Chapter 434: 9% of Family Assets Surrendered! The Holy 28 Families Are Gone!
"Furthermore, if you want to join the White Wizard faction, you will also need to..."
Dudley's clone spoke again.
This made the surrendered wizard, who had just been cursed, look even more unpleasant.
Seeing this, Dudley's clone curled his lips into a smile, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth:
"Don't worry, this condition won't threaten your lives; it'll just cost you some insignificant material possessions."
Hearing Dudley's reassurance, the surrendered wizards breathed a sigh of relief.
They were already aware that they were only giving up a portion of their wealth.
"The condition is... that you hand over 90% of all your assets and savings, including land, houses, shops, and cash reserves!"
Dudley's clone bared its teeth and made an outrageous demand.
"How much?! How much did you say?!"
One of the surrendered wizards cried out in a hoarse voice.
They simply couldn't believe their ears.
Ninety percent?!
Doesn't this turn them from millionaires into paupers?
They said it wouldn't threaten their lives, but now they feel their blood rushing to their head and their blood pressure soaring, it's almost killing them!
This intense stimulation caused some of them to temporarily forget the horror of Dudley and they couldn't help but scream and question him.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll repeat myself: hand over 90% of your family property, which will all belong to Hogwarts as public property. How it will be distributed afterward will be decided by Headmaster Dumbledore and me."
You can refuse. If you refuse, you will be giving up your right to join the White Wizard camp. In that case, you will be Black Wizards, and Black Wizards do not deserve to live. I will send you to the world of the dead right now.
"At that time, your wealth will be confiscated, just like the Death Eaters that Headmaster Dumbledore wiped out in Azkaban, just like those who have just died, just like those Death Eaters who followed Voldemort!"
Dudley's clone stopped laughing and emphasized his meaning in an extremely cold voice.
These words were like the biting cold of winter, instantly calming the surrendered wizards down.
"Our Malfoy family fully supports Assistant Professor Dursley's decision! We will hand over 90% of our wealth, without any discount!"
Narcissa decisively took the lead in supporting Dalli's decision.
Lucius, who was standing to the side, was still somewhat reluctant, but seeing his wife's eyes, he immediately chimed in, expressing his willingness to hand over the family property.
Narcissa understood perfectly.
Putting everything else aside, the two permanent magical amulets that Dudley gave the couple, capable of fighting legendary wizards, were far more valuable than all their possessions combined.
Moreover, Dudley wanted their family fortune, and they had no right to refuse.
The Malfoy family must unconditionally obey Dudley's will; only in this way can the Malfoy family bloodline be better preserved.
Dudley's clone heard and saw the Malfoys's behavior, nodded in satisfaction, and then coldly glanced at the others.
The others immediately spoke up, expressing their willingness to accept Dali's decision.
"Equality and non-discrimination are not just a matter of ideology."
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Dudley's clone softened his tone and began to explain his intentions: "If you still control more than half of the industry and wealth of the British magical world, then equality will only remain a formality on the level of words."
The Weasleys are one of the Holy Twenty-Eight Families, just like you, but they live in poverty. You look down on them from the bottom of your hearts, let alone those poor Muggle and Half-Blood wizards.
Too much money is not good; it can easily breed arrogance and extravagance.
If you still possess a great deal of wealth, it will be difficult for you to truly understand the concept of equality and non-discrimination, and you may easily trigger the curse I just set for you, resulting in heavy losses.
You must remember, I am not trying to plunder your wealth, I am doing this for your own good, I am using your money to help you deal with a deadly hidden danger.
Instead of enjoying yourselves, let the wizards of the magical world share the joy.
Headmaster Dumbledore and I will make good use of the wealth accumulated by your ancestors to provide basic protection for the thousands of wizards in the British wizarding community.
We will no longer allow white wizards to be destitute and homeless, and we will avoid situations where they are afflicted with wolf-like symptoms and cannot even afford nourishing potions.
Furthermore, Headmaster Dumbledore and I will reward your wealth to those white wizards of high moral character and outstanding ability, so that the entire wizarding world may flourish, be full of vitality and life.
Do you think what I'm doing is a good idea?
After Dudley's clone finished speaking, he gave the surrendered wizards a gentle, toothy smile.
"Great...great...this is wonderful."
Forced by Dudley's power, the surrendered wizards had no choice but to echo him, revealing very ugly bitter smiles.
"That's right! I'm a very considerate person. Didn't I leave you 10% of the wealth?"
You corrupt pure-blood families have amassed so much wealth over the centuries. Even if you only have ten percent left, it would be enough for you to live very well.
Money is something you can't take with you to the afterlife to spend. Enough is enough; any more is just decoration in your vault. Take it easy!
Dudley's clone, beaming with delight, appeased the surrendered wizards once more.
His expression instantly changed, regaining its seriousness as he looked at the Malfoys and gave the order:
"You two will be in charge of this matter. Carefully inventory all the assets and savings of the corrupt pure-blood forces, register them all, and be responsible for the subsequent transfer and distribution of wealth."
Headmaster Dumbledore will personally intervene and provide you with the necessary support.
Dudley directly appointed the Malfoys as treasurers of Hogwarts and the entire British wizarding world.
The Malfoys were overjoyed and nodded in agreement.
Although they could not and dared not enrich themselves in this process and could not obtain any financial benefits, the fact that Dudley was able to hand over this position to them meant that the Malfoy family had been officially accepted into the core circle of the White Wizards' camp.
This is a very good sign.
"besides……"
Dudley's clone turned to face everyone again and said coldly, "From this moment on, the British magical world will no longer have the concept of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families, nor will there be any so-called nobles or pure-blood nobles in any real sense."
At the same time, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has sufficient public assets and does not need further donations from members of the Board of Trustees.
The Hogwarts Board of Governors is hereby abolished, effective immediately.
From now on, only the headmaster and faculty members approved by Hogwarts will be allowed to express their opinions and make decisions regarding all matters, large and small!
"Yes, Assistant Professor Dursley!"
This special meeting and discussion on the battlefield ended with a loud response from the Malfoys.
Dudley's clone activated the spatial teleportation ability gained from fusing with the Banner of Souls, directly teleporting the less than ten pure-blood wizards he had saved, along with five knocked-out house-elves, to the Hogwarts grounds.
The remaining 120-odd surrendered wizards who had cleaned up the mess stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses.
I also took the opportunity to imagine a future path I had never considered.
