"I see," Douglas said, glancing somewhat sarcastically at the "execution order" he held in his hand, and then at the magical battle that was nearing its end in the vault—the goblins wanted him dead, while the wizards wanted to save him.
"Is this also part of your plan, Mr. Liaos?"
With Douglas's question, all the goblins present turned to look at the old goblin they had never been able to see through, and fell into silence. After a long while, Liaos sighed and shook his head.
"Plan? No... This is the fate of Gringotts goblins."
Liaos lightly tapped the parchment filled with the signatures of thirteen goblin elders with his fingertip, his tone somewhat weary.
"Whether it's the goblin elder council, or the general trend of this world, all I can do is guess, predict, and prepare for the worst in advance—unfortunately, most of these preparations have come into play. If there are no surprises, this is the last time goblins will fight for equality and freedom."
"Sounds somewhat tempting..."
Douglas took out his last cigar from his pocket, scratched it with his fingernail, produced a few magical sparks to light it, and leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke. The misty white smoke quickly dissipated, enveloping him and Liaos.
"But what is the price?"
The voice echoed in the smoke, as if encountering some invisible barrier.
"All of this, the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank!"
Feeling the smoke swirling around him, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Liaos's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Times have changed. The decadent goblin elder council can no longer allow us to continue. Goblins must make some changes. I hope you can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swallow Gringotts from the inside out."
"If we have you cooperating from the inside, coupled with external funding, it wouldn't be difficult..."
Facing Liaos's burning gaze, Douglas raised his eyebrows noncommittally and asked somewhat puzzled.
"However, if we choose this path, what difference is there between us and the traitors in America who have surrendered to the wizards? It's just changing our allegiance, and we still can't escape the fate of being slaves."
"No, you only pledge allegiance to Elena Kaslana."
Liaos grinned, raised his finger and shook it gently, and said meaningfully.
"When we meet again, I hope you can bring back to Gringotts and the goblins an absolute dictator, a queen, rather than a fragmented, contentious, complex human force."
"You said...let a human wizard become the Queen of Gringotts?"
"Over the years, no one has been more suitable than her. Protected by both Grindelwald and Dumbledore, controlling the power to mobilize thousands of wizards, lightly manipulating wealth enough to subvert a continent. Most importantly, she is younger, crazier, and has a greater chance to change the world than anyone else. As for what you're worried about..."
The old goblin coughed lightly, thoughtfully pinching the light pink lady's wallet in his hand.
"Jealousy, greed, suspicion, fear... these are the things we've seen when dealing with most humans over the centuries. The Veela blood that flows in her other half will inevitably become the focus of attacks at some point. Inevitably—"
A dangerous smile appeared on Liaos's face, and his voice became lighter and lighter.
"To protect herself, she only has two choices: stand with us and use the divided wizarding forces to fight against wizards, or...become a true queen."
The smoke dissipated, and Liaos took the initiative to end the conversation.
Rational and intelligent people know how to change themselves to adapt to the environment, only those stupid and crazy guys try to change the environment to adapt to themselves, but history has always been created by the latter.
He was too old. Instead of shamelessly competing with young people for that ticket to the new world, he might as well stay in this crumbling wooden building, smash the dangerous horizontal timbers that had been eaten away, and let the flames burn more brightly.

Most of the wizards who infiltrated Gringotts came from the elites who had been stationed at the Nikolaev Shipyard not long ago.
Apart from Gilderoy Lockhart, who temporarily joined the "Destiny Group," all of them were old soldiers of the magical world who had experienced the first wizarding war, and their loyalty and ability were beyond doubt.
According to Elena's classification, they were roughly at the top of Hogwarts' professor-level.
Even the once unreliable Lockhart, after three months of high-intensity magical practice and the repeated training of dozens of old wizards, now seemed like a completely different person, with a friendly smile that radiated a confidence and efficiency that he had never had before.
Therefore, as soon as the attack signal was sent, the unprepared Gringotts goblin guards and executives were completely controlled by the wizards with magic before they could even put up any decent resistance.
Thanks to the secrecy of the past few months, before Lockhart could even speak, the wizards had already consciously begun to clean up the traces of battle, isolate the external alarms, and then gathered together to discuss the false memories that should be implanted, as well as the location of the time periods that needed to be erased. The whole process was smooth and without any confusion.
A moment later, Liaos and two goblin executioners left the "Goblin Prison".
In the vault behind them, a dozen "goblin corpses" that had been declared executed lay quietly on the ground. The guards who remained skillfully cleaned up the blood stains, and piled the "remains" of these prisoners together, pushing them to the fire dragon raised in the neighboring vault, which saved a small amount of meat for feeding.
Since the execution, Liaos seemed particularly silent.
After returning to the Goblin Elder Council Hall located in the heart of Gringotts and simply reporting the "cleanup work" with the two Heliobas, a group of goblin elders nodded in satisfaction, said a few words of comfort and encouragement to Liaos, and finally completely let go of the uneasiness that had been lingering in their hearts.
After this series of events, the power and influence that Liaos had left in the Venture Capital Department had been almost completely cleared. Even if this financial war was still coordinated by him, the Elder Council would no longer be unable to control the situation.
Half a day later...
In the uppermost level of Gringotts' underground vaults, in the Weasley family's vault, which was the lowest level and had no protection other than a key, a light pink lady's wallet appeared silently.
Arthur Weasley, who worked in the Ministry of Magic's Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office, did not choose to go home after get off work, but came to Gringotts in Diagon Alley through the Ministry of Magic's Floo Network. He withdrew one galleon, thirty silver sickles, and an ordinary lady's wallet from the vault. Then, he went to Flourish and Blotts next door, bought a copy of Gilderoy Lockhart's "Gilderoy Lockhart's Guide to Dealing with Household Pests", and then leisurely returned home.
