Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

Looking at the determined eyes of the boy in front of him, Carl knew that it was very impolite to think this way.

But he just couldn't help it. He had already imagined a scene in his mind, which was what the other party wanted to perform now.

He is an idealist who was suppressed by the secular world and reality, and suddenly met like-minded comrades and organizations.

The urgency of wanting to join the organization and realize his ideals had already been radiated from the inside out through his expressions and actions.

If I hadn't known the other person's identity in advance, and the two of us had never met or known each other.

Maybe he would be moved, but now he just found it funny.

So in order to hold back his laughter, he acted like a political commissar of an organization, staring at the other person with firm eyes.

He held the documents with one hand and supported the table with the other hand, leaning his body forward slightly.

"I appreciate your trust, Mr. Lestrange, but at the same time I have to be skeptical of a strange little wizard I've never met."

“Why do you have so much information? Why are you so eager to join my business?”

"I will not read these documents. Please convince me with your words."

"Sure enough, he was a little skeptical of me and asked me to show my ability, and I was right."

A second ago, Lestrange felt secretly delighted, thinking that he had guessed the other person's inner thoughts correctly.

But in just the next second, his rational analytical ability seemed to disappear completely from his mind.

There is only one voice left in the entire brain.

"Why are those eyes so beautiful, as blue and deep as gemstones."

He didn't know how long he stared there stupidly until he heard a voice calling him.

"Mr. Lestrange, Mr. Lestrange, is there something dirty on my face?"

"I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

Kevin Lestrange quickly lowered his head, apologized softly, and put his right hand over his left chest, feeling the beating of the gold pocket watch on his chest.

I said this to myself with guilt.

"My light, I pray to you, give me the strength to resist the temptation of beauty."

"Under your shining light, may my heart remain pure and not be lost in momentary pleasures."

"Please guide me to uphold my morals and principles, so that I can stand firm in the face of temptation."

"Amen."

After finishing his prayer, he felt that the guilt deep in his heart had dissipated a little, but he didn't dare to look up easily.

After taking a few deep breaths, he lowered his head and spoke softly.

"I need a little time to think, okay?"

"Of course." Carl nodded with a smile, but he also had a hint of doubt in his heart. He seemed to have sensed some strange feelings just now.

It felt like someone was praying to him, but that didn't matter. The key point now was to quickly resolve the issue at hand.

After a brief moment of thought, Kevin Lestrange spoke again.

But this time he didn't look up, because he knew that the other person was very close to him and he could feel the heat radiating from the other person's body.

He must resist temptation with action, and he must be true to his own light.

"First, let me answer your first question. Why do I have so much information? The reason is very simple. It comes from my family."

"I believe that even people who don't know much about the wizarding world have heard of the name Lestrange."

"As one of the oldest pure-blood families, our family has always been very concerned about the changes in the magical world and has been continuously collecting information."

"The family is well versed in many secrets of the wizarding world, not to mention someone as outstanding as you."

"Although what I'm going to say next may sound like a compliment, even my arrogant relatives have to admit that it's because of your presence."

"The British wizarding world has undergone significant changes, not to mention that you defeated Voldemort."

"That's quite capable." Carl's mood suddenly became happy, not because the other party was flattering him.

Just because the other party's answer is indeed quite good, I use my last name to increase the credibility of what I say next.

He used his family as a cover to clear himself, and finally flattered the other party to make it easier for the other party to accept this explanation.

Although the overall answer is not excellent, it can be considered passing.

So Carl continued to smile.

"I accept this explanation. Now let's move on to the second question. Why should I accept you to join my plan?"

"Please give me a perfect reason like the one just now."

Kevin Lestrange breathed a sigh of relief, and without any hesitation or excessive questioning, he continued to analyze with his head down.

“Before I answer, I would like to briefly analyze the problems the organization is facing now.”

"Can't you just give a direct answer?" Carl asked.

"No." Kevin Lestrange answered simply, "Before you understand the problem, any answer will be hasty."

"Although we are all wizards with magic, I have to admit that many people in my family look down on Muggles."

"But the theoretical tools created by Muggles on many issues are still very useful for reference, such as answering a question."

"Giving a direct answer is often very hasty. You have to go through three steps."

“That is, what is the problem, why does the problem occur, and how to solve the problem.”

"The information I showed you before is the process by which I figured out what the problem is, so I must explain it clearly before answering."

"Then tell me." Karl didn't dwell on this question any more.

Kevin Lestrange continued.

"First of all, in the past year, the British wizarding world has basically been under your control."

"You control the entire British wizarding world, 86% of commercial shops, 100% of the public opinion industry, including the Daily Prophet, and the newly emerged live TV channels."

"Your presence is behind all new products. The only downside may be that there are still challenging competitors in the financial industry."

"However, the Gringotts robbery that happened a few days ago has perfectly solved this problem, so now the entire organization is facing an urgent problem."

"It should no longer be a magical world. After all, even the pure-blood families with the most noble bloodlines have lost the ability to fight against you."

"So according to my analysis, your next target is the Muggle world based in the UK."

“As for what projects are involved, I cannot give you an answer until I get exact information.”

"But I can tell you what I think in advance."
