Chapter 159
One after another, figures appeared from the apparition, and they seemed not to have thought that they were not the only ones invited by the goblin boss.
The wizards who appeared looked at each other in confusion, and some of the bad-tempered ones had already yelled: "Damn it, Poppy, what are you doing!"
Bobby is the name of the goblin boss. Normally, he would have scolded him back in a bad temper, but now Bobby is pretending to be dead.
"Sit down."
A voice that could not be refused sounded, and a total of thirteen wizards arrived.
They were in charge of various underground transactions in the New York wizarding world. After hearing the sound, the bad-tempered wizard who spoke first yelled: "Who are you? Why should I listen to you!"
Some people looked disdainful, as if they were ready to laugh at the other person's jokes.
However……
"I said... sit down!"
A coercion burst out from John, like a predator looking at its prey, and a creeping fear was dug out of his heart.
John raised his head slightly and said calmly: "If you don't need a chair, I will put a flower on your grave."
The moment they saw the silver mask, the wizards swallowed hard as they were struck by fear.
Of course they recognize this mask, because they are the boss of the shop that owns the mask.
They sat silently on the chairs at the long table, there were thirteen in total, but they all refused to sit on the chairs at the other end of the long table because that would mean facing the silver mask.
For this reason, they almost started fighting.
Finally, the bad-tempered wizard was placed in the thirteenth position.
He looked embarrassed and huffed and puffed with a dark face.
They waited for John without speaking first.
"My father once told me that you shouldn't get too stuck in business."
A low and hoarse voice filled everyone's ears. John rubbed the ring and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps my store has offended everyone's interests. For this, I am here to apologize."
This start made people confused. They seemed not to have expected that such a strong person would relent.
That was the man who drove the Shafiq family out of the UK. How could he be as docile as a sheep?
The bad-tempered wizard did it again, and he taunted: "It's good that you know, I'm not unreasonable. As long as you hand over half of the goods in the store, I will give you a decent treatment."
As he spoke, he felt very majestic at the moment, raised his head and looked at John with his nostrils.
John laughed, and his low laughter suddenly made people feel uneasy.
He raised his head and looked at the desperate wizard opposite, "I do intend to let some people represent my goods, and the goods will be sold at one fifth lower than the market price."
This proposal made everyone's eyes light up. You must know that the goods in Johnny Silverhand's store are so popular that even if the price is half the market price, the supply exceeds demand. Buy low and sell high, which is a very considerable profit.
Just when the wizards felt that Lord Johnny Silverhand was a reasonable man, John changed the topic.
He looked up at the violent wizard, bared his fangs and said, "I will not destroy the division of the Thirteenth District of New York, so I need an area to open a store. Can you show me your sincerity?"
Even through a mask, they could see who John's eyes were falling on.
The grumpy wizard who had been looking proud just now froze, and when he reacted, he found that the atmosphere around him had become weird.
John leaned back in the chair and said calmly: "You can start."
"You won't, right? He's just a gringo!"
The grumpy wizard shouted loudly, as if this would make him feel more secure. He said to the people who had a good relationship with him: "We will deal with him, and the goods will still be ours."
The wizard seemed to suddenly realize that when the grumpy wizard smiled, the red light of the wand had already hit him.
The grumpy wizard's smile froze, and other wizards took action one after another. Under the inundation of more than a dozen wands, the grumpy wizard fell to the ground and gradually lost his breath.
"Now, we can talk about shares."
John smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and the thirteenth chair turned into a flower and fell on the grumpy wizard.
Putting the cross on his chin, John said: "Johnny Silverhand will also take out 30% of the goods as a share of the twelve sections, which includes drinks, potions, and equipment."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wizard on the right screamed: "Thirty percent? We killed a person for you, and only 30%?!"
Dissatisfaction was written on his face, and John glanced at him, tapping the ring with his finger.
A wave of magic power centered on John spread out, and shackles stretched out from the chair under the wizard's buttocks, locking everyone up.
"Farke!"
The wizard cursed loudly, and John slowly stood up and whispered to the other wizards whose expressions changed greatly: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to prove to you that I am not discussing with you because I am afraid."
Walking up to the dissatisfied wizard, the wizard couldn't help but change his expression and screamed: "What are you going to do?"
"Shh-"
The wand gently placed on the wizard's shoulder, signaling him to be quiet, and John whispered like a devil: "The soul is back."
White smoke came out of the wizard's body. Seeing this scene, the goblin boss Bobby's legs couldn't help but collapse. This was how he was treated just now.
As everyone watched in horror, the wizard's soul was pulled out of his body.
The wizard was not as arrogant as before, he was full of fear.
"Tell me, why are you resisting me?" The eyes under the silver mask turned into vertical pupils, and unspeakable fear trembled in the soul.
Longwei adds panic, and the effect is outstanding.
"Sir Johnny Silverhand, I, I don't mean to offend—"
the wizard screamed, his voice harsh.
