High risk often means high returns, and Rozier Sr. is well aware of this.

What's more, Ivan's strength, potential and wisdom are all in his eyes, this is a business that is sure to make money and not lose money, and it is impossible to repeat the mistakes of the past!

"With these things, let's go back..."

Ivan didn't know what old Rozier was thinking, and after feeling sorry for the disappeared gold gallons, he ordered the wizards who had come with him to empty the money and belongings and prepare to return to the Borgin Bock shop.

Before leaving, Ivan deliberately left a few people to stay here temporarily, and repaired the damaged tables and chairs walls by the way.

This underground chamber is very large, with complete supporting facilities and very secret, which is very suitable for use as a backup base!

By the time Ivan returned to the Borgin Bock store with a full load of wizards, it was already dark.

Ivan gave a speech outside the store in high spirits, honoring those who fought bravely in battle.

Every wizard involved in the battle was happy, and not just because they had just won a big victory, and not a single one had died.

What's more, Ivan generously gave them a bonus to celebrate the victory, and those wizards who were injured in the battle received additional subsidies.

No matter how much Ivan is distressed about the expenses, there will be no ambiguity in this, they have risked their lives to achieve this victory, and they deserve to be rewarded!

After Ivan finished his speech and dispersed the crowd gathered here, Fren walked up quickly and handed over a list and a thick booklet.

"Your Excellency Hals, here is the list of prisoners captured in this battle, and we have found a ledger from the financial room!" Furren spoke.

Ivan nodded, took the two things, and glanced at the list before looking at the ledger.

The names and general information of the captured personnel are recorded on it, as well as those who were killed in the battle.

Excluding a few pure-blood wizards, there were a total of twenty-nine guards in the wizarding market and underground vaults, eleven of them died, and the rest were captured or simply surrendered...

"Why did you arrest so many people?" Seeing this, Ivan turned his head to look at Fren and asked a little strangely.

Although he wanted to reduce the number of killings, he also understood that deaths were inevitable in such a fierce battle, and that most of the enemy personnel should not be captured.

"Except for the Enforcers, the other guards are temporarily recruited by the Wizard Market, and have little loyalty to the Nott family.

When we entered, some of the guards saw that we were too numerous to resist, so they simply dropped their wands and surrendered..."Flon explained.

The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched, and he said that he led a group of wizards who were not very trained to enter the wizard market so easily, and no one died, because the enemy was even more useless...

"Your Excellency Hals, what are you going to do with these captives? They seem to want to take refuge in us—" Furren asked hesitantly.

Ivan hesitated, ready to use the Oblivion Charm to wash away the recent memories of these people, and then let them go.

After all, he doesn't need so many people, and it's not easy to kill them all, let alone stay in prison for rice!

However, Ivan quickly rejected the idea, and most of the captives were Dark wizards from Tumbledown Alley, and the Nott family would not necessarily be as screened as Althea when recruiting people.

This means that among those people, there may be vicious thugs, and if they are released like this, they will disturb the law and order of Tumbledown Alley, and they will need to deal with it themselves.

"Hold them up first, send someone to watch them don't let people escape, interrogate me one by one, I need to know all the details of them, and I can use the truth potion when necessary!" Ivan said to Fren.

He decided to check that there was no need for the thugs to be alive, and that the others would consider whether to let them go depending on the situation.

"By the way, those pure-blood wizards remember to find another place to be imprisoned, especially that Nott, he needs to be locked up in solitary confinement, understand?" Ivan suddenly remembered old Rozier's proposal, and added.

"Yes, Lord Hals!" Flon bowed slightly.

"Shut up those captives, you call Doggett again, I have something to ask him!" Ivan waved his hand and motioned for Fren to leave.

Flon nodded, and after asking a few precautions, he turned and left as instructed.

Ivan put down the list, walked into the inner room of the Boggin Burk, sat by the fire, looked at the ledger of the wizarding market, and gasped after a cursory glance.

"A profit of 700,000 Galleons a year?" Ivan looked at the entries in the ledger and wondered if there was an extra zero on it.

Because no matter how you look at it, that wizard market doesn't look like it can make so much money.

Tumbledown Alley is so poor that you can't scavenge so much oil and water!

However, after Ivan took a closer look, he found that the real profit of the wizard market was smuggling and buying and selling all kinds of contraband!

The scope of business is the whole of European magic!

"No wonder I can make so much... It turns out that these are the businesses! Ivan muttered to himself.

He also found that this ledger was not complete, and a lot of money was not directly written out of the source, most likely some more serious black income, so it was not recorded.

Even so, just what was recorded in the ledger was enough for Forlì, Noether, and the others to be locked up in Azkaban for the rest of their lives.

Of course, under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter if the wizarding market is checked by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, these pure-blood families still have a layer of white gloves to get away with.

They didn't directly manage the wizarding market before, but remotely controlled it behind the scenes by supporting an agent, and there was nothing recorded in the ledger that was unfavorable to them, in a sense it was "clean"!

Coupled with their influence and connections in the wizarding world, it is unlikely that they will go to Azkaban, and it is estimated that they will be pushed out to stand trial, and they will be exonerated by paying a sum of money.

Ivan shook his head and sighed, it seemed that whether it was the Muggle world or the wizarding world, some things were always so similar.

Those pure-blood wizards who are high-sounding gentlemen and superficial gentlemen may be secretly doing something shady, and you can't do anything about them, because they are the best at exploiting the loopholes of the law...

"No, my 500,000 Galleons, how did it become 50,000!" Ivan suddenly realized that the bastard old Rozier might have deceived himself, the wizarding market is so profitable, even if it has only been in operation for half a year this year, it will be more than 50,000 Galleons!

