Chapter 203: 203. Liar, liar, pants on fire.

"MEOWOWOW..."

It was 6 in the morning. Chad the fat cat now had a new sleeping habit. This made him fall asleep at 8 in the evening and wake up at 6 in the morning. It was all fine till now, but then he needed to go poop as soon as he woke up. For this, someone needed to open the window.

"Argh... Fine fine... I will open it." Magnus tiredly got up and went to the window.

"Go," he pushed Chad out of the house. He wanted to sleep more but seeing sunlight outside he didn't feel comfortable doing that.

Summer was still sleeping on her perch though. He went to her and scratched her head before leaving, letting her sleep.

He went to the kitchen and found the Nurse working there. Abe and George now disguised themselves as ordinary human chefs, just short in height but with long noses and ears.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Magnus asked her lazily.

She meekly replied, "I was preparing Ma'am's breakfast. It must be perfectly healthy, filled with all necessary minerals the body needs."

~She won't need them as long as Ragnar is here.~ he thought.

"That's good. When do you wake up?" He inquired.

"At 5 in the morning, sir." She answered as if it was a job interview.

"Good good, are you satisfied with your job at the royal palace? What if a better opportunity came, will you go there?" He questioned.

"I love my job. It's the best... I get..."

Magnus rolled his eyes, knowing she was lying. "Just tell me the truth."

"It's tiring, sir. I want to go home every day after a shift. But at the palace, I have to stay all the time. I don't like this, it's tiring. They don't pay me so well either.

"At the start, I wanted to gain some experience. But even now when I have experience, I fear if I quit nobody will hire me." She answered honestly.

Magnus understood her problems in life. "Don't worry. Just a heads-up. A new mega-hospital is being set up near Richmond Park. Try it there, I'm sure they will need a lot of healthcare staff."

After that, he started reading the paper. On the first page was the horrendous news about the country. That even though Britain became a member of the ECC, the inflation was getting bigger.

Soon, he ate his breakfast and went outside to his office. It was in the same building as MEDA and Tonk & Tonks. His office was lavish and on the top floor. It was a big corner office with big windows.

The first meeting was with a lot of Executive rankings of all his companies. They were Medtronic, Pfizer, Daily Mart, Chrysler Building Management office and a few more.

Magnus went into the conference hall. Initially, when he entered, most of them did not recognise him and just ignored him. But a few of them stood up. When Magnus took the seat they all got serious, some making embarrassed faces. He may be tall but his face still looks young and those who had not seen him before did not expect their boss to be so young.

"Let's be quick and to the point. This meeting today was called to analyse all your performance and accordingly reward you. But first, let's talk about the negatives. I have caught 2 executives from Medtronic selling secret information to outside companies for money. Their accounts were audited and now they are in jail for Industrial espionage, other than this, cases have also been filed against the companies they were working with.

"Next, two more executives are now in jail. They were part of Chrysler Building Management. They were found illegally renting office spaces in the building and pocketing the money.

"Pfizer is a new company so I couldn't find any wrongdoers there yet, but I hope the process of integrating Pfizer and Medtronic with my new super hospital is going smoothly. Both of these two companies will also have a presence in the medical college, so you can find talent or capitalise on any new invention or idea that some students might come up with. Now tell me about all your concerns." Magnus asked them after scaring them with the criminal cases he caught.

To be honest, each person sitting in this room had some dirt on them. All that mattered was how big it was. Theft of a hundred pounds by calling some personal expense a company expense was fine, but when you add more than three zeroes, that's when the problem comes.

The CEO of Pfizer raised his hand, "Sir, we have been facing losses ever since we started the merger with Medtronic. We hope that you will allow some extra funds this time to research a new drug for the liver."

"Hmm, I will do that. But if even one pound is wasted on something else then I will take the money back from your pocket. I am granting 8 million pounds for your research." Magnus decided and wrote some things in his notebook.

Just after that, the CEO of Medtronic raised his hand, "Sir, I also had a request. I do not need the money, but something else we are trying to develop"

"What is it?" Magnus inquired. He had already given them a patent approval to make and sell Grace's invented stents, and the company was already making millions in profits.

"We are trying to make an improved pacemaker. You see, we have had a Lithium battery Pacemaker since 1969. But they are not very efficient and have a risk of the battery going haywire. The current pacemakers aren't good enough as they do not account for the atrium or upper chamber of the heart. But, even if we want to improve them, they are going to require more energy, which means bigger batteries..."

Magnus instantly understood what they wanted. "Fine, I will give you my dad's batteries. But you will not be developing them. You will still have to order and buy them from my manufacturing company. Of course, you will get a slight discount on them."

The CEO was very happy. If they could monopolise on this market, they can make billions. And his own bonus will be big. In the end, everyone in the room was working for money after all.

"Anything else?" Magnus inquired. It was nearing his time to go and meet the others.

"Umm... sir, DailyMart is having a problem managing all its warehouses and it's costing us too much time which increases the delivery time." Freya, the 40% owner of DailyMart, spoke.

