The Wizarding World's Supply Captain

William came to Diagon Alley not only because of the war taking place there, but also to check on the current situation of Akali's Mystery Shop.

Of course, there was also support for Cedric's wand shop.

The two first met at the wand shop.

Back then, William was a complete novice, and he didn't even know magic.

Cedric is just a little apprentice who only knows how to make promises he can't keep.

Now, seven years later, Cedric has finally opened a wand shop, fulfilling his dream.

But then again...

After seven years of diligent study, Cedric rose from a rod-making apprentice to a rod-making master, truly a chosen one.

The largest arms supplier has disappeared, leaving an 80% market share void overnight.

And since he was a student of Ollivander, regardless of how much of the technique he had learned, he was at least from a legitimate "reputable" school, not some quack.

Furthermore, backed by Akali's Mystery Shop, they have ample funds and abundant resources...

Suddenly, a long queue of over a hundred people formed at the entrance, all there to buy magic wands.

Of course, the composition of this long queue is somewhat complicated.

There is definitely a navy.

It's like when a new property launches, most of the people queuing up to buy a house are actually shills.

However, the twins didn't have many actors; only... a tiny fraction of them.

Another group of customers are Cedric's mothers.

These are the wealthy women who were just about to take measurements by hand.

These witches are big spenders; buying seven or eight wands at a time is no problem for them.

Is he after the magic wand?

The point is to get on-site after-sales service!

Among the crowd, there were also some elderly women with astonishing fighting power queuing up, who were there to buy magic wands and get free eggs.

For the old lady, the allure of receiving eggs was immense, comparable to seeing her dream lover from her youth... Dumbledore.

William even saw Lee Jordan's grandmother, the one who supposedly Quidditch championship with him.

Watching the old lady deftly vie for a spot with a group of sailors... William truly believed it!

The remaining wizards are the customers who truly need our services today.

They really need to buy a wand.

Although the ingredients were complex, Cedric himself was quite capable, having thoroughly mastered Ollivander's marketing concepts.

Regardless of who buys the wand, put on a crazy performance to make you think... you are the chosen one of this world.

Then they deliberately search through ten or more times before finding a suitable wand, making you think you have a special talent.

Cedric's performance was very powerful; he must have practiced a lot behind the scenes.

This excellent role-playing, fluent tongue, and skillful body language... no wonder he could make rich women linger.

Isn't it much more powerful than a steel wool pad?

However, William only helped for a short while before quickly leaving.

Because the customers saw him and all wanted his autograph.

Cedric got so excited that he agreed to buy a wand and give him two autographed pieces from William.

There were over a hundred people queuing up at the entrance, with their families in tow.

Even if William wrote it in a handprint like a chicken claw, he couldn't sign this many names!

Cedric has a knack for betraying his brothers.

After leaving the wand section, William and the twins entered the next room through a side door.

Akali's Mystery Shop is very large and divided into many areas.

Besides the wand section, there are also prank items, high-end Potions, and alchemical artifacts.

William is dedicated to creating a comprehensive, all-inclusive service, ensuring that every wizard's life is inseparable from Akali's Mystery Shop.

This is just the beginning.

The number of customers in the prank product section was even more exaggerated than in the wand section, and it was even a bit crowded.

Seven or eight well-trained female saleswomen are introducing products to customers.

These are all Hogwarts graduates, all of whom have been hired by William at high salaries.

From now on, top-tier talents will go to Akali's Mystery Shop, while second-rate wizards will go to the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, the fine tradition of experiencing a midlife crisis at thirty-five should be maintained.

The exploitative old capitalists... this isn't just a casual remark.

While inspecting the prank area, William also ran into Penelope.

As one of the earliest employees, she is now a department manager, dressed in a professional office outfit, looking very capable.

She was introducing a new prank product to everyone.

A group of children, around ten years old, stood around, excitedly watching a small wooden figure slowly climb the steps and ascend towards a realistic noose.

Both items were on top of a box, which was labeled:

Reusable Hangman can't piece it together, hang him!

When Penelope saw William, she quickly waved.

This drew many people's attention to William.

It turned out to be Stark, and then there was another rush.

Hermione stood not far away, accompanied by several House-elf squad leaders.

She was explaining the security arrangements for the express delivery.

After the outbreak of war, some things could no longer be sent directly to Hogwarts as before.

An inspection must be conducted first.

She's the head of the House-elf delivery service; these are things she has to be very careful about.

William toured the area but didn't find too many problems, so he continued listening to the twins' report.

William is very busy right now.

He left the store's sales entirely to the twins and Cedric.

Anyway, the three of them have already graduated and have the energy to deal with these things.

William was only responsible for steering the ship and formulating the store's strategy.

Of course, as a master of Alchemy and Potions Master, this magical tech geek would also seek William's help with technical support when he encountered problems he couldn't solve.

What the twins needed William's approval for was a full-scale cooperation with the Ministry of Magic.

"The Ministry of Magic ordered five hundred Shield Hat from us, along with matching gloves."

"This is the largest order to date," George said.

"The Ministry of Magic has also ordered the super-defense cloaks you made from us." Fred asked, "Do we need them?"

They made Defence Against Dark Magic items when William and his classmates were in school.

For example, there's the Shield Hat. If you wear this kind of hat and stare at the face of an enemy casting a curse, the curse will bounce back.

However, this can only defend against some common minor curses; it is not very useful against offensive magic.

William has now created a super defensive cloak that can resist even stronger spells.

It can even reduce the power of much Dark Magic, like Wizarding World version of "bulletproof vest".

However, this kind of thing is currently very expensive, and William doesn't want to supply it to the Ministry of Magic.

Although Bones was the minister, many Death Eaters had infiltrated the ministry.

William was very worried that the strategic materials procured by the Ministry of Magic would end up in the hands of the Death Eaters.

Wouldn't that make him just like Chang Kaishen, turning him into a transport captain?

It would be better to only supply members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Regardless of whether they're sold or not, one undeniable fact is that items with Defence Against Dark Magic capabilities are currently extremely profitable.

In Fred's words:

"You simply can't believe how many people, even those working at the Ministry of Magic, can't even recite a decent Shield Charm."

The Wizarding World's current level of magic has regressed to an appalling degree.

Therefore, the idea of wizards ruling Muggle can only exist in dreams.

Most wizards are utterly useless in combat.

Just like the "Skull Island heartthrob" Little King Kong, no matter which version, he was destined to lose to Godzilla, the king of monsters.

Thanks to the boss of "Tianhen Sword Waterfall" for the 10,000-coin reward.
