The man behind Hogwarts

Chapter 274 Illegitimate child?

Seeing Madam Selani's performance, Malzahar raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

I thought how great it was.

That's it?

There are too many traces of acting, Mrs. Seranne.

Suddenly, Malzahar lost interest in continuing to play. In the final analysis, what he is pursuing now is magical strength. The ultimate goal is to gather great power into one body, rather than spending time and energy on money, fame and fortune. Of course, he also admitted that he did have an unknown impulse just now.

Although this body is only a teenager.

But the soul has already matured.

But in the end, reason overrides impulse.

"Stop crying, just don't go and confront them." Malzahar said calmly.

"Really?"

Malzahar nodded, not bothering to answer again.

"This room is my bedroom, right? I made a note of it, let's go." He casually looked around the room, opened the door and prepared to go downstairs. He had other plans today.

As for this bedroom? Perhaps it will only be used during the few days when Ilvermorny is admitted to school.

Selani straightened her messy long skirt, glanced at Malzahar, and saw that he was looking at her intently.

I didn't look carefully before.

Now take a bold look.

I found that this cheap nephew was born with a handsome appearance, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a majestic appearance. Even though he is still young, he already has some charm, especially his eyes, which are neither crooked nor evil, from the inside out. She exudes a trustworthy aura, even though she has some lingering thoughts.

"Let's go...I'll show you the manor."

After walking a few steps, Selani suddenly remembered that her goal had not been achieved yet.

He stared at Malzahar, he really didn't look like a teenager... As he thought about it, his heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?" Malzaha felt something and asked casually.

"No, it's nothing..." Selani bit her lip and whispered softly: "I don't understand why my father would hand over the cloth factory to you. I have several businesses under my name, how about I trade the cloth factory with you?"

"Cloth Changing Factory..."

Malzahar pondered slightly, this was her true purpose, and it was only thanks to her taking such a big detour that she came out with it.

But compared to her two brothers, she is much stronger.

First, he pretended to be a peacemaker, getting in front of Sunwell and Ed, and was able to gain the trust of old Rodriguez.

Then he approached him privately to run a cloth factory.

Every move has hidden thoughts.

Revealing Sunwell's dirty thoughts and provoking conflicts; emphasizing that she is the only relative in the manor to show goodwill; and finally stating the purpose tactfully, achieving the goal in one step.

Well, Malzahar wronged her.

Her rank is at least gold level!

"Malzahar, although the cloth factory is the most profitable, managing and operating it is also the most labor-intensive."

"I can see that you don't like these, why not choose a few easy industries."

Seeing that he was still silent, Selani continued: "I manage an orphanage under my name, and I can give it to you too. Since you lived in an orphanage before, you must have had a lot of personal experience. With it, you can let go Realizing ideas from the past.”

"...Sounds great...but I refuse."

Malzahar said no more, left her behind and went downstairs.

After greeting old Rodriguez, he left the manor. At this time, there was a car waiting at the door of the manor.

Before he could open the door, the person in the passenger seat got out.

"Your Excellency Void." Margaret opened the back seat and respectfully guided Malzahar into the car.

"The laboratory has recruited twenty scientific researchers, including five core staff. Do you want to meet them?"

"Then go to the laboratory." Malzahar said softly.

"Yes."

……

In Rodriguez Manor, Sunwell and others were shocked.

Watch Malzahar leave in the car.

The manor suddenly became quieter.

They each looked at each other, always feeling that today's events were strange, especially the sudden arrival of this clan member...

All kinds of behaviors reveal something extraordinary.

Ed sat on his seat, whispered a few words to his wife, and then lowered his head in silence.

He is not stupid.

Before Rodriguez's decline, he was once regarded as the most outstanding one among the siblings. Many of the family's properties were managed by him.

And Sunwell? Although he manages the largest cloth factory, the company's profits are decreasing day by day, and it is obvious that there is something wrong with his operation.

Until the family declined and prospered again.

