Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.
Chapter 300: You mean, everything I grab is mine? And there’s such a good thing!
Chapter 300: You mean, everything I grab is mine? And there’s such a good thing!
"No! No! Five Galleons is absolutely not an option!" said Mr Borgin angrily.
To be honest, he would also bargain down prices like crazy when buying things...but this guy in front of him!
He obviously looks so rich, but when it comes to bargaining, he is even more ruthless than when I buy things myself!
Mr. Borgin began to wonder if he had run into someone of his kind.
"But your disappearing cabinet has lost its function. It's useless for me to buy it back." Li Weide said with regret.
Mr. Borgin patiently explained, "It's not completely useless, sir. First of all, the craftsmanship of this Vanishing Cabinet is exquisite, and it's very old! Even if it were just an ordinary antique cabinet, it wouldn't be worth only five Galleons! Secondly, look at the pattern, the paint... it's a true work of art! Moreover, although we can't find the other Vanishing Cabinet yet, you can't deny that there must be a connection between them, right? If one day you find another one based on this connection, you'll make a fortune!"
In fact, if it was just an ordinary visitor, Mr. Borgin would never have wasted his time talking to him.
But when Li Weide walked in, he showed his strength - he patted his bulging wallet!
There are so many gold Galleons. Mr. Borgin feels that if he can only take out five gold Galleons today... he won't be able to sleep tonight!
Besides, the purchase price of the Vanishing Cabinet is more than the price of hardware Galleons!
Li Weide pretended to ponder for a moment before hesitantly asking, "So how much are you going to ask? I'm telling you, if you want another 500 gold Galleons, I'll turn around and leave right now!"
Mr. Bogin hesitated for a moment. He knew that if it was a pair of disappearing cabinets, five hundred yuan per cabinet would not be expensive.
But the problem is, he only has one...
"Four hundred?"
"You're taking advantage of me, Mr. Manager..."
"You can lower the price gradually," grinned Mr. Borgin.
"Fifty."
"Add a little more, three hundred and fifty?"
"Fifty."
"three hundred?"
"Fifty."
……
Mr. Borgin's forehead was already beginning to sweat.
In fact, a single Vanishing Cabinet is not easy to sell... Only collectors who are not short of gold Galleons may be interested in this thing.
However, there aren't many collectors like that... and they certainly won't casually step into Knockturn Alley.
Besides, selling it for fifty gold galleons was actually a lot of profit for Mr. Borgin.
He keeps bidding now, just hoping to earn more.
Li Weide also saw through this, so no matter how much Mr. Borgin bid, he only insisted on fifty gold galleons.
Anyway, Mr. Bogin didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to sell the things, so why was he in such a hurry?
"Your chest of drawers costs fifty gold galleons. I'm really in a difficult position..." Mr. Borgin's face wrinkled into a knot. "Would you at least add a little?"
Li Weide touched his chin, then smiled and said, "You know, as a work of art, although it's old enough, it lacks some heritage... Therefore, after losing its practicality, its maximum price can only be sixty gold galleons."
"Ah? What do you mean by background..." asked Mr. Borgin.
Livid smiled and said, "If you can prove that it once belonged to a famous person, for example... Slytherin's cupboard or something, then it can be sold for a hundred gold Galleons."
Mr. Borgin's eyes widened. "You can do that? I've learned it! I'll do it the same way next time I sell something!"
"How about you add a little more?" Mr. Borgin made a final effort.
"This is my first time in England. Since I've found my way into your shop, it's fate. Sixty gold galleons will do... However, I have a small request. You just need to sell me one more piece of information."
Mr. Bogin was pleasantly surprised. He originally thought that he could only sell it for fifty gold Galleons, but now he unexpectedly made an extra ten gold Galleons!
"What news is worth ten gold Galleons?"
However, although Mr. Bogin was happy, he was still very cautious.
"It's not that this news is worth ten gold Galleons. It's just something I just remembered... Like I said earlier, this is my first time in the UK, and I plan to develop in the UK in the future... So, I need a place to stay. It's best to be in Knockturn Alley... The fact that you can open such a big store in Knockturn Alley proves that you are not a simple person. I guess this request is not difficult for you, right?" Li Weide asked with a smile.
Mr. Borgin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Ten gold Galleons in exchange for a piece of news, he had thought it was dangerous! In the end, it was just a matter of finding a place to stay!
However, he finally figured it out. Only someone who plans to develop in another country would carry so many gold galleons with him at all times, right?
Maybe he came to Knockturn Alley today just to find a place, so he came to his store to buy something.
"I see... but do you want to buy a shop in Knockturn Alley? Or a place to live?" Mr. Borgin asked again with some caution.
Mr. Bogin was alert now because he knew that this middle-aged man seemed to be an knowledgeable person. If he opened a store like his own in Knockturn Alley... wouldn't it be troublesome for him to find a place for him?