But when he angrily flipped to the last few pages of the ledger, he was dumbfounded, and the amount displayed on the ledger was really only so much.

In the first half of this year, due to the impact of this small war, they did not make a few big business orders at all, and the income of the wizarding market naturally plummeted.

Even the agent who was full of sin was killed by Althea, and if it weren't for this, these pure-blood wizard families wouldn't have to do it themselves.

Fortunately, the general plate of the wizard market is still there, as long as it is rectified and continues to operate, it will not be long before it can recover its previous income.

500,000 Galleons a year, and from today onwards, he is considered a rich man in the wizarding world...

Ivan was a little happy when he thought about it!

However, realizing that this is all gray income, Ivan is a little hesitant, he thinks he is a good wizard who abides by the law, although sometimes he is forced to cross the line "slightly", but this does not prevent him from being a good person!

Ivan flipped through the ledger and finally merged, he felt that it was necessary to make some rectification of the business in the wizarding market, and some dirty work that was too bad would be done!

Instead, he could use the wizarding market to sell the alchemy items and potions he made all over Europe, and his income would not decrease, but it might increase a lot!

As for some of the smuggling work, this may help him get some rare magical creatures that will make it easier for him to collect blood!

For example, five years ago, the Wizard Market bought a young bird snake and eventually sold it to an anonymous old witch, the specific price was not recorded on the books, and it was impossible to think of it as cheap...

It is worth mentioning that the Dementors bought by the Doggets were also obtained by the wizarding market, and he was able to successfully train into a god-calling guard, which is really thanks to this black market.

Click...

While Ivan was thinking about it, the door to Bogginbock's store was opened, but it was Doggett who walked in from the outside.

"Little Ivan, I just heard from Fren that you are looking for me?" Doggett said with a smile that although Ivan's identity is different now, he still wants to maintain this close relationship in private.

"Well, I have something I want to ask," Ivan asked, tossing the ledger aside in his hand. How much do you know about those wizarding families? ”

Doggett was stunned for a moment, and then explained to Ivan in detail.

He has a wide network in the wizarding world, and he has also investigated these wizarding families because of the conflict with the wizarding market before, so he knows very well.

The first is the leading Nott family, whom Doggett suspects of extreme pure-bloodish tendencies.

Because several of the elder Noether's siblings had joined the Death Eaters more than a decade earlier, and had a good relationship with another pure-blooded Black family.

Not long after Voldemort's debut, Old Knott also funded Voldemort with some funds.

In the end, it is needless to say that it was a loss-making transaction, which directly caused the Nott family, which was originally very prestigious in the wizarding world, to weaken all of a sudden.

After the death of Rhys Knott, the direct members of the family were left with only Old Knott.

"In short, the Noether family is the real manager behind the wizarding market, accounting for at least half of the share, and the old Noether is also the most involved in daily operations!"

Doggett explained to Ivan, and after talking about the Noether family, he went on to pick out the details of the three pure-blood families of Foley, Rozier, and Rohr.

These families are not big or small, in addition to the wizarding market, they also have their own industries, they have a certain influence in the wizarding world, they are relatively neutral families, and rarely intervene in disputes.

According to Doggett, they remain neutral and only want to be on the side of the victors!

The Parkinsons' family has a certain pure-blood tendency and is relatively conservative, usually betting on both sides, they once supported Voldemort's pure-blood policy, but they did not contribute money, so Voldemort did not lose much when he fell.

"The Abbot family is a little different, they are pure-bloods, yes, but they are closer to Muggles, and I heard that there is also an investment in Muggle industry in London, well... I've heard that the Leaky Cauldron has something to do with the Abbott family! ”

Doggett shook out everything he knew, and then commented. "It's a relatively law-abiding family!"

"Are you sure!" Ivan tapped his hand on the ledger on the table.

If that's the case, then why should they be one of the founding families of the wizarding market, where they are all engaged in shady and even illegal business.

"I mean, at least in recent generations!" Doggett shrugged.

The wizarding market was established a long time ago, and the concept of the family is likely to change from generation to generation.

It's true that the Abbot family is more law-abiding, but they are not stupid, so why don't they make money if they have money?

Anyway, there are agents here, they won't dirty their hands, they just turn a blind eye and get dividends every year...

Hearing Doggett say this, Ivan suddenly became enlightened, and he no longer knew anything about these six pure-blood wizard families.

It's just that he still hasn't figured out what old Rozier wants to do, Ivan looked at Doggett and suddenly said. "Rozier just wanted to intercede with Forlì... I beg me to let them go! Except for old Nott..."

"Rozier?" Doggett raised an eyebrow, first pondering for a moment, then sneering. "He must be thinking of pulling up a group of people to improve his status!"

Speaking of which, Doggett was also a little anxious, the resources and money possessed by the five pure-blood families should not be underestimated!

If Rozier really convinces them to join the faction and become the new leader, then this guy's importance will skyrocket, and his status may catch up with him, which is not good!

Ivan tapped lightly on the table, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he had already understood the way to deal with brain monsters, that is, to use one brain monster to deal with another brain monster!

As long as there are enough brain monsters, there are contradictions with each other, and there is no collusion with each other, and the questions are a little more clever, he can immediately know what these people are making up in their brains.

There will be no more embarrassing scenes like before, when he didn't do anything, but someone ran to him to ask for credit, saying that the things arranged last time had been done.

has experienced a lot of this kind of thing, and no matter how good his acting skills are, he will be goofed one day...

Thinking so, Ivan was a little difficult to judge whether to agree to old Rozier's plea, so he looked at Doggett again and asked.

"Do you think old Rozier has the ability?"

Thanks Hiro. Yuri's 10,000 starting coins, Chhleo's 1,000 starting coins, and the 100 starting coins that the house never ends.
