Chapter 30: Zhang Xiao's Journey
Fight and then reconcile?
Like a real man?
Harry's mouth was open, but he didn't expect Dudley to say such a thing.
"And reconcile?"
Dudley nodded heavily, he took a deep breath, and there was determination in his eyes:
"Daddy. Dad told me to take care of my mom and that she was the only one who had us. β
Harry realized that Dudley had not only lost weight, but his personality seemed to have changed a lot, and in his heart Dudley had always been stupid and stupid, gluttonous, and bullying the weak.
But now he seems to be a different person, is it because of Aunt Vernon's departure?
Dudley was still talking to himself:
"Cousin, I know, you also resent us in your heart, you always bullied you before, I apologize to you, but Dad-
I don't know what to do, but I feel like we're familyβ"
"Good! Let's fight! β
Harry simply agreed.
In the garden behind the house, a small wooden house was dimly lit.
Dudley suddenly became interested in boxing one day, and Vernon was delighted, thinking that this was the hobby of a tough guy.
So he specially leveled a small wooden house in the back garden, which was originally regarded as a treasure.
Harry had never been here before, and the first thing he saw was a small ring, compared to what he had seen on TV.
This ring looks a lot more fascinating, only half the size.
There is a row of hooks and seats against the wall, and a small refrigerator leans against the corner.
A sandbag hangs from another small clearing.
The final wall is covered with photographs of Vernon training with Dudley and Dudley hitting punching punching a punching bag.
There is also a photo of the two of them, and in the center is a large photo of Dudley winning the student boxing match.
Every nook and cranny of the cottage was filled with Vernon's love for Dudley, and every nail was set by Vernon himself.
Dudley turned on the spotlight in the ring and threw over a pair of gloves.
"With fist gloves? It's good. Harry nodded, if it had been before, he probably wouldn't have dared to agree to fight Dudley.
But after a long period of training, especially Zhang also taught himself a few hands, as well as the Death Eaters in the church who were defeated by his own hands in the first battle.
All of this gave Harry a strong sense of confidence.
It was only a short period of effort, and the two were already naked, wearing fist gloves and standing on the stage.
Harry realized that Dudley had not only lost weight, but that his fat body had become a mass of muscle, and he looked full of strength.
Dudley also found that his thin cousin had also grown a lot, and his original pockmarked figure seemed to be inflated and inflated, with the same distinct muscles.
The next moment, the two rushed towards each other.
Harry turned his head to dodge Duli's powerful straight punch, and was about to swing back, only to find the other punch rapidly enlarging in front of him.
He had to raise his arms in front of him.
"Bang!" There was a loud crash, and Harry took a few quick steps back, flicking his numb arms.
Once again, the wizard's instinctive twist worked, but Harry didn't know anything about it, he just felt that the pain was weaker than he thought.
He grinned and rushed forward, learning a lot about fighting in the dueling club.
Zhang Xiao took into account the culture and the difficulty of learning, taught basic power skills, and passed on a few killing moves.
Harry, who was wearing gloves, had no scruples, stepping forward with his right foot, stepping on his left heel, stepping on the middle door, and his body followed quickly, like a whip.
is the so-called: snatching and killing a single whip is rare in the world, and the sky-high cannon is the second shun!
Dudley's pupils constricted, and he also blocked with both arms horizontally.
"Bang!" There was another loud crash, and this time the turn of the force fell backwards again and again, looking at his cousin in surprise.
Both were amazed at each other's growth and both were surprised at each other's changes.
"Bang Bang"
At first there were only sporadic sounds, but then they intensified, and finally they joined together, and the dense sound of hitting echoed throughout the room.
Both gave up their defenses and frantically swung their fists at each other's bodies.
Harry's glasses had already flown out, his eyes were red and swollen, and he punched Dudley in the face, knocking him to the ground.
But then he was punched by Dudley and turned his head to the sky, and two nosebleeds flowed down in a hurry.
"This punch is for you, you hit me every day when I was in first grade!"
"This punch is also for you, you used your magic to blow up the toilet bowl when I went to the bathroom!"
