Retirement from Hogwarts

"It seems that I still have a lot of time to take a good tour of this City of Angels. Then we won't stay, my dear CEO." Jack stood up after hearing Tony's answer, and then placed an agreement Got to the table. "Besides, this is your gift for overachieving on your mission."

"12% of Stark Group's shares?" Tony couldn't help shouting when he picked up the agreement. "You don't want to play Absolute Holdings anymore?"

"How is that possible? I think you'd better study the latest shareholding structure of Stark Group."

"Where are we going next?" Hermione looked around curiously on the shuttle leaving the Stark Group's headquarters. Obviously, this urban form that is rarely seen in the Greater London Sector is fatal to her. Appeal.

"Since you are so interested in this city, let's take advantage of the fact that there is nothing to do tonight and take a walk around this technological capital." Hermione had already seen her thoughts in her eyes. Jack said cheerfully.

"Really?" Hermione's eyes almost sparkled with excitement after hearing Jack's suggestion.

"Of course." Jack shrugged and then steered the shuttle towards the most distinctive building in the City of Angels.

"This is Wal-Mart?" Hermione, who was sitting on the shuttle, pointed at the behemoth in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes. This huge mobile shopping mall wrapped in a red-gold titanium alloy shell was very important to Hermione. This kind of cantilever is really new for people who come from the old cantilever.This huge shopping mall, which is hundreds of meters high and several kilometers long, has folded metal flying wings and turbine engines for orbital airborne landings. Everyone who sees it can't help but think of how majestic it will be once they are fully unfolded.

"Wal-Mart... is actually an... orbital assault ship?" Hermione was so surprised that she could hardly open her mouth from ear to ear. Although after so many years of development, it has become common for many large companies to use large motherships as their headquarters. This was the first time she had seen someone use a spaceship like an orbital assault ship, which was almost a disposable consumable, as a shopping mall. "What do they think? They actually use something like an orbital assault ship that is expensive and difficult to reuse as their own shopping mall?"

"Don't be fooled by its appearance, Hermione, this is not one of those thick-skinned disposable turtle shells built in outer space. This is a standard third-level transport starship that truly has its own ability to escape from the planet's gravitational circle. Not only can it Most of the planets in the alliance lift off by themselves in the atmosphere, and those things that seem to be turbine engines are actually external mathematical rate engines. With this kind of engine, they can reach anything you can think of at the cost of some time. place."

Hermione couldn't help but feel a little dazed after listening to Jack's explanation. She couldn't help but look up with fascination at the towering tower-like bridge above the main entrance of the Wal-Mart shopping center and the bursts of lights on it that were flashing in the night sky. Strange warning lights.But when her eyes noticed the big Dimension Group logo on the left side of the bridge, her eyes couldn't help but become weird.

"You also invested in this mobile mall?" Hermione asked Jack a little weirdly.

"That's right, this is a good business." Jack shrugged and said. "It would be a good advertisement to have these spaceships with the logo of the Dimension Group taking off and landing on known planets across the galaxy. On these planets with fixed locations, we can rotate our doghouse themes at any time, and on those planets where there is no need to build such a large We can send these big guys there according to time in shopping mall planets or areas that require shopping services. I have to say that Mr. Wal-Mart is really a genius thinking person, and he can actually think of this kind of building with hundreds of people on a piece of land. What a great idea for a shopping mall.”

"I think the genius of this plan doesn't stop here, right? Once any of the planets where these big guys are located suffers from economic recession, population loss or environmental, war, or any natural or man-made disaster that significantly reduces business income, your business center spacecraft will It can be deployed to other areas, which not only avoids asset losses, but also saves reconstruction funds, and considering the long actual service life of these mothership-class spacecraft, this is really a good idea." Jack tapped lightly. Hermione immediately understood what was going on.

"To be honest, in fact, the fundamental reason why you brought up these big guys is that you don't want to carry those bags. You should be the only shopping mall that is luxurious enough to provide time and space teleportation." After returning to their villa rented by Jack, He Min looked at her fitting room that was already full of clothes she had picked out at Wal-Mart, and finally understood Jack's 'good intentions'.

"How is that possible? It's much cheaper to hire someone to carry the bag." Jack shrugged and walked back to the living room. He turned on the projection of his personal terminal and browsed the news about the interstellar wonders that Tony had mentioned before. Every time Hermione bought clothes A must-have fashion show when you come back.

But when he saw the huge cloud wrapped in the colorful aurora in the news, the warning sign that had been ringing in his heart since he came to the City of Angels was suddenly replaced by this picture. The magnification became clearer, and a wave of dizziness made him fall down on the back of the sofa.Then, driven by a mysterious force, he straightened his body and floated up.

"Seven-colored clouds... will cover the stars'... rays, and the ignorant fools will summon... the beasts that bring disaster. The angelic stars will... shatter in the blue... beams, ancient... The King will return to these... shining stars."

"Jack...Jack...are you okay Jack?" A series of intermittent voices that seemed to come from the horizon woke up Jack who was half asleep.

"Hmm~ It's not bad." Jack got up from the ground and rubbed his red forehead, "It's just that my head seems to have been hit with a stick."

"You hit the ground head first." Hermione looked at the deflated Jack and smiled. Jack was not very unlucky.

"Well, this is really bad. I hope they won't let me lose money." Jack looked at the spider web pattern on the crystal coffee table that was created by his forehead and shrugged helplessly. "What did I just do? Why do you look so strange?"

"You just...may have made a prophecy." Hermione said uncertainly. "When I was changing my clothes just now, I suddenly heard you start to speak with echoes outside. When I ran out of it, you were already wrapped in a dim golden mana that I had never seen before and floated around. in the air."
