The massive $200 million investment truly shocked bar owner Nallaq and the bar's patrons, and even Queenie was taken aback.
"How much money do you actually have?" Queenie asked, unable to contain her curiosity, after returning to her hotel room from the Blind Pig Bar.
Su had previously said that he was rich, very rich, enough to buy any beautiful clothes he wanted, live in a spacious and luxurious mansion, and do anything he wanted.
Queenie hadn't taken it too seriously at first, assuming the Su family was just "average" rich, but now she realized she was wrong, terribly wrong.
Is this considered "just being rich"?
That's incredibly rich!
Two hundred million US dollars were spent without hesitation or heartache!
That's two hundred million US dollars! Not to mention her, even the top people in the wizarding world might not have two hundred million US dollars, let alone spend two hundred million US dollars in one go.
"How much money do I actually have? That's a difficult question to answer. I don't really know how much money I have, but no matter how much I have, I can't spend it all." Su said with a light laugh, "In fact, for a while I was really struggling with how to spend my money."
"boom!"
As they were talking, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the room, followed by a slight impact that made the glass in the room tremble slightly, almost shattering it.
The sudden sound startled Queenie, who quickly ran to the balcony to look outside.
"Oh my god, is that... is that an Obscurus?" Queenie exclaimed, taking a deep breath as she looked at the raging black wind in the distance.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The black wind wreaked havoc on the streets and buildings, and screams of panic echoed everywhere as buildings were destroyed one after another.
Seeing this, Sue calmly shielded Queenie behind her and looked into the distance to spot Tina and Newt waving at them from the rooftop of a building not far away.
"Whoosh—" Su Shi teleported there with Queenie.
"Are you alright?" Queenie asked Tina anxiously.
Tina shook her head: "We're fine, it's just..."
She frowned as she looked at the Black Wind wreaking havoc in the distance and at Security Minister Graves on the street.
“This Obscurus is incredibly powerful,” Newt said gravely. “I have to go help it.”
With that, Newt handed the magical briefcase to Tina: "If anything happens to me, I hope you can take care of them for me."
After saying that, Newt Apparated directly to the vicinity of the Obscurus.
Without a second thought, Tina turned around and handed the suitcase to Queenie: "Take good care of them."
With that, he followed after them with a loud bang.
Queenie, holding the box, paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Su Shi.
"Why are you looking at me? Are you going to go up and help me? Give me the boxes and let me take care of them?" Su asked jokingly.
Queenie shook her head dejectedly. She wasn't the type of wizard who excelled at combat, and she decided it was better not to go and cause trouble when faced with a powerful and dangerous creature like the Obscurus.
Newt and Tina, hiding nearby, overheard the conversation between Security Minister Graves and the Obscurus, and were surprised to discover that the Obscurus was actually Credence of Second Salem.
Tina was demoted from her Auror status because she couldn't stand Credence being mistreated by his foster mother, who was also the leader of the Second Salem, and used magic without permission.
Unexpectedly—Credence is actually the Obscure One?!
What's even more unexpected is that Security Secretary Graves actually wanted to use Credence and the Obscurus?!
“Help him, he’s just a child.” Tina looked at Newt.
Newt nodded, then disappeared with a whoosh and chased after Credence.
Security Minister Graves also wanted to give chase, but Tina suddenly rushed out, picked up her wand, and pointed it at her.
"Tina, you always show up at the wrong time!" Security Minister Graves sneered and launched an attack with his wand.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The two swung their wands and attacked each other. Their magic seemed to become an electric current, and they fought back and forth like a tug-of-war, neither willing to give in.
In the end, Security Minister Graves proved to be the stronger one, and his magical electric current blasted Tina away.
A black wind raged and gradually approached the subway station.
Although the Muggle police officers did not know the specifics, they had already set up a route here, with several vintage cars parked across the intersection, and the police officers pointing their guns at the approaching Black Wind.
"shot!"
At the command, a deafening barrage of gunfire erupted as bullets rained down on Black Wind.
Chapter 260 [This text contains garbled text and missing chapters. The complete latest chapter is updated here: https://wwa.lanzoui.com/b010pzc9i] Did the silent death coincide with Graves' rebellion?
Dozens of police officers fired wildly at the approaching Obscurus from the sky. The bullets whistled through the black wind that the Obscurus had transformed into, without causing it any damage.
