Gringotts Wizarding Bank, business hall.

The bright sunlight was cut off by the marble hall, and the faces of the elves standing in the middle of the banking hall began to look unsightly, as if an invisible rope was slowly tightening around their necks.

"Well, if you try your best, Gringotts will indeed be able to drag on for a while...... Whether it is to admit Gringotts's breach of trust and to disclose the original contract. But this will undoubtedly reduce the value of the bank significantly, and it will take some effort to restore it to its current level, after all, it is easier to inherit an intact Gringotts than to rebuild on the ruins......"

Fairy Douglas said calmly, not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Venture Capital...... The most precious thing is the ...... of the message"

The middle-aged goblin paused, a rather complicated look flashed on his face, and said softly.

"However, you may not have paid attention to the inconspicuous news that at this moment, a public trial is going on in Hogwarts Castle, and the trial also happens to be a wizard who has 'come back from the dead' - Peter Pettigrew. ”

"What does the judgment of wizards have to do with our Gringotts......"

"As far as I know, Peter Pettigrew is a very hidden Death Eater who has been secretly lurking at Hogwarts since the fall of the Mysteries, and even stole the Slytherin title deed some time ago - yes, the one that is now stored in the vault below. Tsk, this is a heinous bad guy......"

In the increasingly distorted and hideous expressions of the Gringotts Elven Council of Elders, Douglas shook his head unhurriedly.

"Oh, I know you have a lot to say right now, but don't rush to refute me just yet, listen patiently as I finish the rest of the story, and then ask questions in unison. Peter Pettigrew is a terrifying conspirator, and mortgaging Hogwarts is just the first step in his revenge on the wizarding world, and not long ago, he did something even worse. ”

"This morning, the Aurors of the Department of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic found the registration information of the 'Federal Reserve System of Magic in the United States' in Tumbledown Alley, and the signature of the legal person at the end of the contract was Peter Pettigrew. Of course, this kind of huge deception must not be carried out by Peter Pettigrew alone...... Worst of all, during this time, more than one wizard happened to see the elves in Tumbledown Alley......"

Speaking of this, Douglas glanced meaningfully at Chief Elder Groin, who was standing at the front, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Of course, these goblins have all been secretly executed by Gringotts a long time ago - but I guess in the eyes of human wizards, most goblins look similar, right? I'm sorry, I've never been good at hiding my whereabouts." ”

"This simple and inferior method of planting blame is simply full of mistakes and omissions......

Groin gritted his teeth and sneered, staring at Douglas as if he had seen the goblin for the first time.

"Simple, but extraordinarily effective, Elder. ”

Douglas replied calmly, casually gesturing to the large and bright marble hall.

"What does Gringotts Wizarding Bank stand for in the wizarding world? And in the eyes of wizards, we goblins symbolize the financial activity itself, this kind of financial scam involving all wizards, even if there is no evidence, goblins and Gringotts are the primary targets of suspicion. Not to mention, the wizard also gets an impeccable reason. ”

After a slight pause, Douglas looked up at the group of goblins in front of him who represented Gringotts' past will, sighed, and continued in a heavy and clear tone without the slightest look of pleasure on his face.

"Under the influence of the elixir, Peter Pettigrew should have confessed to all his crimes, including not only betraying his friends, defecting to the Dark Demons, mortging Hogwarts, and creating financial scams...... It also includes the suggestion that Gringotts use a forged mortgage contract to blame ordinary Hogwarts students, as well as the support of the elves behind the scam...... All the evidence, the testimony, the witnesses, all point to the same result, and all the judges will also be stakeholders. ”

Slowly, despair gradually appeared on the faces of the elf elders and executives.

Douglas, however, couldn't help but sigh again, and said the final conclusion in a flat tone.

"Needless to say, if all the charges are against Gringotts, then the next goblin will not face an orderly run...... Wizards have never believed in goblins, and we've had more than one or two wars with wizards over the years, but if it breaks out this time, it will probably be the last......"

The middle-aged goblin's voice didn't have too many emotional fluctuations from beginning to end, and it seemed as if he was completely out of the way, standing in the perspective of a bystander, calmly telling such a story.

In fact, it's the only thing it's capable of doing right now.

It was the most ridiculous, crude, and terrifying negotiation it had ever experienced in all these years – if this meeting with Gringotts was anything but the last. All the hole cards are almost generously displayed in front of the opponent, even including future means, some previous conspiracy designs.

