He Reaps What He Sows

Chapter 433 He Reaps What He Sows

As officials from all levels filed out, the meeting room immediately became quiet.

Kingsley Shaker and Gadwin Robaz exchanged a glance, conveying their mutual understanding.

Then Kingsley stood up and slowly walked toward Pierce Sinkenis, who remained seated, and said to him in a deep, slow voice, "Pierce, let's hurry and find Yaxley. Give him the summons, and our mission will be complete."

"Yes, you're right, we must complete the mission as soon as possible," Sinknis said. "Let's set off now."

As he spoke, Sinkness stood up, looking slightly flustered, and walked out of the conference room first, followed closely by Kingsley and Gadwin.

The three of them walked quickly through the brightly lit corridor, past one enchanted window after another, and around one corner after another.

Before long, the three of them stopped in front of an office. Sunlight streamed through the enchanted window and shone directly onto the door, making the brass sign on it gleam.

Pierce Sinkness, standing in front of the door, slowly straightened his clothes. For the first time, he realized that the Ministry of Magic's winding corridors were actually quite short.

Kingsley and Gadwin exchanged another glance.

Then Kingsley stepped forward, past Sinkness, and knocked on the door.

Before anyone in the room could respond, Gadwin bypassed Sinkness and opened the door with Kingsley.

The conversation in the office abruptly stopped. Coban Yaxley, looking fierce, stared at the door, while Roland Foley stood beside him, his face contorted with rage.

Upon seeing that the visitors were Deputy Director Sinkness and two Aurors, Yaxley's eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light. Old Foley, who was slowly rising, was still unaware of the purpose of the three people outside the door.

"What are you doing here?" Roland Foley asked, leaning on his cane as he reached the door. "Shouldn't you be out hunting Death Eaters?"

Foley was speaking to both Aurors; he was very dissatisfied with the new director, Belvina, and equally dissatisfied with the Auror Chief of Staff, Scrinker.

"I didn't expect to see Mr. Foley here. It seems you're feeling much better," said Gadwin Robards with a smile. The people in the Auror office didn't seem to have much respect for this member of the Wizengamot.

Roland Foley snorted coldly and said rudely, "This is the Wissengamo administration office. Coban and I have work to do. If you don't have anything else to do, you'd better leave now."

At this moment, Coban Yaxley, his true colors revealed, also stood up, but instead of stepping forward, he stood behind old Foley.

"What's the matter, Pierce?" Yaxley asked. "Kingsley, what's the matter?" He then looked at Kingsley Shackle, who was also a pure-blood wizard.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

Gadwin Robards, who was more senior and held a higher rank, was simply ignored.

Despite being ignored, Gadwin did not show any annoyance. He and Kingsley took a half step back, making way for Sinkness behind them.

The deputy director reluctantly stepped past the two Aurors and, under the questioning gaze of old Foley, entered the Wizengamo Administration Office.

"Professional, here's what happened—" Sinkness said, slowly rummaging through his pockets while winking at Yaxley.

Roland Foley's expression became even more puzzled; he failed to see the hint in Sinkness's eyes.

Although Yaxley, with his burly face, looked rude and savage, he understood the hint; the hint from Sinknes confirmed his suspicions.

The moment Coban Yaxley saw the Aurors who had come knocking on his door, he realized something was terribly wrong; the newly appointed Black was indeed going to make a move against him.

With Sinkernis's later hints, Yaxley was absolutely certain that the Aurors were after him.

"In the past few days, a lot of false rumors have been circulating in the company, and these rumors are said to have started from you," Sinkness said slowly, rummaging in his pocket for a while before finally pulling out the summons.

"Do you know what you're saying, Pierce?" Yaxley said, subtly moving closer to Roland Foley.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. This is a summons." Sinkness held up the parchment in his hand. "It was jointly signed by the Minister and the Director, and it's a special case."

Unaware of the danger, Roland Foley snatched the summons and read it carefully.

"This is utterly absurd!" old Foley roared angrily. "Summon him! Summon him? Summon Coban Yaxley for such a trivial matter!"

“Special arrangements can be made, Mr. Foley,” Sinkness said casually. “You know, the Ministry of Magic is going through a tough time.”

"Bullshit!" old Foley roared angrily. "I've only been sick for a few days, and you dare summon the noble, ancient Yaxley? What does Black take the Ministry of Magic for? Does she even respect Wizengamor?!"

Before Coban Yaxley could react, Roland Foley had already exploded.

"We!" Foley pointed to himself and Yaxley in turn. "We are pure-blood wizards for generations, not the mud under Black's feet. Our dignity cannot be trampled on by her!"

