Chapter 289: 'The Big Plan”

Chapter 289: “The Big Plan”

Sean saw the expression and anticipation in his father’s eyes. Although it was impolite to say so, he had to admit that his father now looked like a greedy old fox.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

“As I said at the beginning, using the primitive financial system of the wizarding world to do things is too dangerous for me. I’m an ordinary person because the uncertainties are too high, and we can’t get involved directly,” He narrowed his eyes, “But what if we don’t do anything?”

“Don’t do anything?”

“That’s right, we don’t even have to show up.”

“Don’t show up?” Sean pondered for a while and then had a question again, “If I want to gain a certain voice in the wizarding world without attracting any attention, the first choice must be not to show up. This is my original intention.”

“No, no, my child. You are too obsessed with hiding. Combined with the current situation, try to dig deeper.” He continued.

“Dig deeper...” Sean lifted his chin.

Logically speaking, even if his father got news about the wizarding world through informal channels, the news was only partial. With Sean, he knew far more news than his father.

Sean’s index and middle fingers tapped rhythmically on a wooden desk. He tried to think about the problem from his father’s perspective, a private hospital owner and a capitalist with a conscience.

The Principal of Nurmengard has changed, the Guards are still in the school, and it must be a mess. The British Ministry of Magic is preparing for the election, the political situation is heating up, and several candidates are trying their best to win votes. International Confederation will face a big change.

The Wallup family wants to get a part of the right to speak here, and the only advantage lies in his father’s money and power. But just like what his father said, their family can’t get involved in the financial system of the wizarding world. They don’t have a really powerful and reliable wizarding background.

Sean frowned and thought for a long time but still couldn’t find a suitable entry point. He finally chose to look at his father.

He smiled and shook his head, “We need to understand where the danger comes from.”

“Where? No matter how we operate or choose to stand in line, it comes from the side whose interests have been harmed by us.” Sean replied.

“Yes, we want the right to speak, and the right to speak is a benefit. If we get it, someone will lose something. Obviously, I am an ordinary person. You are only in the third grade, and we can’t deal with it. But what about creating a new right to speak? Creating an opening field?”

“An opening?”

“Think about it. With the political situation now, those wizarding politicians play politics like our stupid cabinet. They want votes, they want people’s hearts. But the entire wizarding world is in a lot of trouble.”

He sat next to Sean and put his arms around his shoulders, “All boils down to one thing, interest. Sean, you are too eager to think about how to grab the benefits safely and without risk, which is okay. You need to think about how to get greater benefits through less effort, and this is what we are going to do.”

Sean nodded, “I see.”

“Let’s change our way of thinking,” He laughed, “What is our family’s advantage?”

“Uh, that we’re quite rich. But we can’t get into the financial system.” Halfway through speaking, Sean froze.

He thought of the key point, the place he had been ignoring.

He patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, “It seems that you figured it out.”

Sean looked at his father, “We send them financial support?”

“Yes, Sean.” He smiled.

He continued, “We’re not going to trouble anyone. We’re going to help them out.”

Sean understood it all at once and then showed a smile, “Professor Dumbledore...”

“That’s right, he has a status but has no real power. This kind of person is essentially important to the entire wizarding world. I don’t believe that he, who is praised in all the books I have read, will allow them to do that. He will most likely intervene. Although, we need to find a way for him to keep it at our side.”

According to Sean’s understanding, he will definitely support him and keep an eye on him if there is anything. However, the problem is that now whether or not he can talk about it in the future.

Now, Sean was completely convinced. He looked at his father, “I guess it’s up to you now.”

“Pray that it will go well.” He said with a smile.

The two discussed again for a while about the general direction of the whole plan, such as looking for opportunities to join the Hogwarts or even Nurmengard’s school board in the future. After a night of conversation, Sean learned a lot from his father.

The conversation didn’t come to an end until Mrs. Wallup called to take a rest.

“Good night, Dad. Thank you for your insight.”

“You’re welcome, son. Good night.”

When Sean walked to the door, his father called to him from behind again.

Sean turned his head and saw his father’s expression, “Wait, there is one other thing.”

“What is it, Dad?”

“Since we talked a lot, you grew up so smart and never let us down. Even at this age, I support you in doing what you want to do, and I want you to know. Your parents, your family have always supported you behind your back.”

Sean’s heart warmed, and he nodded solemnly:, “I know, thank you, Dad.”

“No,” He shook his head, “You’re welcome. I just want to add that as a closer.”

Sean didn’t speak. He just looked at his father quietly.

He came over and hugged Sean, “We talked about interests before, but I have to tell you one thing. There is a kind of behavior that does not need to be driven by interests, and that is love.”

He straightened up, “I, your mother, your sister, love you very much. I am not trying to emphasize this to you but to remind you that we are your strongest supporter no matter what.”

Sean stared at his father, and a force and emotion that was usually not visible seemed to surge suddenly. He hugged his father vigorously.

“I know, I know, Dad.”

The father and son hugged for a while, waiting until he patted his son’s shoulder hard, “Now go, make me proud out there.”

The long talk with his father all night directly gave Sean a clear idea. Not only that, he felt more confident in doing things. Early the next morning, he began to think about candidates.

Yes, the people who run this welfare system.

His father will be responsible for recruiting a group of professionals. Of course, they do not know the status quo of the wizarding world. He found a reason that his precious son wanted to write a book, the kind with detailed settings.

Even though it’s a bit weird for him to spend a lot of money just for his son’s book.
