Chapter 501 Arriving in the United States
"So we are leaving for the United States now?"
In the lounge of the Ant Factory, Arthur looked haggard and said to Mike, who was fully dressed in front of him.
"Yes, I received a letter from the patriarch of the Foley family last night. He said that he had found the residence of the Kent family in the United States." Mike said unhurriedly, "And given the current situation, I think we It's better to leave as early as possible, otherwise I may not have enough time when Hogwarts starts."
Hearing this, Arthur took a deep breath and struggled to get up from the bed.
Due to his outstanding performance at Malfoy Manor, he became the target of the wizards in Los Santos last night, and almost everyone was proud to have a drink with Arthur.
Although Arthur was already an old drunkard, the others were not bad either, so under the warm greetings of everyone, Arthur got drunk without any surprise.
"You should be able to hold on, right?"
Mike looked at Arthur with some confusion. The other party's current condition was worse than he expected. He originally thought that with Arthur's exaggerated physical fitness, the alcohol would not be able to do anything to him.
Arthur did not answer when he heard this, but sat down and began to take continuous deep breaths.
As he moved, large amounts of the smell of alcohol spit out from his mouth, and within a short time the strong smell of alcohol filled the room.
Mike covered his mouth and nose in disgust, while Arthur's expression became energetic.
"Okay, I've recovered now."
Arthur walked up from the bed energetically, and Mike nodded with satisfaction when he saw this.
Arthur, a special talent who specializes in physical fitness, is indeed extraordinary. Such a method of sobering up has never been heard of even by Mike.
"Do you need to prepare anything else?"
"No need." Arthur took out a traceless stretch bag from under the bed, patted it and said, "I haven't used up the supplies I prepared for the previous battle, so I can just leave now."
After saying that, Arthur put on his leather armor again and followed Mike out of the lounge to find other members.
But when he actually found them, Mike found that their situation was not optimistic.
At this moment, they were already drunk. Benjamin was a little better. Although he was drunk, he looked pretty good.
Franklin is not good. Last night he had the most fun, and now he is naturally the most embarrassed. He is still in a coma.
And when dealing with these people, Mike's methods are also very straightforward.
"Clear spring is like water."
As the spell was recited, large jets of ice water spurted out from the tip of the blackthorn wand and poured over the two of them.
Benjamin screamed and jumped up from the floor almost instantly, and although Franklin also woke up, he was extremely weak and could only struggle to turn over.
Mike's brows instantly wrinkled. This situation is a bit difficult to handle now. There are indeed some extremely effective hangover medicines in the wizarding world, but unfortunately these hangover medicines only deal with ordinary people. Wine, magic liquor like Firewhiskey cannot cure the drunken state, so he had no choice but to continue pouring water.
Fortunately, although Franklin's physical fitness is not as good as Arthur's, he is still very good. With Mike's unremitting efforts, he finally regained consciousness and left the Avery Secret Realm with the support of Mike and others.
Due to the special nature of this operation, Mike did not bring too many people with him. Apart from Arthur, the only people accompanying him were Franklin, Benjamin and Zhou Hong.
Although the number of people was relatively small, Mike felt that it was enough.
Because this is almost the most powerful lineup within the entire Freemasonry and even the Los Santos Group.
It can be said that if people like Mike can't solve the Kent family, then bringing more people will be useless.
A moment later, Mike and others were teleported directly to the Los Santos Group headquarters through the portkey.
Although their destination this time was the United States, Mike was not prepared to go through the formal exit procedures.
Because the formal procedures were too cumbersome, Mike simply didn’t have the patience.
Moreover, the current situation in the United States is not optimistic, and a large number of wizards are running away desperately. Therefore, there is a high probability that the United States Ministry of Magic will not allow Mike and others to enter.
Then there is only one option left for Mike - stowaway!
Fortunately, the Los Santos Group also has many shady businesses in the United States that require smuggling activities, so the Los Santos Group also keeps some illegal door keys that can go directly to the United States.
What Mike and the others are going to use this time is a door key numbered MD003, which is an orange, opened potato chip packaging barrel. Mike once thought that the person who made this door key must be crazy, because this The thing seemed a bit flimsy to Mike, it wasn't even made of iron!
But later facts proved that it is the most stable among all the door keys created, and only it can be used as a door key for transporting people. Other door keys can only be used for freight, and their danger is too high. .
But even a door key that has reached the level of stability for transporting people is still an ultra-long-distance cross-border door key. Such a door key has almost no comfort at all.
Therefore, when this potato chip bucket appeared in front of everyone, Benjamin and Franklin's faces instantly turned extremely pale.
They haven't completely sobered up yet. If they are tortured by this door key again, the consequences...
Unfortunately, they have no choice.
Under Zhou Hong's gloating gaze, the two of them were forced by Mike to place their hands on the potato chip bucket.
A huge suction force came from the potato chip bucket. Mike and others' eyesight went dark, and they were sucked in instantly.
After a period of dizziness, the scenery in front of Mike finally changed. In front of them was no longer a small airtight room, but a large expanse of blue sea.
They were on a sunny beach!
Benjamin and Franklin were already dead. They were lying on the sand and vomiting continuously.
But because they hadn't eaten for too long, no matter how much they vomited, only translucent turbid acidic water came out of their mouths.
Zhou Hong's situation is a bit special. He seems to have not yet reacted to this special journey. At this moment, he is still lying on the beach and dancing, while still screaming piercingly from his mouth.
The only normal people among the crowd were Mike and Arthur. The two of them recovered as soon as they landed and watched their surroundings vigilantly.
At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in their field of vision.