Rodriguez Sr. suddenly took out a large sum of cash and changed his decadent style. He first took back the business and turned the tide; then he opened up relationships and restored the family's status in the upper class; finally he recalled his three children and reunited in Luo. Under the Driggs family crest.

Ed thought his father had a plan.

But after meeting Malzahar today, he suddenly realized that... there might be something else hidden.

He knew the woman who just picked up Malzahar. She had cooperated in business before, so he knew how powerful she was.

But that person was like a maid in front of Malzahar.

What is his identity?

Is it really what my father said?

"What's going on here?"

Selani walked downstairs slowly and asked casually.

Old Rodriguez had already left, and there were only descendants in the hall at this time. Hearing her question, Sunwell sighed heavily.

He waved his hand and told everyone else to leave, leaving the three siblings alone.

"Selanie, do you know who Malzahar is?"

"Huh? Aren't you the orphan from your cousin's side?" Selani was a little confused and looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"No, it's definitely not that simple!"

Senwell frowned and said in a deep voice: "You didn't see just now that Malzahar was picked up by Molson's eldest daughter, and in a very humble position... just like a maid in the manor, and Malzaha Haha looked calm and at ease.

Tell me, is this normal? "

"I'll add something,"

Ed continued: "About the cloth factory, it's also unusual..."

"The most important industry in the family is the cloth factory. Even when the family declined, the cloth factory was never handed over to outsiders. But today, my father suddenly handed over the cloth factory to him? Why? It's really just because my grandfather cares about his grandson. love?

Is it really that simple?

Anyway, I don’t believe it! "

After hearing what he said, the two calmed down, analyzed it a little, and immediately had the same question.

Yup!

why?

Senwell whispered: "Do you think Malzahar is the old man's illegitimate son?"

"Nonsense!" Ed refuted loudly, "My father is already so old, how could he still be... Don't be disrespectful to your father!"

"Why are you so anxious? Did I say he was a son? I meant, an illegitimate child."

"...Well, this is too..."

Ed stammered and was speechless.

Recalling my father's life style when he was young, it seems very possible.

Could it be that his father felt that the three of him were useless and wanted to change his number? So bring Malzahar back from the orphanage?

As for Molson's eldest daughter, maybe it's because her father is paving the way for her?

There's something about it.

The more I think about it, the more I doubt it; the more I doubt it, the more certain I am.

As the two brothers spoke, many family dramas with twists and turns were already playing out in their minds.

On the other side of the sofa, Seranne finally understood.

"I think you guys are thinking too much."

She frowned and said: "Even if father is dissatisfied with you, he will never find someone from the orphanage to inherit the family business, especially at his grade..."

The old man's hair has turned white.

It seems unreliable to find a teenage child to inherit the family business.

"Even if my father is dissatisfied with you, eldest brother, there is still a second brother. Everyone knows what the second brother is capable of."

"Selanie, what do you mean?"

Senwell looked unhappy and glared at Selanie.

Although this is true, it would be too rude of you to say it!

"Uh..." Selani waved her hands awkwardly and said, "Don't be angry, I mean my father wouldn't do this."

"Hmph!!" Senwell crossed his arms.

Ed said with a smile: "I have an idea. Just ask a private detective to investigate."

"Do you have anything to do with it?" They both looked at him.

"I know a great detective. As long as he takes action, he can definitely figure out the inside story. But I'm worried, will this offend my father?"

"Yes, my father values ​​Malzahar very much." Selani was a little worried.

Senwell said seriously: "Even if it offends father, we must do this. Don't forget the cloth factory..."

Then, he looked at Ed and said, "You also ask the great detective to keep it confidential as much as possible."

"Okay, leave it to me."

"By the way, what's the name of that great detective?"

"Pio Tver!"

……

Cars drive down the street, leaving a faint cloud of dust in their wake.

Finally, we stopped by a river running through the city.

The scenery on both sides of the river is very good, with sparse and suitable ornamental trees and green lawns covering the entire river bank. Next to it are the companies and laboratories under Malzaha's name.

