章節 229: 229. Mighty Grant Family
"What do you mean by bringing down the government, how can you do something so complex?" Adam questioned him in disbelief.
Ragnar chuckled, "Dad, we're wizards. Magic is wonderful."
Not being so vague, Magnus explained, "Well, dad my companies and our country are heavily invested in Africa and the well being of the people there. But the government of South Africa practises apartheid and it has divided the country.
"Because of a few people there, the whole European white population will be shamed, and when later we will go to Africa for some projects it will become problematic due to the hate. So, I have devised a plan to bring down the government and set up a new one with people of all races being in power. Actually, you should be getting the news soon. Oh, they are also developing nukes so that's there too."
Magnus' grandpa rested back, "Of all the things I had imagined, I never thought my grandson would one day be powerful enough to topple governments."
Magnus chuckled, "Don't worry grandpa, I will be much stronger by the time I take the throne."
The old man took a cold breath. Everyone was still sitting in the living room, the nurse was given a holiday today. Magnus was waiting for the evening so he could go out to see that goblin who lived in Nottingham with his family. That locality was famous for the residence of many wizards.
"Oh, dear I just remembered, I created something new, it can help a lot of people as long as it's mass-produced and is kept available at a cheap price. It can especially help people in poor countries with bad hygiene." Grace suddenly spoke.
Magnus worryingly responded, "Mum, why are you working so much, you know you shouldn't stress yourself. And what did you make? I hope it won't make you too busy."
"Well, it's called Oral rehydration solution. As every physician knows, cholera kills by means of copious fluid loss in the form of diarrhoea. Currently, the way to treat someone with cholera is to have an intravenous solution injection that is needed to rehydrate all patients infected with cholera. But, in poor countries, such injections are not available in large quantity and many people die from this.
"So, I worked to hammer out the formulation and successful administration of oral rehydration therapy. I discovered that glucose enhances the absorption of sodium and water across the intestinal brush-border membrane without causing morphological changes in the gut epithelium of patients with cholera. It was key to the successful development of oral rehydration therapy.
"Based on this discovery, I created a successful rehydration solution. Right now, as I read in the news, thousands of starving Bangladeshi refugees are living in refugee camps due to the war. There is a fear that a cholera epidemic could ensue. 30% of patients who contracted cholera in these camps die within a few days. So I want to help them and send these solutions there. The oral rehydration solution replaces the water and electrolytes lost in vomiting and diarrhoea and helps heal the body quicker. I estimate that with this formula mortality in the camps can be reduced to be less than 1%." Grace enthusiastically babbled.
(°ー°")
Magnus quickly hugged her and replied, "Although I know a good amount of biology this is way too advanced for me, so I have no idea what you said, but I know that my lovely mum is the best and the greatest. I will tell a company to mass-produce it, don't worry."
"You can also publicise it on the news and gain more love from the people. I'm worried some people might start a cult to pray to mum." Ragnar commented.
Although he was joking, Magnus indeed thought about it. Seeing how much death and despair was around the world, it wouldn't be a surprise if they started to pray to Grace seeing her as an anchor of mental support.
Just then Magnus remembered something. Emrys Construction would be creating railway lines, and in the future, he would need to create high-speed railways too.
"Dad, can you also research a high powered high-speed train engine? For now, it can run on diesel, but the prospect of it being updated to run on electricity will be good. Emrys Construction will be building train lines in Saudi Arabia, and I would like to sell train engines and coaches too, it will become a full package." Magnus asked. If his dad agreed, he could buy an existing loss-making train company and hand it over to his dad.
Adam fell into thinking, "Hmm, I am nearly done with my car, next I am hiring some researchers to keep on updating it as more technology is discovered or improved. I can certainly try to develop an engine, since it'll be used in western Asia, it will need to be able to handle extreme temperatures. It'll be challenging... I'll do it.
"Ah, I didn't tell you, I am creating a Research and Development company related to transport technology. It will be called XtreamTech."
Magnus was happy, "Why make a new one? I will just buy an existing company which produces train engines and hand it to you. I will also send someone to Japan to get the blueprints of their Bullet Train. It may help you jump the basics."
"Amazing... I will be waiting for them. I'm going to go and draw some blueprints." Adam got up to leave. But he stopped midway.
He knew that his family had changed so much. Before he was only worried about his job and family, now there was so much else. His family was rich, famous and smarter than ever. And he knew it was all because of Magnus. He wasn't complaining as he loved this new change, but he felt there was something missing.
"Magnus, next year we will go on a vacation. Us whole family, you chose the destination." He said.
Magnus and Ragnar beamed with joy, "Really? YES! I will make the perfect plan then."
Magnus took the lead, "We will also have our sister with us."
"BROTHER! We will have our little brother with us." Ragnar argued. Despite their brotherhood, this was one topic they didn't agree upon. There was a wedge between them.
Grace laughed, "Calm down you two. No matter what gender, it will be your sibling, so you should love them unconditionally."
Magnus nodded, "Yes mum, of course, we will love our new sibling unconditionally. But a man can dream, right?"
"Man? I see no man here, only a nagging little boy." Ragnar barked.
Magnus smiled back, "Is that so? Remind me, who was it that got the whole school stoned?"
"WHAT? What do you mean stoned?" Grace perked up.
Ragnar sweated a little, he looked Magnus in the eye and whispered, "Are you sure? I will tell her about Emma, hehe... she's your girlfriend."
Magnus shrugged, "Go ahead, they already tease me about her, nothing will change."
Ragnar found himself at a loss for words and means to berate Magnus more. In the end, he stomped his feet and went back to his seat. It was his loss this time. ~I'll get him next time.~
"Sir, it's time for you to go to the dinner invitation." Abe came to remind him.
Looking at the watch, he got up and waved his wand to fix his clothes, "Mum, I will be going to Nottingham, someone from Gringotts invited me there for dinner."
Concerned, Grace asked, "Are you going alone?"
"No, I am taking some people from MEDA with me, they're all wizards so don't worry," he assured her and went out with Abe. From there, they teleported away.
...
Magnus had already called MEDA to send some security men for him, he didn't want to take chances as there could be a hidden ambush waiting for him.
Hence, he went in prepared, with spare wands ready and his sword waiting to be let out.
He arrived at the old looking but neatly painted house. It was not like the magical houses, ill-shaped. He went to the door and knocked on it. He still had no idea why this head warrior goblin wanted to meet him.
He waited, some noise was coming from inside, the voice of a young boy.
The doorknob twisted and the door opened. Magnus saw the goblin, he was wearing normal clothes, a shirt and a pant. He looked a bit less grumpy than other goblins but he had scars on his face.
The goblin performed a slight bow, "Your Majesty, welcome to my house. I am the head warrior goblin of Gringotts, Zenrok. Please come inside."
