HP Bella's Lie

06- March into the Muggle world

Bella didn't want Riddle's unfortunate childhood to leave a psychological shadow on him, which might lead to his distorted personality as an adult.So she has been expressing to him with practical actions: he is the same existence as her, and she will not underestimate him because of his age-in fact, she does not need to do it deliberately, the long-term power of a certain person is still invisible works.

And this kind of concept is the result of Bella's study,,,... these Muggle books.

It has to be said that Muggles are very good at educating children.

Under Bella's deliberate guidance, Riddle and her relationship became more and more equal and independent. Even Riddle went through the admission procedures of the Muggle primary school alone - of course, this has a lot to do with the talent and character of the Dark Lord. big relationship.

This freed up Bella's hands to expand the Muggle career she had been planning for so long.

In the 30s, the British economy was in a great depression, workers were unemployed, factories went bankrupt, and the situation in Muggle London was really miserable. It is no wonder that the Dark Lord who grew up in this era despised them so much.

However, the Muggle economy was very prosperous before Bella's death. If you start investing now, you can get a lot of wealth before the rise of the devil.

And Bella's method of primitive capital accumulation is very simple.

Death Eaters - more precisely, the best Death Eaters - what is Bellatrix best at?

The answer is to kill.

Of course, she is good at many things, but the skill of killing is absolutely perfect, and the only thing comparable to it is probably torturing captives.So Bella didn't make any detours, and went straight to her job as a freelance killer.

At first, she just used magic to send her contact information to various merchants and politicians. Most of them were ignored as jokes, but a very small part actually contacted her.

She picked the most difficult task in the eyes of Muggles and rejected the others.Then he put on a black veil to cover his face, and carried a pistol. Apparated to the center of the heavily guarded area, he rushed out from a dark corner, and before everyone could react, he shot the target three times in a row.

Under the earth-shattering pursuit that ensued, he retreated in an orderly manner—of course, with the help of some magic—and escaped smoothly.

This beautiful assassination is known as "the debut of the black lady".

Since then, Bella has gained fame in the killer world.The people who threw away her letter rushed to the wastebasket to retrieve the invitation letter marked "blacklady"-jokingly, the letter clearly stated that no invitation letter would double the fee.

Ill-gotten gains always come quickly.After doing a few in a row, Bella has accumulated a lot of wealth and started to raise prices on the ground.On the one hand, it increases work efficiency, and on the other hand, it also reduces the workload for herself—even if she only does the tasks she chooses, it will be time-consuming to pick out the tasks she is satisfied with from the letters falling like snowflakes, isn't it?

With capital, Bella felt it was time to venture into real estate and banking.

This ambition is not insignificant. As a wizard who knows nothing about finance, all Bella knows is that these two industries are very stable and profitable. Combining her impressions before her death, she comprehensively analyzed that this industry has produced big chaebols and rich people. .But she doesn't have the ability to control the wind and rain in the financial industry. Even if she can learn it slowly, she is not willing to spend this time.

So Bella resorted to the signature killer of the evil dark wizard-the Imperius Curse.

And this unlucky Muggle is a professional manager in his 40s named Edgar Hasbrouck.For this troublesome name, Bella expressed that she had no patience to remember it, so she simply abbreviated it as eh.

Edgar, who just learned that he was dismissed by the board of directors of Midland Bank for ten years, expressed a stomachache——

It was not Edgar who was cast with the Imperius Curse, but his board of directors.

Bella just cast him a Muggle Repelling Curse to make sure no company would accept him.

"eh, I want you to manage these capitals for me." Bella is very optimistic about the professional managers she has just forcibly poached from the largest bank in the UK, "Mainly invest in real estate and banking. Depending on your performance, the capital will increase .I will accept the preliminary results in three months."

"This... madam..."

"Eh, you have to know that I'm not a philanthropist, I took you in because I appreciate your talent." Bella interrupted him, "If you can't produce results that satisfy me, then forgive me for turning my back on you. To tell you the truth, I also found a way to get your frozen account in Midland. If the result is good, we are all happy, aren’t we?”