If that's the case, he might as well not sell the Vanishing Cabinet!
"I'm looking for a place to live. Preferably one that's a little bigger." Li Weide said with a smile.
"Haha, yes! Yes! No need to look for anyone else, I just happen to have an old house in Knockturn Alley!" Mr. Borgin laughed happily.
Since it wasn't about opening a store, he felt relieved.
Moreover, since it was about buying a house, he was fully confident that he could transfer all the bulging Galleons of the middle-aged man in front of him into his own wallet today!
"That's great. If that's the case, would you mind taking me to see it?"
"Of course! I haven't asked yet, what's your name, sir?"
Lee Wade blurted out, "John...John Wick."
The house that Mr. Borgin showed Lewd was at the end of Knockturn Alley.
In Li Weide's opinion, this house is not small. It is over a hundred square meters and has two floors.
But... the situation inside doesn't look good...
As soon as the door was opened, a bunch of vixens flew out and almost hit Mr. Borgin in the face.
Dilapidated... decayed...
This was Li Weide’s first impression of the house.
"Um... no one has been here for a long time, so the house may look a bit messy." Mr. Borgin smiled awkwardly.
"Then these two pools of blood are..." Li Weide said, pointing to the two very obvious black stains on the empty ground on the first floor.
"Oh... the previous owner was sought out by his enemies, and both were injured. In the end, they both lay bleeding to death... It was not discovered until half a year later. You know... this is Knockturn Alley." Mr. Borgin shrugged.
"Half a year?" Li Weide's face darkened.
"In fact, if the former owner hadn't owed me some money, and I'm here to collect it, I'm afraid no one would have discovered it until now," said Mr. Borgin.
"No wonder this house fell into your hands." Li Weide said.
"The houses in Knockturn Alley are like that... They're different from the houses and shops in Diagon Alley. The houses and shops out there have titles and things like that. But the houses in Knockturn Alley... They belong to whoever gets them. There's no such thing as a title," Mr. Borgin said casually.
But Li Weide heard the warning in his words.
First, under such cruel rules, the house is still in Mr. Borgin's hands, which proves that no one dares to steal his things and shows his strength.
The second thing is to let Levid know the rules of Knockturn Alley... If you don’t have the strength, don’t stay in Knockturn Alley, and... I, Borgin, am not afraid that you will steal my things!
Originally, Mr. Bogin thought that Mr. Wick would back down or become alert.
But unexpectedly, he saw an extremely happy expression on Mr. Wick's face at this moment...
"You just said... as long as I get it, it will be mine, right?" Li Weide said with a smile.
"Of... of course..." Mr. Borgin felt the air around him suddenly become a little cold.
"Is this rule limited to houses?" Li Weide asked hopefully.
"This... of course it's not anything!" Mr. Bogin said this and couldn't help but glance at the place where Li Weide hid the purse.
Only this John Wick looks tough, otherwise...
"So, this anything includes people?" Li Weide grinned.
"Of course... but... you still want to rob people?" Mr. Borgin couldn't help but take two steps back and wrapped his wizard robe tightly.
It was a hot day, but Mr. Borgin felt the air around him grow colder.
"Ha, don't worry, Mr. Bogin, I'm not interested in you." Li Weide turned his head and continued to look at the house in front of him.
As Li Weide's gaze shifted away, Mr. Bogin suddenly felt that the feeling of being on edge disappeared without a trace.
Mr. Borgin couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead...
By now, if he still couldn't see how powerful the man in front of him was, then he wouldn't be able to open a store in Knockturn Alley.
In this regard, his intuition has never been wrong!
"So...are you satisfied with this house?" Mr. Bogin's voice couldn't help but become a little flattering.
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Li Weide said with a smile.
"How about... two... two hundred gold Galleons?"
Mr. Borgin had originally intended to offer his customary price of two thousand Galleons.
But after exchanging a glance with Mr. Wick, he immediately changed the two thousand to two hundred...
Because he intuitively felt a fatal threat!
"Two hundred? So cheap?" Li Weide looked at Mr. Bogin with some surprise.
"Ahem, let's be friends..." Mr. Borgin forced a smile.
"Very good, since you give me face, I will pay for it." Li Weide said with a smile.
Mr. Bogin was surprised. In other words, if he had not given him face, would he really dare to rob him?
After the transaction was completed, Mr. Bogin stood at the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards his store.
This guy must be crazy! I was actually thinking of robbing him just now? This is too risky!
Mr. Bogin had not gone far when he heard someone kicking at the door behind him.
He turned around and saw Mr. Wick kicking open his neighbor's door.
"Open the door! Robbery!"
Mr. Borgin turned his head silently. "I knew he was a madman..."