"Contact FuterTek Industries and they will set us up with some computers with a warehouse management program and also some barcode scanners. It will make it easy to count the items as well, as long as you feed their correct number when they arrive in the store." He ordered.

With that, he stopped the meeting. There was nobody worth promoting here. Maybe Freya, but she was too slow in making decisions sometimes.

He sent everyone away and went to his personal office. Tom, Ted, Adrian, Edgar and Bobby were present there, talking and laughing. They were all cool with each other and didn't need to keep a professional mindset.

"How's everyone?" He asked.

"We're good, Magnus. What happened? Why did you ask us here?" They inquired.

But Magnus suddenly made a serious and angry face, "It's your highness for you all."

The mood turned tense and everyone looked at each other's faces. Wondering if all the power and money finally got to Magnus' head, making him a pampered young master.

Edgar Bones decided to go with it, "You H-highness... w-we were..."

"BWAHAHAHA... look at all your faces. So frightened. Scared like little kittens..." Magnus burst into laughter all of a sudden.

Everyone else also sighed. It was a relief to see the goofy Magnus.

"Okay, I have brought a new lie detector machine here with me. It can sense the pattern in our voices and tell us if we're lying. Dad brought it home from the defence lab yesterday." Magnus said and put a big box in the middle of the table.

"Why don't you try it? Adrian, is this your real name?" Magnus asked.

Adrain agreed, "Yes, it's my real name."

*Liar, liar, pants on fire.* the box sounded and lit a red light.

Ted tried it next, "I am the best lawyer in the world."

*TING* the box lit the green light.

"Bobby, you can try it too," Magnus suggested.

Bobby nodded and spoke, "My name is Bobby."

*TING* the box showed the green light.

Bobby's brows creased, "This... my name is not Bobby. This is broken."

Magnus laughed, "Haha, it's not the machine's fault. You truly believe your name is Bobby with full confidence, that's why it can't tell you were lying."

Bobby's face was still not happy. He never liked being called Bobby in public. The name made him feel like he was a pimp or something.

"Anyway, today I asked you all to come here because I want your help in containing the worsening condition of the news media. They have lost their ethics and use question marks too much. I am not against freedom of the press, I am against them getting full freedom to write anything without fact-checking." Magnus started the meeting's agenda.

"What do you mean by question marks?" Bobby inquired.

Magnus thought for an example, "Well, I have noticed that these days that the news media, be it televised or paper, they put question marks at the end of a statement, to get away with it. For example, they can write "The queen is bored with her work?" Most people do not read that last question mark and believe the news. While these news houses get away with it and make money, it permanently destroys the image of the person.

"How would you feel if they wrote badly about you? For example, what if one day it wrote, 'Brandon Steel Armstrong still wets his bed?'"

"HEY! I don't wet my bed!" Bobby protested. This was against his honour.

*Liar, liar, pants on fire.*

"Pfft..." Magnus snorted, trying to hold his laughter.

"HAHAHA..." But others didn't hold back.

Chapter 204: 204. MAY WE PROSPER!

"WHAT IS THIS? This machine is garbage. I don't wet my bed. I stopped doing that even before you." Bobby protested.

Magnus howled in laughter, "Haha, my brother Bobby. Calm down, this box is not real. I was just pulling your leg. Did you really think technology has advanced so much it can wirelessly read our minds? But now you understand how you would feel about fake news, right?"

Tom agreed as he had faced this recently. "They did it with me not long ago. The headline said, "Superintendent Tom in cahoots with the criminals?" Because I was solving cases too fast."

Bobby nodded. The others did the same. This question mark was indeed a big problem.

"What is your plan? And why was I invited? I just run a construction company," Edgar sounded confused.

"The common thing among us is that we're all knowledgeable about the magical world. To us, solving problems has a different route. For this, I gathered you all. And Edgar, I have another reason to invite you. We'll talk about that later." Magnus explained and continued.

"I want all of you to start investing in all the major media houses. Not just in Britain but in all western countries, especially those that speak English. We won't stop them from reporting about us but we're gonna need some straightforward facts instead of vague questions. Meanwhile, I will do the same but on a larger scale. In the end, with all of us combined, we will have enough power to change their business practices.

"Recently, I've been seeing some very bad articles about my parents, who are the kindest people I know. Maliciously hurting their image will not be very good. Adrian, what happened to the investigation I asked you to do?" He inquired.

Adrian took out a file from his bag and handed it to him. "This is the person. He's a noble, and currently dating your royal aunt."

~Ah, here comes the stupid family politics.~ Magnus sighed in frustration.

"Any motives found?" He inquired.

"None. He seems to be after you just because he can. Or maybe his girlfriend is making him do it. Only you can find this out." Adrian said, shrugging off his responsibilities. He didn't want to meddle with the royal family.

"Fine, I will deal with that later. What about you, Edgar? What project have you taken?" Magnus asked.

Edgar notified multiple one's, "Well, the extension of tube tunnels is going on. We had to buy two tunnel boring machines to cover up our magical work. We're also building a new government office building. We're getting too many projects these days because of our speed. So we just choose the highest paying ones."

