Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

Professor Venda was being served by the shop assistants when she heard Isaac's words. She turned around, and the shop assistants serving her moved with her without disturbing her movements.

Professor Venda nodded slightly, then began to look Isaac up and down.

She eventually showed an expression of disapproval.

“Look, Dumbledore didn’t even buy you some decent clothes,” Venda called to the man standing beside her. “Tweefit.”

"At your service, Ms. Rozier." Twitchett bowed slightly to Professor Venda with a fawning smile.

“Take measurements for our Mr. Valdoré, and send him the latest styles from your store every quarter.”

These bills were paid by the Rozier family.

“It is our honor, Ms. Rozier.” Twitchett’s smile widened, and she waved her hand.

Suddenly, some more shop assistants appeared out of nowhere and started busying themselves with Isaac.

As for Mr. Twitchett... his eyes clearly showed a mixture of relief and relaxation when he looked at Isaac.

Dude, what's with that look in your eyes...?

Isaac was a little confused, but he could guess the identity of this Mr. Twitchett.

After all, the signboard of the Twilfitt and Tatting's clothing store is "Twilfitt and Tatting's". Since Professor Wenda called that person "Twilfitt", it means that these two names should be the names of the founder of the Twilfitt clothing store.

In other words, Mr. Tweefit is one of the owners of the Tweefit clothing store.

But even though he was the boss, Isaac still couldn't understand why Twitchett was looking at him so strangely.

The reason is actually quite simple: Isaac could "pledge" his bill to Lady Malkin's Robes Shop, and Dumbledore would pay it for him.

Dumbledore's willingness to pay for his "illegitimate son" at Madam Malkin's Robes Shop is such a successful advertisement!

It's fair to say that Dumbledore is the top influencer in the wizarding world, and this influence is evident in every aspect.

Most importantly, a large portion of the customer base of Tuofan Clothing Store can buy clothes at both Madam Malkin's Robes and Tuofan Clothing Store.

With Dumbledore's advertisement, won't the Tuofan Clothing Store lose a lot of business?

If Twitchett were in Muggle society, he'd be the owner of a luxury goods store. And Dumbledore? He'd be considered a political academic and a major military leader.

What can Tevfit do with someone like that? What does he dare to do?

He could only watch helplessly.

Then, just when Tevfite was getting anxious and frustrated, Ms. Rozier from France brought him good news that was like a godsend.

The Rosier family is willing to pay Mr. Isaac Waldore's bill for the Transcendental Clothing Store—regardless of whether the Rosier family or Dumbledore actually paid it.

Anyway, even the esteemed Mr. Valdore can now have his clothes on credit at the Toufan Clothing Store.

Twitchett planned to send someone to Diagon Alley to spread the word that "Torrent Clothing Shop will be making clothes for Mr. Valdore every quarter" after Isaac and Professor Venda left.

As for who paid, he slyly refused to say.

Unlike Twitchett's ecstatic joy, Isaac seemed indifferent. New clothes were certainly nice, but wasn't Mrs. Malkin's also made to order?

It's just that the fabrics used in the clothes at Tuofan Clothing Store look more expensive.

The staff at the Tuofan clothing store worked for almost two hours, and in the end, Isaac changed into a new outfit.

Don't ask why such expensive clothes can be ready in a short time—you magical old tailor, kid!

The shop assistants even thoughtfully gave Isaac a new hairstyle.

Looking in the mirror, Isaac was somewhat speechless. How did you turn my good-natured young Grindelwald into a cocky, slovenly guy?

So Malfoy has always been at the forefront of fashion trends, huh...?

After getting ready, Isaac and Professor Venda walked out of the Tuofan clothing store, where Tweefit warmly saw off the two "ancestors".

Just as they were about to leave, a bright flame suddenly burst out inside the Tuofan Clothing Store.

Then a splash of fiery red appeared on Isaac's shoulder.

"What is that?!" Tweefit exclaimed in shock. If something happened to these two patriarchs in his shop, how could he possibly keep it open?

