Newbies Need to Level Up First

"No, are you sure this was accumulated over two months, and not two years?"

Bell said, his eye twitching.

If he remembered correctly, his sister-in-law's wedding date was only set two months ago, right?

He had never heard of any prophetic lineage in his own family or his maternal grandfather's family. How could they possibly be able to predict the future?

"Yes, Young Master, this is what we've accumulated over the past two months."

Sally said expressionlessly.

When she's working, she always maintains this serious, expressionless demeanor.

"That's way too much!"

While complaining, Bell reached out and picked up the top sheet of paper, then put it in front of him and began to read.

"Someone's causing trouble in the store? No, do you really need to report something like this? Just beat them up and throw them out, wouldn't that be enough?"

Bell said speechlessly.

He now has serious doubts about the competence of his United States employees.

"Young Master, doing that would tarnish the family's image and seriously affect the sales of the family's various businesses."

Sally pushed up her glasses and continued speaking expressionlessly.

"Well..."

After careful consideration, Bell realized that Sally's words made sense. After all, his family was a business family, though not exactly respectable, but businessmen value harmony above all else.

"Then call the police! Find the Auror. The Auror in the United States Congress can't just sit around doing nothing, can they?"

"Young Master, most of the thugs who come to cause trouble in the store are hired by United States wizarding organizations. And the relationships between these wizarding organizations are complicated, so Auror won't easily offend these people."

"..."

"Gege, let me release the Little Bear to bite them!"

Seeing her Gege looking worried, Shanna immediately said excitedly.

Since Shanna had grown up (which wasn't actually the case), Bell thought it was time for Shanna to start getting involved in some family matters (actually, it was just to be lazy). So this time, he took Shanna with him to deal with these backlogged issues.

Although Bell was suspected of having ulterior motives, Shanna was still very happy that her Gege was taking her out to play.

Right now, the little girl is bursting with energy, looking like she can hardly sit still.

"Ahem! Let's give them another chance to reform."

Kind-hearted as Bell, he couldn't bear to see the horrific scene of bloodshed. Therefore, he decided to learn more about the situation, to know his enemy thoroughly, before going to kill those people.

"This kind of problem must have happened before, right? How were it handled before? Just follow the same steps, won't you?"

Bell said.

"Although the losses caused by this problem are not significant, after all, those thugs are just doing their jobs for money and dare not offend the family too much."

But precisely because of this, it has always been the most troublesome problem for the four adults. The solutions are slightly different each time depending on the actual situation, and a unified solution has not yet been found.

However, one thing they all had in common was that the methods adopted by the four adults were relatively mild, prioritizing the preservation of the family's image above all else.

Sally explained.

As she finished speaking, she glanced discreetly at Miss Shanna, who was bouncing around on the sofa like a little monkey.

"As expected of Lady Elena's daughter, not only do they look alike, but their personalities are almost identical."

Although Sally didn't know what the Little Bear her young lady was talking about was, she figured that anything that could bite couldn't be an easy creature to get along with.

After smacking his lips, Bell finally decided to put the problem aside for now. A newbie like him shouldn't jump into high-level dungeons right away. Following the proper path—completing beginner quests and accumulating experience to level up—was the right way to go.

After taking the second sheet of paper and carefully reading its contents, Bell smiled.

This is a simple problem; he can do it!

"Our family doesn't intend to create a monopoly. If these people want to copy our Flying Car, let them copy them. We just need to maintain technological leadership."

With that, Bell snapped his fingers. The pen on the table floated up, ready to write down his decision on the paper.

"Young Master, these people deliberately made the Flying Car look exactly like the family's Flying Car, even the logo is almost identical. Then they sell it at a cheaper price."

Many unsuspecting customers, after purchasing those inferior versions of the Flying Car, would turn around and smear the family's reputation.

In this way, those people not only gained profits but also tarnished their family's reputation.

Sally interrupted Bell's actions.

"Then why isn't it written here?"

Unsurprisingly, Bell froze. He glanced at the paper in his hand again, puzzled; it certainly didn't contain what Sally had mentioned.

"Since all four adults knew about these things, they didn't specifically mention it."

"..."

Bell finally understood. He wondered why his grandparents and maternal grandparents had significantly more gray hair and seemed less energetic after their recent meeting.

He had previously thought it was Clara's grandmother who had caused him trouble.

So that's what happened, it was all because of those United States!

Bell tossed the papers aside again, deciding to deal with them after the upgrade, and then reached for the third sheet of paper.

Boom!

Without any warning, the table in front of Bell was crushed to pieces, and the large stack of papers on it flew everywhere.

Sally drew her Wand with lightning speed and cast an Shield Charm on herself. Then, she nervously scanned her surroundings, ready to attack at any moment.

She never imagined that one day she would be attacked in the most central office location of her family.

Are those United States planning to disregard the rules and completely break off relations?

Aren't they afraid of starting a war?

However, after a tense moment of vigilance, Sally realized something was wrong.

Why is it so quiet outside?

Think about it calmly. If the enemy really had attacked this place, the people outside would have to issue a warning.

You should know that because of the blatant hostility between various wizarding gangs in the United States, the family has set up a very strict defense system here, so it is impossible for anyone to sneak in silently.

Not everyone is named Grindelwald, and can secretly impersonate the Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

Most importantly, Sally noticed that neither her Young Master nor her young mistress seemed nervous at all; neither of them even took out their Wand.

"Someone attacked the family's farm, causing minor injuries to three farm workers? Does this kind of thing happen frequently?"

Bell's emotionless voice interrupted Sally's thoughts.

"Yes, yes."

For some reason, upon hearing her Young Master's voice, Sally felt a chill run down her spine, and her body tensed even more than before.
