"Can't find anyone?" Fudge was shocked. In the midst of the series of events, his mouth was moving faster than his brain, and he blurted out, "These people aren't coming to work on Saturday? Do they want to quit?!"
"Minister, you're right, they're too audacious." Umbridge smiled and, thinking herself ladylike, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Scrimgeour frowned. "Mr. Minister, is there anything else?"
"Yes, yes. Rufus, I need your help to invite these people. I hope to communicate with them face to face. That shouldn't violate any rules, right?" Fudge said meaningfully. Just because he was afraid of Dumbledore didn't mean he was afraid of others.
Rufus Scrimgeour himself was one of the most powerful figures in the Department of Magic, and his involvement behind the scenes was certainly not uncommon.
Actually, Fudge, being a politically astute individual, was being overly sensitive. Larvin and his group hadn't even considered targeting these middle-aged or elderly political figures; it was Scrimgeour who noticed something amiss in their actions. Although Larvin and his group made no attempt to conceal their activities, brazenly smearing banners and letters into Fudge's room.
"—Of course it doesn't violate the regulations, but we need time to make contact."
"Hurry! Go now," Fudge said.
Scrimgeour stood up and walked toward the door, stepping over the envelopes and letters scattered on the floor. His tall figure even blocked the view of Foche, who was sitting behind his desk, and Umbridge, who was sitting next to his desk.
"By the way, Minister, if the gentlemen you need to find are not back for a while, I will report to you."

Fudge was confident that even with Dumbledore backing him, these people wouldn't ignore the Minister of Magic's goodwill; they would certainly put aside all their work and affairs to speak with him. That was the Minister of Magic's pride.
A confident smile radiated from his face, as naturally as the sun rising every day.
However, the British Isles suffer from severe smog, and the sun is nowhere to be seen on cloudy or rainy days.
Sunlight streamed into the room through the glass windows. Various master-crafted artifacts "unearthed last week" were displayed in the spaces between the carved wooden beams.
A group of wizards, the oldest being twenty-four or twenty-five and the youngest in their teens, commented on the environment.
Some say there are so many Muggles that the number of people in this tourist area far exceeds the total number of wizards in England.
Larvin: "So the more I learn about Muggles, the more I feel that perhaps, only back then, the Secret Law protected Muggles."
His words silenced everyone present.
These people often chatted with Ryan during their school years, and through these conversations, they gained a general understanding of the Muggle world today.
The flaws of the wizarding world are also quite clear.
The wizarding world is too small in number, which is its most fatal weakness.
It's like Voldemort and the Death Eaters killing wizards. If they kill a hundred or so, it will cause huge panic because the number of wizards in the whole of England will be reduced by a fraction of that.
However, if a Muggle terrorist group kills a hundred or so people, it will only cause political panic, because the prime minister and ministers will resign due to public outrage.
After the high-ranking officials resigned, ordinary people began to discuss: "This terrorist group is not so great. Killing so few people is too peaceful. They are too peace-loving!"
Back in the day, our Queen was in Ireland, shedding blood everywhere, and guess what happened?
Later on, we became a regular army, a family.
With such terrifying fertility and a massive population, Muggles are bound to produce extraordinary geniuses.
Even if a genius is one in ten thousand, one in a million, or one in ten million, hundreds of such geniuses can be found globally within the same time period.
In contrast, in the wizarding world, let alone within the same period, it's not possible to find a wizard who can become a legend even in two or three hundred years.
With this comparison, the superiority is immediately apparent.
"As the level of medical care for ordinary people improves, their population will only increase. Perhaps we will all see that there will be tens of billions of people crammed onto this small planet," Ryan said. He observed that his seniors looked bewildered by the number tens of billions.
Because the number of billions is too large.
When this number is put together with the population, it means a sea of people, countless geniuses emerging like stars, shining in the long river of history; it means that the knowledge and experience accumulated by generation after generation will undergo earth-shattering transformation and explosion in the next ten or twenty years.
This means that it will be a brilliant era.
Those living in this era may not see it, but when their descendants open the history books, they will clearly discover what happened during this period, how many upheavals and unpredictable changes occurred, and how many brilliant meteors illuminated human civilization.
Of course, a large population not only brings demographic dividends, but also means a massive amount of daily necessities, means of production, and essential elements such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
The latter, however, is the wizard's opportunity. He often thinks of the "Plan for the Future Development of the Wizarding World" that he wrote down word by word in the Room of Requirement.
To help ordinary people understand wizards.
It makes ordinary people yearn for wizards.
To make ordinary people dependent on products made by wizards.
To make wizards the most special members of humanity.
After all, if the wealthy and powerful can do all of the above, there's no reason why a wizard with magical abilities couldn't; at most, they might need some magical means—
Finally, since the world always needs a leadership group, there's no reason why it can't be wizards.
"Ten billion people!" Larvin exclaimed in surprise. He looked out the window, where he could probably only see a thousand or so people, but the area was already packed with people.
10 billion people.
Back then, even if a wizard who adhered to the principle of seclusion possessed a memory charm or a Muggle banishment charm, could they truly remain undetected by Muggles?
Larvin had found his answer.
Everyone was stunned by the term "hundred billion".
Some people then changed the subject, saying that these handicrafts were not very good and looked like they had been done perfunctorily. They wanted to use this to prove the superiority of wizarding art.
However, someone immediately answered him, telling him that Muggle factories could produce tens of thousands of these handicrafts in a single day. These handicrafts themselves might not have much artistic value, but the industrial sophistication they embody is unimaginable!
"But we can do it too! Ryan's communicator is just like that! What's it called, Industrialization!" The man was very unconvinced because this industrial factory production line had indeed appeared in the wizarding world.
"But we only have one Lane. Even Headmaster Dumbledore never considered doing that—"
