Unlike the scheming and infighting among the older men, Sirius Black and Shafiq worked together quite well.

Making money or not doesn't matter; what matters is seeing the men lose everything.

The blame lies with them for creating a pretext to openly "steal money" through charitable foundations, and for spending real money to complete the proof of where the donations went rather than admitting their mistakes.

We must film it, we must film it well. One series is not enough, we must film several more.

In early February, the Nobili brand held another press conference.

The long-awaited the Merlin Legend series has been officially formed, with the lead role of Merlin played by Blaise Zabini Zabini, a fourth-year student at Hogwarts.

Few people have heard of the name Blaise Zabini, but the surname Zabini is very famous.

With seven marriages and six widowhoods, Lucretia Zabini perfectly embodies the saying "marriage is a tomb."

Each of her husbands "accidentally" left her a large inheritance, making her practically the originator of "widowed-style financial management".

Her current husband is said to have contracted some strange illness, has retired from the French Ministry of Magic, and is currently residing in Britain.

The launch event for the Nobili brand also brought a second piece of good news: they decided to invest in a second series.

Wizarding Glory: Centered around ancient and powerful Pure-blood Wizard families, the story follows how family members, through their magical talents and wisdom, strive to maintain their family's honor and status amidst the ever-changing Wizarding World.

After Lucius delivered this "exciting" news, the shills who had been arranged in advance at the venue burst into applause and cheers.

Perhaps, to the gentlemen, this kind of story that unveils the mystery of Pure-blood Wizard would be quite interesting.

Vincent, in the Owl Court Club Room, watched the news with a smile on his face.

Regardless of whether the content is good or bad, as long as the amount of Britain content increases and it becomes profitable, foreign brands will definitely follow suit.

News, talk shows, science popularization, variety shows and other programs will also spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Exclusive broadcast? Which company can maintain that kind of boldness indefinitely?

Even if it were available, would I have to buy a completely different brand of equipment just to watch TV shows?

It's not like those video streaming apps from the past where you could cancel your membership if you didn't like it. In the end, they'll have to loosen the restrictions anyway. The wizards will teach these brands how to do it.

Therefore, the Magical Communicator that allows viewers to watch shows anytime, anywhere will be the biggest winner.

Vincent stopped smiling and looked at Hermione, who was looking at him with a face full of question marks. "What's there to worry about? Actually, we should be happy."

"Ah?"

He briefly talked about the future of magical home appliances, especially devices with projection capabilities.

Hermione nodded in realization. "I thought they'd develop Muggle- like TV station, but then again, the wizarding population is too small. They can't earn much Gold Galleons from advertising alone. It's better to do what you said and offer pay-per-view."

After saying that, she widened her eyes and said, "Following this line of thinking, your Magical Communicator won't have to do anything; you can just lie there and receive massive amounts of content from all over the world."

Vincent suppressed a laugh. "Now you understand why we're happy, right?"

Hermione smiled and said, "I understand. The Wizarding World is actually like Gotham City. What's here isn't some magical government or the International Confederation of Wizards, but your Wayne Enterprises."

The idea is wonderful, but it's too difficult to implement.

Vincent neither confirmed nor denied it, saying, "I have to postpone the release of the Magical Communicator until those brands start making a splash."

Hermione nodded meaningfully, then took out a sketchbook from her makeup box, which was enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm. "I have a new idea. Your dream car should be a bit more flamboyant."

Vincent, "I like anything you design."

She casually drew a straight line diagonally on the drawing paper with a pencil, saying, "Please note that we are in a public place."

"Oh." Vincent rested his chin on his hand, quietly watching her draw sharp angles.

The Bugatti Veyron's exterior design is already perfect. Hermione's initial drawing of a straight line runs through the entire car, from the front to the rear wing.

The iconic horseshoe-shaped front grille has not been abandoned, but its rounded lines on both sides have been straightened, and the curvature of the headlights has also been straightened, making the front face look more intimidating.

While maintaining smooth body lines, the windows and doors are enhanced with sharp, powerful angles, which, combined with exaggerated wheel arches, bring a futuristic element to the whole vehicle.

The unique design of the continuous taillights that span from left to right, along with the six exhaust pipes arranged in a row below, showcases unparalleled technological sophistication and sportiness.

Despite the lack of interior details, the new design exudes an aura of danger, and the use of Mithril, a rare material in the Wizarding World, along with the deep, pure black color scheme, gives the vehicle a mysterious and noble feel.

Hermione put down her paintbrush, feeling both excited and a little nervous. "How is it? Do you like it?"

"It's very beautiful." Vincent moved his gaze from the drawing to her face. "But you're not as beautiful as me. I still prefer you."

She gave him a playful glare, "I'm serious."

Vincent looked down at the drawing paper, then leaned closer to her pretty face, which was pretending to be angry. "I'm serious, you really are prettier."

Hermione turned her face away shyly, accidentally knocking her pencil to the ground.

She quickly bent down to pick up the pencil, and through her profile, you could see her long eyelashes trembling slightly. "Stop fooling around, there are a lot of students watching."

Vincent glanced around casually. "No, there isn't."

Hermione stiffly turned her neck and gave him a shy glare.

She took out several car magazines from her makeup box. "I haven't thought about the interior yet. I need to think carefully about how to design it."

Vincent chuckled softly, "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time to think about it."

Since Christmas night, Hermione hasn't been as easily embarrassed, but she still couldn't resist his teasing.

"Could you... could you please stop looking at me like that?"

"Cannot."

Hermione quickly covered her slightly flushed face with the magazine, revealing only a pair of timid eyes. "Could you sit a little further away? It's hard for me to concentrate when you're like this."

"No." Vincent shifted his chair, moving even closer.

Her lips, though partially hidden, were stretched into a wide smile. "Then you can only look, you're not allowed to touch anything."

She glanced around, trying to suppress the smile on her face, and leaned her head against his shoulder.

They say no, but their actions tell a different story.

Vincent raised his hand and smoothed her loose hair. "What do you mean by 'moving around'? Does this count?"

Hermione huffed and puffed as she picked up the magazine in her hand and began reading it without saying a word.

Clearly, she was tacitly approving.
