You Call This the Black Man Behind the Scenes?

Chapter 60: Good Man Mellen

Victor, the vice president of the Mixed-Blood Association, dressed himself up in a solemn and solemn manner, and looked like he was about to receive VIPs.

Or, because of the “explosive” news from the Ernest family last night, he didn’t sleep all night.

Simply start preparing for today’s work needs early.

In fact, today he mainly does one thing—

Welcome the arrival of President Jacques Rancière.

The birthplace of the Half-Blood Wizards’ Rights Protection Association is actually in Graham, but in recent years, due to “business needs”, the headquarters has been moved to the United Kingdom’s capital.

As the chief helm, Jacques Rancière, the president, usually works there, and unless there is an emergency, he rarely appears in Graham.

There have been many emergencies in recent times.

First of all, the association “unintentionally” discovered a super genius, not only as an apprentice can use a magic wand that can only be used by a formal wizard without difficulty, but also has a high degree of control over magic and a good fit with the wand.

Most importantly, his image is very good!

So after learning about this, President Jacques had the idea of moving to Graham.

Because he happened to have acquired a unique magic that only apprentice wizards and apprentice wizards with powerful talents could learn not long ago.

At the same time, the top wizarding school, the Imperial Royal Academy, which had taken great effort to apply for, also needed to select a suitable student.

In fact, this quota does not bring any substantial benefits, but it is the first step for the influence of the association to finally become a top wizarding school.

There is the first step, if it goes well, then naturally there will be the second step, the third step…

This path is important.

In the wizarding world, although there are many schools, the children of the top wizard families and super geniuses with unlimited potential are basically concentrated in a handful of top academies.

They represent the top of the wizarding world in the future.

So being able to get in touch with this class is of great significance to the Mixed-Blood Association.

It’s just that although the idea of coming to Graham came up because of the discovery of a genius, President Jacques didn’t have to rush here.

After all, there is still almost a month before the start of this year.

However, what happened next within the association made him no longer in the mood to delay—

Some wizards chose to execute a conspiracy by killing children because they did not agree with the current philosophy of the association.

Although this matter did not succeed, if it is not handled properly, it will inevitably lead to further turmoil within the association.

So when President Jacques Rancière heard about this, he immediately set off towards Graham.

However, although this matter is very serious, after all, the association has initially taken control of the situation, and it is not a matter of urgency.

So although he had already moved, he was not too impatient, and just bought a ticket for a ghost train, a common tool for wizards to travel.

In this way, he basically only needs two or three days to reach Graham, and he can also see the scenery on both sides along the way.

But just halfway, that is, last night, he heard another big event happen—

In the Ernest family manor, a group of mysterious wizards want to use the attack on pure blood as an opportunity to further split the relationship between pure blood and mixed blood!

Although this incident was also stopped, the undercurrent behind this incident had to make him pay attention.

So the ghost train, which was originally very fast, became slow in the eyes of President Jacques.

Eventually, he decided to fly on a flying broom and rush to Graham overnight.

The flying brooms currently sold are mass-produced models imported by Blackstone Ocean Trading Company, with speed restrictions.

However, President Jacques is better at enchanting and alchemy. The broom he uses is an enhanced version that he has improved, and it is extremely fast.

Therefore, when Vice President Victor was dressed neatly and arrived at Graham’s train station, President Jacques had been waiting here for a long time.

President Jacques is a thin old man with gray hair that is thinner than that of Vice President Victor. He doesn’t have a beard on his face, but it doesn’t make him look young.

Instead, the age spots on his face were particularly evident.

“You’re already here?”

Seeing this thin old man wearing a black coat sitting on the bench in the square, the bald Victor hurriedly stepped forward.

“Why didn’t you let us know?”

“I’m not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry for?”

The old man responded with a smile, as if he had learned some information.

As he spoke, he fanned the wind with the top hat tucked in his hand, and the sparse hair on both sides of his bald head swayed slightly, making it very conspicuous in the morning light.

