Fudge and those Pure-blood families were never in Lan Luo's eyes. Although many members of these Pure-blood families were subordinates of the Dark Lord, they were also a community of interests. Whether in the Muggle world or the Wizarding World, interests always came first.
When Lan Luo arrived at Hagrid's hut with the three little ones, Daji also appeared by his side.
Fudge brought the Pure-blood families because he stood to gain some benefits, but to Lan Luo, their help was negligible. After all, when he first started promoting the magic ring, it was these very people who resisted it.
When Fudge saw Lan Luo, he happily went forward to embrace him, but Daji, who was by Lan Luo's side, spoke first: "Minister, you can call me Daji. I am currently handling all of my master's business, so you can discuss any requests directly with me."
At this moment, everyone turned their heads to carefully examine this impossibly beautiful girl: pink hair, fox ears, exquisite features, fair and delicate skin, a graceful and curvaceous figure, and a pair of long, straight legs.
Feeling Daji's captivating aura, many people's eyes began to become slowly intoxicated. It was Fudge who loudly asked: "Does this young lady have Veela blood?" Although his words were a question, they carried a tone of certainty.
"I suppose you could think of it that way. What are your requests?" Daji had no good impression of Fudge and his group.
Fudge then said to Lan Luo: "Mr. Thomas, the Ministry of Magic's regulations state that Wizarding World matters cannot appear in the Muggle world, and your magic ring is breaking that rule."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. To make money from the magic ring's marketplace, many Muggle wizards or Death Eaters who were ostracized by them had gained considerable benefits, while they themselves had received no actual benefits.
Lan Luo also pretended not to know, saying: "Minister, we only have rings in the school; we've never sold them outside."
Indeed, as Lan Luo said, they only sold them within the school, but many people would purchase them from the ring's marketplace, and then, as if one ring carried an entire marketplace, more and more magic rings were sold.
Upon hearing Lan Luo's words, Fudge instantly became displeased. He had expected things to be difficult, but he hadn't expected to be dealt such a heavy blow before he even started.
Lucius saw Fudge's expression and thought to himself: "Truly incompetent." After all, Fudge was a puppet propped up by their Pure-blood families; without their support, who would even know who Fudge was?
After some thought, Lucius shifted his cane to his other hand and spoke: "Mr. Thomas, I've heard Malfoy speak of you. A genius even more remarkable than Harry. But we all know you are the most powerful wizard in the Wizarding World in a thousand years, and we do not wish to offend you. We only want to obtain the method for making the magic ring, or you could let us handle all the sales."
Lan Luo secretly chuckled, thinking these people were truly fantasizing. How could he possibly hand these things over to them? The moment he entered the Wizarding World, he saw their backwardness and corruption; they were enemies from the start.
"Apologies, I have no intention of cooperating. If you wish to discuss that, I may not have time today." Lan Luo refused on the spot without much thought.
They couldn't openly make a move. After all, setting aside their strength, Lucius noticed that several people around him had strange looks in their eyes, as if they were enchanted by Daji. It was uncertain who they would attack if a fight broke out.
Lan Luo ignored them and walked towards the school with Harry and the others.
Ron then asked: "Aren't we going to save Buckbeak?"
"He's already in my sky villa," Lan Luo explained to Ron as they walked.
Harry then curiously asked: "How did you do that?"
Hermione also looked at Lan Luo, who then explained: "By controlling the space where Buckbeak was, and then Apparating, it's possible."
Lan Luo's brief explanation seemed to hit Hermione and the others with a ten-thousand-point critical strike. Harry stammered: "I've never heard of that. Hermione, have you?"
Hermione shook her head and said: "I haven't, and we didn't even see Buckbeak. How did he do it?"
In truth, Lan Luo didn't have much time to research Apparition. He simply used the power of the space stone, combined with his Observation Haki, to control that specific space and move it.
"Perhaps once you can analyze the principles of Apparition and improve upon it, you might be able to do it," Lan Luo said indifferently.
Ron's mouth hung open in surprise as he said: "How is that possible? We haven't even learned Apparition yet! We'd have to learn it, understand it, and then create something even more powerful. But I have to say, Lan Luo, you're really cool."
"Thank you. Would you like to go see Buckbeak? You can also have dinner at my villa," Lan Luo extended an invitation at the opportune moment. They usually hadn't visited during the school term, as they were still students and didn't have clones for studying like Lan Luo.
Hermione excitedly said: "Then let's all go! I'm also looking forward to the food we had last time."
Hearing Hermione's words, Harry and Ron both swallowed in unison, recalling the braised dishes and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that Lan Luo had brought out at the start-of-term feast.
After arriving at Lan Luo's sky villa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had been running around for Buckbeak's sake recently, and finally found Lan Luo to resolve it. When they saw Buckbeak in the garden, everyone was very happy.
Harry then went forward and stroked Buckbeak's head, saying: "You can consider this your home. Lan Luo will protect you well and won't let any harm come to you."
At this moment, Hermione noticed Lan Luo's manuscripts on the table: "Research on Dream Magic," "Integration of Advanced Herbology and Potions," "The Effects of 108 Magical Creature Hairs in Magical Tailoring," and "Conception and Research of Blood Curses." When she saw the author of all these works, Hermione was a little surprised. Although she had seen Lan Luo's elemental Animagus research before, these were all different categories of magic! How could one person be proficient to such an extent, and in so many different types of magic?
Harry and Ron watched Hermione flipping through Lan Luo's manuscripts. Ron curiously asked Lan Luo: "Is it really okay? Won't it affect you?"
Lan Luo said indifferently: "It's fine, I've pretty much finished researching them all." Then he called Daji over to make dinner.
Ron and Harry were both a little lost in thought as they watched Daji's retreating figure. Once Daji was out of sight, they both looked at Lan Luo, a cold sweat breaking out.
"You might be at the age of youthful infatuation, and it's time to find a girlfriend. This one is a robot." Lan Luo didn't mean to mock them, but seeing the corner of Lan Luo's mouth, both of them couldn't help but twitch their own lips.
