Fudge personally sent Ethan to the door, called Andrea twice, and Andrea came to the door.
"It's getting late, Andrea; please see Ethan out," Fudge said to Andrea.
Ethan didn't understand who was protecting whom when a half-drunk girl was sent to escort a witcher at night.
However, Ethan accepted Fudge's kindness, so he followed Andrea out of the door.
Breathing in the fresh fragrance of flowers in the garden, Andrea, who was still a little drunk, hugged Ethan's arm and leaned against Ethan's.
Feeling the air's softness and faint fragrance, Ethan and Andrea did not speak, and the two walked silently on the path full of flowers.
Good times are always short-lived. The two of them took little time to reach the intersection. From this position, they could already see several other houses nearby.
'I wonder if they were Muggles or other wizards.'
This made Ethan and Andrea attract the attention of some passersby, and Andrea seemed a little shy.
Seeing that someone was paying attention to her, Andrea hurriedly straightened up.
"Then, see you later." Andrea tilted her head and said to Ethan.
"Goodbye, Andrea; thank you for your hospitality today." Ethan looked at Andrea with a smile.
Before leaving, Andrea suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Ethan's cheek lightly, "Goodbye, Mr. Hero." Andrea said softly.
After speaking, he turned his head and disappeared into the fragrance-filled path full of flowers.
Ethan touched the slightly moist cheek that Andrea's lips touched just now, not knowing what to say for a while.
Ethan was curious to know if Fudge influenced Andrea's behavior because he didn't think he was attractive enough to make a girl he had just met fall in love with him at first sight.
As for Fudge's proposal, Ethan also thought about it. From today's conversation, it can be seen that Fudge was intelligent.
So, Fudge spends such a hefty price, even at the cost of pushing his daughter to win over him; the only possibility is that Fudge is afraid.
Fudge is well aware of how powerful Dumbledore's prestige is in the wizarding world. If Dumbledore wants to, he could directly dismiss Fudge as Minister of Magic at any time.
Therefore, Fudge chose support of the pure-blood families headed by the Malfoy family to compete with Dumbledore.
He even married a woman from the Parkinson's family to win over these pure-blood families.
But this is just a trick for the eyes. With the further penetration of the Ministry of Magic by the pure blood family, many key departments were occupied by the descendants of the pure blood family.
These magical families do not have the restraint and good temper of Dumbledore, and they expand their influence in the Ministry of Magic like spiders weaving webs.
Even within the Ministry of Magic, occasionally, there were voices against him, led by old Barty Crouch, who has been brooding since he failed to run for the Minister of Magic and is the mainstream opposition to Fudge within the Ministry of Magic.
In such a complicated situation, Fudge could only do his best to check and balance it until the appearance of Ethan gave Fudge a new hope.
Fudge learned the entire process of the Battle of Knockturn Alley that night through many, many sources within the Ministry of Magic.
This led him to the terrifying conclusion that Ethan's abilities were far superior to other ordinary wizards and might even be on par with Dumbledore.
Fudge then used all his resources to investigate Ethan's background.
Soon, Fudge was pleasantly surprised to discover Ethan's innocent background. He was neither a descendant of the pure-blood family nor "Dumbledore's man," even Fudge learned about Ethan through some secret insiders.
The appearance of the unfounded Ethan made Fudge ecstatic, and he didn't even bother to question Ethan's bizarre background that seemed to appear out of thin air.
He only knew that Ethan must be the best way to break the deadlock. As long as he could win over Ethan for his use, Ethan would become his best support.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to give the maximum authority he could use to win over Ethan and even sold some of his interests to other forces to prevent their intervention.
In his opinion, as long as he can win over Ethan, many problems in this situation can be easily solved.
From the beginning to the end, Fudge never doubted that his incompetence caused the current situation.
After leaving Fudge's house, Ethan did not rush to return to Hogwarts but began to hang out in London; each modern facility awakened Ethan's memory of his long-distance past life that was fading away.
Ethan wandered on the streets of London, sometimes going to the food stall to eat some snacks and sometimes going to see the music fountain on the roadside, Ethan quietly enjoying his leisure time alone.
Suddenly, a strange noise in a deep alley caught Ethan's attention.
"Please leave me; I've already given you all the money!" A woman's cry came from the deep alley and was captured by the witcher's senses.
"It's not so cheap, little girl; even if I agree, our little brother won't agree." There were several men's wretched laughter from the alley.
Ethan frowned; he understood what was going on in the alley.
Ethan's leisurely vibe was utterly destroyed in an instant. He gently squeezed his knuckles; it seemed that today's vacation would have to be recovered with his fists.
Dirty alleys stink, and sewage was everywhere; it's was good as Knockturn Alley.
Ethan took a few steps in and found the source of the sound.
A few dirty gangsters surrounded a young woman with pale blond hair in a professional suit, laughing. Now, even a fool could see what the situation was.
The long and narrow shadow of Ethan cast from the street lamps outside the alley soon caught the attention of the gangsters.
"Go your own way; I advise you to stay out of business!" A thug waved the steel pipe in his hand and warned Ethan.
"Gentleman! Please help me! Hurry up and call the police!" The young woman on the ground realized someone had found her and hurriedly cried for help.
Ethan didn't say a word and still walked forward step by step, with a half-smile expression in his mouth.
He has been holding back a lot of fire, and now he finally has a place to vent.
"Are you looking for death!" A gangster with a baseball bat was enraged by Ethan's behavior, cursed angrily, and charged at Ethan with a baseball bat.
The gangster swung a stick fiercely, but it was empty, and Ethan only slightly sideways his body, dodging the seemingly powerful stick.
Immediately afterward, the gangster discovered that a fist was rapidly enlarged in front of him, and then a sharp pain came from his face.
The gangster was directly punched in the face by Ethan, his teeth mixed with blood and flew out of his mouth, drawing a graceful arc in the air and falling to the ground.
He passed out almost without making a sound.
