Gray found it hard to believe that this person was the one who had replaced Voldemort, suppressed Dumbledore, and repeatedly racked up points in the cycle.

"You seem surprised?"

As if sensing Gray's surprise, Edward interlaced his long fingers and gently placed them on his knees.

"It's not that I'm surprised, but your image is a bit different from what I expected."

What are your expectations?

Edward asked a question, and Gray shook his head, hesitatingly replying:

"I thought you should be cunning and shrewd, speaking with a hint of treachery, rather than acting like a nobleman!"

"is it?"

Under Edward's mask, Grey couldn't see his expression, but from his voice, he could tell that Edward was very happy.

Edward Ford, his long, slender fingers tapping rhythmically together, began to speak:

“A person with deep cunning will not show it on their face. If there is such a person, it means that they are not mature yet and will only be resisted by others.”

I've faced many dangers in the nightmare realm and witnessed many battles; they all seemed relatively easy to get along with, at least on the surface!

"And you, you seem easy to get along with on the surface, but behind the scenes..."

"No.."

Edward shook his finger in protest:

"I'm easy to get along with because I'm a businessman, a businessman who pursues profit, so I can be friends with anyone!"

fairy tail world,

Leon watched their conversation through the Window of the Soul. After all, it concerned another god, so Leon personally oversaw Gray's reincarnation mission.

"A businessman... Edward Ford... the Ford family?"

Leon hesitated for a moment; he remembered...

Between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the United States experienced unprecedented development under the leadership of a group of people.

These people were the darlings of their time; their names were... John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Vanderbilt, JP Morgan, and Henry Ford...

At first, when Leon heard the name Edward Ford, he didn't think much of it.

Hearing the other person identify himself as a merchant and speak in a manner similar to that of a nobleman, Leon felt that the other person might have a familiar background...

Leon found it intriguing; he hadn't expected the main god to be so interesting, actually including an Earthling in the Reincarnator series. He wondered what the god's true intentions were.

After all, compared to some anime characters, real-life Earthlings are far too weak.

Leon then continued to have Gray ask questions in the name of the supreme god.

"The Ford family."

Gray murmured softly.

Have you heard of the Ford family?

Edward Ford clapped his hands and laughed, "You see, we already have a foundation for cooperation. Good cooperation is the cornerstone of progress."

"Mr. Gray, the good foundation for cooperation is because we know each other; time is not an issue!"

Seeing Gray's reaction, Edward also offered an explanation.

Upon hearing this explanation, Gray remained silent, while Leon nodded slightly.

As someone once said, if you toss a coin into the air, heads up is one world, and tails down is another.

As time progresses, with each passing second, a new world separates and forms a separate world.

In countless parallel universes, countless possibilities are possible, and there are countless pasts and futures.

This theory forms the basis of many time-travel novels, and although it may be hard to believe, it is an undeniable fact.

Leon sighed; for him, time travel was also a new beginning.

The Harry Potter world.

After a long while, Gray slowly raised his head and asked Edward, "Mr. Edward, why are you telling me all this?"

"Cooperation? I'm a businessman, and everyone has value in my eyes."

Edward adopted a serious tone and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"In my eyes, you are a high-quality stock; once I invest in you, it's worth holding for the long term."

Chapter 288, The Little Wooden House, The Old Man with the White Beard. (First Update)

"You want to invest in me?"

Gray was somewhat interested in this novel topic and asked in return, "Tell me, what kind of investment are you referring to?"

Although Edward appears friendly, anyone who truly believes him to be a kind person is absolutely insane, given his powerful background in the Nightmare Realm.

Gray was very clear-headed at this moment. His mind was racing as he analyzed Edward's purpose and what kind of price would be required for such an investment.

"In the Nightmare Space, there is a follower contract."

"Follower contract?"

"Yes, if you choose to follow me, I will invest in you and make you a demigod in the shortest possible time!"

Edward spoke casually, but Gray's face darkened completely.

Follower contract, what is that? Is it a contract of servitude?

Gray knew Edward had a big appetite, but he didn't expect it to be this big. Sure enough, capitalists are all black-hearted.

"Edward, are you sure you're not joking?"

Gray's face was icy as he asked Edward.

"joke?"

Edward gracefully shook his finger and smiled:

"No, I never joke. Although I don't know how you came into this world, you should know that I am the one in charge now. Besides, I am a businessman, and I can be friends with anyone, except for one type of person."

As their eyes met, Edward spoke slowly and deliberately, "You don't want to become my enemy, do you?"

At this point, Gray realized that Edward thought he had him cornered.

The reincarnators in this nightmare space, though claiming to be businessmen, are actually power-hungry in secret.

“Mr. Edward, I am very interested in your proposal. I have decided... Dragon Slayer Secret Technique - Ice Dragon Steel Wing Slash!”

On the surface, Gray showed a look of joy, but secretly he slashed downwards with his right hand, unleashing a burst of cold air that caused the void to tremble. A deadly Dragon's Might Ice Blade slashed toward Edward.

The next second, before Edward could make a move, Gray pulled Hermione aside and disappeared from the spot.

If negotiations fail and a fight is unsuccessful, then the best course of action is to retreat.

Fortunately, Edward was a proud man and didn't start a fight right away.

Otherwise, even if Grey managed to escape on his own, Hermione would definitely be dead today.

Gray's face was somewhat bitter. He didn't know if Dumbledore and Grindelwald were delayed by something or if they couldn't find his exact location.

However, he was certain that if Dumbledore and his companion did not appear in another ten minutes, he would be stopped by them.

"I can't use magic anymore, or I'll run out of magic!"

The next moment, he took Hermione with him, using levitation to envelop their bodies, and rushed into the depths of the forest.

"Cover up traces...leave no trace...silence...isolate the presence..."

As he traveled, Grey unleashed a series of auxiliary spells from the Harry Potter world.

However, he still couldn't guarantee whether these things would be effective in front of Edward, a demigod.

"Big brother, did we escape?" Hermione tugged at Gray's sleeve, looking back and forth constantly, afraid that he might suddenly appear from somewhere.

Grey shook his head slightly, pulling Hermione deeper into the jungle, not daring to linger in any one place.

In the silent forest, everything was quiet.

Gray held a slip of paper in his hand; it was a magical slip of paper given to him by Dumbledore, capable of instantly revealing their conversation.

At this moment, only one sentence kept repeating on the note: delay.

"If we can get through this."

Gray put the note in his pocket, mentally giving Dumbledore a bad review for his inefficiency.

From the moment they headed to the Paris Opera until Grey took Hermione away, it took at least an hour.

Why hasn't Dumbledore shown up for so long? Could something have happened to him?

"Brother, look, there's a small house over there."

Hermione tugged at Grey's sleeve twice.

He looked up into the distance and saw a small wooden house, but he didn't know what it was used for.

"Don't go there! The cabin is too conspicuous. If we go there, we'll expose ourselves to his gaze!"
