Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

The reason why Carl didn't hit the old man who was pretending to be cool in front of him like he did to Cedric before was because of him.

On the one hand, it was because of the role she was playing now. After all, she was the magic queen who controlled the Saints organization.

One still needs to be more elegant in one's behavior. It is still a bit inappropriate to slap an old man in public.

On the other hand, it's certainly not because he has the ability to read minds, nor is he some old asshole who likes to pry into other people's thoughts.

I like to pry into other people's inner world whenever I have nothing to do, and if I see something disgusting, my pure heart won't be able to bear it.

The reason why he has been kept until now is just before the big show begins.

He found Mr. Strauss and confirmed it again and again, and got accurate information that the person in front of him should not be a mentally retarded or mentally ill person.

This is not because he is cautious, but the French Ministry of Magic's recent moves are really unexpected.

He looked like an erratic psychopath, so he needed confirmation from multiple parties before getting a guarantee from Mr. Strauss.

Kyle Raymond is a wizard with normal intelligence. Apart from being timid, greedy and lustful, he has no shortcomings.

Karl then felt relieved and gave the final order to Mr. Strauss. After all, as long as the other party was not mentally ill.

If he is a person with normal intelligence, then his behavior is logical, so he infers that the other party is so brave now.

On the one hand, he might be under some internal pressure that he was not aware of. On the other hand, the other party might have guessed his real purpose.

So now it seems that Mr. Strauss's judgment was correct. I still remember the handsome old man who patted his chest and assured me at that time.

"Kyle Raymond is definitely not a psychopath. Even from my point of view, he can be considered a smart man."

"This guy has an extraordinary acumen in politics and many other aspects, and he can often judge it through just one or two sentences."

"The other party's true intention and whether he is lying or not, this is why this guy can move freely in major casinos in Europe."

Recalling this sentence, Carl became more determined and continued to perform according to this logic.

"Gentlemen, please allow me a few more minutes to give you a brief history lesson."

As he spoke, he took out his prickly pear wood wand and waved it gently, performing the projection magic that Mr. Strauss had demonstrated at the closed-door meeting of the Saints Organization.

He copied it here exactly as it was, and a curtain of light appeared above everyone's heads.

Important cities such as London, New York and Berlin appear on the screen, passing by in the time called years.

The appearance of these cities has undergone tremendous changes. First, the steam engine invented by Watt led to the construction of countless huge chimneys.

This was followed by the Second Industrial Revolution, when the application of electricity completely changed people's lifestyles.

After Edison invented the electric light, the nights were no longer dark and street lights began to appear on the streets.

Bell's telephone made communication instant and convenient; Marconi's wireless telegraph opened a new era of long-distance communication.

Just when everyone was still getting used to the shining neon lights, the information age arrived.

The development of computer technology has led to a new round of industrial transformation.

In 1946, the world's first electronic digital integrator and computer, ENIAC, was launched at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States.

By the late 20s, with the launch of the Apple II and the IBM PC, ordinary families could also enjoy the convenience brought by information technology.

The code composed of 1 and 0 constructs a virtual territory outside the real space.

The entire documentary is very concise and if it were shown in the Muggle world, it might even win a few awards.

As the director of this film, Carl's responsibilities include narration and presentation, he said with a confused look on his face.

"Do you see it? Gentlemen, do you see it? My fellow countrymen, it is only a short century."

"The Muggle world had completely become two different worlds. In 1899, a revolver was enough to make a cowboy a desperado in the vast American West."

"In 1910, an average person could find a pretty good career if they learned how to send a telegram."

“But if those sharpshooters and radio operators were to travel back to the present, they would probably become homeless people.”

“And I couldn’t believe it at all. This was still their world, except that nearly a century had passed.”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Mr. Raymond's tone was still tough, or even tougher than before.

He simply ignored the group of high-ranking officials hiding behind him like quails, and jumped off the platform alone and walked in front of Carl.

He stood straight like a swordsman about to duel, staring at his opponent sharply.

Even during this process, this old guy secretly changed his position.

To ensure that his majestic back can be photographed by more reporters.

At this moment, his heart was filled with security, more at ease than at any other moment today.

Because he can be 100% sure that the other party really has no intention of doing anything to him.

The other party's goal is to plunge the entire European magical community into an inexplicable tension.

As long as you cooperate with the other party's performance, you can not only make a lot of political capital now, but you may also get unexpected benefits in the future.

So he responded firmly.

"Ma'am, the magic is very exquisite, and even the content is very well produced, but what I want to say is that since the wizarding world has become independent from the Muggle world."

"The two worlds have been coexisting in parallel for nearly a thousand years. During these nearly a thousand years, we have always maintained peace."

"I still say the same thing as at the beginning."

As he spoke, the old man added to the drama by suddenly pulling out his wand and pointing it at Carl.

He said with a righteous look on his face.

"We are living a very good life now. We have no interest in talking to you about the future, let alone discussing your damn organization."

"That so-called bullshit legality."

The action was smooth and had a very good effect the moment he drew out his wand.

Except for the saints guarding the Aurors, all other saints drew their wands and aimed at him on the stage.

Lights of various colors shone at the tip of the wand, like countless shining stars in the night sky.

And he, Kyle Raymond, the French Minister of Magic, was the center surrounded by stars.

He already had a premonition that there would be several photos today that would go down in history, and he would be one of the protagonists among them.

It’s really exciting just thinking about it!!