The next second, the profanity he was about to utter stopped abruptly.

Because a phoenix perched on Isaac's shoulder.

To be honest, Tweefit had never seen a phoenix in his life, but when he saw Fox, he immediately knew that this thing was a phoenix.

Fox brought Isaac a letter from Dumbledore, but he was admiring Isaac's new hairstyle instead.

After two large wings fluttered over Isaac's head, Fox suddenly made a cheerful, crisp sound.

All the shop assistants who heard the phoenix's cry were genuinely happy.

Isaac was somewhat helpless about this. "Fine, fine, Fox doesn't like Grindelwald but likes Draco Malfoy, right?"

You little brat!

Isaac opened Dumbledore's envelope, and a golden key fell out.

There is nothing else besides that.

Dumbledore seemed to know exactly how to communicate with the Prophet—he didn't need to tell Isaac Harry Potter his address or the number of his family's vault.

Because Isaac can "see" for himself.

However, Isaac still needs the key to the Potter family vault, unless he intends to lead the savior of the British wizarding world to rob a wizarding bank.

As for Fox... he was the "legal support" that Dumbledore sent to Isaac.

"Let's go, Professor Wenda, it's time for our next stop."

Isaac gave Fox an address, then grasped Professor Venda's hand. The next second, accompanied by a bright flame, Phoenix, Isaac, and Professor Venda vanished.

"You all saw it just now, right?" Tweefit's voice was hoarse as he spoke to the shop assistant beside him.

"Yes, boss, we saw it all." The shop assistant nodded repeatedly.

“Controlling a phoenix, that’s a skill of the Dumbledore family…” Twitchett swallowed the rest of his sentence; it was not a place to say such things.

He didn't recognize Fox, but he could tell it was a phoenix.

Isaac just now was able to command the phoenix to do his bidding.

Tweefit immediately shut up and even asked other employees to keep quiet.

But gossip can't be stopped by a gag order.

Then the latest "rumors" began to circulate in Diagon Alley.

Mr. Valdore owns a genuine phoenix, and many people have seen it!

At this moment, the shop owners in Diagon Alley suddenly realized something: Dude, we always thought you were a fake when we were gossiping.

But you're actually real?!

Chapter 49 A Salesman's Instinct

Accompanied by the bright flames unique to the phoenix, Isaac and Professor Venda "reappear".

As soon as they landed, Isaac smelled the salty, fishy smell of the sea. The two of them had landed on the rocks in the sea.

Although the coastline is visible, there is not a single "road" leading to it.

This means that the only way for ordinary people to get to this reef is by boat.

Or... helicopter rappelling?

A dilapidated little house stood alone on the reef.

Let's call that thing a "house" for now?

He was certain that this thing would leak air everywhere at night. If it rained heavily outside, it would probably drizzle inside as well.

It's truly remarkable that Vernon Dursley was able to find such a place.

If they had hidden among Muggle people, they might have actually gotten away with it.

Unfortunately, they brought Harry Potter with them as a tracking device.

Unlike Isaac's amazement, Professor Venda seemed somewhat disgusted by the environment.

She even began to doubt Isaac's prophecy—that people could really live in such a horrible place?

“Let’s go, Professor Venda asked us to visit the guests here.” Isaac did not use the term “host.”

Because this place was probably rented by Vernon Dursley as well.

Otherwise, Isaac couldn't imagine why Vernon would have paid to buy such a run-down place unless it had been passed down from his ancestors.

It can't be because Vernon likes wilderness survival, can it?

Judging from his physique, he doesn't seem like someone who likes to go hungry.

Fox circled the reef once, then returned to Isaac's shoulder, without even glancing at Professor Venda beside him.

"Fox, go play for a while. The people we're going to meet later probably don't have the courage to face you directly."

Isaac reached out and scratched the fine down on Fox's neck, after which Fox let out a pleasant chirp and took flight.

After Fox flew high into the air, Isaac walked toward the wooden door of the cabin.