Harry found Dudley through the swollen slit in his eyes, rushed up again, and slammed it on his nose:
"It's a burst of magic, I can't control it!"
Dudley's tears flowed in pain, and he covered his nose, only to move forward again for a moment:
"You made me conjure a pig's tail! Boom! β
"You steal my cake! Boom! β
"You put me in the zoo! Boom! β
"You pushed me first! Boom! β
The strength of the fist has become weaker and weaker, but the two are still stubbornly smashing each other's bodies.
Finally, at a certain moment, they could no longer hold it anymore, and they both fell to the ground.
The ground in the ring was covered in sweat and blood, and Harry and Dudley lay on the ground, their chests heaving violently.
Dudley hadn't said anything about you killing my father, and Harry closed his eyes.
After a while, he struggled to his feet from the ground, grinning and rubbing the wounds on his body.
He took off his gloves and held out his hand to Dudley, who was still lying on the floor.
"Hello, Brother D, I'm Harry Potter."
"Harry? Wait a minute. β
Zhang Xiao held the steering wheel in one hand, clamped the mobile phone between his face and neck, and did not forget to snap his fingers at the traffic police who stopped him.
[Confusion Charm].
"Oh, sorry, I made a mistake, you're over 18 and your driver's license is perfectly fine!"
The traffic police officer in London handed back a blank piece of paper with a smile on his face, which in his eyes was a real driver's license.
"Okay, you can say, what's going on?"
Zhang Xiao put her arms on the window of the car, drove the Ferrari with one hand, and let the cold morning breeze blow through her hair.
"Can you help Penny get a job? Close to home with a high salary?
Hmmm - Penny is out of money? Oh, I see. β
Zhang Xiao paused, although he didn't know where Vernon got the Minimi machine gun, the military Land Rover and the equipment.
But obviously not cheap, it is very likely that it cost a lot of money to buy it.
Vernon's income is high, but it is also in the upper middle class, and it is likely that the savings will be emptied all at once.
Penny used to work as a clerk, obviously with no professional skills, plus she didn't have a job for so many years, and Smetin's tuition was not cheap.
Naturally, there is no money.
After thinking about the truth, Zhang Xiao readily agreed, and the luxurious temperament of driving a Ferrari with one hand was undoubtedly revealed:
"No problem, I'll fix it."
After a few more small talks with Harry, Zhang Xiao hung up the phone, this time to Malfoy.
Lucius, as a big man who is thriving in China, his assets are rising, and he is already a very famous multinational company in the UK, so it is really easy to arrange Penny.
When she dialed the phone, Zhang Xiao suddenly reacted, could it be that Harry was embarrassed to call Malfoy, so he called him, right?
Of course, Harry knew Malfoy's family situation, and he knew that Lucius's business was very large.
Two tsunderese!
Sure enough, when the phone was answered, Malfoy first enthusiastically told the story of the journey.
When he heard that Harry was looking for a job for Penny, his voice immediately changed.
Ma Gongzi said in a slow, arrogant, but as if holding back a smile:
"Potter. Please ask me to find a job for his aunt? β
"What's wrong? You don't want to? Zhang Xiao's eyebrows raised.
"That's not - ahem, I mean- why didn't Potter call me himself?"
"Maybe he's embarrassed?"
"Well, how much is Potter's phone? I'm going to call him. By the way, what are you going to do in the UK alone during the summer vacation? β
Zhang Xiao read the number to Malfoy, and then said casually:
"Just take a stroll, relax, after all, every summer vacation is so compact, give yourself a vacation."
As the Ferrari drove into a residential area, Zhang Xiao looked at a sign hanging on a small two-story building not far away.
γGranger Dental Clinicγ
There aren't many people here, but there's still a certain curiosity about the flamboyant fiery red Ferrari.
"I've arrived."
Zhang Xiao hung up the phone and parked the car in the parking space in front of the clinic.
Pushing the door in, the bell at the door made a crisp sound, and the nurse in the pink nurse's uniform at the front desk raised her head and showed a professional smile.
is worthy of a dental nurse, maybe she has also made a patch, and her teeth are white and dazzling.
"Hello - do you have an appointment?"
Dental care in the UK can only be described in one word, and that is expensive! And most of them are by appointment.
