Ellis Island, New York, is a famous tourist attraction located southwest of Battery in Manhattan, not far from the Statue of Liberty. In the early 20th century, it was America's main immigration checkpoint. It closed in 1945, and the buildings on the island became an immigration museum, attracting a large number of tourists every day.

Today, the island was even more crowded. The small lawn in front of the museum was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder. There were dozens of reporters alone, and tourists and locals filled almost every available space. A small platform had been set up under the flagpole, and everyone was patiently waiting for the arrival of an important figure.

Although it was more than ten minutes late, people did not show any anxiety or dissatisfaction. When a tall and handsome man in an expensive suit walked out of the museum's office and strode toward the stage, people spontaneously made way for him and gave him enthusiastic applause that lingered for a long time.

The handsome man with a fine stubble and striking good looks, possessed a pair of melancholic, deep blue eyes that could captivate countless young women. He smiled and stretched out his arms to quiet the crowd, who immediately fell silent, knowing that Mayor Barrow, known as the Knight of Light of New York, was about to begin his speech.

On the way, Bai Lin also inquired about Mayor Biro from DeSantis. This man had an extraordinary life like a CEO in a novel, and was extremely popular among the people. After graduating from Princeton University, he entered politics, rising from a small tax officer to a district attorney, and from running for councilor to being elected mayor of New York City in just two and a half years.

Biro is very good at packaging himself and has shown an extremely tough attitude towards corrupt officials, underground transactions, and violent crimes. He can also find a very suitable balance between the interests of the chaebols and the demands of the people at the bottom. As a result, the chaebols trust him and the people support him. He is practically a perfect person.

Of course, in Bai Lin's eyes, the more perfect something is, the more likely it is to have a hidden secret... Aside from Catherine and Yan Nishuang, there's also Lulu, Youxi...

For a human being to do such a job so well would be extremely difficult, but for Hasturists who can easily control the minds of others, all of Biro's actions were much simpler.

Bai Lin and DeSantis took a taxi to the westernmost part of Brooklyn. Looking up, they could see the beautiful Upper New York Bay. Across the bay was New Jersey. The Statue of Liberty stood tall at the mouth of the bay, a must-see for every tourist visiting America. Less than 300 meters north of the Statue of Liberty was Ellis Island, a square artificial island.

With Bai Lin's keen eyesight, he could see from afar that the island was bustling with people and very lively. He grabbed DeSantis's wrist and activated Apparition. The next second, they were already in a corner of the Ellis Island Museum, the area furthest from the lecture lawn.

A bespectacled man who was secretly urinating in the grove was startled by their appearance. He quickly pulled up his pants, looking embarrassed, and said, "Ha, there's a line at the museum, you know what I mean, buddy..."

Bai Lin gave him a light gesture and then led DeSantis out.

Bai Lin infused his eyes with a bit of chaotic elemental energy, and instantly a very concealed magical shield appeared before him, covering the entire lawn and the platform. Bai Lin was very familiar with this kind of magical shield; it could block some ranged magic or magic cannons, prevent phantoms from appearing, and also had an alarm function. It was clearly an arrangement by the American Ministry of Magic, indicating that this Biro had already received the support and protection of the Ministry of Magic.

However, this level of magical shield was of little use to Bai Lin's disordered elemental energy, and he walked in as easily as an ordinary Muggle civilian.

DeSantis spotted Biro from afar, his eyes practically spitting fire, but he dared not show it. The scene of their last encounter was still vivid in his mind. Biro could not only easily turn his words into meows and barks, but also make him strip naked and perform a striptease in public while he was still conscious. In front of Biro, DeSantis felt like an insignificant ant.

Even with Bai Lin's backing, DeSantis was still uncertain. He had no idea of ​​Bai Lin's strength, but he was determined to try, even if it meant death, unwilling to give up any chance for revenge. Last time, whenever he got within a hundred meters of Biro, his nightmare memories were activated, causing him immense mental anguish. Today, being with Bai Lin, he was unaffected, which gave him more confidence in Bai Lin.

Bai Lin used some tricks of confusion magic to make himself and DeSantis have a distracting effect. Even without disguise or mask, they could be ignored by others, as if they were just a street sweeper or an ordinary stone. This is similar to the magic wizards use to hide themselves from Muggles.

Bai Lin squeezed into the crowd, pulled two small flags from an uncle's bag, and waved them like they were, while observing the surrounding environment.

He glanced around and couldn't help but smile. Elizabeth, accompanied by several bodyguards in black, sat prominently in the first row below the stage, dressed in a long white gown, exuding elegance and grandeur. Meanwhile, his adoptive uncle, Haciris, sat at the other end of the stage, seemingly acting as Elizabeth's rival.

DeSantis said that Biro had the support of a conglomerate, and the biggest conglomerate in New York is none other than Elizabeth's Witts family. As far as fighting crime is concerned, Hysiris is naturally a target. However, the fact that he can still be here proves that these people must have reached some kind of agreement in secret. That's why Elizabeth needed to transform into a Shadow Demon to attack Hysiris's club. Strictly speaking, it violates the spirit of the contract.

Bai Lin glanced at the handsome man on the platform without showing any emotion. This guy had a firm gaze and a high-pitched voice. At first glance, he didn't seem like the kind of evil and arrogant man possessed by a monster. But Bai Lin had seen many different Hastur cultists, and this kind of temperament was quite similar to that of the war messenger Asatl.

Looking at the fascinated expressions of the people around him, they must have been more or less influenced by Biro's mental magic. Just think of Asatel's specialty, which is to weave dreams for people based on their thoughts and desires, and to prescribe the right medicine for the disease, which is always effective.

This kind of mental magic damage isn't particularly high. As long as Biro is defeated in the end, most people can heal themselves, it just takes some time. Bai Lin didn't plan to act in front of everyone. He planned to wait until the speech was over, then follow Biro to his lair and wipe out these octopus monsters in one fell swoop.

Bai Lin's idea was good, but Bi Luo didn't follow his script. Although his speech attracted so many people, his real target was only two people: two big shots who were at odds with each other in the audience. These two were cunning and shrewd, and under normal circumstances, they were impossible to approach. Today, they were gathered together, so how could Bi Luo give up such a good opportunity?
