufus Scrimgeour by the Aurors, they were still in a state of confusion.

"Release that child first!"

Fuji pointed to Cedric behind Rozier, who gave an elegant smile and said nonchalantly:

"We, the UMNO, are principled and follow the rules! We disdain playing these petty tricks!"

With that, Rozier grabbed Cedric and then casually shoved her toward Fudge.

Rufus Scrimgeour stepped forward, took Cedric, carefully examined him, and then waved to his Aurors to release him.

The bar owner and his wizards stood there dumbfounded as the Aurors behind him pushed them one by one toward Rozier.

Just then, Abernathy came up to him and greeted him with great concern:

"How are you? You haven't suffered any injustice, have you?"

As he spoke, Abernathy took off his coat and draped it over the bar owner.

At this moment, Rozier walked up to them, held up the Wentworth pendant in his hand, and asked:

Do you recognize this pendant?

Seeing this, the bar owner realized who these wizards were and nodded repeatedly!

"Of course! This is the symbol of our UMNO party!"

When Rozier heard the bar owner mention "our UMNO party," he nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"That's good! I am Rozier of the Basilicone Party. On behalf of our Basilicone Party leader, the heir of the Grindelwald family, and our masters, I congratulate you on regaining your freedom!"

At this point, Rozier flashed a bright smile, opened his arms, and addressed the bar owner and the others:

"I'm here on behalf of the little master to say: Welcome home!"

Upon hearing Rozier's words, the bar owner glanced around again, then burst into tears, slowly kneeling at Rozier's feet, and choked out:

"Thank you! Thank you, young master! Thank you everyone! From this day forward, I am willing to dedicate my life to the Grindelwald family and never betray them!"

As Rozier helped the new UMNO member to his feet, he earnestly said:

"Keep your life as it is! You should thank your young master, not us. We are all acting in accordance with Grindelwald's will for a greater good!"

Upon hearing this, the bar owner wiped away his tears and then said with utmost sincerity:

"From this day forward, I will become the sharpest blade, and wherever the Grindelwald family wand points, I will forge ahead without hesitation! No matter what lies ahead, whether it be mountains and rivers or desolate deserts, even if I shed my last drop of blood and turn into withered bones, I will have no regrets in this life!"

Chapter 125 The Aftermath of the War

Meanwhile, in another direction, Amos Diggory was holding Cedric in his arms with a look of affection, sobbing as he said:

“Cedric, my good son! Are you alright? The UMNO didn’t do anything to you, did they?”

Upon hearing his father's question, Cedric shook his head in silence.

At that moment, Rufus Scrimgeour walked over and asked:

“Amos, I think we should ask first why Mr. Cedric isn’t at Hogwarts, but has come to London instead!”

Upon hearing Rufus Scrimgeour's question, Amos suddenly remembered and quickly asked Cedric.

Cedric, however, calmly replied:

“I received a letter from my father, and I felt I had to do something! I couldn’t just stand by and watch him fight here while I remained indifferent at Hogwarts!”

"So, I secretly went through the secret passage of Hogwarts to Hogsmeade Village, and from there I used the Floo Network to get to London! But I never expected that as soon as I got close to the edge of the battlefield, I was discovered by that witch!"

Upon hearing Cedric's reply, Amos embraced Cedric again, his face filled with emotion!

Cedric silently thought to himself:

Father, please forgive my lie. I did this to save more innocent wizards!

The other wizards from the Ministry of Magic present were also moved upon hearing Cedric's answer, especially when Cedric mentioned the secret passages of Hogwarts; many wizards even showed a knowing smile on their faces.

At that moment, Fudge walked over, smiling broadly, and said:

"Truly a worthy student of Hogwarts! Knowing full well that this place is fraught with danger, he still rushed here without hesitation, just to contribute his own strength! Amos, you have a fine son! Cedric will become the future of the British Ministry of Magic!"

"Cedric, I look forward to your graduation from Hogwarts! The British Ministry of Magic would love to welcome you!"

At this moment, Fudge's gaze toward Cedric was becoming more and more pleasing! If it weren't for the boy's timely appearance, today's situation would have been truly difficult to resolve!

Now, although several shamans from the Malay Party were eventually released, it has no impact on Fudge himself! Remember, this was to save the life of an innocent boy! That's called political correctness!

"Amos, you stay with Cedric for a while. He must be terrified after everything he's been through. But we still need to get him back to Hogwarts as soon as possible! I don't want Headmaster Dumbledore coming to me for him! Haha!"

After saying that, Fudge led the wizards away, as there was still a lot of work to be done on site.

Only Rufus Scrimgeour looked at Cedric with a hint of doubt and scrutiny as he left, while the other wizards bid farewell to the handsome young man.

At this moment, after Arbernesy and Rozier finished making arrangements for the wizards of the Sorcery Party, they also came to a corner. Rozier casually moved his wand, and the air in front of them inexplicably trembled. Then, the figures of Lovegood and his daughter and Rita Skeeter appeared in front of them.
