Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 461 Oh! Isn't this our famous Mr. Li Weide!
Since both parties are willing to cooperate, the rest of the conversation becomes much easier.

After chatting with the minister for a while, Livander was led to the Ministry of Magic's main hall.

There, a crowd had already gathered.

There were reporters, and also wizards who came to offer their congratulations...

Li Weide even saw Grindelwald under the statue.

He smiled and waved at Li Weide.

Li Weide glanced around, and while the Minister of Welfare was speaking, he walked over to him and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why are you here? Didn't you have something to do? You're willing to forgo this credit for it..."

"Do you think I need to do everything myself?" Grindelwald asked with a smile.

"That's true……"

Without a doubt, Grindelwald's plans are now in their later stages, so there's no need for him to take action personally.

Rather, appearing in public at this time would be a better way for him to distance himself from those matters.

"I'm here now not only to show my face and distance myself from you, but also for another purpose," Grindelwald said with a smile.

"What purpose?"

“This press conference was originally intended to make you famous, and I… want to make you even more famous!” Grindelwald said, shrugging.

At this moment, the Minister of Welfare had just finished introducing Li Weide's achievements and displaying the ferocious wolf king's head, causing the crowd below the stage to gasp in astonishment.

"Clap!"

Flashbulbs went off continuously as reporters began photographing the wolf king's head from different angles.

Of course, upon seeing the wolf king's head, it was inevitable that some people would express doubts.

Especially when Grindelwald appeared on the scene.

In fact, rather than the claim that a student killed the werewolf king, people are more inclined to believe that Grindelwald and his sorcerers wiped out the werewolf clan.

At this moment, Grindelwald smiled at Livde and then strode onto the stage.

The welfare minister had originally intended to have Li Weide come up and say a few words, but when he saw Grindelwald come up, he immediately moved a few steps to the side.

Grindelwald raised his hands and looked quietly at the crowd.

Everyone fell silent when they saw Grindelwald about to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you may have doubts about this conclusion, but... we arrived at the scene immediately, so we witnessed that fierce battle firsthand, and we also witnessed Vader's fighting prowess..."

As Grindelwald spoke, he waved to the side.

Vita appeared out of nowhere, holding a skull covered in strange runes...

Li Weide looked at the skull and felt it looked very familiar.

Isn't this the prop he used to create a projection by smoking when he gave a speech at the cemetery?
Sure enough, Grindelwald picked up a tube attached to the skull, put it in his mouth, and took a deep drag...

"call……"

Grindelwald exhaled a puff of smoke in all directions.

Smoke billowed, filling the entire hall with billowing smoke...

Immediately afterwards, a clear scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

In the scene, Li Weide, alone with a magic wand, summons lightning to blast a group of werewolves into chaos.

Looking at the screen above, Li Weide couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This is indeed footage of the last few minutes of his nighttime cleanup of the werewolf clan.

It seems that Grindelwald may have already arrived at the werewolf camp, but he has been hiding nearby and hasn't come out!

Otherwise, how could he have seen such a detailed picture and written it down?

But this guy pretended that he had just arrived, and he did it so convincingly!
Tsk...this old guy's acting skills are really good...

At this moment, gasps of astonishment erupted from the audience below; the shock emanating from that seemingly frail figure was simply too great…

One person, taking on a whole pack of werewolves.

Moreover... when facing the burly wolf king, whose speed was like a ghost, he was actually beheaded in one blow!
“We had just arrived… the sky was filled with lightning, which kept us from getting close. By the time we got near, the battle was already over. These are all our true memories,” Grindelwald said softly.

"Snap! Snap!" The reporters finally snapped out of their daze, and the flashes went off again and again...

No one doubted the authenticity of Grindelwald's image.

Because the last time he used this prop to project an image, it was a prediction of a world war among Muggles!
And now, world war has broken out! Just like the scene Grindelwald depicted!
Therefore, those who had doubts about Li Weide's achievements just now have all their doubts gone.

