Chapter 274: Wushu Party Bank



After Raphael finished speaking, the entire room fell into silence. After a long while, the goblin elder finally spoke: "Raphael, do you think highly of the Witch Party?"

Raphael sighed with a wry smile, then said slowly:

"I was originally optimistic about the Mickey Mouse Party because I liked its ideology. However, after listening to you, I am now more interested in the new Mickey Mouse Party leader, the heir of the Grindelwald family!"

"I'm afraid we will never have the chance to do what we didn't do back then! We should just pray that he doesn't know the truth of what happened back then. Otherwise, with the style of the Witch Party, I'm afraid we fairies will become the new house elves!"

At the same time, in the hall of Gringotts, Harold had just sat down next to Wentworth tremblingly, when Auston came over, leaned over Wentworth and whispered:

"Master, the Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic have arrived. They are gathering in Diagon Alley and are gradually surrounding Gringotts."

Hearing Auston's words, Wentworth was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Carlo on the other side with some surprise, and asked:

"Your arrangement, it seems, has not worked. Scrimgeour is not being held in Scotland?"

Carlo also responded with a puzzled look on his face:

"That's impossible! Scrimgeour must have gone to Scotland. He can't be back so soon?!"

At this time, Auston on the side quickly said: "Master, the one who brought the Aurors this time is not Scrimgeour."

As he spoke, Auston looked at Cassandra beside him, and then he continued carefully: "The temporary leader of this team is Scrimgeour's former head of the Auror Office, Miss Cassandra's father."

Hearing Auston's words, Cassandra was stunned, then quickly stood up and said, "Give me some time, I'll go take care of it."

But before Cassandra could leave, Wentworth pushed her back. Wentworth said to Auston nonchalantly, "Go and try to delay some time. If possible, it would be best to invite Mr. Wally in alone!"

Then, Wentworth turned to look at Rosier and said softly:

"I'll have to trouble Grandma Rosier to make a few more portkeys. We'll use the portkeys to leave later."

Then, Wentworth turned his head and continued to look at Harold in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Professor Harold, are you interested in doing a side job or a part-time job in addition to your position as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?"

Looking at the smiling Wentworth in front of him and hearing Wentworth's question, it must be said that at the critical moment, Harold, who was born in Ravenclaw, finally showed the wisdom of a Ravenclaw student.

Harold immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Wentworth Grindelwald, in Hogwarts, you can call me Professor. Outside of Hogwarts, you can just call me by my name! Is there anything you need my help with? Just tell me!"

Seeing Harold being so tactful, Cedric, Cassandra and others beside him all opened their mouths wide with a look of dullness on their faces. Even Wentworth, who knew who Harold was, couldn't help but look at Harold strangely, and then sighed: "Sure enough, all those who commit fraud are the smartest group of people!"

Seeing that Harold was so tactful, Wentworth was too lazy to continue chatting with Harold and said directly: "We, the Witch Party, are planning to set up our own bank. We would like to invite Mr. Harold to serve as the honorary president of our newly established bank. What do you think, Mr. Harold?!"

After hearing what Wentworth said, it was Harold who was in a daze. Harold stood there in a daze for a long time without reacting to what Wentworth said.

"No problem! It's my honor that the Wu Party has taken a liking to me! I am extremely happy!"

Seeing this, Wentworth nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:

"I'll give you three years. I want our Wizarding Party's bank to surpass Gringotts and become the largest wizarding bank in London and even in the UK! Can you do it?"

Hearing this, Harold finally frowned, shook his head with a wry smile, and said slowly: "Wentworth, this, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Wentworth stared into Harold's eyes and said word by word:

“This will work!”

Harold: "... This... really won't work..."

Then, as if afraid that Wentworth would be angry, Harold quickly explained:

"Wentworth, in today's wizarding world, Wizarding Bank is almost equivalent to Gringotts. Although you burned the authorization letter from that year, it is difficult to change the inherent impression of wizards in a short period of time. They will not believe in a bank that has just appeared!"

Facing Harold's explanation, Wentworth did not refute it. Instead, he nodded slowly, and then said slowly: "So, this is why I asked you to be the honorary president of the Witch Party Bank! Not to mention your own influence, at least, you are very talented in winning the trust of others!"

Then, without waiting for Harold to continue, Wentworth continued:

"Don't worry, the entire wizard party will stand behind you and help you! Besides, we are different from Gringotts. Can you call this a bank? It's just a money house at best! We will be more advanced and open than it!"

"For example, for any customer who comes to our bank to deposit money, not only will we not charge a custody fee, we will even give them money. This is called interest!"

Hearing this, Harold, who was originally frowning, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately perked up. Cassandra, Cedric and others beside him also came over and listened attentively.

Wentworth went on to say:

"Moreover, if any wizard is short of money, they can apply for a loan from our Wizard Party's bank. We are happy to lend them Galleons, but they will also need to pay high interest."

"Of course, if they are willing to use their own properties, or magical items of a certain value confirmed by us, or even rare magical creatures as collateral, the interest rate can be cheaper!"

Seeing that Cassandra was already calculating in detail, Harold seemed to have suddenly realized something. Wentworth smiled slightly and continued:

"As long as the interest rate on the Galleons we lend out is higher than the interest rate we give to wizards for deposits, we will make money, and a lot of money!"