Magnus nodded in satisfaction, "Good, make sure you gather enough experience and increase the workforce. I have planned a mega project for the future and our company will be making it.

"Tom, what about you? How is your work going? How many more cases until the next promotion?"

"I don't know. There are no criteria for the number of cases that need to be solved for promotions." Tom said.

"Then we'll spend some money and make the news outlets talk more about you." Magnus decided.

They continued to talk for 2 hours. They came up with plans to get richer, more influential and powerful.

In the end, Magnus came to the last and the most important part.

For the past 2 years now, he had been looking for people to start the Order of Merlin. The Round Table was already selected, but the order was still a dream.

Now, he had decided to take the first step forward to his dream with these men.

"Tom, Adrian, Ted and Edgar. What are your thoughts about the current state of the world? Magical one too." He asked them.

Bobby straightened his back, expecting what was to come. He was excited to be honest.

Tom relaxed in his seat, "It's not good, that's given. Humans lack humanity now. But I think we were always like this, just because now we have news media, we are seeing all this. I do sure hope that someday people can be less destructive and more cooperative. I don't know about the magical world."

"It's the same." Ted started.

"I'm myself a victim of blood supremacists. My wife still fears that someday they will come after her and me. I hope someday we can rise above these petty disputes and look for a better future. I mean, look at what Magnus has done with a handful of wizards coming together, can't imagine if the whole wizardkind started to do it." Ted said in a hopeful tone.

Bobby nodded continuously, "I bet our planet would look like those in science fiction."

"But why are you asking us all this?" Adrian asked. Being an ex-auror, he knew all this was leading to somewhere.

Magnus took out a few documents from his bag. They were written in old English and the pages were also of unusual thickness.

These were handmade by Magnus and had magic in them. They were delicately made with the help of runes inlaid on them. Merlin had taught him to make these with the help of the old book.

It wasn't something overpowering. There was no such thing as a Magical Binding Contract. This paper does only one thing. If the signatory breaks it, Magnus will be notified. This way he can at least take countermeasures at the quickest.

The four read them, taking their time. Magnus spoke at the same time. "It might sound strange but I am still well connected with Merlin. I won't tell how, but know that I can talk to him. And we realised that we share the same dream. Which is the betterment of all beings on this planet.

"For exactly this purpose, he had formed the Order of Merlin a thousand years ago. But slowly or let's say knowingly, all the people who opposed him erased the genuine purpose of this Order. These powerful people were against everything Merlin stood for. Equality, charity, humanity, all these were foreign concepts to these people drowned in greed.

"And now, Order of Merlin is just a small medal that isn't even that symbolic anymore, since you can buy it."

"Why do you think you can do what Merlin couldn't?" Ted inquired in good faith.

Magnus replied, "Merlin started late. He had many things to deal with as those times required his attention in multiple places. I am different, I have started early and all my dreams are a sub-part of this goal.

"I have once again, created the Order of Merlin. It's not the same as the ministry, it just has the same name. But let's call this the main Order, for now, a secretive order. Our goal is simple. To achieve peace and harmony in both magical and muggle worlds. Use magic, technology and intelligence to help the world move forward. Stop wars, bring peace, as simple as that.

"And for starters, I want you four to join me. Bobby, Ragnar, Severus Snape are already members. I am very selective and careful in choosing people. Now I have decided on you four because I think I understand you.

"Now to what you will get in return. For your services, you will have all the resources of the Order and my personal assistance in achieving your life dreams. You can decline too if you don't feel comfortable." Magnus explained to them in great detail, not leaving anything out.

*WOOSH*

Adrian in an instant signed the document, leaving everyone else in shock.

*Blink Blink"

Adrian chuckled, "I love my job, and if joining the Order can make my job go international, and also be able to use my ability for the betterment of the world, I'll be very content with my life.

"Other than this, I trust you, Magnus. You saved my life and helped me start this new one. I will not forget your kindness, because I know the kind of person you are."

Ted signed it next. "Being a part of the Order of Merlin? The real one? I will be basically a part of History now. Not to mention, I have already achieved my life's dream. Now if I can do something for the world, that's the cherry on top. And I think if I don't sign this my wife is never going to let me enter the house."

"Haha... I need to come to your house and meet Mrs Tonks and your daughter. I always wonder about the person you fear so much." Magnus planned.

"Amazing, I can't wait for her to become your biggest fan and scold me more." Ted sarcastically said.

Next, Tom also signed. "I didn't really have many dreams and wishes. But I like the feeling of helping people. And now that you have helped me reach this rank, I can help people more and on a bigger level."

Only Edgar was left. But he signed it too. His reasoning was simple. "I joined you to help and save the Muggleborn wizards in the first place. By doing this, I'll be achieving my goal anyway. I also like my current work. Who knew construction could be so much fun."

Magnus happily collected the papers and snapped his finger. Abe instantly appeared with lots of drinks.

"Then let's celebrate, the creation of the Order of Merlin. MAY WE PROSPER!"

Everyone lifted their glasses, "MAY WE PROSPER!"

And so, history was created that day. With the formation of the first generation of the 'real' Order of Merlin.
