Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 46 I am very angry and the consequences are serious!

Tonight was the transaction time agreed upon with Lacibe from Gringotts. Lin You was waiting for the customer to come in the reception room. However, the person who came was not the agreed Lacibe, but another goblin.

"I am Elder Ko Gort of the Gringotts Board of Directors." The visitor introduced himself politely but arrogantly.

"Gott?" Lin You was quite curious. "As I recall, Gringotts was founded by a goblin named Gringott."

"That's my ancestor. My maternal line has the blood of Gringott." The visitor was very proud of his bloodline.

"It seems that I have received an important person. Why is it not Elder Lacibe who came?"

Lin You's casual tone made Ke Gort quite dissatisfied, and his voice became serious: "Lasib has been removed from all positions on the board of directors due to wrong decisions, dereliction of duty, and violation of the Confidentiality Act. He will be severely punished."

"So you are here to inform me that the transaction invitation between Elder Lacibi and me has expired, right?" Although Lin You was a little surprised, he didn't care much. The power struggle within the goblins certainly made him earn less gold galleons, but compared to the huge treasures he had obtained in the past few days, it was just a drop in the bucket.

"That's not the case." Ko Gort walked to a chair with a confident step, and sat down without waiting for the host to invite him. "We still hope to buy gold from you; after all, too much Muggle currency is a burden to us, not wealth."

Lin You could tell that the other party would definitely make a turn at this time: "But what?"

"However, the board of directors believes that the terms of the deal that Lacibee reached with you are not reasonable." Ko Gort raised his chin, trying to show a proud temperament that was inconsistent with his short stature. "We hope to modify the terms of the deal."

"How to change it?" Lin You's tone was already impatient.

Ko Gort could hear Count Goff's dissatisfaction, but he obviously didn't care. He continued in a long and confident tone, "We feel that we should not pay the 30% commission; of course, we are still happy to buy gold at the market price."

When it comes to "buying gold at the market price", Ko Gort's stiff-skinned face is full of arrogance.

"What if I don't agree?" Lin You asked casually, "In the Muggle financial world, although gold has a currency price, its role in the financial market is far greater than that of currency of the same value. If there is no additional commission, I will not sell gold."

"You have to think about it carefully, young Count." Ko Gort's voice was hoarse and low. "Lacibee violated the Statute of Secrecy by hoarding Muggle currency, which is a serious crime. And according to his confession, it was you who tried to help him sell the stolen goods and cover up the crime? If this confession were to spread, it would be very disadvantageous to you."

Lin You laughed in silence. He sat on the chair opposite the goblin and looked at him with a playful smile.

At first, Ko Gort thought that the kid was just pretending to be calm, so he confidently joined him in the silent confrontation; but gradually, he realized that something was wrong.

The other party didn't seem to care about the "silent confrontation". The expression on that young face was not the expected "anger", "seriousness", "intimidation", etc., but more like "confusion", and... "sarcasm"?
The silence in the reception room lasted for more than ten minutes, or even less, and Ko Gort lost his patience; even if he would be at a disadvantage in the negotiations, he wanted to find out what the other party was relying on that dared to "mock" him at this time.

But the subsequent development of the matter was completely out of the track that Ko Gort could understand.

When the goblin elder couldn't help but want to speak again, Count Goff made a "hush" gesture in advance to silence him. Then, Ko Gort found that he couldn't open his mouth suddenly; his upper and lower lips seemed to be cast under a "permanent sticking spell", sticking together tightly.

This sudden change frightened Ko Gort so much that he almost jumped up. At this moment, he found that his hands and feet were fixed to the chair, and his body seemed to be integrated with the chair, turning into something like a wooden relief. The next moment, the goblin elder's inconspicuous neck was pulled back by an inexplicable force, and the back of his head hit the back of the chair heavily. But he could no longer care about the pain, because there was a clear feeling of suffocation on his neck, as if a noose was getting tighter and tighter.

Ko Gort still had some knowledge. He felt that his current situation was very similar to sitting on the "hanging chair" designed by Muggles in the Middle Ages to execute prisoners.

At this time, the goblin elder finally began to feel fear. This eight-year-old child actually had such a powerful black magic that he could even silently imprison the goblins' innate magic talents.

Facing Ke Gort's horrified gaze, Lin You shook his head and smiled, as if talking to himself: "I'm sorry, I've been thinking about this matter over and over again for the past ten minutes, but I can't figure it out. Why do you, Gringotts, dare to blackmail me?"

"The Statute of Secrecy, the Ministry of Magic?" Lin You shook his head in disdain, looking directly at the goblin elder. "It seems that people in the magic world don't have a very good memory. Only two centuries have passed, and you have actually forgotten why the Forrester family was able to ignore the Statute of Secrecy and provide magical services to the Muggle royal families of two countries."

"Do you think the situation of the Forresters is different from what it was two centuries ago, or do you think the rules of the wizarding world are different now than they were two centuries ago?"

Questions were thrown out one after another, but the goblin elder with his mouth sealed was unable to answer at all.

Of course, Lin You didn't come here to get an answer. He stood up with a sneer and said calmly, "I can tell you clearly that your behavior at Gringotts makes me very angry, and the consequences are serious."

After saying that, the young Earl turned and walked towards the fireplace. Before entering the fireplace, he did not forget to comfort the fairy elder who could not move: "Wait a moment, at most fifteen minutes, I will be back."

With his back to the fireplace, Ko Gort heard only a "Knockturn Alley" and then a ball of green light. The reception room returned to silence, with only the slight "crackling" sound of burning wood remaining.

This silence with an unknown ending was more terrifying than any sound, and the goblin elder felt extremely upset.

What was he doing in Knockturn Alley? Was he looking for some Dark item? Was he looking for something from a Dark wizard?

Yes, he must want to kill someone to silence him, and find an opportunity to kill Lacibee. This is his only way to escape.

No, he dared to do this in front of me. Isn't he afraid that I will report him later? Does he want to kill me to silence me?
Why, why, why?

Ko Gort's mind was a mess.

Fifteen minutes passed while the goblin elder was daydreaming, and then the fireplace lit up with green light again, followed by the sound of soft footsteps of a child.

Lin You walked past the chair, ignored the anxious fairy elder, and went straight into the bathroom.

Ko Gort clearly saw that the boy's hands, sleeves and even the hem of his clothes were all stained with blood as red as magma.
