"I have to read all of these?"
Isaline looked at the high stack of documents, her face blank.
"No, this is only a fifth of it,"
Audrey pointed to a corner of the office where there were four more stacks of documents just as high,
"When you add those, that's everything."
Isaline remained speechless for a long time,
"Audrey, exactly how many properties and businesses do you own?"
"More than half of Ukraine?"
Audrey felt a bit embarrassed. Bringing her good friend over to have her write industrial survey reports in her place... was it a bit inhumane?
Future planning came easily to her because she knew the development trends of the future world, but writing industrial reports was truly meticulous work.
But Isaline showed wild joy instead and grabbed Audrey's arm,
"Are you inviting me to be your assistant?"
"Ah..."
Isaline's enthusiasm left Audrey confused,
"Yes, I suppose?"
"That's great!"
Isaline almost jumped for joy,
"Audrey, as long as you give me an official position, I'll help you!"
??
Seeing Audrey's head tilting toward Siberia in confusion, Isaline explained:
"My family is already setting me up on blind dates! They want me to marry into the new nobility, but I don't want that kind of life, Audrey,"
Isaline's eyes were filled with tears,
"But if my personal value is higher than my value in a marriage alliance, maybe they'll let me go! Having a daughter who holds a position in an organization that controls more than half of Ukraine is much more valuable than taking in a son-in-law worth a few hundred million! Help me, Audrey!"
"Alright, it's not a big deal. Is Deputy CEO of the AA Group good enough? As for the official side—I have the final say in the Volyn region, so I'll give you the position of Administrative Director!"
"Deputy? Who's the Chief?"
"Edmond."
"Good, you have a deal!"
...
...
Crouch Manor.
As one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, the Crouch family's foundations were very deep.
Now that Old Barty had become Minister for Magic, the visitors to this old house had become numerous once again.
However, this also led to Barty Crouch Jr.'s miserable life.
In the original universe, Barty Crouch Jr. was rescued from Azkaban by Old Barty and controlled using the Imperius Curse,
But now, because of the many visitors, Old Barty was terrified that Barty Crouch Jr. would be seen, so he kept him confined in the basement.
Two thick chains were shackled to Barty Crouch Jr.'s legs—forged from Mandre metal, they were foolproof.
Winky the house-elf was responsible for his three meals a day.
"Winky, what is that old fossil doing?"
"Little Master, you mustn't speak ill of the old Master. He's doing it for your own good, otherwise if you're seen, you'll be locked in Azkaban again!"
Barty Crouch Jr. laughed madly. "For my own good? He's afraid his political career will be ruined by me!"
His laughter became increasingly wild. "Azkaban? What's the difference between being locked here and being locked in Azkaban?"
"Of course there's a difference," a woman's voice rang out. "In Azkaban, you wouldn't get to enjoy the cooking of a house-elf."
Winky was startled: "Who, who are you?"
The basement door opened automatically, and a tall lady wearing dark robes walked in.
The lady had a thick [TURBAN] wrapped around her head, and her face was pale,
With a wave of her wand, Winky collapsed onto the floor, unconscious.
The Dark Mark on Barty Crouch Jr.'s arm burned hot. He was overjoyed, the anticipation in his eyes overflowing,
"Mr. Barty Crouch Jr., let me introduce myself,"
The lady flashed an unnatural smile that looked somewhat eerie,
"I am Selenis, Selenis Gray."
...
...
Although Isaline was miserably reading through the documents, her heart was happy,
—She could change her own fate, have the chance to work with her idol, could there be anything better than this?
Audrey, meanwhile, took only two hours to finish the development plan and happily returned to the lakeside villa to rest,
"Sister, is it really okay for you to run back and slack off like this?"
Rick chewed and swallowed some spiced beans, then took a sip of elf wine to moisten his throat.
Chapter 146: Comrades (Part 2)
Audrey took the boneless chicken feet handed to her by Momo and stuffed them into her mouth,
"Ith doesn't matthew, Isawine will handwe ith."
She chewed vigorously, her eyes slightly closed, enjoying the gentle touch of the lake breeze on her skin.
This was what a holiday should be like!
The two-way mirror heated up and vibrated. Audrey was stunned.
No way, at a time like this?
"Edmond, how's it going?"
In the mirror, Edmond was panting, with the glow of spells flashing behind him,
"Our large granary in Kherson is under attack! It's wizards! There are about a hundred of them! Quickly notify Vinda! We need reinforcements!"
Audrey's eyes immediately turned dangerous,
"Who are they?"
Edmond deflected a red light with his wand and ducked behind a forklift. "It's the Russians! The group I told you about last time!"
"Understood," Audrey stood up. The next second, she appeared beside Edmond. "I'm here."
Edmond looked at the Audrey in the mirror, then at the Audrey beside him, then back at the mirror. Well, he was in the mirror too!
"Didn't I tell you to call for reinforcements?"
"I am the reinforcements!"
Audrey transformed into her dragon-human form and stepped out boldly,
Immediately, over a dozen red lights shot toward her,
"Heh, they have some standards at least. Not using Killing Curses?"
Audrey didn't dodge. With the constitutions of both a fire dragon and a Dementor, attacks of this level couldn't cause her any harm.
"Edmond, get our people out of here!"
"Can you do it alone?"
"Heh."
"Alright, watch yourself!"
"I'm only giving you two minutes!"
Edmond pointed his wand at the sky, and a bright yellow beam exploded above. The symbol of the Deathly Hallows shone in the sky.
The next moment, all the wizards of The Alliance retreated using Apparition. As for the Muggles in the granary, they were also desperately running out.
In an instant, inside the massive granary, only the Russian wizards and Audrey remained.
"This person is a monster! Everyone group up! Full assault!"
The Russian giving the orders was clearly a veteran,
Perhaps he had served in World War II. Though in his seventies, the iron-blooded aura of a soldier had not faded from him.
Information's impact on a battle is immense. When you don't know that the opponent is actually a human-shaped Dementor, your attacks are neither professional nor effective!
So the concentrated fire of the Russian wizards didn't even count as an itch to Audrey,
She gave a slight smile and waved her wand gently,
Centered on her, a thick mist immediately began to spread,
The scope of the mist was just enough to cover the entire Kherson granary.
The old Russian soldier hurriedly shouted, "Don't panic! Everyone in pairs, guard your comrade's back!"
The mist was thick, with visibility less than two meters. The Russian wizards clustered in twos and threes, cautiously guarding against the upcoming unknown attack.
Audrey smiled. She sensed all the Russian wizards spread throughout the granary. Through the mist, these unlucky fellows were all tainted by her curse.
Now, if she wished, all these people would die violent deaths.
"Avada—"
Audrey stopped herself. The madness in her blood almost made her commit the 'feat' of slaughtering a hundred people in one blow. Fortunately, her soul remained clear.
Audrey couldn't understand the Russian wizards' shouting to each other,
But there was one word she heard very clearly.
"Tovarishch!"
Comrade!
The Soviet Union had already collapsed, yet these people still called each other comrades!
This... this was a group of wizards with faith?
The current point in time wasn't the future; 'comrade' had not yet been assigned unspeakable connotations. At this time, a comrade was a true comrade—a partner with a shared goal!
Red beams of light passed by Audrey, and red flashes flickered occasionally in the mist,
Audrey thought for a few seconds. After all, these people had attacked her granary. Now, they stood on the opposite side of her!
So, her wand still swept out—
"Stupefy!"