“Besides, it’s not too late now.”

“Then you should also give a notice in advance, so I can come over earlier.” Victor complained.

But the old man ignored him and looked at the crowd of people around him with emotion.

“It’s been years since Graham, this place is growing fast.”

He was clearly interested in it.

Graham City is the most important city in the south-east of the United Kingdom and is one of the major transit hubs on which the kingdom depends.

The daily throughput of goods here is astonishing, and the people who come here go down to all regions of the kingdom and go up to the neighboring countries.

Even the Far Eastern races on the other side of the ocean exist, which is simply eye-opening.

“With that lady here, the speed of development cannot be slowed down at all.”

Seeing the calm look on the president’s face, the vice president Victor was no longer impatient.

After sitting on the bench, his expression was very envious, “Blackstone Company… rich.”

Blackstone’s full name is the Black Market Ocean Trading Company, and the man behind it is the lady of the Chelsea family.

And this company is not so much a trade as it is one of the driving forces behind the United Kingdom’s overseas colonization. The normal transactions are only part of the company’s interests.

It can even be said that substantial interests are no longer the company’s pursuit, and the invisible control and influence are the main direction of Blackstone’s development.

Years of expansionary development have allowed this influence to spread throughout the secular world, and also penetrate deep into the wizarding society.

Based on this, Isabella Chelsea can be “young” to become a big figure in the wizarding world that no one can underestimate.

And a veteran in the wizarding world like Jacques, the president of the Mixed-Blood Association, has deep connections, friends all over the place, and his own strength is even stronger.

But when he first arrived in Graham, he first had to take the initiative to visit the “Miss Isabella” who was enough to be his granddaughter.

“Will the chairman go back to the station first, or go to Chelsea Manor first?”

Vice President Victor asked this question immediately.

“Do not worry.”

The little old man said casually: “The time I agreed with my wife is at noon.”

“Then you are returning to the association’s resident now?”

Vice-chairman Victor said again: “Just right, there are a lot of backlogs that need to be dealt with by you.”

“It might be seven o’clock now.”

President Jacques said angrily when he heard the words: “I’m already one hundred and twenty-seven years old, so you want me to be exhausted at work?”

“But since you’ve already arrived at Graham, isn’t it a waste of time to sit here…”

The bald Victor responded with some grievances, not understanding what the little old man was thinking.

Obviously rushed to Graham overnight, but when he arrived at the place, he looked leisurely…

Could it be that the old man got some good news, so the things he was in a hurry to deal with were not in a hurry?

“It’s not a waste of time.”

President Jacques said with a smile: “About 300 meters to your left, there is a young man in a woman’s clothes. Do you see it? He is very interesting.”

Young people in women’s clothes?

Vice President Victor heard the words and looked in the direction.

As a result, I saw a young lady with brown hair and blue eyes sitting on a bench not far away, looking down at the newspaper in her hand, looking like a normal passerby waiting for time.

Isn’t this a woman?

How can you say a young man in a woman’s clothes?

And, what’s the difference between her and other passengers waiting for the train to arrive?

“At the banquet last night, there must have been a few fish that escaped the net.”

Just when Vice President Victor was puzzled, he heard the old man beside him say:

“Exactly, I’m still wondering what kind of gift I should give when I meet the lady at noon.”

you mean…

The bald Victor was stunned for a moment, but before he could think about it, a hand covered with age spots came out from beside him and beckoned to the brown-haired woman not far away.

The slender lady who was sitting quietly on the bench suddenly raised her head with a shocked face, but before she could make other movements, her body suddenly began to twist!

Then in the blink of an eye, it turned into a fat orange cat with brown-yellow fur.

Its body has changed, but it seems to still maintain its original thinking, and even when it realizes that its image has changed greatly, it unconsciously utters a shrill scream, and then turns around and flees in a hurry.

