Menethil's Power

"Why can't I have a girlfriend?"

Bell is badly injured.

He just got a girlfriend, why are you so surprised?

It's quite unbelievable...

"But shouldn't you be holding your sister, crying and begging to marry Shanna?"

Although consanguineous marriage has indeed decreased significantly now, some Pure-blood Family still occasionally do so to maintain the purity of their bloodline. Mom is already mentally prepared for this.

God knows how much effort she put into persuading William. In the end, she had to pull out her Wand before they finally reached an agreement.

"..."

Bell was speechless.

Listen to this!

What kind of talk is that!

How could there be such a great mother in the world!

"How could I possibly marry Shanna? I'm Shanna's Gege!"

Although Bell was very pleased with his mother's awareness, he couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.

"My Gege?"

"..."

Bell was speechless again.

Listen to that! What kind of talk is that!

How could there be such an outrageous mother in the world!

"Where did you learn all these words?!"

Bell said in a frantic voice.

This is the most serious slander of this century!

"But... that's how it is..."

Elena felt so wronged.

She was thinking of Bell with all her heart. But in the end, she only got complaints from her own son.

"Ahem, Mom, that's not what I meant. I meant that as a son of such a great mother as you, of course I should hold myself to high standards and be a responsible and good Gege. Don't you think so?"

Seeing her mother's tearful and aggrieved appearance, even though she knew her mother was faking it, Bell still felt a chill run down her spine.

By the way, the above statement came entirely from Bell's heart, without any falsehood or reluctance, really!

After this family farce ended, the family returned to the restaurant on the first floor.

It's almost 6 o'clock, and the banquet is about to begin.

After searching the restaurant for a while, Bell finally found Hermione leaning against the window alone.

"What are you looking at?"

Bell gently hugged Hermione from behind.

This startled Hermione. She hadn't even noticed Bell's approach.

"Bell..."

Hermione hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

She wanted to know what Bell's mother had said to him when she called him away.

But she didn't dare to ask, and didn't know how to bring it up.

if...

"It's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it."

Bell clearly knew what Hermione wanted to ask.

"Come with me, my mother wants to talk to you."

After saying that, Bell took Hermione's hand and walked towards the sofa not far away. Elena was sitting there waiting for them.

As Elena watched the two walking towards her hand in hand, her curiosity was practically bursting out.

She was extremely curious about Hermione. She wanted to know what was so special about this Little Witch that made her son insist on dating her despite his sister's objections.

How did she know that Shanna would object?

Hehe!

She didn't even need to ask. If Shanna didn't object, she'd eat the sofa right now!

Elena stared intently at Hermione, scrutinizing her from top to bottom and then from left to right. To be honest, Elena somewhat disappointed.

She couldn't see anything special about this Little Witch named Hermione.

She's not exactly beautiful, but she's passable. As for her figure... well, it's about average for her age?

As for her family background, judging from her parents' appearance, they should both be Muggle?

As for other aspects, they are not so easily discernible.

Sitting on the sofa, listening to his mother and girlfriend chatting about everyday things, Bell yawned out of boredom.

Suddenly, all the lights in the restaurant went out.

A beam of bright light shone on the stage at one end of the restaurant, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's Christmas Banquet. On behalf of the Menethil Family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your presence!"

William, who hadn't been seen all day, appeared in the center of the stage, dressed in a formal suit.

"I imagine some of you have already heard some of the news. Indeed, besides celebrating Christmas, today's banquet has another purpose: to celebrate the founding of our Menethil Family's new company—'The Menethil's Power '!"

William was very satisfied with the name he had chosen for his son.

That brat, when he named that Magic Item Shop "Menethil Magical Item Shop" last time, kept criticizing him, saying it was too high-profile and too vulgar.

It made him a little panicked at the time.

Could it be that he really has a problem with his taste?

It turns out that Bell, that rascal, was a hypocrite.

Perhaps this is what they call "saying one thing but doing another"?

"Next, please allow me to take a little of your time to introduce the first product of the Menethil's Power — the Magical Satellite!"

A huge screen slowly rose up from behind William.

William drew his Wand and tapped the screen lightly, and the screen lit up.

"Please look, everyone. This is a map of the Britain. However, this map is different from the maps we usually use; it changes in real time."

William randomly clicked on a point on the map, and the map immediately changed. Some tall buildings appeared on the screen, and you could even see crowds of people coming and going on the streets.

"This is a spot I randomly selected, not too far from here. Next, I will Side-Along Apparition here, so please watch closely."

After saying that, William turned around and disappeared from the stage.

A House-elf leaped onto the stage, manipulating the map to zoom in and out. Everyone could clearly see William appear in an alleyway, waving at them.

After receiving the signal that his objective had been achieved, William Side-Along Apparition once again and returned to the stage.

"As we all know, the number of Muggle has been growing at an increasingly rapid pace in recent decades. Muggle are beginning to be found in more and more places around the world."

Under the Statute of Statute of Secrecy, we must avoid Muggle when using magic. This has caused us a lot of trouble.

William stood on the stage and delivered a passionate speech.

Some wizards who knew about the upheaval that swept through the entire Magical World decades ago found William's remarks rather odd the more they listened.

Could they have been fooled? Is today not a banquet, but an illegal gathering?

Fortunately, William's next words dispelled the wizards' doubts and made some of them who were about to report to the Ministry of Magic stop what they were doing.

"But now, with the Magical Satellite of our Menethil's Power, all these problems will be solved!"
