"Young man, your flying skills are quite good. Would you like to work for our Nimbus Company?"

Instead of starting the competition, President Devlin began recruiting Brian.

Brian didn't answer, but just looked at Deflin feel uneasy.

Damn it, this young man is actually pitying me, pitying me, the president of this behemoth corporation!

"Enough talk, let's begin!" Brian said coldly, not wanting to waste words on a dead man.

At this moment, Franklin, standing in the crowd, held the Nimbus 2000 in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent, wishing he could give President Devlin a Killing Curse on the spot.

Damn it, how dare they steal his job? They're courting death!

Devlin smiled and said gently, "Young man, don't be too arrogant. I hope you'll consider my words carefully after the match."

"Pfft." Brian sneered, arrogantly saying, "If you're not young and impetuous, what kind of young person are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless camera shutters clicked, and the reporters, their faces beaming with excitement, frantically recorded the scene before them.

President Devlin's face turned green, and he said resentfully, "Very well, but don't you dare cry after the match!"

And so, under the watchful eyes of all the wizards in Diagon Alley and reporters from the top ten newspapers in the Wizarding World, the match began.

Unsurprisingly, Brian's Rocket Crossbow not only outclasses the Nimbus 2001 in appearance, but also far surpasses it in performance.

Even when President Devlin, enraged, summoned a world-class Quidditch player, none could match Brian's Rocket Crossbow.

"I'm sorry, sir, that flying broom was just too fast!" In front of all the media, the world-class Quidditch player said truthfully with a look of shame.

The excited media, like sharks seeing blood, frantically took photos; some reporters even had their articles ready for tomorrow.

The president of Devlin was furious. He knew he couldn't win, but he couldn't say it in front of all the media.

"You piece of trash! Nimbus Company has canceled their sponsorship of you! Get out of here!" Deflin shouted angrily at the athlete, then roughly pushed aside the crowd and slunk away.

At this moment, no one paid attention to the poor loser anymore; everyone's attention was focused on Brian's Rocket Crossbow.

"Mr. Brian, are your Rocket Crossbow available for purchase on the market?" The question came from Rita, the top reporter for the Daily Prophet.

Brian stated without reservation. "In fact, this Rocket Crossbow hasn't been released yet, but in three days, this shop right behind me will officially be selling Rocket Crossbow!"

Everyone then noticed the large shop behind Brian. It used to belong to the Nimbus Company, but now the shop's sign read: Bide Group, Azka Flying Broom Company.

In the center is a large glass door, flanked by two huge floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing a clear view of the shop's interior from the street.

The entire hall was covered with pristine white tiles, and soft lighting illuminated the floor, creating a magnificent and opulent atmosphere.

Although the store hasn't been stocked with any goods yet, several large sofas have been set up, along with several octagonal tables in front of them, each with a cup of hot coffee.

Someone cautiously approached the shop entrance, then exclaimed in surprise, "My God, there's Constant-Temperature Charm inside! It's so warm!"

Everyone was in an uproar. When Lester designed this store, he completely referenced the design of a car dealership from his previous life. For these wizards who lived in the 90s but were living the life of the 50s, it was like a game-changer.

With a spacious area of several thousand square meters, and a beautiful, picturesque interior, who wouldn't love such a shop!

The flashes and camera shutters never stopped; all the reporters were completely absorbed in photographing this luxurious and elegant shop.

Lester knew that the Rocket Crossbow had succeeded, and his Bide Group had successfully entered the Wizarding World, wreaking havoc as soon as it appeared.

"Sang Biao, go and do a survey to see if there are any Muggle-born families in Knockturn Alley who are struggling financially and can't afford to eat. Then ask them if they would be willing to sell their houses to us."

"By the way, forced buying and selling is not allowed. You pay whatever the market price is. Of course, if you encounter someone who is greedy, then you can handle it yourself."

"Yes, Lord Lai!" Sang Biao grinned maliciously; he knew, of course, what it meant to handle it himself.

Victor's laboratory is used to develop new cutting-edge magical technology products for himself; it's impossible for him to be working overtime to produce Rocket Crossbow.

Therefore, opening a factory in the Wizarding World is an urgent matter.

The factory workers certainly couldn't be the prisoners, so the factory couldn't be located in their own base of operations; the risk of exposure would be too great. Knockturn Alley was a good place to do that.

Knockturn Alley is vast, and the slums of Muggle-born are extensive. There's more than enough space to demolish a large area to build a Rocket Crossbow factory.

Once that's done, I can recruit a group of employees from the Wizarding World, and then I can start selling my Rocket Crossbow!

In the past few days, a top-tier celebrity has emerged in the Wizarding World: the flying genius, Brian!

Not only was he personally Order of Merlin, Second Class by the then-prominent Minister Fudge, but he also became the spokesperson for the Rocket Crossbow of the Bide Group's Rocket Crossbow Company.

Just like Xiao Shenyang in 2009, Brian became an overnight sensation, his fame spreading far and wide. Many teenage wizards even took Brian's words as their motto, quoting them all the time.

"If you're not young and impetuous, are you even a young person?!"

Their antics in the streets and alleys, chanting Brian's slogans, made them Brian's loyal fans.

Newspapers, from the largest Daily Prophet in the Wizarding World to third-rate self-media, including Luna's father's Quibbler, were all filled with images of Brian's heroic flight.

[A true hero, a person worthy of our respect!]

The Daily Prophet -page headline read, "Brian, a framed aviation genius, did not succumb to despair when faced with dire straits, but instead rose up in resistance. He is a true man!"

Even Fudge, the most powerful wizard in the entire Wizarding World, made a special statement in an interview.

"Brian, we all know he's a good boy. If all the wizards in England could be like him, we would conquer the whole world!"

Hafiz, the then warden of Azkaban, also published a statement expressing high praise for Brian and calling on young Wizarding World to learn from Brian.

And just like that, Brian became a sensation, an absolute sensation.

The product he endorses, the Rocket Crossbow, has become a treasure in the hearts of countless people. Even before it went on sale, hundreds of people would gather in front of the store, eagerly waiting for it to open for business every day.
