Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

#531 - Chapter 531 From now on, there is only the Wizard Bank

The news from Swan Media quickly swept through the entire wizarding world. All wizards were glued to their magical televisions, anxiously watching the live reports.

The images showed Gringotts reduced to ruins, the traces of battle shocking to the eye. Many people stared at the screen in fear, terrified that their life savings had been looted in the flames of war.

When they saw Voldemort and the Death Eaters fleeing in panic, their tense nerves finally relaxed slightly. However, this was followed by endless anxiety and unease.

Could Gringotts continue to operate? Was their money safe?

Many people felt the urge to immediately go to Gringotts and withdraw their assets, but Voldemort could return at any moment, making them hesitate. With the situation on the ground unstable, rash actions could put them in danger.

Just as the wizarding society was plunged into confusion, Swan Media's cameras focused on Amelia Bones.

She stood in front of the ruins of Gringotts, looking serious, with busy Aurors behind her. Facing the camera, she issued a calm and firm announcement to all wizards:

"After this intense battle, the structural integrity of Gringotts has been severely damaged. To ensure your safety, the Ministry of Magic has decided to temporarily close deposit and withdrawal services."

"Rest assured, all wizards, that the Ministry of Magic has fully taken over Gringotts and begun a comprehensive inventory and repair operation. All assets are under strict supervision and will not be lost."

"A full Level One security alert has been implemented around Gringotts. Anyone who appears here rashly will be arrested by the Aurors. To avoid misunderstandings, please wait patiently for the Ministry of Magic's notification. The Ministry of Magic is striving to resolve all issues within two days."

These few words brought some reassurance to the originally panicked wizards. Although the temporary closure of Gringotts was worrying, the Ministry of Magic's intervention at least meant that their assets were safe, and the worst-case scenario had not occurred.

As the live broadcast ended, Percy led a large team of accountants into Gringotts, quickly throwing themselves into the arduous task of auditing the accounts.

Fortunately, to prepare for this day, Swan Alchemy had already developed a complete set of efficient accounting tools – Calculating Quills, Automatic Sorting Ledgers, and so on.

With the help of these alchemical devices, the complex accounts were successfully tallied at a very efficient speed.

Only an hour later, Percy, with red eyes and an excited expression, found Amelia and Sebastian.

"The goblins' wealth is far beyond our imagination!" He took a deep breath, his voice filled with shock. "Even with a rough count, we've discovered that Gringotts' funds are enough to pay the salaries of all Ministry of Magic employees for hundreds of years!"

"With these funds, the Ministry of Magic won't have to worry about Galleons for a long time."

Hearing Percy's report, Amelia was overjoyed, while Sebastian raised an eyebrow and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Well, as the saying goes, a man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grazing. With this wave, the British wizarding world will directly advance into the next era ahead of schedule.

With these funds, the Ministry of Magic would be completely free from financial constraints and could massively improve the wizarding world's infrastructure, promoting the modernization of the entire wizarding society.

"However, we don't have time to count the wizards' own vaults for the time being," Percy frowned. "Also, according to our deductions, the accounts on-site are incomplete. Some core accounts are simply nowhere to be found. We tried to ask the surviving goblins, but they either prevaricated or simply remained silent, refusing to cooperate."

"Extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times," Sebastian said calmly. "Veritaserum, memory charms, even the Imperius Curse. Use whatever you need to. Don't be pedantic. Everything is for the future of the wizards."

"As for the vaults, your Department of Finance doesn't need to worry about them for now. I'll leave it to the Aurors."

Percy nodded emphatically and was about to go and have a friendly chat with a few goblins.

"Percy," Sebastian called out to him again. "The buildings in New Town are ready. From now on, the Gringotts controlled by goblins will be a thing of the past. All we'll have is our own Wizarding Bank."

"In addition, the new monetary system must be promoted as soon as possible. When the time is right, immediately open the exchange channel and gradually replace Galleons with our own currency, completely removing the goblins' control over the wizarding world's economy. Let them understand that from now on, the dominance of money no longer belongs to goblins but to wizards, and then they can work for wizards with peace of mind."

"Percy, you have a heavy burden. You must be mentally prepared for what's to come."

"Understood!" Percy said with excitement, full of energy as he went to chat with the goblins.

After dismissing Percy, Sebastian called Delores over: "Clear a safe passage as soon as possible, and then find a few goblins to inventory the layout of the Gringotts vaults and their respective owners. Speed is of the essence. Strive to move everything inside Gringotts to New Town within a day."

"Also, the assets in the vaults are the private property of the wizards. To prevent anyone from being dishonest and embarrassing the Ministry of Magic, you need to pay more attention to that."

"Don't worry!" Delores thumped her chest loudly. "Before coming here, everyone signed a magical contract, guaranteeing not to touch a single Knut belonging to the masses."

............

While the British Ministry of Magic was enthusiastically moving Gringotts, Sebastian and Grindelwald's plan was also progressing smoothly.

The content of the plan was simple: to launch the Third Goblin War against goblins on a global scale.

Gringotts wasn't just in Britain. To completely allow wizards around the world to control their own economic lifeline, they had to wipe out all Gringotts in one fell swoop, eradicate all financial systems controlled by goblins, and allow wizards in various countries to completely get rid of their economic dependence on goblins.

The time was ripe!

Gringotts around the world almost simultaneously welcomed a group of Death Eaters wearing black robes, hoods, and masks. They shouted fanatical slogans, rushed into those Gringotts, and began to wantonly take the lives of goblins.

"Brothers! Since joining the Dark Lord's command, we have not been able to make a contribution! Today is the moment to make a name for ourselves!"

"The Master is angry. Kill all these goblins!"

"Dare to lose the Master's things. You goblins pay with your lives!"

Wands waved, and green Killing Curses crisscrossed between the vaults. The goblins' screams echoed under the dome.

The black-robed wizards were ruthless, and the spells in their hands never stopped for a moment. Their goal was not wealth, but blood and reckoning. Goblins fell one after another, no longer able to protect the vaults they once prided themselves on.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the magical circles around the world received the same shocking news – almost all Gringotts had been occupied by Death Eaters!

The world was in an uproar!

No one had thought that the Mysterious Man and his Death Eaters would launch such a large-scale war.
