"George, of course we should sell! We don't have the Golden Dragon Chessboard!"
Two red-haired boys, surrounded by a group of children, held a glittering gold card in their hands, their cheeks flushed.
"I'll buy it! Sell it to me! I'll offer one Galleon!"
"One Galleon? Are you crazy! I'll offer one Galleon plus ten silver shicos!"
"Don't try to take it from me! I'll offer two Galleons!"
The two children argued heatedly, their faces turning red.
The people around couldn't get a word in edgewise.
They don't have that much money.
Most of the kids here are buying school supplies because school is starting soon.
Their parents were shopping elsewhere, so they took the opportunity to run over.
I don't even have a single Galleon in my hand.
I'm afraid they don't even have a single silver coin.
"Everyone, stop arguing. I'll put up five Galleons."
Puni stepped forward.
Fred was taken aback.
Metallic metal galvanizer?!
Is it possible that someone would spend five Galleons to buy a card like this?
Although this card is really cool, and he wanted to keep it, but...
They simply don't have the money to buy the chessboard here!
Merlin's beard, and a chessboard for that price—it costs tens of Galleons!
This shop owner is really daring with his prices!
As Puni made his bid, the surrounding children fell silent.
Seeing this, Fred shoved the card into Puni's hand and then accepted the five Galleons that the other party handed him.
"Alright, alright, the legendary card has been sold! Everyone, let's go!" George shouted from the side.
He stared wide-eyed at the five Galleons in Fred's hand.
They saw others playing Golden Dragon Wars at school and knew that these cards had a market and value.
So I came here to see if I had a chance to draw a high-level card.
Even if it's just an epic card, or even a rare card, if the card is popular or rare, it will definitely be more than ten bronze Nat!
One pack of cards costs ten copper knits.
The two brothers saved money by living frugally and doing other small businesses at school, and eventually managed to save up some.
So, I spent the whole holiday doing housework at home.
They finally had enough money to buy two packs of cards.
The first pack yielded nothing, but the second pack gave me a legendary gold card!
“It’s a real five Galleons!” Fred took a bite of the gold coin, his nose practically snotting with delight.
"Do you think I'd try to fool you with fake Galon? Wouldn't all those goblins and Aurors swarm over and tear me apart?" Puni chuckled.
"Hehe, sorry, I just haven't personally held a Galon yet," Fred chuckled.
“I’ve never even seen him!” George added.
“Now that you’ve seen it,” Puni said, putting the gold card away.
Fred couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Thank you, this is a huge sum of money!"
"For us!" George exclaimed, beaming with joy.
In fact, when those two were bidding down to two Galleons, he almost couldn't resist letting Fred sell it right away!
Thank goodness!
"No need to be polite. After all, if this legendary card were to be sold, it would fetch between ten and twenty Galleons on the market."
Puni waved to the two of them, then led Regulus out the door.
Only the two red-haired brothers, who had suddenly turned to stone, remained.
Fred looked at his younger brother.
George also looked at his older brother.
Fred couldn't help but bring the gold coin close to his eyes, turning it over and over to look at it, as if doing so would double its value.
But the fairy's head on it was still clear, and the patterns hadn't changed at all.
"Ten...ten to twenty Galleons? We...only sold five?"
George's mouth, which had been grinning from ear to ear, suddenly drooped, forming a comical downward curve.
He stared at the Gallon in Fred's hand, his gaze complex as if he were looking at something he both loved and hated.
"He's far more shrewd than us!"
Fred's throat moved, but he couldn't say anything.
The simple smile on his face had vanished without a trace, replaced by a mixture of shock, annoyance, and bewilderment.
He reached out and gently patted his cheek.
“My Merlin…” George ran his hands through his hair, scratching it roughly, making his reddish-brown hair a mess.
"I was almost satisfied when the bid came down to two Galleons. If we had waited a little longer... or... or maybe we shouldn't have agreed so quickly!"
Fred sighed. "He said the market price is between ten and twenty Galleons? We've essentially given him at least five Galleons for free."
He held up the gold coin and examined it against the light.
"I scrimped and saved for a whole holiday, did so many chores, and in the end... I earned more than half less."
George joined in as well.
The two brothers stared at the five Galleons, their heads close together, their eyes filled with the heartache of "the cooked duck flying away."
"Alright, stop thinking about it!" Fred patted his brother on the back. "Next time! Next time we'll definitely find out the market price first! Consider these five Galleons... a lesson learned!"
“That’s how it is, and that’s the only way.” George quickly recovered. “We’re not cunning enough! We have to learn a lot from that guy! Otherwise, we won’t earn any Galleons!”
“You’re right.” Fred carefully put the Gallon away. “By the way, did you see the person next to that child?”
“Regulus Black!” George nodded.
“I told you I wasn’t mistaken, his face always appears in the newspapers.” Fred turned around.
“That child is definitely not Regulus’s son,” George said.
This means...
"That kid who's even more cunning than us is Lestrange!"
"No wonder!"
......
“Little guy, you’re quite the businessman.” Regulus walked beside Puni, smiling as he patted his nephew’s head. “In the blink of an eye, you seem to have made at least five Galleons from those two kids.”
Puni didn't avoid it; sometimes he even enjoyed the care from his elders.
He nodded and tilted his head back: "This is one of the reasons why I went to great lengths to create the Golden Dragon Battle and even had you and your uncle promote it for me."
"As long as there is a market, the Galleons will jump into our arms on their own."
Regulus sighed, "You're so young, yet you're already more capable than me. I wonder when your stupid cousin will finally come to his senses."
Puni: "......"
He didn't know whether his cousin was stupid or not.
But he knew his cousin had really angered his uncle.
Given this evaluation from his own father, could it be that this uncle is already planning to create a new account?
Chapter 5: Actually, everyone was fooled by Ollivander; he's a shrewd businessman.
After thinking for a moment, Puni decided to change the topic.
"Uncle, do you know those two people?"
Regulus was still wondering what to do about his son.
We can't just condemn them all at once, can we?
Hearing his nephew's words, he paused for a moment: "Of course, if you're talking about a wizarding family with such iconic red hair, it has to be the Weasleys."
"They should all be attending Hogwarts, right?"
"Yes, you'll see them again when school starts."
Regulus chuckled. "But I guess you won't be in the same house as them. There aren't many people in my family who can become Gryffindors."
“My uncle is…” Puni started to say, but then swallowed the words back, though it seemed too late.
Regulus's expression turned cold: "That stupid and weak idiot has actually locked himself in prison. He's hopeless."
He glanced down at Penny: "I'm not surprised at all that someone like that became a Gryffindor, but I think you, Penny, would never want to live in that school full of recklessness."
Puni blinked and chuckled.
Regulus's current relationship with Sirius.
Well, how should I put it...
They are brothers, after all.
"Sigh, although we saved my uncle and some of his views have changed, his mindset from childhood to adulthood still can't be completely changed."