Private dental clinics like this are ridiculously expensive.
Zhang Xiao glanced around the first floor of the clinic, and there was no one on the waiting chair:
"Is Mr. Granger here? Or Miss Hermione Granger? β
A knowing smile immediately spread on the nurse's face, and there was a flame of gossip in her eyes, the boss's daughter is 16 years old!
There are few boyfriends at this age in the UK who can already be characterized as undesirable.
"Miss Granger didn't come, but Dr. Granger was upstairs."
After writing about the doctor, Zhang Xiao came to the second floor, just in time to meet Mr. Granger coming out, he was wearing a white coat, but he was a little surprised:
"Zhang? What are you doing here? Do you have a toothache? Come on in, I'll show you. β
Before Zhang Xiao could speak, he was pulled into the examination room by Mr. Granger.
"Don't don't, I just want to come and see if my teeth are fine."
Sitting on the dental chair with tears and laughter, Zhang Xiao looked at Mr. Granger who had already put on his mask and picked up his tools, no matter how his identity changed, his fear of the dentist was deep in the bone marrow.
Mr. Granger regretfully put down his tools and said with a smile, "Hermione went to the bookstore and said she was going to buy some new books for fun."
She's been chattering about last year's school for the past few days, and it's you and Harry the ones who talk about it the most.
Also say that there is a World Cup this year, and do wizards also have a World Cup? β
Mr. Granger was much more talkative than he had been in Diagon Alley, and it was clear that the wizarding world was still a little uncomfortable for him.
"Yes, similar to the Football World Cup, this year it's Ireland vs. Bulgaria."
"Ireland?" Mr. Granger's eyes twinkled as England were eliminated in 1993 by the Netherlands and Norway in World Cup qualifiers, humiliatingly failing to qualify for the 1994 World Cup finals in the United States.
This made British fans furious and deeply ashamed.
As a long-time football fan, Granger is interested in Ireland's ability to reach the World Cup after only a few decades of independence.
Zhang Xiao also invited Mr. Granger to watch it if he was interested, isn't it just a few tickets?
Isn't it a piece of cake for Young Master Zhang and Ma Gongzi?
After chatting for a while, Hermione still didn't come, and Zhang Xiao, who was not used to being cold, began to talk to Mr. Granger about dentistry again.
"I think it's inevitable that a small CBCT will come into the clinic."
"Well, if we had the help of CBCT, it would be much more convenient."
"Soon, the progress of technology will exceed everyone's expectations, I think you can pay more attention to dental implant technology now, although there are still shortcomings, but I think implant technology will become mainstream in the future."
"What about porcelain? I think the advantages of porcelain are also very great. β
"But porcelain still has an impact on MRI examinations, and when MRI is popularized, porcelain teeth will be lonely."
"Popularize nuclear magnetic resonance and become a routine means of examination?"
"Well, I think it will, huh, have you started using glass ions now?"
"Haha, it's much better than resin, but what can be used instead of porcelain teeth? The price of planting is too expensive. It's hard to afford it without insurance. β
"Zirconia bar! All-porcelain, although it hasn't appeared yet, it should be soon. β
Just as Zhang Xiao and Granger were having a good conversation, the door of the examination room was suddenly pushed open, and Hermione stood at the door in surprise with a book in her arms.
"Zhang!"
Zhang Xiao stood up and waved his hand with a smile.
"Why are you here?" Hermione rushed over with a book in her arms, like a fawn, jumping excitedly.
"Zhang said that he was going to drive a car to visit England, and it happened that we were also in London, and this was the first stop, and then he was going to visit his friends one by one."
Mr. Granger interjected to explain for Zhang Xiao, and seeing that his appearance was still a little unsatisfied, he stretched out his hand and shook Zhang Xiao:
"Zhang, if you don't learn magic, you will definitely become an excellent dentist."
Dentist? Hermione's glassy eyes suddenly lit up again, Zhang still knows dentistry?
Well, you can't say that your wife was a dentist in your last life.
Zhang Xiao thought about it, took out the key and shook it in front of Hermione:
"Do you want to go out for a walk? For a ride? β
