I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

More than the loss of the Malfoy family's centuries-old fortune, Lucius was now filled with fear.

Despite being completely betrayed by Li Lin, Lucius dared not harbor the slightest resentment. From the moment he returned disguised as Voldemort and released the Dark Mark, he had already been bound to Grindelwald's ship.

It was through his involvement in part of the operation that Lucius learned that the vast majority of this economic war actually had nothing to do with Grindelwald, but was orchestrated by the man who called himself Aatrox.

The current situation is far more brutal than during Voldemort's time. Back then, Voldemort killed countless people, but at least he didn't bring down the status of pure-blood families.

When pure-blood families lose their prized possessions, how can they still be considered noble?

"In any case, we have been exhausted by Grindelwald's schemes... The news of Gringotts' collapse can no longer be kept secret, the Ministry of Magic's prestige has been tarnished, and I will sign my resignation the day after tomorrow."

Cornelius Fudge staggered to his feet, his desolate figure disappearing into the magic elevator.

"So, what should we do now?" a pure-blood wizard asked blankly.

Lucius turned and left without a word; he needed to write to Li Lin immediately.

He firmly believed that as Grindelwald's lackey, he still had value to be exploited.

......

That night, the turmoil in the wizarding world was destined to keep many people awake. A large number of wizards flocked to Diagon Alley, all thinking of going to Gringotts to retrieve their money. However, Gringotts had been disbanded, the goblins were nowhere to be found, and the entire Diagon Alley was under martial law.

The wizards secretly organized and hired by Sirius became the temporary maintainers of order. They barely managed to take over the deserted Gringotts and retrieved the money hidden inside according to the wizards' numbers.

However, to their dismay, even after receiving their money, they had nowhere to spend it.

Whether it was Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, or Hogsmeade, prices soared to an unimaginable level amid the turmoil. In just three hours, many wizards discovered in despair that all the wealth they had accumulated over decades was only enough to buy a cup of butterbeer.

The once precious Galleons are now worthless as dirt.

On this night, countless wizards turned on each other in despair and grief.

However, for the new students at Hogwarts, this is just a story that takes place in a faraway world.

A new day has begun, and it's time for them to start class.

111 minus 1 to receive a round-faced chubby chicken

Early in the morning, Li Lin's window was crowded with all kinds of owls.

The first Defense Against the Dark Arts class was in the afternoon, giving him a whole morning to slack off.

Li, who aspired to be a Hogwarts salary parasite, naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He opened the window and brought the owls in one by one.

The first letter was from Sirius Black, whose owl was a grey scops owl.

Li Lin pulled out the letter, and the enchanted parchment opened automatically to reveal the text.

He rambled on for a long time, mainly about how he spent the fake Galleons as Li Lin instructed, and although he successfully completed the task, he felt extremely uneasy and guilty, feeling that he had let down Dumbledore's teachings and Hogwarts' upbringing... In short, it was a bunch of self-righteous nonsense.

As a professional psychological counselor, Mr. Li naturally wouldn't ignore Sirius's psychological problems.

He pulled out his shorthand quill and wrote down a lot of political nonsense, mainly praising Dumbledore and reassuring Sirius to go ahead and create.

How could someone like you possibly bring down Hogwarts, which is so resilient? Everything we do is to help the corrupt wizarding world rise from the ashes.

After seeing the grey scops owl off, Li Lin took out the second letter.

That was a letter from Ollivander.

Besides crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, he also begged Li Lin in his letter not to cancel the wand exhibition.

Li Lin scoffed, mocking Ollivander's naiveté.

"Haven't you seen it yet? The will of Heaven has changed, the divine artifacts have changed hands, and they will belong to the virtuous. This is the natural order. It is not obtained through power or force, but is truly ordained by Heaven. A few petty thieves who are unaware of their own mortality dare to defy Heaven and fight against the general trend of the world?"

Ollivander seemed to have guessed that Li Lin would say this, and in his letter he pleaded desperately, doing everything he could to flatter him.

Unfortunately, it was just flattery, without any real benefit.

"If it weren't for the great cause, I might have agreed, but now... I'm sorry."

Li Lin shook his head slightly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and quickly wrote words on the letter paper with his shorthand quill pen.

"So for my happy life after Si Chen takes a liking to me... you stubborn resisters, just die in despair!"

After shoving the letter full of childish and pretentious remarks into the owl's mouth and swatting it out the window, Li Lin took out the next letter.