Arthur almost without hesitation drew out his silver sword and pointed it at those people, while Mike laughed when he looked at the figures walking this way.
"Abut! Long time no see!"
Hearing this, the leading figure in the distance also waved and shouted:
"Yeah! You brat, you didn't even send me a letter!"
"You are not a little girl, why should I send you a letter!"
"Brat!"
…
After a burst of noise, those figures finally came to Mike. They were Abt, who had not been masked for a long time, and several bodyguards of the Foley family.
As soon as they met, Mike and Abbot laughed and hugged each other.
They both hugged him tightly, especially Abt, who was also patting Mike's back hard.
It can be seen that he is very excited about having friends come all the way from his hometown.
But it’s no wonder that travelers who leave home always have a different feeling for their homeland.
After hugging for a while, Abbot finally let go of Mike and began to look at Benjamin and others behind Mike with strange eyes.
"You...the person you brought this time is interesting. Are you drunk?"
Mike turned around and saw that Arthur had sheathed his sword and was currently taking care of Franklin and others who almost vomited bile with Zhou Hong.
Seeing this, the expression on Mike's face also became a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said:
"Their strength is still good, but... well, it's a long story."
"Hahaha, it's okay." Abt said with a smile, "Anyway, we have plenty of time this time, and the Kent family can't run away. Why don't we let them have a good rest today, and I can take you to visit the United States." !”
Looking at Franklin and Benjamin's embarrassment, Mike hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Their current situation is indeed not suitable for direct action.
Abbot nodded, first said something to a bodyguard on the side, then looked at Mike and said:
"Time waits for no one, let's leave now. If we don't leave, people from the Immigration Management Department of the Magic Congress may come, and they won't be easy to deal with."
As soon as these words came out, Mike frowned.
According to Abbot, the Magical Congress of the United States actually has the ability to monitor the fluctuations in door key transmission within the country. This is not something that can be easily accomplished. The Ministry of Magic of the United States has nothing to do about this kind of thing.
This also shows that the power of the Magical Congress of the United States is far greater than that of the Ministry of Magic of the United States. It seems that they must be more careful in their actions this time, otherwise they will be in trouble if they provoke the Magical Congress of the United States.
Mike's frown was noticed by Abt. He thought Mike was really worried about being caught by the Immigration Department, so he quickly comforted him:
"It's okay, Mike, as long as we run fast enough, those people can't catch us. And this situation doesn't always happen. It's just that the international situation has been a bit tense recently, and a large number of wizards want to enter the United States, so the Magic Congress That group of people would be so nervous."
Mike didn't explain too much to Abt, he just nodded lightly.
On the other side, Franklin, who had recovered slightly, also walked over with a haggard face. When he heard that he was about to set off again, the expression on his face became a little more ugly, and he said eagerly:
"How can we leave soon? Don't ask for the door key again! I don't want to see that thing in my life!"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Hong immediately laughed happily.
And Abt couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"Don't worry, Franklin, I've been ready."
After finishing speaking, Abt took out a pure black gemstone whistle, put it to his mouth and blew hard.
A strange sound suddenly filled the air, and then, a small dot appeared on the horizon in the distance. A huge carriage gradually enlarged and finally stopped beside everyone.
"Yeqi carriage?"
Looking at the strange flying horses with bat wings on the front of the carriage, Franklin screamed in surprise. But soon, he looked at Abt nervously and said:
"How's the skill of the driver you hired? I don't want to vomit again today."
"Hahaha! Don't worry, Roxis is an experienced pilot!"
Listening to Abbot's confident words, a middle-aged wizard who was sitting in the driver's seat of the carriage and holding the reins smiled, took off his hat, and nodded to Mike and others.
After hearing this, Franklin felt relieved, and walked into the carriage with Mike and others behind him.
After everyone sat down, the coachman outside the carriage shook the reins in his hands, and the six Ye Qibian started running silently, and after a burst of acceleration, they took the huge carriage into the air!
The bodyguards who originally came with Abt did not get on the carriage. Instead, they got on broomsticks and escorted him around the carriage.
Half an hour later, Mike and others, who were chatting and laughing all the way, finally arrived at their destination, a luxurious manor that was already covered in ice and snow.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Benjamin and Franklin got out of the car first and found a place to vomit again.
Abbot did not lie. Mr. Rohis was indeed a highly skilled coachman, and the carriage ran very steadily along the way.
But it was flying in the sky after all, and some bumps were inevitable, which made Franklin and Benjamin's fragile stomachs unbearable again.
Mike apologized apologetically to the dark-faced coachman, and then led several people and Abbot into the villa.
Different from the ice and snow outside, the fire inside the villa was as warm as spring. Mike and others took off their coats and handed them to the servants.
While Mike and the others were taking off their clothes, Abt took out a document and carefully placed it in front of Mike.
"Here is some information I collected about the Kent family. You can take a look at it first."
Mike nodded and looked through it casually.
It has to be said that the intelligence collected by Abbot is still very comprehensive. It almost records a series of major and minor events that happened after the Kent family entered the United States.
It even included the incident where the patriarch of the Kent family was humiliated and left in anger at a noble banquet.
Judging from the contents of this document, the Kent family's relocation plan did not go smoothly. His proud family background and bloodline were not respected by the local nobles in the United States. At most, those people recognized him. The Kent family is just qualified to play with them.
On the contrary, because the Kent family is not very wealthy, coupled with the pretentious and high-profile attitude of the Kent patriarch and the dull image of the Ying-style aristocracy.
In addition to the fact that the Kent family developed reasonably well at the beginning, they were subsequently boycotted by almost all the upper class people in the United States. This caused them to lose all face and could only disappear from the sight of the upper class in disgrace.
