They have power and influence, and plenty of Gold Galleons.

Lucius acquired a portion of the Black and Lestrange Family fortune, acted swiftly.

He unilaterally terminated the cooperation Contract with Japan and claimed that they were corporate spies sent by competitors.

Hundreds of thousands of defective cards?

It was clearly sabotaged!

Everything in the factory is normal, and the quality inspection standard has even been raised to 200 successful Transfiguration.

The Wizard Cards, which had already dropped by a quarter in price, have finally stabilized.

The card dealers, who had just left Japan, naturally went to Yamamoto immediately to demand an explanation.

But when they returned, the extremely luxurious shop had been demolished and was now in ruins.

The law enforcement team members searching for Yamamoto's whereabouts are still there, but he has probably already fled abroad.

Ebenezer's face darkened as he suddenly realized something was amiss.

There are only 26 people including myself, missing that big Russian businessman.

"Merde!" Bastien felt a bit oxygen-deprived after cursing.

She even thought it was worth it to sleep with Yamamoto wore a wig, for a few nights and then get a hundred or so Emerald Card at a friend's price.

"Cograsdégo?? tant!"

Bastien pointed to the dilapidated shops and launched into a long string of authentic French profanities:

"Jevaistenculerlecul, Déterrezvrosiindeporc..."

Ebenezer, who knew a little French, instinctively covered his buttocks.

It sounds beautiful, but it's actually full of cruel words.

Yamamoto were to actually endure this "full service," he would probably be close to death.

"Madam, what we need to do now is not to swear."

"Shut up!"

The elegant French profanity lingered for a long time.

The passing Japan shaman thought it was reciting poetry.

Ebenezer lowered his head with a wry smile.

The company suffered a loss of nearly 100,000 Galleon, reducing its total assets by one-fifth.

If I go back to Britain, my older brother will laugh at me; if I stay here, my younger colleagues will laugh at me.

Exhausted from yelling, Bastien took a few minutes to recover, then left without saying goodbye.

Having been hit so hard, they're probably going to lose both their money and their lives.

She's the one who's really in a bad situation, but the rest aren't much better off.

They lost all the money they had earned before, and several of them even lost a lot of money.

After realizing the risks, they all began to take a more calm approach to the Wizard Cards.

After finishing his Defense Against the Dark Arts, Vincent went to the Club Room as usual and habitually opened "Magic Town Daily News".

The accompanying picture shows a heavily made-up France woman swearing.

Judging from his lip movements, he probably doesn't understand things that someone his age should know.

"If only there were sound..."

He closed the newspaper and picked up the Daily Prophet.

These gentlemen are truly wealthy and powerful; they just finished covering all the large sections this morning, and now they're almost covering the entire newspaper.

I reckon the weekly Witch Weekly will be published tomorrow, Saturday.

Hopefully, "The Quibbler" can stay true to its original intentions.

"Have you finished reading?" Hermione was about to translate the news for him.

Vincent pointed to the illustration in "Magic Town Daily News," saying, "I can roughly guess what it's about."

Her expression shifted from confusion to horror.

Although her French wasn't very good, she could still understand simple words like "fat pig's ass." ..."What exactly did that bald guy do to her?"

"Who knows, maybe this lady is just very vengeful."

Hermione opened the Daily Prophet.

After a quick glance, she already guessed that the Wizard Cards were about to be destroyed.

The way these powerful figures quickly amass wealth is simply through "official" buybacks, using a large number of high-priced transactions to revive market confidence.

Normally, card merchants would buy up all the cards they saw that were profitable.

They've already learned their lesson once, and unless they reveal their official identity, they won't regain their faith in the Wizard Cards.

But if the men want to escape unscathed, they need a scapegoat.

The magical Contract with the Ashiya family has been dissolved, and the card dealers know the "insider information."

Vincent, in a good mood, looked across the door.

Draco was so angry that he tore the newspaper to shreds, and Pansy and Blaise Zabini didn't look much better either.

These silly kids probably still don't understand that Wizard Cards is actually a scam.

Prices that have been artificially inflated will eventually be brought back to their original levels.

Everyone thought they could cash out and leave early, and everyone felt they wouldn't be the last one left holding the bag.

Vincent's initial idea was that he only needed to step in at the crucial moment, and the men would become rats that everyone wanted to beat.

Although it was particularly cruel, this is the lesson.

As for now...

Perhaps Hermione and Daphne changed his mind, or perhaps he just wanted to find a suitable excuse.

Daphne, who arrived late, had just sat down when she excitedly shared some good news.

When she returned to her dormitory after class and put away her textbooks, she overheard several Wizard Cards contestants complaining in the common room.

The prize money has been reduced from 30 Galleon to 5 Galleon per win, and tomorrow's expected 50 matches have been further reduced to 10.

Hermione glanced at the Black Swan Club Room, whose door was already closed.

"Malfoy must have been so angry just now because his family took back his prize money, and there was this news about Wizard Cards today."

Vincent paused for a moment.

It's certain that I can't stay here any longer, but whether I'll transfer to Durmstrang is another matter.

Life at Hogwarts is wonderful, and it would be a shame without this foul-mouthed Blondie.

"Do you think Rita Skeeter dares to reveal the truth about the Wizard Cards?"

Hermione and Daphne stared at him suspiciously for a long time.

"If she writes an anonymous letter, would she dare to publish it in the newspaper?"

When powerful men are rich and powerful, even the truest truth will be concealed.

The key issue is that Rita's reputation has been poor lately due to her fluctuating behavior, and the only people willing to believe her are probably her loyal readers.

Hermione sensed his true intention. "You want to use her connections to spread information?"

Daphne also understood, "If the card dealers aren't falling for it, then the Wizard Cards will have to get involved themselves to reap the rewards?"

Vincent felt a chill run down his spine from their stares. "Yeah."

The public is watching and waiting, and so are business people.

If I were them, I would establish an official buyback program to completely lock in the minimum price.

The market, which had cooled down, is now boiling again, but it can no longer reach the same level of activity as before.

It's still the same old game of musical chairs, but this time with official backing.

"I took back the prize money because I had decided to abandon the Wizard Cards, and also because I needed to raise funds as soon as possible to make my plans."

After this incident, the gentlemen will definitely be even more cautious.

They weren't fools, having already been tricked once; the profit-driven card merchants weren't fools either; and the people trying to get rich with Wizard Cards were even less foolish.

The recycled cards re-enter the secondary market, at most earning just a little less Gold Galleons.

Will the gentlemen get what they want?

Of course not.