"boom!"
The wind howled, and the police cars and officers blocking the road were swept into the sky without any resistance, finally crashing to the ground and meeting their demise.
Black wind slipped into the subway station.
Newt followed closely behind, carefully entering the subway station.
The subway station was deserted and silent. Newt followed the corridor, searching for the Omniscient trail.
Outside the subway station, Security Minister Graves arrived with his men and set up a barrier around the station.
Once the barrier is successfully set up, outsiders will not be able to enter.
Just as the barrier was about to be completed, Tina slipped into it from a corner.
In the subway station, Newt found Obscurus in a corner.
“Hey, I…I’ve met people like you before. I don’t mean you any harm. I want to help you.” Newt looked sincerely at Obscurity.
The black wind gradually subsided and finally transformed into human form, reverting to Credence's appearance.
He huddled on the ground, cautiously raising his head to look at Newt.
Newt slowly extended his hand, trying his best to appear harmless and friendly. Perhaps it was because he had been dealing with magical creatures for many years, but his demeanor or his actions easily earned him trust.
Although Credence is human, he is insecure and somewhat withdrawn. In addition, the Obscurus within him gives him a strong intuition. At least for now, he can sense whether Newt has any ill intentions.
To be fair, Credence's intuition wasn't that exaggerated. He was thoroughly deceived by Security Minister Graves, who had been using him as an undercover agent to find the Obscurus, constantly coaxing and deceiving him, even promising to teach him magic after the mission was accomplished.
But it was all fake.
For Credence, Security Secretary Graves was probably the only person he could trust, and someone he trusted completely. To be deceived by such a person must have been a huge blow to him.
So, he completely lost control and broke down. However, he was kind at heart, and after a period of unrestrained venting, he gradually calmed down when facing Newt.
"May I come closer to you?" Newt asked tentatively, slowly bending over and trying to get closer to Credence.
"boom--"
A spell struck from afar, and Newt fell to the ground with a thud, turning his head to look.
On the other side, Security Minister Graves slowly walked over.
"boom!"
Credence transformed into a black wind once more and escaped.
As Security Minister Graves approached Newt, he continuously cast spells on Newt with his wand.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Zzzzz—" Security Minister Graves' wand emitted electric currents that continuously attacked Newt. He hated Newt for meddling in other people's business and also hated Newt for almost ruining his plans.
However, the hysterical Minister of Security, Graves, made Credence, who had originally fled, unable to hold back. Seeing the other man's ferocious and terrifying appearance, and witnessing Newt's suffering, he inexplicably thought of himself.
boom!
In its silent form, it suddenly charged toward Security Minister Graves.
Security Minister Graves teleported away, but the Obscurial relentlessly pursued him. The two chased each other through the subway tunnels, accompanied by a series of rumbling and shattering sounds. Before long, the subway station was a mess, and the ground above them was also smashed open by the Obscurial.
The situation inside the subway station was instantly exposed to everyone's eyes, and more and more people gathered outside. Although they could not get close to the subway station, they could see what was happening inside.
Whether it's the Obscurus or Fantastic Beasts, they are now completely exposed to the Muggles.
It must be said that the rampaging Oblivion was indeed very strong, especially in such a relatively small space. After several crazy attacks, even though Security Minister Graves kept dodging and resisting, he was eventually knocked to the ground.
Just as the Obscurial was about to kill Security Minister Graves, Tina suddenly appeared and tried to calm him down. Newt also came to help, trying to turn the Obscurial back into Credence.
Tina and Newt's intentions were good, because Obscurians are dangerous, and if Credence really lost control and was affected or completely turned into an Obscurian, he might die.
It should be noted that apart from him, very few other Obscurials lived past the age of ten.
Tina and Newt hope Credence can calm down and turn back from his misbehavior so that they can find a way to get him back.
However, sometimes good intentions can backfire, or rather... the timing of such good intentions can be inappropriate.
Tina had a past connection with Credence, and Newt also had good intentions, so the kind-hearted Credence did gradually calm down.
· ····Requesting flowers·· ······
Credence's figure gradually emerged from the black wind.
then……
A magical attack suddenly struck Credence.
Tina turned around in surprise and saw that the members of the Magic Council, holding magic wands, had appeared one by one.
"No, no..." Tina shouted urgently, trying to stop them, but no one listened to her.
boom! boom! boom!
