Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

"What are you talking about? Sir? Remember to address me as Sir. We are in your place now."

When Lucius heard the other party change his address from ordinary Mr. to "My Lord", an unconcealable smile immediately appeared on his face.

But even though he was very happy in his heart, he still gave severe criticism.

Mr. Zachary Ward no longer looked serious as before and quickly agreed.

"That's natural. I just let it flow from my heart. I lost control of myself. Please forgive me."

"Let's take a look at the documents. The content is actually very simple. It's just some confirmation documents."

"After all, so much gold, silver and precious jewels were mobilized from the market and the British treasury at one time."

"It's definitely unacceptable without any formalities. Please sign here and stamp it with the appropriate seal."

"Then we will use an unexpected method to check inside the underground warehouse."

"In an unexpected way." Lucius couldn't help but feel a little curious, but due to his noble upbringing, he didn't ask any further questions.

Instead, he took the document handed over by the other party and began to look at it carefully. After reading it, he asked calmly.

"I won't read the contents of these documents one by one. I just want to know if I signed these documents."

"Will it cause me trouble in the future and cause trouble to my "interests"?!"

He emphasized the word "interest" particularly. Mr. Zachary Ward certainly understood what he meant and spoke seriously.

"Of course not. You are bold enough to sign your name, although the name is also called Lucius Malfoy."

"But he is essentially a fictitious German, a famous classical economist, who now serves as the financial director of MAT."

"I think Mr. Hohenzollern should have given you the corresponding identity authentication."

"This is just a formality. To put it bluntly, these signatures are required. As for your interest."

"I'm thinking more about you as you are now, and you will never be confused with that fictional German."

"Then I guess there won't be any problem." After hearing the other party's explanation, Lucius finally felt relieved, and he happily signed his name on all the documents.

And he stamped the important parts with wax seals that Carl had left for him.

After all this was done, Mr. Zachary Ward went over every detail carefully.

After confirming that they were correct, the documents were taken away and locked in the bank's safe.

Then he returned to the fireplace where he was making tea, pulled down the fireplace cover with his hand, and stretched out his hand and spoke.

"Okay, let's go check the situation in the warehouse, but we still need your help for this part of the journey."

"To be honest, I'm still a little excited."

Lucius was confused by these words. He walked gracefully to the other side with his cane and looked at the clean and spotless fireplace.

He asked with a frown.

"What does this mean? Are we going to go through the secret tunnel at the back like in some of your movies?"

"Slide directly to the underground warehouse?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hand and his crutch, with an eager expression on his face.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Zachary Ward quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"Of course not sir, I think you misunderstood, although this building is probably one of the most sci-fi places in all of London."

"But of course we have arranged this kind of passage, and if there really is a physical tunnel that can lead directly to the underground vault."

"That's a huge security loophole. When I said I needed your help, I meant it literally."

"I need you to use magic?"

"Magic!!" Lucius' voice immediately became much higher. He looked at the other party in disbelief and said with a serious expression.

"Do you know what you are talking about? Using magic in front of someone like you is a serious crime according to our laws."

"Why do I feel like you want to hurt me?"

"How could that be?" Mr. Zachary Ward gave a strange smile and took out a can of strange powder from a drawer beside him.

He handed it to the other person and said with a smile.

"In the exchange just now, I have no intention of hiding any details of the crimes and illegal operations."

"I told you everything truthfully. The reason I was so frank was that I agreed very much with what Mr. Hohenzollern said."

"Instead of being suspicious of each other and wasting time, why not just be honest and bring everyone down with you, sir?"

"If you don't reveal something to me, how can I be sure that you and I are in the same boat?"

"Please don't be stingy, okay? Let me experience this extraordinary journey as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Lucius instinctively wanted to refuse, but he couldn't think of any reason to refuse. What he said did make sense.

After a short silence, he took the Floo powder from the other person and looked at the spotless fireplace again.

Said shaking his head.

"I didn't expect you were prepared. How did you connect this to the Floo Network without the Ministry of Magic knowing?"

"That's not something I should know." Mr. Zachary Ward smiled and finally pressed a button on the side while explaining.

"This button is activated. The room will enter the self-cleaning reservation mode. After we leave, the sweeping robots hidden in various places will thoroughly clean the entire room."

"So please don't be afraid of leaving traces. Oh, and our destination is Commonwealth Savings Bank AEWS0047."

“Don’t ever say the wrong thing.”

"You guys are so thoughtful." Seeing that all the details had been taken care of, Lucius really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

He could only grab a handful of "Floo Powder" and shout loudly.

"Commonwealth Savings Bank AEWS0047!!"

There were no fancy spells. Just a strange green flame rising from the fireplace, and the two people disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The silver powder that spilled on the ground immediately activated the sweeping robot hidden in the dark. The only sound that could be heard in the luxurious VIP room was the sound of the motor turning.

On the other side, after a not-so-pleasant journey, Lucius Malfoy fell face down heavily on the hard floor.

His carefully groomed hair was scattered all over the floor and he looked disheveled, just as he stood up and was about to get angry.

The scene before him shocked him so much that he couldn't utter a word. After holding it in for a long time, he only managed to utter one sentence.

"Merlin's pants, how much are they worth?!"
