Chapter 134 Old acquaintance

I thought that my reminder would make Carl feel a little less nervous.

But I didn't expect that this guy would not listen at all when it comes to money.

Carl had an expression on his face that said, "What does it have to do with me?" and he looked at Professor Snape deliberately.

"My dear professor, what on earth do you mean by that? This matter has nothing to do with me at all."

"This is a dispute between the British Ministry of Magic and a certain bank. I only hold less than 5% of the shares of that bank."

"I can only be considered a small shareholder at best. Besides, I am not the legal representative. No one should be blamed for anything."

"According to the dividend ratio, my income in the past three months is less than 10 gold galleons. I am already a victim of investment failure."

"It's a bit unreasonable that you can find me for this."

Although these words were spoken with such righteousness, Professor Snape's eyes twitched wildly. He had done his homework before coming here.

Of course he knew that in the Muggle world, the legal representative of a company was usually a scapegoat with a golden rice bowl.

The only purpose of supporting such guys is to throw them out to take the blame when something goes wrong in the company.

As for the 5% stake that Carl mentioned, he simply didn't believe in any simple financial tricks like cross-holdings.

This is enough to allow this guy to still control the bank even though his shareholding is extremely low.

At the same time, it can also facilitate reasonable tax avoidance for the British magical community after the financial bills are improved in the future.

To put it bluntly, these are just some tricks. There is no problem in fooling those financial idiots in the British Ministry of Magic.

But in front of him now, these words were a bit too much and there was absolutely no sincerity at all.

"If you don't want to understand the situation honestly, I can pretend that I haven't been here tonight if nothing happens."

"Then I'll leave first. I'll keep the words I talked to you about before in my heart. You don't have to worry."

Professor Snape, feeling unhappy, said something and prepared to leave.

Karl quickly pulled the other person back and said with an apologetic smile.

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it. Don't be so anxious, my dear professor. You all know that I'm used to performing."

"Why are you still so angry? We are already good partners who know each other very well. You need to be patient."

"Why do you get so upset when something I say doesn't go your way? No wonder you lost in that emotional struggle."

"What a bad temper."

Carl's voice was very low when he spoke the last few words, but Professor Snape had a bat-like hearing.

Hearing these words keenly, he immediately looked at Karl with eyes wide open in anger.

"What did you say? You are such a disrespectful guy to the professor. I will definitely teach you a lesson today."

After saying that, he suddenly took out his magic wand and cast a spell at Carl.

"Incarcerous, imprison quickly!"

Seeing that this guy was unable to win the argument and was launching a sneak attack, Carl was so surprised that he quickly did a backflip and jumped backwards.

After dodging the spell and pulling away, I was about to speak and explain.

Professor Snape did not give him any chance to explain and cast another spell on him.

"Sectumsempra!"

"Fuck, you're serious."

Seeing that the opponent was ready to kill him, Carl didn't dare to be careless anymore. He directly put on a wandless casting armor to protect his body, and then performed traditional North American martial arts.

He drew his gun and fired in an American style. In a few tenths of a second, he took out his wand and shot at Professor Snape.

"Incarcerous, imprison him immediately!"

Professor Snape, who had no time to react, was hit by the curse, forced back into his seat, and locked there.

"How is it possible that you have this level of magic power?"

Professor Snape, who was trapped in a chair, felt the power of the spell that imprisoned him, and immediately looked at Carl with a look of surprise.

Carl smiled very proudly, and when the spell was over, he deliberately sat down slowly in his seat.

He looked at the other person's surprised expression with a chuckle, shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

"There's no need to be so surprised. I just told you a few days ago that I would fix all the loopholes in my plan."

"Of course, this includes the fact that my magic power level is not enough."

"The improvement is indeed a bit fast, but there is no need to be so surprised."

These words made Professor Snape feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He did know the little bastard in front of him before.

Compared to ordinary little wizards, he is much stronger, but it has only been less than two weeks.

Compared to the last time they met, Carl's current magic level has surpassed that of most of the graduating seventh graders.

He is even much stronger than the average Auror. A powerful 15-year-old wizard, not even Voldemort back then, could achieve this level.

He saw that the level of magic power that he had worked hard for half his life to improve was easily achieved by the other party in just two weeks.

While lamenting that the other party was a monster, this strong-hearted man felt discouraged for the first time.

Carl sensed this keenly, and quickly put away his joking expression and said in a comforting tone.

"There's no need to be discouraged. I just took some shortcuts. After all, I have nothing but power now."

“Compared to the knowledge accumulated in your mind, that is truly powerful.”

Professor Snape laughed self-deprecatingly when he heard this, then stared at the other person with squinted eyes and spoke word by word.

"I said you are not a human being."

"I TM..." Karl really wanted to curse now. He was trying to comfort the other person with good intentions.

As a result, this bastard not only did not thank me, but also scolded me instead. He was really like a black bat biting Lu Dongbin, not appreciating a good person's kindness.

However, despite all the complaints, Carl still removed the curse from Professor Snape, and said with a serious face.

"Well, we've had our intimate conversation and done some appropriate physical activity, so we should stop talking nonsense."

"I did have a plan for this matter. After all, don't we have a rat in the castle that we can use?"

"Although the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is the property of the school, the magical animals living in it are, in a sense, under the jurisdiction of those idiots in the Ministry of Magic."

"That's perfect. Let them do something practical and investigate the attack on the unicorn."

Upon hearing this, Professor Snape, who had just resumed his freedom, immediately smelled a scent of conspiracy.

He thought about it briefly, and then spoke seriously.

"A murder at Hogwarts would have a huge impact on the school's reputation. I don't want this to happen."

"What? What are you talking about?" Carl said in an extremely serious tone with a look of disbelief.

"How can we predict the future? Will there be a murder? Will it have anything to do with us? We know nothing."

"Isn't that what bad people do? I'm just a student and I don't know anything."

Having said that, Karl deliberately paused for a moment and asked again slowly.

"Oh, by the way, what is the name of the Auror who came with the inspection team? I want to know."

Hearing this, Professor Snape could only twitch his cheeks and speak helplessly.

"Tom Hewes, Wayne Jonathan."

When he heard these two names, Karl's smile suddenly became even brighter.

"So you are old friends. They were the ones who personally escorted me to the train. So it seems that I don't have to worry about disability."

"It's not unfair to use them as fertilizer for the trees in the Forbidden Forest."