With a menacing glint in his eyes, Coban Yaxley approached Roland Foley silently and stealthily.

"Mr. Foley, I understand your anger, truly," Sinkness said nonchalantly, "but these are orders from the Minister and the Director, and I cannot disobey them."

"Where is Blake? I'm going to throw this summons in her face!" Old Foley roared furiously. "How dare someone who has betrayed their own blood summon a noble, ancient one!"

Before Roland Foley could finish his rant, Kingsley interrupted the old man who was spouting nonsense.

"Mr. Foley, you should first see what Yaxley is planning to do!"

At Kingsley's loud reminder, Roland Foley turned sharply to look at Yaxley.

Coban Yaxley had already discreetly slipped his hands into his coat pockets, seemingly intending to use force to refuse the summons.

Yaxley knew very well that he absolutely could not fall into Belvina's hands; if he accepted the summons, his Death Eater identity would be exposed immediately.

Therefore, Yaxley planned to break out and make a big scene, preferably so that everyone in the Ministry of Magic would know that Belvina had fabricated charges against the ancient Yaxley family.

As long as she can get out and make a big scene, even if the current minister is Amelia Bones, Belvina will be in deep trouble. People who don't know the truth will drown her in their spittle!

So, the question is, how can Coban Yaxley successfully leave the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and break out of the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement agencies?

That's right, the answer is to take hostages, thus making the Aurors, the Strikers, and the Law Enforcement Team hesitate to act.

Between Deputy Director Sinkness and Wisengamorveli, Coban Yaxley chose the latter.

Firstly, Sinkenis was standing too far away to be easily taken hostage; secondly, Sinkenis was still useful, and he couldn't give the impression of being incompetent.

In contrast, Roland Foley doesn't have these problems. The old man is already a pariah, and the only reason he can stay in Wisengagamo is because he's shameless enough.

Besides, even if he offended that old man Foley, so what? The old man is terrified of death and wouldn't dare to turn against the Death Eaters.

That's why Coban Yaxley chose to kidnap Foley, using Wizengamo as a shield, and break out of the Department of Justice.

"You!" Old Foley finally realized the danger. "You want to do something?"

Although they realized the danger, it was too late.

Yaxley lunged forward, grabbed Foley, and pressed his wand against the old man's temple.

All of this happened so suddenly that Roland Foley had no time to react. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been subdued by Yaxley.

"Get out of the way!" Yaxley shouted. "I refuse to accept Blake's summons. She's framing me! I'm innocent!"

"Don't get agitated, Coban. Release Roland first," Sinknis said hypocritically. "Release Roland first, and we can discuss the summons later."

Pierce Sinkness had long seen through Yaxley's intentions, but he did not stop him.

Similarly, Kingsley Shackle had seen through everything long ago. Not only did he not stop it himself, he also stopped Gadwin Robards from stepping forward.

The reason Kingsley didn't stop Yaxley was because he knew Belvina's plan: she not only wanted to expose Yaxley's true identity, but also to remind more people of the Death Eaters' brutality.

In Belvina's plan, the unlucky one should have been Sinkness, but unexpectedly, Roland Foley was here. It can only be said that the old man was asking for trouble and brought it upon himself.

"Get out of the way!" Yaxley shouted again. "I will not accept this impudent summons. It is an insult to Yaxley, an insult to pure-blood wizards!"

Yaxley roared as he pushed Foley slowly forward.

Taking hostages was just a means to an end; the real goal was to break out of the Ministry of Magic and escalate the situation.

Sinkness spread his hands and slowly backed away, saying again insincerely, "Put down your wand, Corban, let's talk this over."

Kingsley and Gadwin, who were standing outside the office, also slowly retreated, making room for Yaxley, who was holding a hostage, to come out.

By this time, the corridor outside Wissengamo was already packed with people.

Roland Foley's earlier shouting had already attracted a crowd, and Yaxley's subsequent shouting drew another group.

Among the onlookers were ordinary employees of the Department of Law Enforcement and members of Wizengamo; all of them witnessed Coban Yaxley taking Roland Foley hostage.

"Columbia, release Roland right now! Do you even know what you're doing?!"

A Wizengamo stepped forward to try and stop Yaxley's irrational behavior.

"I won't release him!" Yaxley shouted. "I'm sorry for what I did to you today, Roland, but I have no choice!"

The corridor became increasingly crowded, as if everyone had nothing better to do than come and watch the spectacle.

Corban Yaxley achieved his first goal: he successfully made a big fuss about the matter, making it known to everyone in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

However, Yaxley overlooked one thing: as the number of onlookers continued to increase, the corridor of the Department of Law Enforcement was completely blocked, and Coban Yaxley was surrounded.
