One after another, figures appeared from the phantom, 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 them with a bad temper 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 preparing 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 who were struck by fear swallowed hard.
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 didn't speak first, waiting for John.
"My father once told me that business matters should not be too rigid."
A low and hoarse voice echoed in 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 opening made people confused. They seemed not to have expected that such a strong person would give in.
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 was at his best 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 the 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 act as agents for 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 subject.
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 all see who John's eyes fell on.
The grumpy wizard who had been looking proud just now froze. When he realized what he was doing, he found that the atmosphere around him had become strange.
John leaned back in his chair and said calmly: "You can start."
"You can't, right? He's just a foreigner!"
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 the share."
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 the share of the twelve sections, which includes drinks, magic potions, and equipment."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wizard on the right screamed: "Thirty percent? We killed a person for you, and it's only 30%?!"
Dissatisfaction was written on his face. John glanced at him and tapped 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.
"Fuck!"
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?"
"Sh-"
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 that, 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 his soul back one by one.
"You know, Johnny Silverhand never treats his friends badly."
After everything was done, John opened their prison.
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 unwillingly.
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 body 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 locked inside.
From that day on, New York’s 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 they still 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, 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 meeting her once was enough to brag about her for a long time.
This also forced the Ministry of Magic to turn its attention away. The original focus on Nagini turned to the other districts 12.
This is also the reason why John kept them. By removing these people as a stumbling block, it can also divert the attention of the Ministry of Magic.
Nagini also found out about these things a week later and wrote to thank John.
When this letter arrived, it happened to come together with Furong'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 that Uncle Andre accidentally angered 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 big boss behind the scenes 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 found Watson, hoping that he could 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 yuan 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 the advertising of Johnny Silverhand.
Yes, don’t think that there are no advertisements in the magical world.
This Quidditch World Cup is a good advertising opportunity.
To this end, John used his privileges 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 International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department, he can use this opportunity to re-enhance his prestige, provided that it is done properly.
The capital injection into Johnny Silverhand's store came at just the right time, and at the same time, John also offered to sell small items at preferential prices.
The matter of advertising is left to Mundungus. Although this person likes to play tricks, this kind of person is 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?"
When he heard 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 a lot of things going on behind the scenes."
"Yes, I believe many people are willing to make a fortune in 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."
