Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Because of Clark's words, the atmosphere in the principal's office suddenly became solemn.

Theodore Abbott and Darren Bock frowned tightly, as if they were caught in a difficult decision.

At this time Clark also lowered his tone and began to persuade them.

"Several uncles, the construction of the dragon farm project is now more than halfway through, and all the original investment has been turned into building materials. At this time, you want to withdraw, which is reasonable and unreasonable."

Theodore Abbott looked at him in embarrassment.

"Clark, we also know what you said, but we are not just representing ourselves, because of this incident at Hogwarts, some opponents in the family have objections, and we must be responsible for the family.

You are also the head of the clan, so you should be able to understand. "

He sang about white faces, while Darren Bock on the other side sang about red faces.

"Why talk so much? We have already asked Principal Dumbledore just now, and even he can't solve this matter. I don't know when this project will be delayed?"

When Dumbledore heard his name being called, he could only explain.

"The monster raised by Slytherin has a part of Hogwarts authority attached to it, which should be the part that belonged to Salazar Slytherin when the school was founded.

Even as the headmaster, I am only on the same level as it in terms of authority, and I cannot know its specific situation and find it out from the secret room. "

It turned out that when Hogwarts was founded, in order to show fairness, the four founders equally shared the authority of the magic circle attached to the magic castle itself.

But as Slytherin and the other three parted ways, the part of his authority also disappeared.

It now appears that when Slytherin left Hogwarts, he did not take away this part of the magical authority, nor did he pass it on to his descendants, but left it in the secret room.

It is precisely because of this that Dumbledore has been unable to do anything about the monster in the secret room.

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Darren Bock became even more determined to withdraw from the dragon farm project. Even Dumbledore, the greatest wizard in today's wizarding world, couldn't do anything about it. This project was probably going to fail.

Clark persuaded them a few more words, but the lower his posture, the stronger the other party's desire to withdraw their capital.

Especially when they know that there is not much money left in the project account,

I don't even want to wait for a moment.

If you don't leave now while you still have a little money left, you won't be able to leave until you run out of money.

After all, the dragon farm has already been built, how can they divide it up and tear it down? Fire dragon dismembered?

"I don't care, anyway, you have to return the funds of our Boke family first!"

Facing Darren Bock, who is not in the oil and salt, Clark has no patience.

"It's clearly written in the contract. If your family wants to withdraw, it will be a breach of contract and you need to pay half of the capital as liquidated damages. You can think about it."

The words that came out of Clark's mouth were as cold as the extreme north wind, but the more they were like this, the more determined Darren Burke was to leave.

After all, they have already reached the point of threat, which shows that Clark is at the end of his skills, and besides, half of it is less than half, at least part of the money can be returned.

It's like buying a large off-plan house. Facing the delivery date in the distant future, it seems to be a good choice to recover part of the cost, which is better than throwing everything in vain.

"We will pay liquidated damages." Darren Bock said firmly, "Not only me, but also the Ollivander family and the McMillan family that I represent."

His words obviously affected the other two people, and Theodore Aibo also looked at him with a embarrassed face.

"Hey, Clark, you also know..."

"Uncle Theodore, I understand you, but a contract is a contract. If the Aibo family wants to withdraw, the same will be done."

Theodore Aibo sighed helplessly, "Thank you, you can pay back the half of our family's money later, and the Shaker family is the same, I will communicate with them."

Darren Bock showed a smug smile on his face, he was happy for Clark's current embarrassment.

There are already five companies that are planning to quit now, and even if the liquidated damages are deducted for each of them, they still need to return 2,500 Galleons.

This is not a small expense, not to mention that their original investment has been converted into material materials. Facing the run-on withdrawal of funds from the school directors, Clark can't take it out at all for a while, and can only use their Prewett family's money to fill the hole.

And once the money cannot be returned, then they can come again to share the food like vultures.

Clark obviously understood this too, but he didn't show it on his face. On the contrary, he still looked at the last school manager calmly.

"And you, Mr. Yaxley?"

Elijah Yaxley sat quietly on the chair, neither Darren Burke's pride and greed, nor Theodore Abbott's shame and guilt.

He just sat there, carefully studying Clark's expression.

Clark knew that this one was the real old fox.

Sure enough, Elijah Yaxley said suddenly: "Mr. Prewett, you are really calm. You don't look like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child at all. If my kid has half your ability in the future, I will be content."

Clark sighed, "Mr. Yaxley, if you have any decision, just say no, why are you mocking me here? Don't tell me I'm acting pitiful and crying, you guys Will it not be withdrawn?"

"Of course not," Elijah Yaxley said decisively. "In business, it's nothing to talk about."

He looked at Clark's face, and suddenly said, "But, I'm not a businessman. Compared with money investment, I actually prefer investors. You have great potential, Clark."

"So what's your decision?" Clark's tone was neither sad nor happy.

On the other hand, Theodore Aibo and Darren Bock noticed that something was wrong, which was different from the same strategy of advancing and retreating as they said before.

"My decision?" Elijah Yaxley paused before saying, "The Yaxley family has also withdrawn from the Hogwarts Dragon Farm project."

Both Theodore Abbott and Darren Bock breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not only that, but the Selwyn family is the same."

This sentence made Darren Bock even happier. Seven, seven families withdrew from the dragon farm project, which is 3500 gold Galleons.

No matter how rich the Prewett family is, they will not be able to come up with this amount for a while. You must know that the prize money for the Triwizard Tournament two years later is only 1,000 Galleons.

