I, the Dark Lord, will definitely be a good principal!

Chapter 22: There is no right or wrong.

?? ? ? ? ??? ??

He seemed reluctant to communicate with people, always avoiding eye contact. Even now, sitting in his seat, he ate his ice cream very cautiously.

If you're not paying attention to him, it's very easy to overlook his existence.

Perhaps he was too quiet... He didn't make a sound during his movements.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in Dumbledore's heart, as if...

The child in front of me is not a living person, but a delicate and beautiful puppet that someone is carefully controlling.

The feeling was so strange that Dumbledore himself was startled when he realized it.

"Would you like to tell me what you think, Angel?"

Angell looked up at him, pursed his lips, and didn't seem very willing.

"When I was at home, my father said that it was useless for me to study these things. Headmaster Dumbledore, do you think so too?"

Dumbledore paused for a moment, then quickly laughed, but didn't answer the question directly: "What I heard before was that you ran away because you were neglected by your family, but now it seems that's not the case..."

"As for whether Muggle economics is useful... some things aren't about whether they're useful or not, but about whether you want to do them!"

Angell took a bite of ice cream, pondering the words in his mind.

“I noticed a long time ago that there is an exchange rate between the pound and the gallon. Although the exchange rate is basically around one gallon to five pounds, I can make a profit as long as I catch the highest and lowest points of the exchange rate.”

"And... Mr. Dumbledore, doesn't any of you find this strange?"

He looked up at Dumbledore, and the buff that had reduced his presence seemed to disappear. When he talked about things that interested him, his eyes shone brightly.

"I remember there was a rebellion among the fairies. We can't guarantee the loyalty of fairies the same way we guarantee the loyalty of house-elves!"

"But since Gringotts was founded in 1474, it has become the only bank in England that has handed over the economic lifeline of the English wizarding world to a race that has rebelled in the past... Isn't that dangerous?"

Angell seemed to get more and more excited as he spoke, and color returned to his pale cheeks.

Dumbledore looked at Angor at this moment, and the strange feeling in his heart completely disappeared.

"So, do you want to create a second wizard bank?"

Angor nodded without hesitation: "Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore, this may seem absurd to you, but... but..."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded: "A very good ideal. Do whatever you want to do boldly. As for knowledge about this, you can go to the library and look through the books after you enter Hogwarts. I believe this will be of great help to you!"

"So where exactly is this Muggle economic system you're talking about manifested?"

"Stock trading, Professor, if I can invest correctly, I will quickly accumulate a lot of wealth in the Muggle world, and... if I can learn divination, then using magic to help me trade stocks is within the scope of the Secret Law!"

Dumbledore listened as Angor enthusiastically analyzed the various industries in the Muggle world... In fact, he only vaguely understood many of these things, but it was quite interesting to hear Angor talk about them.

Yes, the more he listened, the more reassured he felt.

After all, given the current situation, Angor seems to prefer money to researching black magic.

They've even gone so far as to study Muggle society.

The reason Angell and Malfoy had such a big fight was probably this, rather than being ignored by their parents.

Thinking this through, Dumbledore didn't tell Angor that the Gringotts fairies were also subject to magical limitations and could not possibly use their control over the wizarding world's economic lifeline to start another war, as Angor claimed.

As for establishing a new wizarding bank... in his view, there was almost no chance of success.

But kids, after all, should have some wild and imaginative ideas.

He found these whimsical ideas incredibly endearing, and while listening to them recount them, he would sometimes temporarily forget reality and conjure up those bright and cheerful colors.

After saying almost everything, Angell finally realized that the ice cream in his hand had almost melted and was dripping all over the table.

He frantically pulled out his wand, chanted "Cleanse" several times before finally casting the spell... and then blasted the ice cream into Dumbledore's face.

vold: "...?"

The sudden scene made him burst into laughter in Angel's mind.

Angell's move... was definitely intentional, not accidental!

All he could say was, it was absolutely gorgeous!

Angel was also stunned. Could he really say that it was an accident?

He didn't dare to use magic like that in front of Dumbledore...

Compared to disgusting Dumbledore, revealing one's true magical abilities is simply not worth the risk.

However, all he can say about the current result is that it's absolutely fantastic!

It felt as satisfying as when the villain in a TV drama from my past life got struck by lightning and died.

But he hadn't forgotten...

"Stop laughing, old Deng is doing it on purpose!"

Yes, Angell sensed it; someone was invading his memories.

...That's true, what a coincidence!

vold: "?!"

Fluctuations from Occlumency? Did Dumbledore use Legilimency on them?

Judging from Angell's tone, he must have expected this all along?

"How did you come up with the idea?"

“Normally, a young wizard shouldn’t know magic at this stage. I deliberately took out my wand to provoke him into confirming that I was okay again. In this situation, Legilimency is the most direct way to do it.”

"Besides, what a coincidence... Dumbledore probably wants to see my reaction, humph... But that's normal. From his perspective, I do need to be careful."

Vold felt a headache coming on. Memories of Xu Congwei's past life in officialdom flooded his mind, only to be impatiently driven away.

Why are you still siding with him?

Angell said somewhat helplessly, "There is no right or wrong in anything. Whether you think it is right or wrong is just because you have accepted the right or wrong viewpoints that others have instilled in you."

"It's like... in many things where we might disagree, it's often a clash between values ​​that we believe are right."

He explained these things casually, still appearing completely at ease under Dumbledore's Legilimency.

He's truly fearless when it comes to matters of the soul and spirit...

"For example, if a child who has been abused for a long time kills his father, the reason why there may be differences in the evaluation of this matter is because of the conflict between the two values ​​of 'killing is wrong, killing one's own father is even more wrong' and 'if you are abused, you should fight back'."

"The difference in viewpoints is due to the different internal ranking of various values ​​of right and wrong among different people."

vold: "..."

"So what you're saying is that you actually admire Dumbledore?"

Angell didn't discuss the topic with Vold any further, otherwise he would have been in a daze or rather, frozen for too long.

He hurriedly stood up, frantically trying to help Dumbledore wipe the ice cream off his face, but perhaps because he was too flustered, he knocked over the chair, making the scene even more chaotic.
