Chapter 131 Aren’t You Angry?
The fierce fire raged in the woods like a mad snake, devouring all life.
Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, as if doomsday had come. The trees howled unpleasantly in the sea of fire, and the raging fire turned them to ashes.
The students who escaped were all terrified when they saw this scene.
At the beginning, the students who used the Fierce Fire Curse didn't dare to make a sound and quietly reduced their presence.
Several figures rushed out from above the flames and flew towards the sky. The flames transformed into a huge snake head and bit towards those figures.
The flying brooms of those people flew vertically upwards, and Li Huo bit the corner of the clothes of the last person.
"so cool!"
James exclaimed at the scene, poked Sirius' arm with his elbow and said, "Look, those are students from Durmstrang, their flying skills are amazing."
Students from the other two colleges also escaped, but overall they suffered heavy losses.
All the trees were burned, and the surviving contestants passed the second level directly.
The third level is to reach the other side of the river from the water, where there are water ghosts.
After going through the second level, no one felt that this level was difficult at all.
All those who escaped from the fierce fire curse passed the third level and got the chance to compete the next day.
After seeing the results, several principals fell silent.
Their plan is to screen out weaker students at the first stage.
But there were too many people to be screened. Once the Fierce Fire Curse was cast, it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe, and most of the students were directly swallowed up.
"I think the use of the Fiendish Fire Charm should be banned in the next match," Dumbledore suggested.
No one else raised any objections.
After all, the Fierce Fire Curse is too cheating.
Especially in that environment, there is nowhere to escape.
If there were still students using the Fierce Fire Curse in the next competition, the entire team might be wiped out before reaching the last level.
"Who used the Fiery Curse?"
As soon as the students of Beauxbatons came out, they asked angrily.
Their school had the most people eliminated, and many of them were kicked out while they were still studying the routes.
Among all the contestants, their school has the fewest students and they have no competitiveness at all in the subsequent competitions.
The student who released the Fierce Fire Curse silently shrank his head to reduce his presence.
In the end, he was caught and beaten up.
The other party was wearing a sack and beating people, and it was unclear whether the person was a student from his own school or from another school.
There is very little entertainment in the wizarding world.
Aside from the Quidditch World Cup, there are few tournaments that attract anyone's attention.
This Hero Cup has been featured in all recent newspapers, and users who used the "Second World" bracelet to watch the game gave it rave reviews.
Many people even suggested that a Hero Cup should be held where adults could also participate, and they would definitely buy tickets to attend.
The soaring orders for "Second World" prove how popular this time is.
Jiang Li felt that with this kind of income, it would only be a matter of time before he became the richest man in the wizarding world.
Sure enough, the money went to people who didn't need it.
She obviously doesn't like money, but money always comes to her in various ways.
Jiang Li took a sip of tea and said to Elena who was busy with orders: "Elena, do you understand the pain of making money faster than spending it? I really want to squander my money, but reality doesn't allow me to do so."
Elena: “…” This sounds really annoying.
"this is for you."
Jiang Li handed Elena a new contract. "I was planning to give you a raise after you've worked for me for a while, but something unexpected happened. I think it's still in time now."
Elena took the contract and her eyes widened when she saw the number on it.
Some who didn't believe it watched it several times again.
"Professor Malfoy, is there a mistake in the numbers above? Are you sure you can pay me one thousand Galleons a month as salary?"
"You are not mistaken. You are worth my investment."
Jiang Li smiled at Elena and said, "I think your potential is far more than this. Don't you want to take a look at the contract at the back?"
Hearing this, Elena glanced at the contract below and her mind went blank.
"You want to give me shares in the Second World project?" she said in disbelief.
"Yes, are you happy?" Jiang Li said with a smile.
In fact, this was the result of her careful consideration.
Based on the situation during the years when she disappeared, Elena has put a lot of effort into the operation of the "Second World".
Jiang Li observed Elena and found that she not only had great potential in the research and development of alchemical items, but also had strong comprehensive abilities in other aspects.
Before, Ellis had wanted to obtain the production method of "Second World" from Elena, copy a similar bracelet, and short sell Jiang Li's company.
However, he was discovered by Elena, who designed a plan for the other party to resign voluntarily and took over the position from Ellis. Although his methods were a bit immature, they were still good overall.
Having this kind of means at this age already makes you better than many people.
If you want to keep a capable assistant, you can't just rely on words of favor, you also need visible and tangible benefits.
Jiang Li gave 40% of the shares of "Second World" to Nicolas Flamel and his wife. The two helped her a lot and are still very interested in the research and development of the content of "Second World". She will need their help in the future.
As for Elena, she was given 5% of the shares, and Jiang Li planned to keep the rest for himself and decide based on the situation.
Making money is not a difficult thing for her, so she doesn't care much about it.
Elena was so moved that she couldn't say anything. She didn't expect Jiang Li to think so highly of her. Her eyes became slightly warm.
She looked at Jiang Li and said, "Professor Malfoy, if you break up with Snape in the future, can you consider me?"
Jiang Li:?
Fortunately, Snape is not here, otherwise he would be furious after hearing what Elena said.
"Okay." Jiang Li promised irresponsibly, "If we break up, I can consider it, but we are unlikely to break up."
"It's okay, I can wait for you!" Elena said excitedly.
"What are you waiting for?"
Snape's cold voice rang out, and Jiang Li's scalp went numb.
I turned around and saw Snape standing behind me.
Isn't this a coincidence?
"She said she would date me after you died."
Jiang Li talked nonsense in a serious manner.
Snape looked at Elena and sneered, "You won't have this chance."
He took Jiang Li's hand and left.
Jiang Li followed behind him and watched him stride forward. He could not keep up with him, so he took out his wand and used a spell to trip Snape.
Snape was thinking about something when his feet suddenly left him empty and he fell forward.
The next second, Jiang Li hugged his waist from behind, held him horizontally by his armpits and lifted him up.
"Little fool, what would you do without me?"
She looked at the back of Snape's head with a doting look on her face.
"Gardenia."
Snape gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want your food to contain hair loss potion tomorrow, let go of your hand."
Hearing this, Jiang Li immediately let go and straightened the man.
Snape looked at Jiang Li and said through gritted teeth: "Can't you communicate with me in a normal way?"
"Aren't you angry?"
Jiang Li looked at him with a smile and said, "I've seen couples in Muggle TV shows use this method to calm each other down when they are angry."
"..."
Snape took a few deep breaths, looked at Jiang Li deeply and said, "Don't look at these useless things."
He was going to hit Jiang Li on the head as punishment, but when he saw her gentle blue eyes staring at him, his heart softened a little, and his fist finally felt light when it landed on her head.
