Chapter 1076 Rita's Transformation

It was two days later that the news of Wayne Enterprises establishing a media company appeared in the Daily Prophet.

In the past two days, Wayne Media first rented back the sealed Prophet Newspaper headquarters, and then renovated and decorated the entire building.

Although former editor-in-chief Gu Fei was somewhat reluctant, he still took down the newspaper sign personally.

Rita was also not idle. She took John and Bozo to Italy to shoot three documentaries introducing the development of the Muggle automobile industry.

In the film, she was wearing a bright yellow Muggle host costume, but her glasses were still the same jewel-encrusted ones.

Her first stop was the Bugatti factory, where engineers showed her the complete production process of a Bugatti Veyron from scratch.

The huge workload made the wizards realize for the first time the terrifying wisdom of Muggles. The engine, which is composed of countless precision parts, does not rely on magic, but on scientific principles such as the number of cylinders, turbocharging, transmission, ignition system and aerodynamic design.

Rita's test drive experience was rarely positive, with speeds exceeding 400km/h and intoxicating roars.

"It's a treat, it's a pleasure, and it's a feeling that the Knight Bus will never give you."

At the end of the first documentary, there is an interview with the boss of Bugatti.

Vincent frowned when he saw Eric in a suit. No wonder his father was so concerned about the documentary that he even guaranteed that there would be no problem with the filming at the army base.

As soon as the film finished, Vincent was surrounded by students.

"Wayne, is this your car?"

"Muggle's mechanical design is so beautiful, it's simply a perfect work of art!"

While Vincent was being pestered by the students, his friend noticed a key point that seemed to have been overlooked.

That was his relationship with Rita.

George stated righteously that the relationship between the two was definitely not ordinary, and even if Rita had slandered him in the past, she was not as unscrupulous as she was in slandering others.

Fred even got a pile of old newspapers from somewhere, and there was physical evidence to prove that Rita's words in every article she wrote about Vincent were not exaggerated, and were even relatively rigorous.

The twins smiled wickedly at Vincent who was surrounded by students, "He must have caught something."

"Eh?" Cedric tilted his head. "What handle? Vincent is not that kind of person."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head in a somewhat unconfident manner.

Rita Skeeter was once notorious for deliberately exaggerating to attract attention and making up stories without any moral or bottom line.

And now, she was actually introducing the Muggle automobile industry in a serious manner.

No, not now.

About three years ago, the articles she wrote tended to speak with facts.

The most notable example of this is her article exposing the "Half Girl" bar in Knockturn Alley.

She called the group of wizards who kept captured Muggles as pets and cruelly abused them witches scum. Through her plain and simple words, readers felt the dark side of the dark side of the wizarding world for the first time, and also understood for the first time the sense of justice hidden in her heart.

After Peter Pettigrew was arrested, she was the first to give readers the whole story.

If it was the once notorious reporter, she would definitely ignore the facts and exaggerate the content of the article to make it more bizarre.

So, what was the opportunity that made her transform into the news queen?

Obviously, it was because of Vincent who was smiling awkwardly in front of the guys.

"Dude, how on earth did you tame such a fierce horse?"

Wild horse… George’s metaphor made Vincent’s mouth twitch violently. “Nothing. Maybe I awakened her conscience.”

"Conscience?" Daphne pouted. "I don't think Rita Skeeter has a conscience."

Vincent spread his hands and said, "Well, I actually have something on her."

The twins high-fived and cheered, "We guessed right!"

As for what the evidence was, Vincent refused to tell them no matter how they asked.

It's not that he doesn't trust the guys, but he attaches great importance to personal privacy.

The documentary produced by Wayne Media received a very good response. Although there were many opposing voices, wizards gradually began to take the industrial development of Muggles seriously.

Many things in the wizarding world, such as the Hogwarts Express and the Knight Bus, were created by combining magic and technology long before Wayne Enterprises appeared.

In the seventh episode of the documentary, Rita arrives at a Muggle army base.

Because of the confidentiality agreement, she did not reveal the location and name at all. The wizards only knew that the base was not in the country.

Eric, who was briefly interviewed at the end of the first issue, appears again, this time wearing a special operations uniform.

Vincent couldn't bear to watch the whole thing. Although the documentary was produced by Wayne Media, his father was too fond of showing off.

He couldn't keep a low profile anymore, as he was surrounded by students again before the film was over.

"Wayne, what does your family do? Cars and a Muggle Army base. Is your dad a general or something?"

"I remember now! Your father seems to be the largest arms dealer in Europe? I didn't expect that he also has connections with the Muggle army."

Vincent laughed dryly, "Well, my family hasn't sold weapons for a long time."

"I understand! What's the word? Cleanse? Yes! Cleanse and get ashore!"

As the documentary airs, it has become more significant than Vincent originally envisioned.

After learning the history of the development of grenades, wizards began to question the Ministry of Magic's poor excuses.

While questioning, many wizards are wondering why Muggles are developing so rapidly and why the wizarding world is stagnant.

Scholars who study Muggles have come forward to point out the reason: the wizarding world has been too closed in recent hundreds of years.

This astonishing argument was attacked collectively by pure-blood supremacists before it was widely discussed.

Seeing that the two sides were arguing every day, Vincent didn't need to think too much to understand that it was the Ministry of Magic that was guiding public opinion.

Although it failed to disgust them further, the fact that a debate could emerge about why the wizarding world was stagnant actually symbolized that wizards were finally beginning to realize their own backwardness.

Magic is very convenient and magical, but its current development has never broken away from the framework of the Middle Ages.

Wayne Enterprises has grown so fast because every product it brings out is out of the box.

At the end of April,

Neither side of the debate could convince the other, and the debate gradually calmed down.

The drawing of the new version of the Marauder's Map is finally nearing completion with the help of the mermaid leader Mercury, and all that's left is for Sirius and Lupin to find a replacement magic.
