Chapter 139 The Bottom Line of a Conscientious Store
Malfoy looked at Kyle angrily, as if he wanted to cast a spell on his face.
In fact, he did so.
"Legs stand still!"
Malfoy suddenly attacked and used the leg-locking spell on Kyle first, trying to use this method to delay him and buy time for himself to escape.
It won't take long. As long as he can find other Slytherin students, Kyle will not be able to do anything to him.
With a flash of light on the wand, Malfoy turned and ran.
"Armor protection!"
Kyle calmly waved his wand, and a transparent shield appeared in front of him, rebounding Malfoy's spell.
The next second.
"Plop..."
Malfoy, who was running away, fell to the ground, and his legs seemed to be locked by something, tightly together.
At this time, Crabbe and Goyle finally reacted.
Seeing Malfoy groaning on the ground, they rushed over with fists waved without saying a word.
Fred and George stood up at the same time, but before they could do anything, Kyle threw a few licorice candies at them.
The brown candies twisted in the air, and in the blink of an eye they turned into several thin ropes, tying Crabbe and Goyle tightly.
"Stop!"
A shout came from not far away, and several Slytherin students were looking at them angrily.
The noise here was so loud that it naturally attracted the attention of many people, including many Slytherin students.
"Kyle, you dare to bully our freshmen!"
They recognized Draco Malfoy lying on the ground and treated him as one of their own.
That was Malfoy, of course he was a Slytherin.
The fourth-year student walking in front, after recognizing Malfoy's identity, he raised his wand without saying anything.
"Hanging bell!"
"Armor protector!"
The transparent shield appeared again, but unfortunately, the opponent was not a rookie like Malfoy, and was not hit by the rebounded spell.
Kyle stopped several people who wanted to help and said seriously: "Although your sneak attack is shameless, I still accept your challenge."
His voice was very loud, and the little wizards around who were watching the excitement all heard it very clearly.
"Challenge us? Don't make a joke."
The leading Slytherin student sneered: "You are just lucky to save a waste, so you picked up a special contribution award for the school for free. Don't you really think you are so powerful?
Anyone who dares to provoke us Slytherins will pay the price!"
As he said, he raised his wand again.
Kyle looked at him with admiration and silently gave him a thumbs up.
Dare to say that Connor is a waste in front of so many people... This guy really doesn't take Snape seriously.
Based on this courage, it's a pity that he didn't go to Gryffindor.
Of course, admiration is admiration, Kyle can't just stand still and let him hit him.
After still using the Shield Charm to block the opponent's attack, Kyle raised his hand and cast two spells.
"Weak!"
"Hanging Bell!"
The Slytherin wanted to learn from Kyle and use the Shield Charm to block, but as soon as he raised his wand, he felt his feet soften and stumbled involuntarily.
The Shield Charm was interrupted before it could take shape, and Kyle's Hanging Bell Charm just hit him in the face.
In just a moment, he was hung upside down on the roof of the car, and then a sharp long needle suddenly stopped in front of his eyes.
"I advise you not to move." Kyle said lightly: "Otherwise you will spend the first day of school in the school hospital."
Without Kyle's special instructions, the other party had already quieted down. He looked at the long needle in front of him and didn't even dare to breathe.
Then, Kyle walked up to Malfoy, who looked dazed, and asked, "Can we talk now?"
"I'm not afraid of you."
Although he was trembling all over, Malfoy still said with his neck stiff, "If you blackmail me, I will tell Professor Snape."
"I've said it before, it's just a normal claim."
Kyle took out a stack of maps from behind and placed them on the ground.
There were ten in total, all of which were made of gold-threaded parchment, and none of them were complete.
Kyle picked up one at random, pointed at the narrow opening on it, and said, "Because you suddenly smashed the door, my spell went wrong, and all the maps I just made were destroyed. I asked you for compensation, which is reasonable, right?"
"But they are not worth 200 Galleons!"
Malfoy said angrily, "It's just a few pieces of parchment. The two Galleons I gave you before are enough to compensate ten times."
"No, no, no, you see clearly."
Kyle slapped the map in front of Malfoy and said seriously, "Look carefully, this piece of parchment is already worth one Galleon.
In addition, look at the pattern on the top, which is woven with unicorn hair, and the gems used for embellishment around it are from fire crabs.
Each of these fine maps is worth a lot of money, and charging you 200 Galleons is already the cost price."
When Kyle spoke, Cedric and others behind him all bit their lips tightly, with very serious expressions.
Malfoy was also stunned. He reached out and touched it, and found that the pattern was indeed unicorn hair.
He has a tapestry made of unicorn tail hair at home, and it feels exactly the same as this one.
Kyle was right, this map is indeed valuable.
Malfoy's heart sank, and he said hurriedly: "Then, then you can use the repair spell!
It only takes a simple spell, and they will become as good as new. If you don't know how, I can..."
"Repair spell? Are you kidding."
He was interrupted by Kyle before he finished speaking.
"This is the most high-end product in our Hogwarts School Magic Items Shop. It's for sale. You actually asked me to use the repair spell?"
Malfoy was startled by Kyle's sudden outburst, and he stammered, "Yes, is there any problem?"
Kyle frowned and asked seriously, "Do you know what a high-end product is? It can't have any flaws, even if it's just a slight bump, let alone such a long crack.
And when we do business, the most important thing is integrity. We will never sell a damaged product to others, even if it has been repaired.
This is the bottom line of a conscientious store, and it is also responsible for all those who have bought our products."
...
Kyle said it with confidence.
Malfoy sat there sluggishly. Somehow, he felt that Kyle's words were right.
Even the Slytherins around him were stunned...
Gradually, the anger towards Kyle in some people's eyes dissipated a lot, and they turned to look at Malfoy thoughtfully.
Malfoy, who became the focus of the crowd, was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Two hundred Galleons, right?"
"That's right." Kyle nodded.
Malfoy took a badge from his collar without saying a word, and handed it to Kyle together with his wallet.
"I only brought 150 Galleons this time, and I'll give you the rest in two days.
This Quidditch champion commemorative badge worth 100 Galleons is collateral."
He didn't agree before just because he didn't want to be blackmailed. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, he has nothing to say. Although 200 Galleons are not a small amount, it's just a matter of writing a letter to his family.
Kyle took what Malfoy handed over, but only accepted the wallet. As for the badge, he just took a look and returned it.
Vracha Eagles... What a rubbish team.
"No need for collateral." Kyle said lightly: "I believe that the Malfoy family will not have the kind of people who ruin the family honor."
"Of course!" Malfoy straightened his chest, and his impression of Kyle improved a lot in his heart.
As expected of someone who won the Special Contribution Award for the school in the first grade, he has a good vision.
