Chapter 728: The Year's Deadline Has Arrived!
Chapter 728: The Year's Deadline Has Arrived!
"Everyone?" Dawgert stared at Ivan in shock.
"What? Can't you do it?" Ivan raised an eyebrow, challenging him.
"No, of course not!" Dawgert hurriedly shook his head.
Although it was a tough job, if they chose the right moment and launched a surprise attack during the dead of night when everyone was asleep, with a bit of luck, they could ensure no one slipped through the net.
"Good! Additionally, you need to pay special attention to these individuals. They are all Death Eaters. Be cautious when capturing them and don't give them a chance to resist." As Ivan spoke, he drew his wand and tapped the conference table lightly.
Under the effect of the Transfiguration Spell, several faces soon appeared on the redwood table, vivid and unforgettable.
Dawgert studied them carefully and immediately promised to capture all of them by tonight.
The meeting lasted over an hour. After finalizing the operation plan and the specific time of action, Ivan finally declared the meeting over.
The wizards in the meeting room stood up one by one, bowing respectfully to Ivan before leaving their seats in an orderly manner.
When the last wizard exited the meeting room, the dimly lit room suddenly became much brighter.
Ivan, who had been sitting at the head of the table, relaxed his tense expression and leaned back into the soft, plush chair.
"Truly troublesome... Finally, it's done." Ivan rubbed his slightly stiff face and muttered to himself.
If it were up to him, he would much rather spend his summer vacation at home, reading books and practicing magic, rather than organizing a group of Dark Wizards to discuss how to clean up Knockturn Alley.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Voldemort's resurrection completely disrupted Ivan's plans and plunged Knockturn Alley, which had been relatively stable, into chaos.
To eliminate the unstable elements in Knockturn Alley and gain enough power to protect himself, he had no choice but to consider completing the System's tasks to earn more Legendary Points.
Most crucially, these next few days were his last chance to complete the task.
According to the information provided by Evers, the Dark Lord had intentions to recruit more followers and expand his influence in Knockturn Alley. If the Dark Lord truly intervened, Ivan's mission to clean up Knockturn Alley would likely never be completed.
Therefore, the only option was to act swiftly and decisively. While Voldemort was still recovering from his injuries and hiding, he had to eliminate all the opposition in Knockturn Alley in one fell swoop.
With this thought, Ivan glanced at the System Task bar, where the information had indeed changed.
【Become the King of Knockturn Alley
Mission Objective: Clean Up Knockturn Alley (Third Ring)
Mission Progress: 69%
Mission Reward: Magic Mark
Legendary Points: 3 (Achieve King of Knockturn Alley)
Mission Description: The year's deadline has arrived. You have finally decided to no longer tolerate the chaos and will cleanse Knockturn Alley with a thunderous strike. Punish the opposition and make everyone bow to your rule...】
Seeing the increased mission progress, Ivan nodded in satisfaction. It seemed his course of action was correct.
However, when his gaze fell on the mission description, a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, this was still the System he knew so well...
However, this at least proved that his previous thoughts were not wrong. Completing the "Clean Up Knockturn Alley" mission did not require every Wizard in Knockturn Alley to be convinced of his authority. Some less humanitarian methods could also achieve the goal.
Of course, Ivan did not plan to go on a killing spree as described in the mission description, executing all the opponents. Instead, he intended to rely on force and intimidation to make these people temporarily recognize his rule.
As for whether these resentful Wizards would pretend to comply and regret it later, Ivan couldn't care less.
After all, he wasn't really interested in ruling Knockturn Alley. Once the mission was completed and the Legendary Points were in hand, he wouldn't care about anything else.
...
At one o'clock in the morning, Ivan stood alone on the repaired platform in the center of the Wizarding Market in Knockturn Alley and issued the assembly command.
In the next moment, one figure after another appeared in the center of the square.
In just three seconds, all forty-six Wizards were present!
They were all energetic and fully armed, clearly well-prepared for the operation.
Many of them had a mix of nervousness and excitement in their eyes. After a year of rigorous training, their magic skills had improved significantly, and now it was time to put them to use.
"Fenrir, distribute the task lists!" Ivan ordered.
Fenrir acknowledged the command and handed out a stack of parchments to everyone.
Grace took hers and curiously glanced at it. The parchment contained a map of Knockturn Alley, with five locations marked and a few names written next to them.
Grace immediately understood that these were her targets for the night.
"Wait... why is your map the same as mine?" Walker, standing beside her, curiously leaned in. He compared his map to Grace's, and they were almost identical.
"Isn't it obvious? It means we have to work together tonight!" Grace rolled her eyes and quickly found a prominent number seven on the parchment. "Yes, it looks like we're both in Team Seven!"
Just as Grace had expected, once everyone had their maps, Ivan began explaining from the platform.
Considering that the Wizards in Knockturn Alley were not exactly the friendliest bunch, acting alone might lead to unexpected situations. Therefore, he planned to divide the forty-six Wizards into groups of two to four, so they could support each other during the operation.
This would ensure both efficiency and minimize danger.
"Remember, you must act quickly!" Ivan scanned the crowd, his tone serious. "Once you start, any commotion could alert other Wizards, so your time is very limited. I hope that by dawn, you will have invited everyone on the list here..."
Ivan continued to detail the important points of the operation, with the most critical being the race against time.
After all, Knockturn Alley wasn't very large. Even with the Eastern Ruins, it was only the size of a large street square. Any chaos would be easily noticed.
However, conflicts in Knockturn Alley were not uncommon, and the Wizards here generally adopted a "mind your own business" attitude. No matter how intense the fighting outside, as long as it didn't concern them, they would simply ignore it and go back to sleep.
The key to this operation was to exploit this mindset and capture everyone before they could figure out what was happening!
