The Charles Becomes a Wizard

Charles thought about it and decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Smart and ambitious..." Ciel asked knowingly, "Mr. Grindelwald, don't you think this description sounds very familiar?"

"Are you trying to provoke me, Ciel?" Gellert's cold eyes fell on Ciel.

"No, how could that be?" Charles looked back straight at me, his elbows resting on the table, his fingers forming a tower against his lips. "I just want you to see the reality as soon as possible."

It’s better to see Dumbledore’s “true opinion” of you as early as possible so that you won’t cause trouble for their subsequent plans.

"It's really ugly to see you dwelling on the past."

The boy's merciless words were like a sharp sword, easily piercing Gellert's already broken heart.

Gellert's aura suddenly increased, and he completely discarded his "approachable" disguise, finally showing some of the demeanor of a former wizard king. He glanced casually at Voldemort, who still hadn't calmed down, and said, "I don't think you are naive enough to think that I would change my persistence for so many years just for such a small matter, right?"

Yes, putting aside other things, Gellert didn't think that there was a big problem with Dumbledore attacking students in school. If it wasn't him who made Dumbledore wary of Voldemort, Gellert would even appreciate Dumbledore's behavior.

This is a very far-sighted and convenient approach. Threatening people or things should be nipped in the bud before they cause greater impact.

Furthermore, if Voldemort himself had not resisted the temptation, so many things would not have happened later. Dumbledore did intervene, but it was Voldemort himself who made the decision to create the Horcrux.

As a ruthless and ruthless man who has stirred up trouble in the remote wizarding world, Gellert has his own lofty ideals.

In order to achieve his ideal, he did not care much about the lives of several wizards. In his view, they were just necessary sacrifices on the road to success.

Many wizards died at Gellert's hands back then, including some powerful and talented people. In Gellert's eyes, Voldemort was no different from those people.

Gellert even felt that his brain was not very sharp.

Gellert's obvious contemptuous attitude made Voldemort annoyed and angry. Just as he raised his wand again, a large hand wrapped in a white glove pressed his shoulder, and turned around to see Sebastian with a gentle smile on his face.

"The young master and Mr. Grindelwald have important matters to discuss, Mr. Voldemort, could you please not disturb them for the time being?"

Voldemort: ...

Overly tragic memories flooded into his mind, and Voldemort quietly put down his wand under Lucius's doubtful gaze.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Having achieved his goal, the butler was polite. After bowing slightly, he quietly returned to a position about one step away from the boy. As long as Charles turned around, he could easily see him.

It seemed that since a certain day, this mysterious butler could always be seen beside Ciel. Xiaolong also said that this person seemed to be an Animagus. Even when he was at Hogwarts, he was always there for Ciel to call.

Lucius thought in a trance.

It follows closely, just like a dragon guarding a treasure.

Voldemort calmed down, and the conversation between Ciel and Gellert was not affected at all.

"How come?" Charles raised his eyebrows slightly: "I told you before that I want to discuss a cooperation with you."

"Although this matter should be raised in a more serious context, I think you won't mind this little detail."

"Oh?" Gellert leaned back slightly in his chair, crossed his fingers on his folded legs, and pretended to listen: "Cooperation?"

Gellert knew that Ciel was attracted by the influence of his men in the wizarding world, but he didn't think Ciel could offer a satisfactory price.

He is just a young Muggle wizard who has just entered the wizarding world. Even if he is indeed meticulous and capable, and even if there are demons following him, so what?

Can you expect a child like this to be able to accomplish what he couldn't accomplish back then?

Do not make jokes!

Moreover, although Gellert didn't know what the contract between Ciel and Sebastian was, it was hard to say whether signing a contract with such a dangerous thing was a blessing or a curse...

Although he had already decided in his heart that he would not agree to Ciel's so-called "cooperation", Gellert was still willing to listen to what Ciel wanted to say.

Even though he still looked down on Muggles in his heart, Gellert had to admit that Muggles always had some special ideas, and occasionally some novel and interesting viewpoints would appear that could make people's eyes light up.

"As you know, the Phantomhive family and the Malfoy family have carried out a series of cooperation before." Ciel took a document from Sebastian and placed it on the table, then stretched out his right index and middle fingers to push the document in front of Gellert.

"I wonder what you think about this matter?"

Gellert had no opinion.

It's just a trick used by those ancient families to make money...

Gellert casually picked up a document on the table and began to look through it. As he was looking, he sat up straight.

"Is the information above true?"

"Of course, there is no need for me to deceive you." Charles said with a smile: "Do you think this cooperation is feasible?"

Let me see, between a huge, continuous income and a relationship that has deteriorated over the years, what would you choose?

Thinking of the shocking profits in the documents, Gellert slowly exhaled.

"You're showing me the information right now. Aren't you afraid that I'll reveal this to others? Besides, there are so many Muggles in this world. I don't have to cooperate with you."

"What does it matter even if it's leaked?" Ciel tilted his head. "Although it will be a bit troublesome, we have the initiative. Those who seize the initiative earlier will be eligible to gain more benefits."

"As for cooperation, I don't think you can find a more suitable partner than the Phantomhive family." The handsome boy was proud and confident.

"The Grindelwald family has enough assets for me to squander." So how can you be sure that I will be willing to cooperate with you for gold galleons?

"No one would think that gold galleons are too much." Ciel raised his eyebrows. "Besides, if you want to gain more living space and more resources for wizards, you can't do it without sufficient financial support."

"With enough gold Galleons, you can build the wizarding world into what you want. I think you have fully experienced the creativity of Muggles these days, right?"

"Wizards are conservative and old-fashioned. Although it may be a bit rude, I have to admit that I often can't help but wonder if their brains have become rigid. You should also know that this is definitely not going to work."

"Since the wizarding world is already stagnant, it would be better to introduce some new things as soon as possible. More new things will inevitably lead to the birth of new ideas, and new ideas will definitely impact the originally constructed order."

"It should be easy for you to start another uprising by then." The boy said in a clear voice full of temptation. "As you once said, everything is for the greatest good."

Gellert closed his eyes. He knew that his heart was moved.
