Chapter 538: The Eve of Dawn

"Leos! What's going on?! Didn't you say everything was under control?!"

"Elders, the decision to directly take the Hogwarts contract was voted by the entire Council of Elders. Since something like that happened, it is natural that you should have understood that the financial chain may be broken. Besides, in

Before this, every financial war we participated in was won in this way..."

Leos clenched his fists, put them to his mouth and coughed twice. The look on his face was no longer as cold as before.

"The specific financial statements in this regard have been taken away from the archives in advance by me. This is also to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of Gringotts' empty period to launch attacks. Except for Bao Ge, the former deputy director of the venture capital department,

Besides, no one is aware of the cash flow problems so far...

"...Perhaps in these days, someone will notice that Bao Ge's mental state is not right. In addition, after the news of Bao Ge's suspension for recuperation came out today, it will inevitably trigger some more discussions. But fortunately, Bao Ge

We have always been cautious, and even if we have detected abnormalities in some accounts before, we will not publicize them before reaching a conclusion."

"Of course, I guess he might have been a little lucky at first, but as the amount of capital investment during this period increased, he would have felt some of the problems even if he didn't look through the files... Thanks to Bao

With Ge's actions, we have closed the last loophole, and no one will be able to find any more clues if they come to investigate."

"Is this so..."

At the long table of the huge ring-shaped Goblin Elder Council, the Great Elder Gloin frowned, tapping his long and sharp nails on the table, and a slightly hesitant and gloomy look flashed across his old cheeks.

.

"Well done, Leos, you have lived up to the trust placed in you by the Gringotts Council of Elders..."

The Gringotts Goblin Council of Elders is the core class that has secretly controlled the direction of the goblin clan for thousands of years. It is not so much a group of senior advisors as it is the ruling class that has been hiding in the dark since the goblin king was killed by a human wizard.

As a former minister of venture capital, Leos was not qualified to join this level.

However, the Gringotts Goblin Council of Elders, on the one hand, took into account Leos' outstanding performance in several financial investments more than a hundred years ago, and on the other hand, considered that the resources he controlled had gradually threatened the power held by the Council of Elders.

Only with some Gringotts shares did he become the thirteenth elder of the Goblin Council of Elders.

"But..." Chief Elder Gloin pondered for a few seconds, exchanged glances with the two old goblins around him, crossed his slender and skinny fingers, and spoke slowly and softly, "After all, it still caused some people's hearts to wander...

"

Whether it is Douglas or Bao Ge, both of them are elite fairies promoted by Leos.

Although Leos now obeys the advice of the Gringotts Council of Elders and has dealt with these two dangerous signs, it has also allowed him to return to the helm of the Venture Capital Department and experience those war gambles that shocked the world.

They all knew how disturbing the ambition and gambling nature of the "young" Elf Thirteen Elder at the end of the round table were.

"How are you going to deal with those little guys who raise objections or pry into secrets?"

"As I reported to the Council of Elders before, I removed them from their posts as soon as possible, completely blocked the news, sealed off their workplaces, destroyed all draft documents, and controlled them all in Vault No. 997

…”

"But... they will come out eventually, until the situation calms down..."

Gloin frowned, sighed slowly, looked at Leos meaningfully, and said no more.

The situation these days has given them a very bad feeling, as if there is some extremely dangerous force secretly peeking at the gold in Gringotts' vault. When they think about it carefully, they finally fall into the trap of Venture Capital.

On the body.

As the only bank in the wizarding world, Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which owns the right to mint and issue gold Galleons, and shares in dozens of large Muggle commercial banks, should not have any opponents - unless this threat comes from themselves.

.

The empty and cold underground hall fell into a strange silence. The twelve goblin elders who controlled the actual operation of Gringotts stopped talking and what they were doing, and turned their attention to the thirteenth person with the most junior standing at the end of the round table.

Elder.

"……I see."

Leos grinned, showing his sharp teeth, and replied softly without changing his expression.

"Now that Douglas and the others have turned their back on the interests of the Gringotts goblins, it is not worth it for them to continue to consume our precious resources... Don't worry, I will handle all this, and they will no longer be a problem for you."

"That's naturally the best..."

"After this incident is over, you can give the supervisor position to Lars. After all, it seems that he is suitable now. As for you, Gringotts Council will reward you 1% to 5% based on the final income.

equity..."

"Yes, then I'm going to clean up the storage space in the 997 vault."

Leos bowed respectfully and walked out slowly holding on to his cane.

Before receiving the emergency meeting of the Gringotts Goblin Council of Elders, he had already imagined the worst case scenario in advance. After all, the world had changed too fast over the years, and neither the goblins nor the Muggles had done a complete job.

preparation.

As for the current result, for him, his efforts over the past hundred years have not been in vain.

Walking out of the cold and spacious underground parliament hall, not far away is the hub passage leading to the Venture Capital Department, Overseas Strategy Department, Heritage Survey Department and many other core departments. For thousands of years, the Gringotts Goblin Council at the core has been like

Like a heart that never stops, it keeps sending orders to departments in all directions, driving the goblin to exist tenaciously in the world.

Therefore, when Leos received the notice and stood at this fork more than a hundred years ago, one can imagine the sense of accomplishment and pride in his heart - as a goblin of Gringotts Wizarding Bank,

Being able to step into the ranks of the Council of Elders and hopefully become the final leader can be said to be the biggest dream and luck of all goblins.

But at this moment, as he stroked the gold coin carving on his cane, his heart felt cold and peaceful.

Whether it's the Gringotts Council of Elders, the goblin traitors in North America, or the selfish and short-sighted idiots in the Venture Capital Department...

If he could be given another two hundred years, Leos might have the confidence to slowly take the position of chief elder and spend the rest of his life changing everything - however, there is not much time left for him and the goblins.

.

The wizarding civilization is gradually declining, and magic is slowly dying.

As an Immortal, Leos can clearly foresee that in the next one hundred, two hundred, or perhaps longer, a collision between the non-magical world and the magical world will definitely occur. By that time,

The goblin who controls the common wealth of the two worlds will be the first to be eaten...

War requires profit, and war requires fuel, and goblins - they happen to have both.

The goblins in America saw all this, so they chose to surrender, leaving all their futures to the whims of the bureaucrats at MACUSA. Fortunately, they had a second option...

"Elder Leos, you've been waiting for a long time, shall we set off?"

Two goblins in dark red magic armor came to Leos, nodded respectfully, and said sullenly.

Each goblin holds a scythe stained with black and red traces in his hand. Different from the yellow-green skin of common goblins, the skin of these two goblins is particularly dark, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in their words -

- Black Leopards do exist, but they are not the secret army of stupid wizarding bureaucrats, but the secret executioners of Gringotts.

"Okay, let's go... I also have something to say to my former subordinates and students..."

Leos nodded, showing a cold smile, and a trace of passion flashed in his eyes.

Just like back then, when facing that short Muggle born in Corsica, France, he defied all odds and completed the greatest war investment in Gringotts history, earning nearly a hundred years of profit.

The goblins are still able to stand firm after several rebellions.

And now...

Leos touched the small women's wallet in his arms...

The devil's...contract?
