Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 81 Making a Deal with Pollock
"Interlude a piece of latest news. The famous bounty hunter Porco Rosso was shot down by the American pilot Cadiz during the air encounter. The body of Porco has not been found yet, and the relevant authorities are actively searching for it... "

John wiped his mouth with the napkin that was on hand, got up and left the hotel restaurant.

During the period when there was no news of Pollock, John first found the factory that helped Pollock build the plane, and after seeing the red-haired girl Feo from a distance, he went back to the hotel.

And during this time, he also saw how annoying those fascist secret police who were everywhere like hyenas were at this point in time.

John had also received military training in the world of Tanya. Even if he was not professional spy training, he could recognize these disguised secret police at a glance with his perception and experience beyond ordinary people.

Just like when he was eating in the restaurant just now, the two middle-aged men reading the newspaper at the next table were the secret police, and they were also responsible for keeping an eye on him.

These secret police were mixed in this hotel, either in groups of one or two, and they were keeping an eye on the foreigners who came to Milan.

More than once, John heard the noise made by the secret police arresting people in the hotel in the middle of the night.

"It's like a mad dog." John cursed secretly

Out of the corner of his eye, John glanced at the two secret police who had followed him from the restaurant to the hotel lobby.

At the same time, there are quite a few secret policemen distributed in the lobby. Although it seems that they are all doing other things, if you look closely, you can find that their eyes are always on their respective targets.

John even found out that the female companion of a rich businessman is actually a secret policeman. If the rich businessman knows that the person next to his pillow is a time bomb that can take his life at any time, he wonders if he can still laugh.

John walked out of the hotel, ignoring the two secret policemen who followed him, since he could get rid of them at any time anyway.

Walking all the way to the bustling commercial street, no one noticed that beetles kept flying out of John's swinging sleeves.

This is the last batch of beetle-type alchemy monitors. In this way, the surveillance network covering the entire Milan is completed. No matter where Pollock enters Milan from, John can find it immediately.

In this way, John came to the port, leaning casually on the railing, thinking about the Philosopher's Stone, and throwing out a little French fries from time to time to feed the seagulls wandering by the pier.

As for the two secret policemen following John?John had dumped them all the way back on the strip.

A week passed quickly, and John always had breakfast and lunch in the hotel in the morning like this, and then walked all the way to the pier to think about problems while feeding the seagulls. Of course, the secret police who came over would also be thrown away by John.

As usual, the receiver in John's arms began to vibrate as he finished his lunch and was about to leave the restaurant and leave the hotel.

John knew that Pollock had arrived in Milan.

So John ignored the secret police behind him, got up and went back to the room.

In John's room at the moment, a portable multi-screen monitor is placed in the center of the room.

Because of the Muggle expulsion spell set in advance, even if the secret police entered the room while he was away, they would ignore the monitors in the room under the influence of magic.

Turn on the monitor, call up the corresponding screen, and John saw outside the train station, a pig-headed man wearing a beige windbreaker, white suit pants, sunglasses and two beards, with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in the windbreaker pocket. Inside, watching workers load the wreckage of his plane onto a truck.

Following the surveillance footage all the way to Pollock, John clearly saw how the other party got rid of those secret policemen, how he bypassed half of Milan, and finally went to the factory.

Seeing this, John felt that it was time to contact Pollock as well.

And combined with the investigation of Poluk during this period, and related memories.

Instead of spending time building a good relationship with Pollock, it would be easier to directly and straightforwardly state your purpose with the other party, and at the same time propose a corresponding reward.

So on the third day after Porco brought the plane back to the factory, John came to the door directly,

It was a sunny day and the weather was fine. John directly held the Raven Circle and flapped the dragon wings and fell from the sky, directly landing in front of Poluk who was sitting by the factory gate.

The ladies and girls who were building new planes in the factory at that time were all surprised by John's shocking appearance.

But I don't know if it's because he has seen the scenery beyond common sense. Pollock sat calmly on the chair and looked at John who fell in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Polucroso, or Mr. Mark Peggott."

"Just call me Porco." Porco looked at John with a cigarette in his mouth and said calmly, "Is there anything you want from me?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is John Williams. I am a magician who travels the world. I heard about your name and the changes in you some time ago. I am very interested in the changes in you, so please Please forgive me."

Now Fio and his family were all gathered together, standing away from Porco and John, listening to their conversation.

"He said he was a magician, so there really are magicians in the world."

"Look at his eyes, they are completely different from ours!"

"Am I the only one who thinks he looks really good-looking?"