However, what is very strange is that it ran in the opposite direction, but in the end it turned in a big circle and came to the feet of the emaciated old man.

In its mouth, it even took the newspaper it had read before.

What’s even more amazing is that there was a lot of noise in this incident, but the people around them turned a blind eye and didn’t notice it at all.

“The Felix family is very fast.”

Taking the newspaper from the orange cat, and patting the other person’s furry forehead lightly, President Jacques handed the newspaper to Victor, who was beside him with wide-eyed eyes.

“Look at their propaganda department, how professional.”

Reaching out to take the newspaper, Victor didn’t read it, but sighed with a full face: “Your Transfiguration is really eye-opening.”

“It’s just a trick.”

Jacques Exhibition waved his hand and said: “There is nothing to be commended. Relatively speaking, this newspaper is more important.”

“What do you mean?”

The first thing Victor wakes up every morning is to read the newspaper, or rather the news in the newspaper.

So in fact, he has read the newspaper called “Wizard Daily Morning” in his hand.

The front page headline published above was the incident that happened last night, but it focused on promoting the wisdom and foresight of Felix Family Kevin.

Others, including the important supporting role “Iger”, only mentioned a few words on it, without even a name.

This made him quite angry.

Because in his opinion, although Kevin led the incident last night, what Iger of their association did was equally important.

There is basically no publicity in the newspapers, and it is too much to even give a name!

“The Archipelago Weekly, the Imperial Daily, Pravda, and even the Northern Royal Daily have mentioned this.”

Victor then said: “But in the eyes of outsiders, this matter has nothing to do with our mixed-race association.”

“You are just a muscle in your head.” President Jacques glanced at him.

“Right now, the Felix family is pushing that Kevin to the front, to publicize that he has destroyed an unknown enemy’s conspiracy to divide the pure-blooded and mixed-blooded. Then, the Felix family will definitely investigate this matter in depth.”

“This matter is related to the assassination case a while ago, and the Chelsea family will not let it go.”

‘so?”

“The two wizarding families have come forward to maintain the relationship between pure blood and mixed blood, and there must be some big fanfare next. Isn’t this a good thing?”

“You mean, that incident within our association…”

“The problem will not be solved, but at least it will have a calming and deterrent effect. There should be no accidents in a short time.”

Saying so, President Jacques stood up instead.

“But since the gifts have been prepared, there is no need for us to continue sitting here now.”

So why didn’t you arrest him before, but waited until now?

Victor wondered, but the president would do some unimaginable things every once in a while, so he didn’t bother to ask in detail.

He called a rental carriage, and after getting in, he turned and said, “As for Iger, what do you… think?”

“Which aspect are you referring to?” The old man raised his eyebrows.

“What happened last night has spread throughout the wizarding world.”

Vice President Victor said in a worried tone: “Although Iger is not mentioned much in these newspapers, it is impossible for some local pure-blood families to ignore him. After all, his talent…”

“Are you afraid that he will be absorbed by those pure blood families?”

“I have some disagreements with Delane Sr. on this matter.”

Victor did not answer directly, but instead said: “He believes that whether Iger stays in the association or not, he is also a member of our mixed blood, for his future consideration, we should not influence his next choice. .”

“Your opinion is contrary to his?” President Jacques asked.

“That’s it.”

Victor said helplessly: “But I really can’t think of what to do to keep Iger.”

Although the Mixed-Blood Association is very influential in the overall mixed-blood class, in the eyes of pure-blooded wizards, mixed-bloods are themselves a group of people who cannot be on the table.

Therefore, with the talent of “Iger”, whether it is “worshiping” under a certain big family, or marrying a small and medium-sized family, marrying a “noble lady” as a son-in-law.

It’s better than staying in an unpopular organization like the Mixed-Blood Association.

Then Iger was a new member of the association for two days, and he had no feelings or nostalgia for this place at all.

Under such circumstances, how stupid do you have to be to choose to stay and share weal and woe with their group of “bitter haha”?