The other wizards were also frightened by this scene. They yelled crazily, begging John to let him go.
John's eyes were as deep as a bottomless hole.
"But I don't believe you anymore. You have never stopped releasing your malice since you entered the bar, and your greed is like the sea water that wants to swallow me up."
As he said this, the other wizards were horrified to find that white smoke was also coming out of their bodies.
They struggled wildly, to no avail.
"Sorry, I don't have much time to bother with you."
Pulling out twelve souls at once, a trace of tiredness flashed in John's eyes.
Everyone was marked, and he put their souls back one by one.
"You know, Johnny Silverhand never treats his friends badly."
After everything was done, John opened their confinement.
At that moment, twelve wands were pointed at John at the same time.
However, John just raised his eyes slightly and spoke clearly: "Put it down."
The wizards who were about to cast spells found that their hands had been put down in disobedience.
They looked frightened and confused, and they didn't understand why.
John walked towards the door and said without looking back: "The 30% share will be divided into 12 parts for you. I will not treat my friends badly, nor will I be soft on my enemies."
Passing by the corpse of the violent wizard, John snapped his fingers with his left hand, and the wizard's body ignited in flames until it turned into ashes.
"Bobby, clean him up."
The goblin boss Bobby hurriedly came over with a broom and swept away the ashes.
When the door of the Blind Pig Bar is closed, all the abuse or anger towards Bobby is trapped inside.
From that day on, the New York underground wizards tacitly cleared out all the former violent wizards.
The next day, they indeed received 30% of the goods from the Johnny Silver Hand store.
They thought that 30% would be very small, but underestimated this number.
A 30% share is completely enough to bring huge benefits.
This made them very annoyed. If they had known there were so many, they wouldn't have had to have such a trouble with Johnny Silverhand.
It's better now, and they regret it.
Nagini suddenly became a popular presence in the New York wizarding world. Many people wanted to have a relationship with her, and even just meeting her once was enough to brag about it for a long time.
This also forced the Ministry of Magic to look away. The original focus on Nagini turned to the other districts 12.
This was also the reason why John kept them. By removing these people as a stumbling block, he could also divert the attention of the Ministry of Magic.
Nagini also found out about these things a week later and wrote to John to thank her.
When this letter arrived, it happened to come together with Fleur's letter.
…
Chapter 181 Fleur’s invitation and Peter’s escape from prison
"Quidditch World Cup?"
Looking at the letter sent by Fleur, John remembered that he still had the tickets sent by Barty Crouch.
"Andre!"
There was a loud noise downstairs, it must be Uncle Andre accidentally irritating Mrs. Wick.
After returning from a trip to the United States, John found that Mrs. Wick had gotten a recipe from nowhere, saying it was written by a super chef, and he began to improve his cooking skills.
Uncle Andre tries to help, but he screws up every time.
Dad Watson Wick's matter is almost settled, but now there are rumors about the Wick family, the behind-the-scenes gangsters in London. What is that?
I don’t know how to solve it, but now Watson is about to become the new underground king of London.
For this reason, Watson had a lot of headaches.
Every time this happened, Uncle Seryosha would give him a glass of vodka and forget all his worries.
There is a major reshuffle of forces in London, and every big boss wants to put his head in his crotch when he goes out.
A gypsy tramp boss comes to Watson, hoping that he can help his son.
His son was the one who killed Finn Wallace, and Sean Wallace was looking for them like crazy.
And from the evidence given by the Rangers boss, there is someone else behind the scenes.
The person behind the scenes only spent 20,000 to kill the famous boss.
Life is so fragile.
Watson and Sean called and talked about investors.
But in the end, Hua was so angry that he almost smashed his phone, but the four Jovonovich brothers looked calm.
None of this has anything to do with John. He knows that his uncles can handle it. Now he is paying more attention to Johnny Silverhand's advertising.
Yes, don’t think there are no ads in the Wizarding World.
This Quidditch World Cup is a good advertising opportunity.
To this end, John used his privilege to get an advertising space from Barty Crouch.
The situation in the local Ministry of Magic is a bit complicated now. The position of Minister of Magic is vacant, so this time the Quidditch World Cup falls on Barty Crouch.
As the Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation, he can take this opportunity to re-grow his prestige, provided it is done properly.
The investment in Johnny Silverhand's store came at just the right time, and John also offered to sell small items at favorable prices.
The matter of advertising was left to Mundungus. Although this man liked to play tricks, this was the only way to deal with Ministry of Magic officials.
Tang Mi was called to the office by John and gave him another task.
"Handicap?"
Hearing that John was going to open a gambling bureau, Tang Mi was a little surprised and said, "Although it's not done openly, there are quite a few behind the scenes."
"Yes, I believe many people are willing to make a fortune from the lively Quidditch game."
John smiled and chuckled: "Of course, provided we know the result."
"Sir, what do you mean?" Tang Mi subconsciously looked at the crystal ball on the table. John nodded and said mysteriously: "Control the odds, this will be a lot of money."
