Chapter 62 Industry

"Let's take a look, let's take a look! The reports in the Daily Prophet and many tabloids these days are all about that man's downfall and the arrest of his minions." Mellen-Watts pushed a thick stack of newspapers on the table.

In front of Tang Bai's eyes.

"...The Dark Lord's downfall..."

"...Savior: Harry Potter..."

"..."

"...Malfoy is so worried..."

Tang Bai picked up the newspapers that Mellen-Watts pushed over, opened them one by one, read the titles, briefly scanned the content, and then switched to another one. Whether it was the "Daily Prophet" or other tabloids, the pages were full of

The articles are filled with all kinds of eye-catching titles, and the content is very close to making people cry with joy.

Just like a person who has been suppressed for a long time, imprisoned for a long time, oppressed and without freedom, suddenly gets what he has longed for, like a gushing volcano, erupting happily and heartily.

"Malfoy?" Tang Bai held a copy of the "Daily Prophet" with a recent issue date in his hand, with a hint of interest on his face. Lucius Malfoy, with an arrogant look on his face, was reading the newspaper full of anger.

He was accusing something. He glanced at it and selected a few paragraphs to read quickly.

"...The Ministry of Magic will launch an investigation into Lucius Malfoy in the near future. If there is evidence to prove that Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater, then Lucius Malfoy will undoubtedly face a check-in

The Prison of Azkaban..."

"... Mr. Lucius Malfoy denied that he was a Death Eater and protested against the Ministry of Magic for randomly assigning Aurors to violently enter Malfoy Manor to search without the owner's permission..."

Seeing the newspaper in Tang Bai's hand, the smile on Mellen Watts' face instantly became brighter. He nodded and took it with a tone of gloating.

Tang Bai's words: "Hahaha, old Malfoy is in trouble this time."

"Oh?" Tang Bai raised his head from the newspaper and turned his gaze to Mellen Watts, who was smiling across from him.

"Lucius has been active recently. Not only him, but many pure-blood families are frantically spending large sums of gold Galleons and mobilizing their own connections to do their best to clear their names." Mellen

-Watts chuckled, leaned over and pulled over a newspaper with Lucius Malfoy's face on it. His thick index finger poked Lucius Malfoy's face on the newspaper one after another, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"You will never be willing to surrender." Tang Bai put down the newspaper in his hand, slightly curled his fingertips, and tapped the table under the newspaper, making a loud sound.

"Yes! But even if Lucius is safe this time, I'm afraid he will be severely shaved off by the officials of the Ministry of Magic. I heard that there are many pure-blood families that are relatively prosperous like the Malfoy family.

, have recently had to sell some properties to survive this crisis." Mellen-Watts curled his lips: "If you really want to determine whether Lucius and the others are Death Eaters, the method is too simple. These

The report is just the Ministry of Magic’s attempt to put pressure on the other side.”

At the end, Mellen-Watts said with a hint of admiration or jealousy in his tone, "After all, the status of those pure-blood families in the wizarding world is too deep-rooted. Want to bring so many people together?"

Catch all the descendants of the pure-blood family and convict them all. There are too many things involved."

"Let's put aside the matter of the savior and those pure-blood families for the time being. Looking at the joy on your face, you should have done everything I asked you to do, right?" Tang Bai waved his hand and moved the people around him with him.

The newspapers and magazines were moved to one side, and he sat upright on the chair. He put one hand on the table and tapped it unconsciously.

"Of course! Hahaha, Don, I spent all the Galleons you left for me!" The joy on Mellen-Watts's face became even stronger, and his tone of voice rose unconsciously, as if he was doing something.

A subordinate who has become a major event is as eager to take credit for his boss.

"That's great! I need to know some details! Especially how much property I have now." Tang Bai smiled. The nearly 10 million gold galleons he left to Mellen Watts were actually used.

Not a drop of the Mellen-Watts flower is left. This shows that Mellen-Watts' harvest should be quite abundant.

"Haha, I can't wait to explain it to you." Mellen-Watts nodded with a smile, turned around and shouted: "Doria!"

Crack!

The house elf Doria suddenly appeared on the chair beside Mellen Watts.

Mellen-Watts ordered: "Take out the contract documents in my room and be careful!"

"Yes, Master!" Doria's sharp voice rang out, and she bowed deeply to Mellen Watts, disappearing suddenly from Tang Bai's eyes just as when she came.

When Doria appeared again, she was holding a stack of thick kraft paper documents in her hands. The documents were so tall that they even covered Doria's small body. Doria staggered on the table with a somewhat unsteady step.

In two steps, he smashed the large stack of contract documents that were enchanted and filled with magical energy on the table.

"Well, this is a first-tier store that manufactures broomsticks. It has a good technical accumulation and background. It's worth 2.11 million gold galleons!" Mellen-Watts picked up the top stack of documents and glanced at it.

Then he pushed it to Tang Bai's hand, and while introducing it, he picked up another contract document and handed it over without interruption.

"...This is a quasi-first-line female wizard clothing store in France. It has the most popular and fashionable clothing styles. Many female wizards like the female wizard clothing produced in that country. It was acquired by Nott and is worth one hundred and eighty dollars.

One hundred and ninety thousand gold galleons..."

"...This is a joke shop in England. It is not large in scale. Without your explanation, Nott and I would not have been able to buy such a magic shop. This kind of shop can only please some young wizards.

, is worthless in my eyes. The price is 30,000 gold galleons..."

"...This is a contract for Nott's properties. After you sign it, their property rights will automatically be transferred to your name. Similarly, the shares of your properties will also belong to Nott according to the proportion written above -

All Byron..."

"Also, several second- and third-rate tabloids and magazines such as "Criticism", "Wizard's Point", "Witch Housewife", etc., took over all these newspapers and manpower, and spent 271,300 gold.

Galleons." After saying this, Mellen-Watts smacked his lips and said with some regret: "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when those pure-blood families were desperately selling off their properties to acquire more shares in the Daily Prophet.

Yes, but after spending 2.57 million gold galleons, it only acquired 31% of the ownership of the Daily Prophet. No more would be lost. During that turbulent period, the sales of the Daily Prophet

The amount is still enough to keep it running.”

"Where's The Quibbler?"