“As Feng said, no matter where he goes, he is also a member of our mixed blood.”

President Jacques didn’t seem to have such worries, but he was happy when he heard the words.

“So no matter what choice he has next, I will not stop him.”

“Are you really willing to let this genius go?”

“Forty years ago, I took an apprentice, and I didn’t mention the name. It was a sad thing.”

President Jacques said: “His talent should not be under Iger’s, especially when he was out on a trip, he saved a young lady of the Raifali family, so it didn’t take long for him to be recruited by the Raifali family.”

“You let go?”

“No, in the name of the teacher, I refuse to let him marry that Miss Lefay.”

President Jacques said: “This matter is actually very complicated, but generally speaking, my thoughts at the time are basically the same as yours now.”

“and then?”

“Then he betrayed me, he thought I had deprived him of his right to pursue love and future, and even resented that he wanted to poison my food…”

Having said that, seeing Victor’s complicated expression, the old man patted his shoulder.

“So, some things can’t be forced. We just need to show enough attention. For others, let him choose by himself.”

Having said that, Victor, who was the vice-chairman, still felt very depressed when he saw that the genius under his nose was about to fly away.

However, seeing the indifferent expression on the face of the president sitting across from him, he stopped talking for a while, but still didn’t say anything.

The carriage fell into silence, the carriage continued to move along the street, and finally stopped slowly in front of the association’s apartment building, which was only separated from the train tracks by a wall.

Victor got off the carriage first, but before he could greet the old president, he saw a familiar figure approaching quickly.

“Colin Levine? What are you doing here?”

Victor frowned at this.

Colin Levine is a middle-aged wizard with a fat belly. The two used to be colleagues and have a good relationship.

It was only later that the big-bellied wizard ran out to stand on his own and created a meteorological association of Lao Shizi, and the relationship between the two parties dropped to a freezing point.

In Victor’s view, this organization was actually a competitor of the Mixed-Blood Association, and Iger was almost robbed by them not long ago.

So now seeing the president of the association appear in front of him, he naturally has no good face.

“I made an appointment with President Jacques and have something to talk about.”

The middle-aged wizard said so.

“That wouldn’t be blocking the door waiting, would it?”

Victor responded with a sullen face, “When others see it, they think our association is very rude.”

“Of course.”

The middle-aged fat president said this with a smile on his face, “I actually want to ask President Jacques to introduce Mr. Iger Wilson from your association for me. UU reading www.uukanshu.com”

“You want to see Iger, can’t you just go in and find it yourself? As for bothering our president?”

“Of course not, that would be too rude.”

The fat wizard shook his head and said, “Mr. Wilson did a big favor to our association last night.”

busy?

Victor was taken aback.

Besides what happened at the banquet last night, did anything else happen?

“What is it that you are so busy doing that deserves such a grand occasion?” President Jacques, who slowly got out of the carriage, was also very strange about this.

The two sides didn’t mention this when they contacted before, but said they wanted to discuss the issue of the unfortunate boy Arthur.

So he was surprised by it.

So next, the old president heard something that surprised him very much.

“Mr. Wilson, last night sponsored Arthur’s 300,000 grams of ghost dust in our association for their friendship.”

The middle-aged fat president said with admiration: “300,000 grams, how generous! Who is such a good person more worthy of our association’s grand treatment than him?”

Three hundred thousand?

Victor’s face was stunned when he heard it, and then he looked annoyed, as if he had suffered a great loss.

President Jacques also raised his eyebrows and glanced at a room on the second floor of the apartment, his previous thoughts quietly changed.

“exactly.”

He pondered for a moment, then nodded, “That is indeed a good person who needs to be treated with caution.”

…

When he said this, the old president never imagined that the good Mellon just happened to dream of him at this moment.

Or, the future him.

Before that, he had dreamed of many people, including Mrs. Chelsea, and himself.
