Chapter 448: The hidden knowledge archives

That was the crux of the issue , the true reason why fudge and Bagman were here and they knew it. This wasn't the sort of case where they can hand over some sort of small thing and rake in the profits for themselves , Nick was far too smart to accept something like that. He hadn't made some new potion that could be copied with enough effort but a genuine sport which can't be replicated without him willingly giving up it's secrets or years maybe even decades of money draining experimentation. Fudge and Bagman both grimaced when Nick posed this question as it directly poked them where it hurt , the wallet.-The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

"I may be able to get you a first class order of Merlin and an exemption from the laws you are breaking on that island of yours." Fudge said with a frown but Nick was not moved at all. "I want a week of unrestricted access in the archives and ten percent of all profits from the blitzball games in the future for as long as I live on top of that." He said calmly. "What archives?" Fudge asked with a frown as that was the only part he wasn't expecting.-

The biggest problem was not fudge agreeing however but the department trying to play tricks by denying Nick access to the true archives but giving him a small carefully picked selection. They could also choose to try and directly kill him but they would be in for a rude awakening if they did. "Three percent annually is the best we can offer." Bagman said as if he was really struggling to say that. Nick scoffed at the mans shameless act as he knew for sure that the annual profits compared to those from everything would be drastically different and not in a good way.-

Not to mention that the british ministry will likely be taking at least twenty percent of all profit from the sport. As it's creator Nick would be expected to get a tidy sum of profit off everything as well. Bagman was basically trying to filch what by all rights was a very fair amount of profit from Nick. "Four percent of everything and two months unrestricted access to the archives , final offer." Nick said firmly since he had already grown tired of dealing with them.-

Bagman looked unhappy with this price but looked at Fudge since technically he had the final say in this matter. "Fine we , the ministry can accept these terms." Fudge said clearly unhappy with how this entire conversation went. He looked even worse however when he saw Nick take out a sheet of parchment from seemingly thin air that had dense writing on it already. Nick tapped the piece of paper and a few words on it changed before he handed it over. "Feel free to read the contract over to make sure the details are correct before you sign it." he said with a smile.