After all, even if Grindelwald wanted to create a god, he wouldn't randomly pin the credit on a teenager, because it would be completely unnecessary.

In an instant, countless fervent gazes fell upon Li Weide…

A young man who was already sought after by countless pure-blood families and who actively invested in him has now demonstrated exceptional personal abilities.

Only a fool wouldn't want to befriend him!

The Minister of Welfare also stared in astonishment at the image above.

What happened to the promise that they would only rely on their own equipment to wipe out the werewolf clan?
This looks like a one-sided massacre by Li Weide!
It was only at this moment that the Minister of Welfare realized that Li Weide had been being modest with him all along!

What followed was a surge of immense joy...

Based on our interaction just now, Li Weide and Grindelwald are different!

No matter how capable someone is, if all they want is to start their own company and make money, they won't pose as much of a threat as Grindelwald!
Because, like Dumbledore, he doesn't dabble in power! And there's no conflict of interest for him!

But I had already taken the lead over everyone else and established a good working relationship with him!

Oh... not the Malfoys, they just made the right bet!

After Grindelwald finished, he walked off the stage with an air of nonchalance.

"After today, you may become the most famous young man in the wizarding world."

Looking at his smug face, Li Weide felt an urge to slap him with the sole of his shoe.

"Thank you so much..." Li Weide said through gritted teeth.

Grindelwald did help him gain fame, but equally, the news of Grindelwald's "close relationship" with Levi also became known...

If you get involved with this old man, you're bound to run into trouble later.
However, while this will cause Li Weide a lot of inconvenience, it will also be of great help to what he is going to do next.

In this exchange, he used Grindelwald as a pawn, but he was also used as a pawn by Grindelwald, resulting in a draw where both sides got what they wanted. Afterwards, Li Weide went on stage and made a few simple, humble remarks, and the event concluded.

Even after it ended, Li Weide was still unable to leave... He was surrounded by reporters who asked him a bunch of questions before the Minister of Welfare rescued him from a large group of pure-blood family representatives who rushed up to him.

"You're famous now, Wade. If you don't want to be overwhelmed by the crowd, you'd better leave through my ministerial entrance." The welfare minister led Wade to his office with a beaming smile.

Li Weide had no choice but to follow him back to the minister's office.

“That’s a good thing, Wade. The more famous you are, the better! That way, the company you’re starting will have a head start over most people! Don’t worry, I know what aspects the reporters should focus on,” the welfare minister said cheerfully.

“That’s wonderful… Thank you, Minister.” Li Weide smiled.

He knew that the welfare minister wanted reporters to focus on his inventions and improvements, which would be of great benefit to his company!

“You’re too kind, Wade.” The welfare minister then pointed to the fireplace in the office and said, “This is my private fireplace passage. You can leave through this, and your destination and itinerary will be kept completely confidential.”

"Thank you so much, Minister. I'll go back and prepare the plan right away, and try to get the company up and running as soon as possible," Li Weide said tactfully.

“Good…very good!” the welfare minister said happily.

This young man is very smart; he seems to be able to sense what he wants in his heart!

Levi left the Ministry of Magic from the fireplace and appeared in a potions shop owned by the Malfoy family in Diagon Alley.

This shop sells products that Livde entrusted to the Malfoy and Shafiq families for sale.

So much time has passed, and the store sells much more than just the "youth potion" anymore...

Li Weide peeked into the shop and saw it was packed with witches wanting to buy potions...

Meanwhile, old Malfoy sat behind the counter, counting Galleons with a beaming smile.

It has to be said that, regardless of the world, women have strong purchasing power...

Without alerting them, Li Weide activated his ring and teleported back to the moving castle.

"Finally home..." Li Weide took a deep breath.

Compared to the lively crowd, he preferred a quieter environment.

"Oh...isn't this our famous Mr. Li Weide? I'm so sorry I didn't greet you properly...it's just a pity I didn't prepare a bouquet of flowers..." Tom said sarcastically, leaning against the door frame.

