Chapter 73 Albus' Worry

Kane used the phrase "the second half of the Wizarding War", which directly stunned Dumbledore into silence.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace and waiting for an unfavorable partner has achieved this, otherwise he would not have so many plans.

So he can't feel the change in the situation?

how is this possible?

The pressure he is under is increasing day by day, and it has increased sharply in the past six months.

The mountain rain is coming, how will he deal with it?

He came to visit the Shafiq family this time, and he didn't mean to win favors.

He knew that something happened to the Shafiq family. At this time, his old face and his combat power can still play a good role. If he made it clear that he stood behind the Shafiq family, then he could deter some people.

To get this favor is for many people to have a way out.

Assuming that the Ministry of Magic and the school trustees use various names to designate him, then the normal operation of the Order of the Phoenix and even Hogwarts may depend on the full support of the Shafik family.

The Shafiq family has the courage to do things and is good at winning.

Dumbledore admired this a little. He stood on the timekeeping tower of Hogwarts, watching the Fir Villa rise from the ground across the Great Lake.

Rock plate reinforcement, defensive magic array, magic building materials, super magic magnetic shield, eternal fog... Behind the seemingly luxurious beauty is impenetrable and formidable.

In comparison, Hogwarts seems big and useless.

There are different opinions on why the Shafiq family spared no expense in building this residence, but today, Kane almost made it clear.

In response to the upcoming second half of the Wizarding Wars.

The Shafiq family carried out their ideas, took the initiative, and did a great job, so what about him?

He felt that he was not good at making money, but he was good at spending it. Not good at being an official, but proficient in power.

He is not greedy for money and power, but there are too many things that he doesn't trust others to do.

He just wanted to work hard to keep the Order of the Phoenix alive.

He hoped that this reliable and brave team of justice could, as always, have a restraining effect on the Death Eaters, making them act with scruples.

He clearly explained the situation of the British wizarding world in the years when Voldemort first rose.

Confidence doesn't come for nothing, and Voldemort wasn't crazy then. Cautiously, and rather tentatively, he made waves with the Death Eaters.

However, the wizards chose to be wise and safe, unwilling or afraid to confront them, and the Death Eaters quickly became powerful.

A balancing force, a reliable ally.

If you don't have money, you need money to operate; if you don't have much power, you need power to operate.

Trembling, like walking on thin ice. Dumbledore was very tired after dealing with all kinds of people these years.

And the Shafik family, like the light of the sun, has added bright brilliance to the obscure atmosphere from the past few years, and like the sun slowly rising on the horizon, the brilliance is getting stronger and stronger, making it impossible to ignore.

To put it bluntly, the Shafiq family is rich and influential. If the Shafiq family stops supplying black hemp to British wizards at a preferential price, the annual income of most ordinary wizards will be cut in half, or even more.

Just for this, who dares to say that the Shafiq family lacks the right to speak?

What's more, Shafik has interests with the Ministry of Magic in France, Germany, the United States, and China, as well as many wizards. He is a guest of honor at the International Federation of Magic. Maybe some people will not give Shafik family face, but how many people will not? Jin Gallon's face?

So the Shafik family has long been a behemoth that people look up to, and only those 'village people' who have their heads half buried in the sand wishful thinking that the Shafik family is just like that.

Dumbledore went to the Magic Congress of America to do business, and when the strange wizard there greeted him, he asked, "Who are you from Catherine Shafik?"

Just this sentence can explain the problem very well.

You may not know who the chief wizard of the Wizengamot is this year,

Who is the chairman of the Magic Council, but you can't help but know the Shafik family of Hei Ma and the British wizarding world.

Catherine's popularity outside the UK is comparable to that of the Queen of England. Most of them just know that the Queen of England is an old woman, but Catherine is like a Hollywood superstar. Many people can tell a lot of statistics.

It is precisely because Magic Eye is already a multinational group and famous overseas that it is so rich.

Many wizards who only focused on the small place in Britain were still dialing their calculations, and then said: "The Shafiq family sells 70% of the annual production of magic tears and black hemp at cost price, and the remaining 30% is mostly Selling it at a cheap price to the wizards of the country, but still being so rich, there must be something wrong with it, either the so-called cost price and the cheap price have something to do with it, or the output is tricky.”

People use magic tears and black hemp as a stepping stone, and after prying open the market, they can make money with other products. There are more than 40 special potions alone! When a brand is established, its series of products will continue to create value. The shit of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce brand is now delicious, and it can be said that it has become so short-sighted that it is almost blind.

It is precisely because he knows that the Shafik family has built themselves into a giant ship, and is developing in the direction of a super dreadnought battleship, that he grasps its position.

Even if Voldemort rises, he will occupy the mountain and become king. With his pattern and power, it is definitely overthinking to rule the world.

But if the Shafiq family plays evil, tsk tsk! Just an action of relocation and evacuation can be like standing guard at a high place in the stock market, and it can kill the British wizards. There are no steps, so I fell to my death.

This is what a wizard from a Muggle family who understands economics helped Dumbledore to understand after analyzing it.

Therefore, he tossed and turned all night, and then faced this sudden incident with a heart of high tolerance.

He even made mental preparations that the real mastermind behind the Shafiq family was actually a dark figure.

The result seems to be much better than expected.

Then Dumbledore couldn't help but started a new round of worrying about gains and losses, fearing that Kane would be pushed and pulled to the evil side.

The action of pulling is understandable, but who does pushing represent?

It represents those who do bad things with good intentions, those who are dissatisfied with their desires and become muddled for a while, those who are extremely upright and do not know how to be kind to others, those who pretend to be righteous and have ulterior motives, and incite ordinary wizards who don't know what to do... and so on.

Those who can be broadly defined as good people are often the ones who hurt people the most.

The thief bites and penetrates three points to the bone. This thief refers to friends in appearance, who are called brothers and sisters on weekdays. There are similar folk proverbs in Britain, but they are not as vivid.

Dumbledore knew this truth well, and he also heard some rumors: the Shafiq family used the skills of British wizards to flatter foreigners and criticize their own people...

After seeing Kane's behavior style, he was not worried that Kane would be irritated by such remarks. Kane obviously has the wisdom and courage to know what's going on behind the scenes.

He began to worry that Kane's dark style would set off a bloodbath, or a frightening mysterious disappearance.

"Oh, one more thing to worry about." Dumbledore sighed secretly.

Of course, sighing is not enough, Kane is obviously negotiating terms with him.

He realized that Kane understood his purpose of inviting him to participate in the time journey, and he didn't mind deepening mutual understanding through this kind of shared event. But since he took the initiative to mention it, Kane took the opportunity to talk about some future plans, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing, so as not to be too abrupt and unable to step down.

He could even think that what Kane is going to do is probably not just strengthening the teaching intensity in the field of combat, there should be other things.

Dumbledore thought quickly and carefully. He knew that some words, once discussed in detail, would have a profound impact.

Although they are walking and chatting now, and the atmosphere of the conversation is very relaxed, but he and Kane are not just chatting, but making a decision, which will involve deep and wide-ranging business. Even being willing to talk about it in detail, or changing the subject to expose it, is a deeply influential statement.

After taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Shafik, what measures do you want to implement at Hogwarts?"
