Chapter 141 - Official Attorney of the Company (1/2)

Steve sighed once Jin Karther. Persuading the man to give up him shop and join theirs instead had been a tough battle but the man had finally decided to join them and had just signed a 5 year employment contract.

Harry had placed a lot of trust in him by allowing him the freedom to run the company as his wished and he did not wanted to let him down.

He still remembered the bitter feeling when those board decided to remove him as the CEO of apple and he did not wanted to feel like that ever again.

He looked at the various papers kept on his desk and decided to finish them quickly so that he could start working on the other projects given to him by Harry when there was a knock on his door.

”Come in.” He said and his secretory opened and entered the room along with Ted Tonks, two of his body guards and two Aurors.

He looked at the Aurors and sighed inwardly.

Harry had told them that they would come back once again and the boy was right once again.

Either the boy a genius in reading people or the ministry of Magical Britain was too predictable.

He remembered the aurors as the men who were standing behind John Dawlish when that stupid man had threathened them in the middle of Diagon Alley.

The fact that they had the gall come here once again after that debacle meant that they were either really stupid or they had found some incriminating evidence against their company.

He had a very good idea what that evidence was because Harry had told him about it already.

”What does our guests want this time?” he asked while looking at Ted Tonks.

”We're here to arrest you Mr Steve Jobs. Please don't resist and come quietly with us to the ministry in order to answer for your crimes.” One of the auror said and stepped forward but was blocked by one of the guards.

”Move aside halfbreed.” The auror snarled with hatred and disgust at the werewolves which made Steve frown.

Harry had told him about how the purebloods discriminating against the other races but to hear that from someone and to see something like that happening right in front of his eyes were two very different thing.

The guard however was not bothered by the treatment at all as he had always been treated like that by the wizards and had long since grown use to such treatment and continued blocking the auror's path with his larger body.

”Now look here you halfbreed. Move aside if you…”

”May I ask why you want to arrest the CEO of our company?” Ted suddenly asked and the auror stopped trying to push his way through and turned to face Ted.

”And who are you again?” the auror asked.

”I'm Ted Tonks. The official attorney of this company.” Ted replied ”Now could you please explain why you want to arrest Mr Steve?”

”None of your business Mud blood. Stay out of this unless you want to join him in Azkaban as well.” The auror replied before turning to face him and he let out a tired sigh before asking.

”So take it that you're applying the law of the 'Do as I say or I'll blow your brains', I ȧssume.” He said and took some perverse enjoyment from how quickly the color drained from the aurors face.

No doubt he still must be remembering the scene of Auror John Dawlish being disgraced by the minister and losing his job in front of the whole country.

The auror took a deep breath and said ”Mr Steve, you're under arrest for holding magical books in your Library that are deemed illegal by the Ministry of Magic. Now please surrender yourself peacefully or you'll also suffer the charges of 'Resisting Arrest'.” The man said somberly and he saw Ted smile from behind the auror.

This was going just like Harry had predicted and now they just needed to go along with the plan.

”And which Ministry of Magic would that be auror?” Ted asked mockingly and the auror rounded on him once again.

Steve found it a bit funny how the auror had to turn around whenever he had to talk with them but didn't let the amusement show on his face.

”What kind of stupid question is that you mudblood. I am talking about the Ministry of Magic of course.” The auror snarled ”But then again. What else could anyone expect from low lives like you.”

Steve frowned at the insults but Ted maintained a nonchalant attitude throughout the cursing as if he had long since gotten used to such discrimination.

That thought itself disturbed him more than anything as he wondered how fuċkėd up this magical society was.

”If that's the case then I must inform you that you're working outside your jurisdiction Auror.” And before the auror could reply, Ted took out a piece of paper from his pocket and shoved it at the auror's face before passing another piece of paper to the second auror who was quietly observing the whole debacle with a shrewd expression.

”As you can see, this Mall has been created in the island Lilta Dimun which is the private property of Mr Harry Potter. The island belong to the Self governing Archipelago named Faroe Islands which does not fall under British soil.”

”So as this whole area is outside Magical Britain, the laws of the Ministry does not apply here so as a result, we have not broken any law.”

”In fact, it is you two who are trespassing in foreign soil and it is within our right to capture the two of you and throw you in a dungeon.”

”But Mr Potter is a generous person and does not want any needless conflict so we'll allow you two to walk away on your two legs this time. But be warned, we'll not be so generous the next time.” Ted said took the papers from the aurors' hands who were still in a bit of daze from the lashing they had just received.

Steve himself was a bit shocked as he had usually only known Ted as a gentle person and it was the first time he was seeing the Attorney side of the man.
