Chapter five hundred and twentieth an important agreement
"Old Maier, your strength has declined..."
"Hmph, I knocked him down without your help! I've already removed his wand."
"If it weren't for my magical protection, you would be at the mercy of others with your eyes wandering."
"Haha...I'm just too lazy to hide..."
In Lockhart's peripheral vision, four similarly dressed wizards in black trench coats walked through the blasted door and walked in. One of them patted the old wizard who had just blown the door open, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
Familiar teasing.
Gilderoy Lockhart groped for the armchair next to him, stood up crookedly, looked around at the five wizards of unknown origin who were pointing their wands at him, and twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a helpless smile.
.
"It seems that your magazine takes special care of me."
This kind of five-person team's capture and attack lineup is a very rare configuration, even if the Ministry of Magic's Aurors are out on duty. Generally speaking, this kind of multi-person elite team is only used to capture extremely dangerous dark wizards.
action group.
Obviously, faced with these mysterious men in black who had torn apart their disguises, Lockhart didn't think he could resist anymore.
Hearing Gilderoy Lockhart's voice, the leading wizard raised his head and smiled kindly.
"Don't be too nervous, Mr. Lockhart, we come here with sincerity."
"To re-introduce myself, I am Kurt Meier, a senior employee from the Austrian Destiny Group."
"Destiny...Group? Austria? Do you have any misunderstandings..."
Gilderoy Lockhart repeated in confusion that he had no memory of ever going there.
But if it's seeking revenge, judging from the current appearance, it doesn't seem like it...
In short, let's chat first, try to delay the time, and wait for the Ministry of Magic's rescue. When there was a noise outside the door, he had already asked the Ministry of Magic for help through the Floo Network, "reporting" that an unknown dark wizard was illegally breaking into his house.
at home.
"You are the author of this book, right?"
At this moment, a wizard in black walked to the bookshelf in the living room, pulled out a book "Wandering with Werewolves" from it, flipped through it casually, turned around, picked up the book and shook it towards Gilderoy Lockhart
Shake.
Lockhart nodded calmly, forced a smile, and explained unhurriedly.
"Oh, yes, this was when I was traveling in the United States..."
"Kurt, the Floo Network intercepted a request for help. There is no sign of the owl messenger flying over the house."
At this time, another middle-aged wizard wearing a black trench coat walked in from outside the house, holding a struggling magical letter in his left hand. It was the letter for help that Gilderoy Lockhart had high hopes for.
"Well, thank you...continue to stay alert, I will get it sorted out as soon as possible."
Kurt Meyer nodded, with a hint of embarrassment on his face. He immediately turned his head and glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart, who looked ashen for a moment. There was a hint of meaningful playfulness on his face, and he took it out of his arms.
Got two rolls of parchment.
"Gilderoy Lockhart, you are suspected of tampering with the memories of many people, pretending to receive the Order of Merlin, insulting the heroes of the wizarding world, and making improper profits... for multiple crimes. In the spirit of humanitarianism, the righteous Destiny Organization has decided to give you a
A chance to change your ways. Now, you only need to sign this destiny employment contract, and no one will be held accountable for the past things..."
"Do I still have room to refuse? I'll just sign."
Gilderoy Lockhart smiled miserably, and without even looking at the contents of the parchment, he picked up a pen and signed his own name on it. The other party had obviously found out his details. Faced with this terrible situation,
As a mysterious organization, he could only choose to entrust Virtual Snake to him for the time being and think about it later...
"Very good, here is a confidentiality agreement for employment."
After Kurt Meyer compared Lockhart's signature on the parchment with the signatures he usually gave to fans, he put away the employment contract with satisfaction, picked up another much longer roll of parchment and signed it in Lockhart's hand.
spread out in front of Hart.
"As for this roll of parchment, it is a sample of an oath of confidentiality. Because your next work is very important and you need to temporarily become a person who does not exist in the magical world or the non-magical world... Now you just need to follow it.
If you make an unbreakable oath, you will join the core business side of Tianming Group."
The old wizard grinned, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and tapped the parchment lightly with his wand.
"Time is running out, let's get started quickly. Today is the last day of Mithras."
…
At the same time, on the other side.
Free Ukraine, city of Nikolayev.
"Friendship in Ukraine...ah, I learned the face of capital so quickly..."
Walking on the main street of Nikolayev Shipyard, Elena looked at the pile of contracts in her hand and sighed in a low voice. Behind her, there were more than a dozen people with serious faces and dressed in black.
Middle-aged and elderly people in turtleneck trench coats.
Of course, there is also a black double-breasted woolen coat, with a shirt and vest of the same color underneath. Even the silver buttons and small pendants are extremely exquisite. The president of Tianming Group, Otto Apokalis, has carefully combed them.
gentlemen.
Less than half a month after the talks held some time ago, the Ukrainian government has reached a consensus with Yeltsin's Russian government and decided to immediately dismantle the unfinished Ulyanovsk on slipway zero.
The Ukrainian and Russian governments are quite skilled and enthusiastic in how to sell off national assets.
In this way, on the one hand, Ukraine can make room for six large cargo ships ordered by Norwegian shipping companies, and on the other hand, it can also complete the scrap steel purchase order from Tianming Group as soon as possible to replace the empty state treasury.
As for Tianming, an Austrian company that suddenly appeared, the steel company from the United States, or later the CIA, did not pay more attention to it after learning about the contents of the contract through its own secret channels.
After all, the current economic situation in the United States is not very good, and it is just relying on one breath to hold on.
Before the bear meat left by the former Soviet Union was fully digested and devoured, the eagle sauce that had just emerged from the whirlpool of the Cold War was actually quite weak in the international market, and there was not much spare power to distract the market. Now that there are companies willing to take the initiative
The Americans would naturally be more than happy to take over, as long as they can dismantle that dangerous nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Therefore, Elena's task today is to try to make the entire "abandoned aircraft carrier dismantling work" look as decent as possible... Of course, just "looking like" is enough.
The Ulyanovsk has already been dismantled once, and there is no need to repeat it again in this history.