This is Lucius's letter.

Compared to the previous two ungrateful letters, Lucius's tone was very humble and sensible. He didn't mention the fact that he had been sold off by Li Lin at all. Instead, he focused on assuring that he would do anything for the Dark Lord Grindelwald. Not only himself, but also his wife and son were loyal to Grindelwald.

In short, we earnestly beg Li Lin to show mercy and take the entire Malfoy family in as his dogs.

"Tsk."

Li Lin clicked his tongue in annoyance, feeling that bullying this kind of opponent didn't give him any sense of accomplishment.

After a brief moment of thought, Li Lin frowned, and an idea came to him.

"Take all the Galleons you have to Borgin Burke's shop and exchange them for Gold Pounds."

The economic crisis caused by inflation has begun to spread from Britain to the magical world of other countries, and at this time the second step of the plan, which is to take advantage of the situation to induce a bank run by using strong foreign currencies, can also be implemented.

Since the Malfoy family wants to be the first to betray their country, let's give them that opportunity.

Mr. Li casually rolled up the letter and stuffed it into the owl's hand, but his initial enthusiasm quickly turned to annoyance.

Those owls that hadn't received a reply refused to go back, so the considerate Master Li grabbed one of the owls by the neck and had the house-elf who arrived just in time stew it into soup.

The remaining round-faced, chubby chickens scattered and fled, fearing they would be the next lucky ones.

In the afternoon, Li Lin's first class was for the second-year students of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

Stepping into the classroom, Li Lin ascended the podium.

His gaze swept across the classroom.

He paused briefly as he passed the Hufflepuff students, taking a sharp breath.

Wow, this little brat is incredibly handsome, almost half as good-looking as me.

Then I looked at his name in his textbook and realized, oh, it's Cedric. Oh well, it's alright now.

Then he noticed several students rushing over outside the door, who at first glance were the troublemakers from Gryffindor.

Determined to establish his authority, Li Lin took two quick steps, rushed to the door, and slammed his hand down—

boom!

The classroom door closed, and the sound carried down the corridor.

If you're late on the first day of the new semester, then you might as well stay outside!

Li Lin, still fuming after closing the door, returned to the podium.

As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and he needs to give these disobedient students a taste of their power.

So first of all...

Li Lin pointed at the Weasley twins and said sternly, "You two! This is class time, please take your hands out from under your desks!"

The Weasley twins were taken aback, and looked at each other blankly as they pulled their hands out from under their desks.

"Anyway, let's start class now, everyone take out your textbooks."

"Given the recent upheavals in the wizarding world, these textbooks are practically useless now."

All the students stared blankly as Li Lin picked up the magic chalk and slammed it heavily onto the blackboard.

Li Lin suddenly remembered that the translation module couldn't help him write in English, so he casually tossed the chalk aside.

"You may not know, but the magical world has become a complete mess."

Li Lin casually tossed a piece of magic chalk at the whispering Weasley twins, "All order has collapsed, the Ministry of Magic's prestige has been completely lost, Galleons are not even worth as much as roadside pebbles."

"What is he talking about?" George and Fred exchanged a puzzled look. "Does this have anything to do with the lesson? What's the point?"

“The meaning is that you’ve all gone bankrupt and may not be able to come to school next semester,” Li Lin said honestly. “When you get home, you might see a dilapidated house with bare walls, or you might find your parents’ bodies hanging from the rafters, dried into cured meat.”

"Wow--"

A timid girl was so frightened by Li Lin's description that she cried.

Li Lin got up and grabbed her braids, spinning her pigtails like a windmill, scaring the little girl so much that she forgot to shed tears.

Li Lin seized the opportunity to change the subject: "So this is the essence of black magic. You not only have to face vicious curses, but also have to be wary of the art of language at all times."

The students, who had been misled, nodded blankly. Even Cedric, a good student with excellent grades and conduct, actually thought that what Li Lin said made a lot of sense.

"In short, to defend against black magic, you must first understand it and master it."

Li Lin continued to spout nonsense.

"There is only one way to defeat the black wizard, and that is to be even more unethical than him."

Li Lin gestured for the Weasley twins to stand in front of the podium: "For example, I'm about to have a duel with both of the Weasleys."

"really?"

"it is true?"

Fred and George, thinking they had found an opportunity for revenge, excitedly pulled out dung balls from their pockets.

Li Lin calmly raised his head, looking surprised: "Mr. Snape? You want to see me?"