"Don't break my door," Li Weide said coldly.

"This door isn't made of paper..." Tom muttered to himself, silently straightening up.

"Are you free right now?" Li Weide asked.

“No… I’m very busy right now,” Tom replied instinctively, quite naturally.

When your boss asks if you have a lot of free time, it's best to say you're very busy...

Otherwise, your workload will have to increase again!
"Alright... Go to the lab and tell them to come up with a plan for me." Li Weide handed over a piece of paper. "Based on these requirements."

Tom took the parchment and discovered that lines of text were slowly appearing on the blank parchment...

What amazing magic... I don't even need to write anymore.

But Tom didn't dare ask any more questions and ran away in a flash.

When Li Weide returned to his room, he saw a cat, a mouse, and a dog lying on the floor flipping through a book...

Upon seeing Li Weide enter, the three men immediately dropped their books and ran over to greet him.

Then, some people served tea, some served fruit, and some moved chairs...

Looking at the three animals in front of him, Li Weide couldn't help but say, "The legend of animals becoming spirits must be referring to animals like you..."

The three men looked at Li Weide with puzzled expressions, not understanding what he meant.

“Never mind, it’s nothing…” Li Weide sat on the recliner and suddenly said, “By the way, now that you have the same intelligence and abilities as humans, I can no longer treat you as pets. Go find Toby, and then in the castle, each of you can choose a house. From today onwards, you are independent individuals. You are my partners…”

The three little ones exchanged surprised glances, then dashed out of Li Weide's house to find Toby.

"Tsk tsk, so impatient. I could have summoned Toby directly for much faster speed..."

Li Weide muttered to himself, took a sip of tea, then put down his teacup and began to plan his next move.

Suddenly, Li Weide heard a familiar voice in his mind...

"Ding! Congratulations, host, the Dark Lord's progress has reached 5%!"

"Hmm?" Li Weide skillfully opened the system panel, glanced at it, and then closed it in disappointment.

The items refreshed by the system were as ordinary as ever, while the merit point balance was currently in a distorted and scrambled state...

This unfinished system malfunctioned when calculating future merit points, no longer displaying the merit points earned by Li Weide for each action, but only slowly adding them...

After Li Weide encountered the parallel world event, the merit point balance screen suddenly went blank...

Li Weide guessed that this was because the unfinished system included the merits he had accumulated in the parallel world in its calculation. Once the parallel world was closed, the system could not recognize them, so its merit point counting function completely collapsed.

After all, he actually snatched the Elder Wand directly from Grindelwald in a parallel universe...

The system must be quite upset about not being able to calculate this merit point.

Thinking about this made Li Weide feel a little down.

It's like playing a single-player game with a cheat engine, only to find that the engine is too old and many important functions malfunction—it's incredibly frustrating...

Li Weide sighed and casually redeemed a bundle of unicorn hair from the system.

With a gentle tap of the wand, the tuft of unicorn hair unfurled and began to weave itself...

……

Today's early edition of The Daily Prophet was delayed by a full two hours.

When the wizards finally got their hands on the newspaper, they were immediately drawn to a picture on the front page.

A young wizard, facing the attack of a terrifying werewolf, calmly and lightly waved his wand, and the werewolf was instantly decapitated. Behind the towering werewolf, massive bolts of lightning struck, blasting a pack of werewolves away...

The photos in the Wizarding World are animated, so... this photo of Levi truly shocked many people...

At the same time, news that Li Weide had single-handedly wiped out an entire werewolf pack and even killed the werewolf king was also successfully spread!
When Li Weide woke up from a nap on the recliner, he found his chair piled high with letters, and his loyal house-elf Toby was still carrying stacks of letters in from outside...

Li Weide stared in shock at the scene, then silently picked up the handkerchief woven from unicorn hair and wiped the sweat from his forehead...

"I guess I'm just lucky I'm not a celebrity," Tom said as he walked in, also carrying a basket of letters...
