Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

When Mr. Zachary Ward said this, there was no respect in his tone, as if he was mocking a monkey dressed in ostentatious clothes.

Actually, it’s not his fault. It’s just that Lucius Malfoy’s outfit today was really special.

For some unknown reason, this pure-blood wizard noble was wearing the highest level of going-out dress.

The black trench coat is decorated with silver lace and pink edges, with the Malfoy family crest on the chest and a collar inlaid with a huge emerald.

Holding the cane he usually carried, he looked like a noble young man walking out of a 15th century oil painting.

No wonder he attracted so many people to watch and take pictures when he stood in the intelligent hall.

However, in Carl's impression, Lucius at that time probably only thought that he was extremely charming.

He would never think that there was anything wrong with his taste in clothing, so he gave Mr. Zachary Ward a very strange instruction.

"You don't need to ask me what he looks like. When he arrives, you will be able to recognize him in the crowd at a glance."

Now it seems that this statement is absolutely correct. Mr. Zachary Ward looked at the young man sitting opposite him.

Said with disdain.

"I could sense the disdain in that gentleman's expression and words when he was communicating with me."

"That kind of disdain is not just the disdain of the superiors for ordinary people, but a complete lack of respect."

"It's hard for me to come up with the right words to describe it. If I have to say it, maybe in his eyes, I am not even considered a human being."

"Are all you wizards like this?"

Karl smiled. Facing this sensitive question, he did not rush to answer, but asked a question in return.

"Don't worry, sir. Compared to the question you asked, I am more curious about the fact that you are not surprised at all by our existence."

"When ordinary people hear that there is a hidden society outside the society they are familiar with, their first reaction is often fear."

“Comparisons are then automatically made, and fear turns to disdain if someone lives worse than you do.”

"If someone lives a better life than you, fear is disguised as anger, and you appear very calm, as if you don't care at all."

Mr. Zachary Ward also smiled, seemingly not surprised by the question. He opened his hands and spoke calmly.

"It's very simple actually, because I'm a mature man, I was born in a remote town in the north of England."

"Due to the country's economic distribution, many British people have never heard of my town. Every time they help me introduce my hometown."

"A lot of them thought I was talking about a particular brand of dog food, so when they went through college, marriage, and divorce."

"I was living on the streets and accidentally got a job at HSBC. After spending nearly 10 years there, I barely got a glimpse of the life of the upper class."

"Any sudden change would hardly have any impact on my emotions, compared to the young people who are confused and at a loss right now."

"Then isn't the real life of the rich another society hidden outside of the real society?"

"That's really a wise remark." Carl nodded in approval. "Regarding your previous question, my answer is, unfortunately, yes."

"Whether in Britain, the European continent, or the United States across the ocean, the wizarding community treats you... ordinary people very kindly."

Carl originally wanted to say the word "Muggle", but then he thought that the meaning of this word was not very good, so he changed it to ordinary people and continued.

"Most of them have some discrimination against you. Wizards think that they are a group of people who are specially favored because they have magic."

"And you are just a bunch of ordinary people."

"Racial discrimination?" Mr. Zachary Ward was stunned for a few seconds, then burst out laughing.

"It's a bit of a peculiar thing to hear this term in this day and age, but it's not surprising at all."

"After all, we British people often say that if something is done successfully, anyone can do it, except the French and the Nig."

This time it was Karl's turn to be confused. He didn't expect the other party to say that word openly without any hesitation.

You have to know that as the birthplace of white leftism, even the Europe on this timeline is not as crazy as it was before I traveled through time.

Due to political correctness and other reasons, white men have become an oppressed group, yet they speak racist words so openly.

It is still very rare, so he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"I didn't expect you to say that word. I thought you were a traditional elite, but I didn't expect..."

Carl paused for a moment, but Mr. Zachary Ward immediately continued.

"No one expected me to be so direct. After all, the political elites, or elites like me, are usually not so direct."

"Most people avoid these sensitive topics. I remember once when I was at a community college and I was talking about my success story."

"At the end of the event, their headmistress came on stage to speak. I just happened to look at my watch, and the next day I was criticized by the Financial Times."

"I am no longer in the mood to explain myself to people who accuse me of being misogynistic, and these are just some tricks."

"Trick?" Carl became more interested in the manager and asked with interest.

"Don't you think racial equality is a good thing? Or do you not believe it will happen?"

"If equality can really be achieved, that would certainly be a good thing," Mr. Zachary Ward said directly.

"I'm afraid that the hype of these topics is just to divert the attention of the grassroots people and divert their attention from real social problems to some fake topics."

"I can boldly predict, sir, that in another 10 or 20 years, topics like environmental protection, gender, homosexuality, and race will be discussed."

"It will fill the whole of Britain and Europe. By then, the traditional culture of the whole of Europe will be directly destroyed without waiting for new opponents to grow."

"Europe will dig its own grave and then jump into it without hesitation. In comparison, I agree with your approach more."

“Although your operation seems to be full of greed and evil, it is precisely the solution that can truly change the existing problems.”

"Instead of wasting time arguing, it is better to seek real growth. At least high-speed growth can cover up these problems."

"Oh, by the way, why are you here at this time?"