Stepping out of the car, I looked up and saw two light signs.

Baofeng Technology Company.

Void Technology Research Laboratory.

"How is the company's recent development?" Malzahar asked as he walked.

"The company's overall organizational structure has been completed, and the core personnel are fully prepared. The remaining personnel gaps can be filled slowly. There is no surplus in the company's accounts yet, and the account funds all come from Molson's capital injection."

"Very good." Malzahar nodded in approval, "Let's put on some airs first, and then start production and sales as soon as the products from the laboratory come out."

Margaret said: "What exactly is the product that the laboratory is going to study? Does it really have the kind of prospects you said?"

Malzahar said: "It will subvert your cognition."

During the chat, enter the laboratory.

A young girl walked over quickly holding a folder.

"Boss, welcome to inspect the laboratory. I am the general manager's secretary. I have made arrangements for you. Please come with me."

"Okay, you lead the way."

Margaret leaned into his ear and said, "How about it? My secretary is pretty good, do you want me to give it to you?"

"Too green." Malzahar shook his head.

"...So you like mature ones!"

"What are you thinking about? I mean the secretary should be more mature and steady so that he can handle the chores for the boss."

"Really?" Margaret was doubtful.

Malzahar said nothing and glared at her. Perhaps it was the aftermath of the last dragon-riding incident, but Margaret visibly relaxed in front of him...

The advantage is that the two of them feel more comfortable together.

The bad thing is that she's getting bolder.

From time to time, she would suddenly test Malzahar's opinion, or run away after teasing her. She didn't seem to regard Malzahar's age as a problem.

Ok?

Malzahar suddenly thought of a question.

He seems to have never told Margaret his age?

Looking down at his height, he saw that he was about 1.7 meters tall, and he was neither fat nor thin. He knows his appearance without looking in the mirror. Maybe no one would doubt him if he said he was eighteen years old...

All right. Foreigners or not, most of them are like this.

Under the guidance of the young secretary, the group walked through the flower bed in the building and officially arrived at the laboratory.

The building outside is Baofeng Technology Company, and this part inside officially belongs to the laboratory, and there is an obvious barrier between the two, prohibiting mutual movement.

"What about the security force?"

Malzahar asked.

"Baofeng Technology currently has seven security guards. There are three teams in the laboratory, each with nine people. They are all retired from the army and have specially taken security courses."

The young secretary turned sideways to face Malzahar and answered his questions in a clear and crisp voice.

There happened to be a team patrolling at the entrance of the laboratory. The secretary could also call the security team leader by name and called him over to introduce Malzahar.

"Yes, yes, what's your name?"

Malzahar then asked the secretary's name.

"You can call me Camille, boss."

As soon as they entered the laboratory, they saw twenty people waiting in the hall, a few of them were old men, and the rest were young adults.

"Everyone!!"

Camille clapped her hands and said: "This is the big boss of the Void Technology Laboratory, Mr. Malzahar Void. He is also the big boss of Storm Technology. Everyone applauds to welcome Mr. Void to inspect."

clap clap~

The researchers applauded and looked at Malzahar with curious eyes.

The first impression is youth.

Unexpectedly young, he looks no more than twenty years old, but his eyes are very deep, making people feel that he may be more mature.

It’s terrifying to have such a big industry at such a young age!

The second is that the momentum is very strong.

Malzahar just stood there and scanned them, and the researchers unconsciously restrained their voices and kept their breathing as low as possible.

Everyone who was swept by his gaze trembled.

A leading baldness research institute has this feeling.

When Malzahar looked at him, he felt like he had turned into a little white rabbit, and Malzahar was like a creature at the top of the food chain, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

The researchers remained silent, their faces gradually turning pale.

Camille looked at everyone's embarrassed performance and frowned fiercely. They have clearly emphasized repeatedly that they must leave a good impression on the boss, but what kind of performance are they doing? Could it be that they have collective diarrhea?

And Margaret knew it.

He must be using magical magic!
