-----

Three days later, Tom was startled when he opened the doors of the Leaky Cauldron.

There was a long queue at the door of the Leaky Cauldron, and everyone couldn't wait to squeeze in when they saw Tom open the door.

Last night, Dobby sent the first batch of Gwent cards that had been made.

Luna and Dobby finally drew the whole set of Gwent cards and then borrowed the printing press of "The Quibbler" to print the first batch of Gwent cards at a breakneck speed, a total of 100 sets, and each person was limited to one purchase. 

To prevent the panic caused by Voldemort of the Death Eater deck, Ethan changed Voldemort to You-Know-Who and set Voldemort's appearance as a shadowy outline.

However, the wizards whom the 500 Galleons had already carried away felt slightly inappropriate when they looked at the Death Eater deck. Tempted by the 500 Galleons, they were not in the mood to investigate.

One hundred sets of Gwent cards were sold out in minutes. The wizards who bought the Gwent cards quickly hid them and left the scene. They had already made an appointment with the wizards who also purchased the Gwent cards to hone them together—a grand prize for a good sprint.

Those who had not bought them scratched their ears and cheeks angrily and anxiously asked Tom when new goods would be available.

The wizards who didn't get the Gwent cards left the Leaky Cauldron indignantly after Tom said there would be a hundred more sets to sell the next day.

For several days in a row, the Leaky Cauldron Bar's business has been perfect. It is almost always filled with wizards sitting face to face, scratching their heads, and honing their card skills.

Some wizards were figuring out how to play with a deck of cards in their hands, while wealthy wizards bought several decks of cards and began to consider deck combinations.

Tom hasn't closed his mouth these days and has been laughing wildly. Ethan could even see the tongue sticking out from his mouth.

Tom's business was at its highest; his liquor was in short supply, and the cellar was running dry.

And Ethan also made a lot of money. The new Gwent brand, produced daily, was in short supply and would always be sold out.

The printing press ran at full speed day and night, and Mr. Lovegood even suggested selling 200 sets daily.

But Ethan rejected it decisively.

'Only limited quantities could inspire everyone's desire to buy.'

For a time, almost the entire British magic circle talked about the Gwent Grand Prix, which recently became the most discussed thing.

The wizards initially looking to challenge the 500 Galleon award also discovered the fun of the Gwent card by accident and became fascinated by it.

Many more famous wizards even found their image on Gwent cards.

Some wizards thought it was funny and laughed.

However, some very severe and old-fashioned wizards, such as Barty Crouch, director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department, were angry as their images were used for entertainment.

Moreover, Barty Crouch Jr. was on the Death Eater's deck.

Barty Crouch decided this was simply the worst insult to the Crouch family.

He angrily went to the Leaky Cauldron to stop Tom from continuing to sell Gwent cards, but Tom told him that he was only selling them.

He didn't tell Barty Crouch, who was behind the Gwent cards.

After rummaging through the British Ministry of Magic law, an exasperated Barty Crouch even tried suing the mysterious maker.

This mysterious maker's actions turned out to be entirely legal, and the Ministry of Magic has no legal provisions against it.

That is to say, as long as the producer wants, he could make Gwent cards in the image of anyone.

The discovery made Barty Crouch's teeth precarious, and he angrily applied to the Minister for Magic Fudge to change this part of the law.

As a result, he only received the evaluation of Fudge: "I don't know what to do."

Barty Crouch gritted his teeth and looked at Fudge's "I don't know" four typing, feeling that this was Fudge's provocation and ridicule to him.

Of course, Fudge was aware of the recent buzz about the Gwent Grand Prix, and he even kept a deck of Gwent cards on his desk.

Ethan deliberately designed the image of Fudge in the Gwent card to be tall and stalwart, which looks quite positive.

Fudge was quite satisfied with his image, believing it was a subtle propaganda of his positive image.

At the same time, this Gwent card also subtly humiliated Barty Crouch.

Fudge collected Barty Crouch Jr.'s cards and looked at them whenever he felt down.

What Fudge hated most at the Ministry of Magic was Barty Crouch, who had been running against Fudge since he missed out on being Minister of Magic.

No matter what Fudge put forward, Barty Crouch would sneer and object in the back. Fudge had to wait to dismiss Barty Crouch as the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department immediately.

But Barty Crouch has deep roots in the Ministry of Magic and is tough to shake, so Fudge hates Barty Crouch's teeth, which he has always hated.

He thought Barty Crouch looked down on him.

So the Gwent card was just in time, and every time someone mentions the Gwent card, it seems to remind others of the ridiculous things Barty Crouch Jr. did in the past.

Therefore, Fudge disagreed with Barty Crouch's so-called amendment to the law and could not wait to nail Barty Crouch to the pillar of shame forever.

From the beginning to the end, Ethan never showed up. Except for Lovegoods, Dobby, and Tom, no one knew that Ethan created the Gwent cards.

The Grand Prix was fast approaching, and Tom had to prepare liquor several times for the "grand event."

Small square tables were replaced with long wooden tables to save space.

When Tom opened the door, the crowd filled the bar, full of players eager to win big and many to watch.

Ethan and Tonks also squeezed into the crowd, watching the lively. He did not participate in this competition. After all, the matter of him being the creator of Gwent would be public sooner or later.

If he wins this competition, it would significantly impact his reputation.

Tonks was a little dissatisfied that Ethan set their first date at this noisy place. She expected the date to be in a more romantic place.

But when he learned that Ethan was the boss behind the Gwent card, Tonks was speechless and quickly assumed the role of the proprietress. She began to feel distressed about the 500 galleons Ethan spent.

But after learning that Ethan had earned 800 galleons from selling cards, Tonks immediately put on her adoring eyes again.

The game started as scheduled. Tom was very good at hosting it. He fully aroused the audience's emotions and uniquely explained the game.

Ethan accidentally discovered Mr. Lovegood among the players. He looked like he was wandering in the sky, but he played poker ruthlessly.

In a brutal knockout, the last two contestants gave birth to Mr. Lovegood and Mr. Ollivander, the wand maker.

The two had a brutal duel. Luna stood in the audience and encouraged her father. Ultimately, Mr. Lovegood defeated Ollivander with the Fantastic Beasts deck.

After winning the grand prize of 500 galleons, there were cheers on the spot, and everyone watched with envy as Tom labored to put a substantial galleon sachel in Mr. Lovegood's arms.

Mr. Lovegood happily shook the big bag of galleons and greeted Ethan with a crisp and pleasant jingle, which made everyone even more envious.

In short, this Gwent Grand Prix, which touched everyone's hearts, finally ended.