But even though the elves now knew all this, knew every link, every step, the trap set by Elena, and knew what was to come, there was nothing they could do to stop the tide from coming.

As the helmsman of Gringotts' Wizarding Bank, as the core leadership of the elves, the group of goblins present may still be bound by the current era in terms of vision and thinking, but when Douglas gradually stripped everything out and stacked it in front of them, they understood the end they were about to face almost instantly.

It's not a buffer room for huge losses, internal divisions, or factional changes, it's a catastrophe that hangs over their heads like a sword of Damocles and is about to fall.

Wizards never believed in goblins...... V3 Academy

Exterminating the goblins, all the wizard needs is a reason......

colluded with the dark forces, created panic, and defrauded most of the wealth of the magical world......

Seemingly independent events and information come together......

Douglas stood up and slowly walked from counter to counter in the hall, his fingers quietly stroking over the mottled wooden counters, probably older than him, waiting for the rest of the elves to digest what had just been said.

A moment later, the middle-aged goblin walked up to the elders and said in a heavy tone.

"At this point in time, the truth is no longer the most important thing. There are definitely more wizards in the wizarding world who have malicious intentions towards elves and Gringotts than there are close to us. Before I arrived at Gringotts, the public trial would already begin, and everything would be spread throughout the wizarding world with no room for retrieval from it. ”

"It's just...... It would not be a good thing to allow angry wizards to destroy Gringotts. Whether it is as a currency issuer or a channel for circulation, banks will still have to be there after all, and if they are completely broken and rebuilt, the financial markets of the wizarding world will be in chaos for a long time...... This is a very heavy price for a civilization. ”

"So according to the eldest lady's meaning, I still hope that these things will be solved before everything becomes out of control. ”

Douglas paused, looked at the elves around him and nodded.

"You all know that time is indeed very short, but this is also to be able to help His Excellency Gu Ling make up his mind as soon as possible. In order to cope with this difficulty, after taking over Gringotts, many of the next layouts still need to be coordinated by everyone present, otherwise the final result will not change much......"

"Of course, the most important thing is the sincerity of Gringotts and our goblins. This is what the eldest lady values the most. ”

"I remember at the beginning, I said it once, and then I reminded it again, and now it's the third and last time – it's not a business negotiation, there's no room for bargaining. Time is running out for the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and once the wave of wizards' wrath begins to take shape, even two Albus Dumbledores may not be able to control what follows. ”

"And the wisest choice is not to ask too much why, as soon as possible to comply with the next arrangements of the eldest lady, so that all the processes are unimpeded, and all orders will not be delayed and sluggish. After all, for wizards, if Gringotts doesn't cooperate, they have an easier way...... Although there will be a lot of trouble after that. ”

Douglas let out a long breath, his gaze sweeping over each elf's face.

All of this is the task that Elena Kaslana has given him this week, and now all he can do is hope that everything will go according to the best.

As the CFO of Destiny, he was given only one promise.

When everything turned chaotic, the Manifest Destiny Group promised to shelter a small number of Gringotts goblins, as the last spark of the elves, and safely escaped the wrath of the wizards as lifelong employees of the Mandate Group.

"So...... You're for the goblins and Gringotts...... Found an empress?"

"From a more optimistic point of view, it's pretty much like this. ”

Douglas nodded, and looked around at the wizards standing on the periphery of the "elf swarm".

"This is a force that you can't imagine magnitude, and although it may be subject to a lot of control and interference in the future, on the bright side, at least Gringotts has chosen a more promising force than the Ministry of Magic...... When the interests are tied, even the Minister of Magic can no longer threaten Gringotts...... We have all lost so completely, their stupid and incompetent bureaucrats, if they stretch out their claws, will only be more pitiful......"

Chief Elder Groin looked at Douglas and the wizards around him tremblingly, opened his mouth, and said nothing, but the old elf's eyes had answered almost all of Douglas's questions.

Looking at the old goblin who had been in charge of the Gringotts wizarding bank for nearly two hundred years, Douglas muttered.

"In short, I'm very happy if you can understand all this......"

"So ......"

After a moment of silence, Elder Groin asked in a deep voice as he looked at the former head of Gringotts' venture capital department, who was much younger and more energetic than him.

"Gringotts, the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank, including so many elves, have been entrusted to that Elena Kaslana...... Can she protect all the gold and goblins, and defeat the traitors......"

Whining...... The network at home collapsed, and the wireless and 4G could not be connected, and now it is barely connected to the 4G hotspot......