"Although the Aibo family's money does not need to be repaid now, our family's money cannot be delayed..."

Before Darren Bock finished speaking, Elijah Yaxley suddenly continued what he had just said: "However, I will take over the shares of the Yaxley family. This is counted as my personal investment in you."

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. One thousand Galleons, even Elijah Yaxley, as an official of the Ministry of Magic, is not a small amount. It was really a loss, but even if it was a hemorrhage up.

"Thank you." Clark nodded slightly, accepting the other party's kindness.

Then he looked at Darren Bock, who was sitting not far away, and stretched out his right hand, "Pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other hand. When I get the magic contracts of your families, I will naturally return the money to you. "

Darren Burke curled his lips in disdain, glanced at Elijah again, and then directly took out a magic contract that he signed before from his arms.

Obviously, he carried these things with him, and he was planning to attack Clark from the beginning.

"Don't say I'm bullying you. In this way, I'll give you more time to prepare the money. When you bring the money, we'll be settled."

As he said that, he put the magic contract in Clark's arms. There was magic in this thing, so he was naturally not worried that Clark would take the contract and not pay him.

But before he could turn around and leave, Clark stopped him.

"No, I'll return the money to you now."

As he spoke, he took out a magic pocket from his robe and threw it to Darren Burke.

"There are exactly 500 gold coins in this pocket, no more, no less, do you want to count them?" Clark's voice could not hear any emotion.

Darren Bock caught the purse in a hurry, and looked at him with a surprised look. You know, who would carry five hundred gold Galleons with him if he had nothing to do, and it was just right.

Did this kid already know about our plan?

Darren Bock was a little flustered, but at the moment, he had no choice but to let go. He had completely torn face with the Prewett family.

Besides, the school board itself is not of the same mind, and it is normal for someone to reveal the news, so he quickly sneered and said, "That's tough enough, I see how much money does your Prewett family have?"

After speaking, the signature on the magic contract belonging to the Burke family changed from Darren Burke to Clark's name in an instant.

"Then don't bother you."

Clark looked at the changed shares of the dragon farm, and his heart was full of joy, but he didn't show it on his face, and forced himself to speak hard.

He even wished that these old foxes could see his strong outside but capable inside, and trade with him sooner.

Darren Bock snorted coldly, and was about to leave with the bag of money, but Clark stopped him again, "Wait a minute, take the money away, and leave the pocket, that pocket is worth five Galleons."

Clark naturally didn't lack this little money, but he didn't mind disgusting Darren Bock either.

Darren Bock was so angry that he couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Clark with vicious eyes, took out five gold coins from his pocket and threw them at him.

"for you!"

A few golden coins flew towards Clark with a whoosh, fast and fast, but he just lifted them up, and those Galleons were stopped by an invisible force and floated in front of him, "It's easy to go, don't give it away!" .”

After watching Darren Bock's furious back, Clark looked at the other two representatives of the school board.

Theodore Aibo felt ashamed to see him, didn't say much, and left in a panic when he apologized.

Only Elijah Yaxley took the initiative to shake Clark's hand when he left, and spoke to him in a very small voice.

"I remember that there is a supplementary agreement in the contract. If someone quits, other families can spend money to buy his part of the equity. If your money is not enough, I am still very interested in exercising this right."

When all three of them left the principal's office, Clark had the energy to look at Dumbledore.

The old man looked haggard, and it was obvious that the incident in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts had worried him.

"Thank you, Clark." Dumbledore forced a smile on his sad face, "Thank you for supporting the school."

"It's me who should say sorry, Principal." Clark said sorry, "About the magazine..."

Before he finished speaking, Dumbledore interrupted him, "I understand this matter, you are all doing the right thing, on the contrary, our consideration is indeed a bit thoughtless."

As he spoke, he sighed again, "I'm getting old, maybe I should really consider retiring."

Clark didn't answer his words, Dumbledore waved his hand, indicating that he could leave, "Go, go, go back to the lounge early, don't wander around."

Clark nodded and left the room, leaving only Dumbledore sighing in the headmaster's office, struggling for the future of Hogwarts.

During the whole day that followed, nothing happened because of the care of the professors.

At night, after the people in the dormitory stopped discussing the Chamber of Secrets and finally fell asleep, Clark and Harry got up from the bed, redressed, and put on Harry's invisibility cloak.

The three of them huddled under the light invisibility cloak and walked carefully through the gloomy corridor.

The journey along the way did not have the same pleasant feeling as in previous night tours. There were quite a lot of excitement and fright. Clark had wandered around the castle many times in the middle of the night in order to complete the specialty tasks last semester, but he had never seen such a thing after the sun went down. many people.

Teachers, prefects, and ghosts patrolled the corridor repeatedly in pairs, looking around for abnormalities.

Although Harry's invisibility cloak uses the power of the shadow dimension to block sight and some magical detection, it cannot completely transfer them to another dimension, and naturally it cannot prevent collisions.

In one particularly dangerous moment, Ron stumbled while walking, with Snape standing guard a few paces away from them.

Fortunately, Clark had quick eyesight and quick hands to support him, which prevented him from falling in front of Snape.

However, the oak gate of the castle was closed at this time, and the three of Clark did not dare to go there. After all, no one knew whether the heavy gate would make a sound.

Fortunately, Clark had other ways. They came to the corridor on the second floor. Clark used the powerful stretching properties of his magic rope to put Harry and Ron down first, and then grabbed the rope and slowly lowered to the ground. superior.

In this way, when they finally left the castle and saw Hagrid's hut in the distance, they were relieved.
