Although London is vast, it is quite convenient for local private security companies to locate individuals. They often maintain business contacts with the police, making it easy to verify a resident's information.
A day later, Kain received a reply from the agency. There were three people of the Dursley family name: one was a bartender, another was a small building materials supplier, and the third was a train driver.
The information provided was detailed, allowing Kain to confirm the identity of the Dursley family with just a single glance. He recognized Dudley Dursley and Harry Potter mentioned in the family records of the second Dursley.
Additionally, a dentist named Granger was identified. Although many dental clinics exist in London, there was only one dentist by that name.
It took less than half a day for them to find these two families, netting him an income of 10,000 pounds. If they could encounter such generous employers every day, their private security company would surely thrive financially.
However, Hasben knew that individuals like Kain, who treated money as if it were paper, were not frequent clients; it was rare to meet three such clients in a year. Typically, they assisted nobles in tracking down wayward relatives or in locating dangerous individuals sought by the London police.
"We will have opportunities to collaborate in the future, Mr. Hasben," Kain stated. After speaking, he handed over the remaining sum and left Hasben's private security company with the documents.
Had there not been so many uncertainties in binding the world trading coordinates with common people, Kain would have opted to bind them with Hasben's company.
Common individuals are susceptible to various accidents, such as death from illness, car accidents, homicide, or even choking on water. Although the probabilities of such incidents are minimal, if they do occur, Kain would lose access to an excavable world, an irreplaceable loss.
Apart from wizards, Kain knew that both the Dursleys and the Grangers were ordinary people who would continue to thrive over the next few years.
However, the Dursleys attracted the attention of Dumbledore, and wizards were monitoring their household. If Kain were to approach them too boldly, it might draw Dumbledore's gaze.
"Let's establish a firm footing here first," Kain mused. "The Grangers are both dentists, and it seems they run a private dental clinic. They are currently looking for a new supplier of dental equipment. I didn't expect Hasben to investigate this matter so thoroughly."
After pondering for a moment, Kain suddenly devised a plan. Fortunately, he had not gone far, so he retraced his steps back to Hasben's private security company. To Hasben's surprise, Kain entrusted him with another task.
Kain planned to bind the world transaction coordinates to the Grangers. If memory served him correctly, the Grangers had lived at their current location for at least ten years.
He needed Hasben to find a dental medical equipment supplier, negotiate a contract, and rent a warehouse to store the equipment—all within a day.
In addition to covering the expenses incurred during this endeavor, Hasben's private security company would receive a remuneration of 20,000 pounds.
This was a delightful surprise for Hasben, who never imagined receiving two such lucrative contracts within two days. Although Kain's request fell outside their usual business scope, the potential profit was enticing.
They would even entertain investigating Queen Elizabeth herself if the price was right.
Given the tight timeframe Kain had requested, Hasben asked him to wait in the coffee shop downstairs for the morning while he handled the matter personally.
Money undoubtedly motivates men more than women. Near noon, Hasben arrived at the coffee shop, sweat glistening on his forehead. He handed Kain a purchase contract, a lease agreement for the warehouse, and the keys.
Kain spent over 300,000 pounds on this transaction.
After paying, Kain took the documents and keys to the warehouse, leaving the coffee shop with everything he needed. Hasben kindly assisted him in renting a commercial warehouse near the Granger Dental Clinic.
Although Hasben couldn't decipher Kain's plans, he suspected they had something to do with the clinic.
Once outside, Kain hailed a taxi and headed to the Granger Dental Clinic.
Granger Dental Clinic
The Grangers, though merely middle-class citizens in the UK, owned a small garden property and ran their own dental clinic, earning an annual income of around 70,000 pounds. They had standard working hours and, on occasion, only worked three days a week when they felt inclined.
This lifestyle placed them above 92% of the residents in the UK. If the Grangers had a bit more ambition, they could easily reside in a luxurious villa. However, they were currently facing a minor dilemma.
The equipment in their clinic required replacement, but they had recently experienced a conflict with their existing supplier. Until they found a new supplier, the dental clinic would likely have to close temporarily.
While this posed a minor inconvenience for the Granger couple, they were eager to ensure a smooth transition, especially since their daughter was preparing to enter school.
They planned to send Hermione to Eton College, and it was crucial that the dental clinic remained operational during this period.
In the afternoon, as Mrs. Granger served potato pancakes and fried fish, she tapped her plate, reminding her husband, who was engrossed in the newspaper.
"Husband, if I recall correctly, you were supposed to resolve the clinic's equipment issue today. Mrs. Hayley is scheduled to visit in just seven days."
"I know, I'll take care of it after lunch," Mr. Granger replied.
Ding dong! The doorbell rang, and since their dental office was conveniently adjacent to their home, commuting was a breeze.
"I'll answer the door," Mr. Granger said, assuming it was a regular patient. Given the equipment issues, he anticipated delivering his apologies.
Upon opening the door, however, Mr. Granger was met by a young stranger. His youthful appearance initially provoked a sense of wariness, but the genuine smile on his face put him at ease.
"Excuse me, may I help you?" Mr. Granger asked.
"Kain Pent here. I heard that Granger Dental Clinic is planning to replace its equipment, so I came to make a proposal. Would you like me to introduce myself further?"
After presenting his credentials and displaying some equipment manuals and quotations, Kain continued, "I believe I can offer you a very competitive deal."
Mr. Granger felt a surge of relief. "Oh, it must be fate! Please, come in, Mr. Pent."
He hadn't anticipated a sales visit, but the prospect of solving his equipment problem so easily was a blessing. The quotation Kain provided was approximately 15% cheaper than what he had been quoted previously.
With Kain's intentional display of goodwill, the Granger couple quickly became interested in collaborating. They visited the warehouse with Kain, finalized the transaction contract, and Kain also placed the world transaction coordinates onto Mr. Granger.
This secured a stable connection for the next few years, minimizing Kain's risk of losing a magical world due to unforeseen events.
After completing the transaction, the Grangers invited Kain to stay for dinner. He hesitated momentarily but eventually accepted their warm invitation.
That evening, Kain had the pleasure of meeting Hermione Granger, a bright young girl with an inquisitive mind. After greeting Kain, she held up a letter and asked her parents, "Dad, do you know where Hogwarts School is? Is it a magic school? Do they teach magic performance?"
"How coincidental," Kain thought to himself upon seeing the letter in Hermione's hand. He anticipated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, someone from Hogwarts would soon arrive to explain the magical world to the Granger family, either that night or the next day.
After all, the Grangers had never been exposed to the magical realm before, and someone would need to guide them through this new journey.
