Before Arthur could answer, Fleur interjected, "Of course nothing happened, Papa! You have no idea how powerful Arthur is. Dozens of Vampires attacked us all at once, and he dealt with them all by himself. I only reinforced the room a little, and it didn't even do much."
After speaking, Fleur, her eyes full of adoration and pride, looked at Gabrielle and added, "Gabrielle, isn't that right?"
"Mhm, that's exactly right. Arthur is so amazing; he protected me and my sister all by himself." Gabriellewas equally proud, as if she had also participated in the battle.
However, looking at the expressions of the Fleursisters, Mr. Delacour felt somewhat conflicted. He was happy that Arthur had successfully protected his daughters against dozens of Vampires.
Even if it had been him, he could have at most only run away with them; he wouldn't have done any better than Arthur.
But seeing the Fleur sisters with their eyes solely on Arthur, he couldn't bring himself to be entirely happy, as if something of his had been stolen.
Especially Fleur's line, "You simply don't understand Arthur…"
Arthur also walked over at this moment, taking Fleur's hand and saying, "Mr. Delacour, these are all things I should do."
Not only Mr. Delacour, but Grindelwald in the distance also had a livid expression.
He hadn't expected Arthur to be so powerful even without using Dark Arts. The attack of the summoned Unicorn was no weaker than Fiendfyre, and it was even more agile.
Dozens of Vampires in front of Arthur were like chickens tied up in overalls being smashed with a basketball; there was no difficulty at all.
Moreover, Arthur still seemed to have energy to spare; killing Vampires while singing and dancing would have been no problem.
This thwarted Grindelwald's plan.
Arthur indeed appeared in the sight of the Wizarding world after today, but not as the heir to the Dark Lord. Instead, he might become famous in the Wizarding world as the next Dumbledore.
Even he and Dumbledore, at Arthur's age, would not have possessed such strength. Perhaps at the same age, the two of them combined couldn't defeat Arthur.
Grindelwald took a deep breath, thinking that he hadn't gained nothing from this. According to his previous investigation of Bernhard's body, he found that the commonality in Arthur's two battles was Lightning Magic.
Only, the last time it was Dark Arts, and this time it wasn't. This meant that Arthur should have developed two sets of magic based on some kind of Lightning Magic.
In this way, he could roughly know Arthur's current level of Dark Arts. This could also be considered a gain.
Thinking about his plan, he realized that whether Arthur used Dark Arts or not had little impact on his overall plan.
The only difference was whether Arthur would stand on his side, which would annoy Dumbledore.
Additionally, he didn't want Arthur to be like Newt, taking up most of Dumbledore's attention.
Looking at the little Witch beside Arthur, he also comforted himself that Arthur didn't seem as pure as Newt, nor as easy to fool as an idiot, so he probably wouldn't become the next Newt.
However, thinking that things hadn't gone entirely according to his plan, he was still a little angry. He finished the wine in his glass, threw down the glass, and left.
Meanwhile, with Arthur.
Shortly after Mr. Delacour returned, Aurors from the French Ministry of Magic also arrived.
After dealing with the Werewolves, they learned that Vampires were causing trouble here, and they rushed to this location, panting.
Charlotte, at Arthur's command, had already laid down Kleine's body. Arthur then dispelled the Soul Guardian magic, and the Aurors regretted not being able to see the unique Unicorn's form.
Knowing that the Vampires had been dealt with, the team of Aurors led by Faris Spavin, Minister for magicof the French Ministry of Magic, also breathed a sigh of relief.
They quickly sent the injured Aurors back for treatment.
Today was not a full moon night. Although the Werewolves had transformed, they could not infect Wizards. However, those who were scratched or bitten by Werewolves would involuntarily exhibit Werewolf-like behaviors in the future, and wounds exposed to moonlight on a full moon night would ache.
Tonight was truly a catastrophe for Paris, even more severe than the great fire Grindelwald set in Parisdecades ago.
Not to mention the property damage; any street the Werewolves passed through was not intact.
More importantly were the long-term consequences.
Within the Auror team alone, more than ten people were bitten by Werewolves, and this after-effect would accompany them for life.
Among Wizards, there were more than twenty injuries caused by Werewolves, and even more among Muggles.
According to incomplete statistics, at least 100 people were killed by Werewolves, and thousands were injured.
The statistics after tomorrow would be even higher, and this doesn't even include those who were injured or killed by Vampires here now.
So, after learning that Arthur had dealt with these Vampires, Faris Spavin, Minister, warmly shook Arthur's hand, thanking him repeatedly until he himself felt he had talked too much and stopped.
As for the issue of Arthur killing so many Vampires, this was merely an act of self-defense Arthur took to protect his companions.
Moreover, compared to the lives of Wizards, the lives of Vampires were not considered lives. With the Vampires making the first move, Arthur had even less of a problem. He even planned to award Arthur a medal later.
The other Aurors, while cleaning up the battlefield here, also curiously observed Arthur.
If they weren't colleagues of The Delacours and knew their level, they would rather believe that The Delacours had killed these Vampires.
Arthur, a student who hadn't even entered his third year, single-handedly killing dozens of Vampires still surprised them too much.
It became even more surprising when an Auror who frequently apprehended Vampires recognized Kleine.
"This is, this is Kleine! Merlin's Eiffel Tower!"
Another Auror nearby asked, "Who is Kleine?"
"He is the Vampire most likely to become the next Elder after the current term of the Vampire Elders ends. Right now, among all Vampires, only the three Great Vampire Elders can command him. According to our Wizarding structure, he would be a Director at the Ministry of Magic, and the one with the highest prestige, most likely to become the Minister."
"Ah! Will there be trouble for killing him?"
The conversation downstairs also caught the attention of Faris Spavin, Minister. When he learned of the situation, he said without hesitation, "It's just a Vampire. Even if we Wizards kill the Vampireprogenitor, there's no problem! Who gave these Vampires the courage to actively attack Wizards? Tomorrow, I will demand an explanation from these damned Vampires!"
Faris Spavin, Minister, was naturally extremely angry.
As a radical among Wizards, he inherently detested Werewolves, Vampires, and other Dark creatures. Previously, the relatively more rational behavior of Vampires had made him regard them with a bit more respect, but now it seemed they were no different from Werewolves.
He had been thinking that he would retire next year and didn't want to blow things out of proportion, but since Vampires and Werewolves had actively caused trouble tonight, he had to consider his reputation after his term.
Tomorrow, the major newspapers might be reporting on him, the Minister, for inaction. And although he was incredibly grateful to Arthur earlier, Arthur was a British Wizard, not a French Wizard. If he didn't act further, he might not be voluntarily retiring, but rather being forced out of office.