…………

Ignoring the noisy conversation around him, Polluck and John looked at each other with blue dragon eyes. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always had the illusion that he was completely seen.

"It's not an illusion, Mr. Pollock. In fact, anyone who looks into my eyes will be caught by me." John said.

Porco really showed a shocked expression, and then quickly avoided looking into John's eyes.

Although he didn't know what the other party's purpose was, seeing the other party's current attitude, Poluk didn't realize that the other party had any malicious intentions, so he thought about it for a while and asked Poluk, "Then what do you want to do when you find me?"

"That's right, Mr. Pollock, the change in your body is really amazing. I know it's very abrupt. I wonder if I can study you."

Hearing the word "research", Porco immediately wanted to get angry, but was interrupted by John's next words.

"Of course, you can rest assured that the research won't do you any harm. If you want, not only can I pay you, but I can also use magic to transform your plane."

"Of course, if you have any other requirements, you can also ask them. As long as they are not harmful to the world, I can agree to them."

John stared at Porco in front of him. In the magical field of vision, Porco's whole body exuded a lot of magical aura, and the place where the light was most intense was in Porco's heart.

The words "Xian You Xin Sheng" have a new interpretation on Pollock.

Pollock looked at John in front of him, and quickly glanced at the other person's eyes. Having seen too many people, he could see the seriousness in John's eyes at a glance.

And with John's ability to fall from the sky just now, as well as the looming sense of threat on the other side, it is not difficult for Pollock to see that this magician is actually very dangerous.

If the other party forcibly moves, even if everyone goes together, they probably won't be his opponents.

Now that the other party is willing to make a deal with him, then Pollux will not choose to refuse so quickly.

"... Let's talk about how much you can pay first?"

Hearing what Pollock said, John knew that the other party would agree to the deal with a high probability, so John flipped his wrist, and a black suitcase appeared in John's hand.

"Be careful, it's heavy."

John handed it directly to Porco. Seeing that Porco also cared about John's reminder, how heavy could such a box be?
Without any hesitation, Pollock reached out and took the box directly from John.

It was only the moment John let go that Pollock almost fell to the ground under the weight of the box. Fortunately, Pollock kept exercising all year round, so that he managed to stabilize his figure.

It was only then that Porco realized what John meant by a little heavy, and looked at John's arm in surprise.

In his mind, John's danger level was raised again, and then Porco squatted down and put the box flat on the ground, and pressed the button to open the lock.

As the box was opened, under the sunlight, a piece of golden light lit up from inside the box.

"Wow!!!"

Everyone exclaimed, and so did Pollock.

In the box in front of them, several regular gold bricks lay quietly in the box.

"A gold brick is fifty kilograms. I don't know the reward. Are you satisfied, Mr. Pollock?" John still said with a smile.

No one could face these gold bricks with an expressionless face, even Poluk. He saw the other party take a deep breath several times, and then tried his best to cover the box to block the shining golden light inside.

Porco looked at John, and before he could speak, John, who had seen through the other's mind, explained directly, "Don't worry, I didn't snatch this. It's my private property. You can accept it with confidence."

After a long silence, Poluk said angrily, "I agree to the deal, but I only have two requirements. One is that you promise that I can stop the research at any time, and the other is that you can no longer use that damned mind-reading technique!"

"Of course, Mr. Pollock, since I said I will meet your request, I will naturally do it."

John nodded with a smile, and then stretched out his hand to Porco: "Then the deal is established?"

"The transaction is established!"

After that day, John lived in this small factory.

At the beginning, everyone was a little afraid of John. After all, the identity of the other party was a mysterious magician. Except for Pollock, everyone was a devout Christian. They were afraid that the other party would be dissatisfied with them because of some historical events.

But soon as the days passed and time passed, everyone found that John was actually a very kind person, and he behaved peacefully in the world.

Not only will they use magic to help them, but they also have no opinion on their Christian identity.

So everyone gradually became more casual with John, not as cautious as before.

At the same time, after getting along with him during this period, Pollock also relaxed. The other party did what he said, although they studied him, they only stuck some small metal pieces on him, or scanned him with strange instruments.

Seems pretty... scientific?There were no spells, potions, or weird rituals as he imagined. At most, he used chalk to draw various magic circles on the ground and asked him to stand there for a while.

Coupled with the sufficient remuneration of the other party, Pollock also followed John to study him.

　In the world of adults, they care more about interests and judging the situation. Since John is stronger than Pollock and has shown good intentions, as a mature adult, the other party will not choose to refuse rashly, and will inevitably cross him. interests, make a decision.