Eh secretly wiped off his sweat, and Bella's combination of power and force made him dare not have the slightest disagreement: "Madam, you misunderstood. What I mean is that these assets are not enough to set foot in the banking world now."

"Huh?" The layman was a little surprised.

Afraid that she would become angry, Eh hurriedly added: "So my suggestion is to invest in real estate with a relatively low threshold first, and wait until the assets have gradually accumulated to a certain level before we enter the banking industry, how about it?"

"However, my time is precious..."

"It's okay, it's okay. We don't need to start a bank from scratch. We wait until the capital accumulation is sufficient to buy shares in existing banks—such as Midland, which I worked for before. I'm not boasting. The management system and business division of Midland Bank are very efficient. In the next 50 years, they will become one of the world's first-class banks. Then they will expand their business, acquire new banks, and split their shares through financing..."

"……speak English!"

"...I mean, you can quickly own a big bank through capital operations."

Bella nodded reluctantly: "Okay, let's invest in real estate first. I will have the preliminary inspection results in three months."

The hard-pressed eh didn't dare to refuse any more, and sent the big Buddha away.

As the saying goes, a hen that puts all her eggs in one basket is not a good wizard. (ah?)

In the same way, Bella harmed several real estate and banking elites, and found a lot of baskets for her own eggs, which almost caused a major earthquake in the British financial industry this year-but this is not what Bella cares about.

Here, the Muggle career has settled down. On the other hand, Riddle also entered the Muggle primary school and started his student career.

Riddle had finished reading the first-grade curriculum long before the start of school, and complained to Bella: "If the first-grade textbooks only have this level, I think I can skip the grade directly."

"You have to forgive Muggles for their stupidity, my dear, you must know that even among wizards, you are one of the best." Bella had obviously mastered the scientific method to appease the little devil.

Riddle was very receptive to her comfort, so he snorted and stopped mentioning it.

Seeing this, Bella couldn't help pulling him in for a kiss, and Riddleton became a little annoyed: "You're kidding me!"

"You can play it back." Bella was confident.

Riddle raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Is this what you said?"

"Uh..." Before Bella could react, Riddle had already pounced on her and bit her lips...

Bella's brain was stunned, and it took a while to realize that the way of gnawing was kissing.She couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't know whether to push him away or guide him - where had she seen such a pure and innocent Dark Lord!

Then it occurred to her that this seemed...maybe...probably...should...be the Dark Lord's first kiss?

Oh Merlin, life is always full of surprises!

By the time Bella recovered from the sweet collision, Riddle had already let her go, his expression slightly broken——

This taste seems to be different from the one in the book?

The theoretical demon king felt that things were not developing scientifically.

Seeing Riddle's tangled expression, Bella couldn't help laughing out loud, and immediately received a stare from the Childhood Demon Ace.

"Honey, your level...well, as a first attempt, it's still remarkable." Bella said tactfully.

Riddle had already sorted out his emotions, and seriously declared: "I will prove my strength to you."

Bella smiled, but seeing his serious expression, her heart moved, and she sighed softly: "You don't have to force yourself, dear. Although I am your future wife, I am not now. You don't have to let yourself be so He has long assumed the responsibilities of a husband—including making out with his wife."

Riddle looked at her, and there was no gap in his dark eyes: "I didn't force myself, Bella. Maybe I don't understand love yet, but I already regard you as a relative, that's for sure. From now on, Even if I have a father, mother, or other relatives who come out from nowhere, no one can take your place."

— This is almost a confession.

The blood in Bella's body froze for a moment, and then surged violently——

She has his approval!

For the first time, she clearly knew her position in his heart.It is no longer the loyalty and suspicion, the conflict of interests and intrigues that have been for many years.It was just a casual confession from the young Demon King to her in an ordinary afternoon.

The true meaning that she had been thinking about day and night - what he gave was better than what she thought.

——Even if it has nothing to do with love.

Bella hugged him emotionally, her eyes were foggy.

"Me too! My dear, no one, no one can replace you."
