#214 - Chapter 214 Your Will is the Direction of My Advancement

Go undercover?

Hearing Sebastian's suggestion, Lucius hesitated for a moment.

The rewards of this plan would indeed be much greater. Not to mention, once successful, the Malfoy family could immediately transform into a family of heroes, a status incomparable to their current one.

You must know that after the Dark Lord's downfall, although the Malfoy family used the excuse of the Imperius Curse and donating gold Galleons to avoid the Ministry of Magic's reckoning.

Since then, the Malfoy family's assets have shrunk considerably, and their status has also declined significantly.

The current Malfoy family still appears glamorous, but many people dare to step on them.

Just like last year, when the Ministry of Magic investigated Dark Magic items, that blood traitor Weasley brought many people to search Malfoy Manor.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have thrown out the Dark Lord's diary, and the Malfoy family wouldn't have been so passive.

However, going undercover... is too dangerous, isn't it?

The opponent is the Dark Lord. Once discovered, death would be the best relief.

Lucius gritted his teeth and said to Sebastian in a low voice.

"Since the Dark Lord is currently only a remnant soul, why don't you and Dumbledore take this opportunity to directly..."

Lucius didn't say it explicitly but made an implicit gesture.

In his mind, since the Dark Lord is extremely weak, now is the best time to eliminate him completely.

That way, many people wouldn't have to live in fear anymore.

Seeing Lucius's gesture, Sebastian understood what he was thinking.

Good heavens, worthy of the "loyal and martyred" Malfoy family, already thinking about completely eliminating the Dark Lord.

Sebastian shook his head gently at Lucius: "Of course, we want to get rid of him once and for all."

"However, unfortunately, the Dark Lord is currently in a very special state, and no spell can kill him."

"Only after he is resurrected can he be completely killed."

Hearing this, Lucius felt somewhat unwilling.

It seems that now, the only path is to go undercover.

Otherwise, after the Dark Lord falls again, the Malfoy family may not be able to escape the Ministry of Magic's reckoning.

For Narcissa and Draco, these are necessary sacrifices.

Watching Lucius's face changing constantly, Sebastian didn't urge him but quietly watched him, waiting for his final decision.

After a long while, Lucius raised his head and said fiercely to Sebastian.

"I want to fight for a brighter future for the Malfoy family, so I am willing to become your undercover agent."

Snap—

Sebastian snapped his fingers and praised Lucius: "A wise choice, Senior!"

"Come," Sebastian took out a magical contract and placed it on the table, "Please sign this contract."

"Don't worry, the content is very lenient. However, if you betray me, I will know immediately."

Lucius didn't have much resistance to the existence of the magical contract.

He had seen too much deceit and understood that this was just a guarantee to reassure both parties.

If he were in Sebastian's shoes, he would definitely make the other party take an Unbreakable Vow.

Lucius picked up the magical contract. After confirming that what Sebastian said was correct, he signed his name without hesitation.

After signing, he felt as if he had collapsed, leaning on the sofa, soothing his exhausted body and mind.

Huff—

Too tired...

Looking at Lucius's exhausted appearance, Sebastian smiled and said: "Senior, after signing the magical contract, we are one of us."

"Since we are one of us, I am willing to reveal some news to you, so that the Malfoy family can make preparations in advance, in order to obtain a hundred or even a thousand times the wealth in the future."

Hmm?

What news?

That can obtain a hundred or a thousand times the wealth.

Speaking of this, I'm not tired anymore.

Lucius perked up and sat up straight, looking at Sebastian with burning eyes: "What news?"

Sebastian didn't answer directly but scanned the decorations in the study.

"The Malfoy family has good taste. Many of the items here are Muggle antiques."

"There are even many Muggle royal items. How impressive."

Good eye!

Lucius smiled triumphantly.

Although he wouldn't admit it publicly, he knew that after the Malfoy ancestors came to England, they used their status as wizards to obtain a large amount of wealth and power from the Muggle royalty, completing the initial accumulation of wealth.

Even this imposing manor was obtained at that time.

These antiques are the foundation of the Malfoy family. Any one of them can be exchanged for the entire wealth of some wizarding families.

It's just a pity that later, with the advent of the Statute of Secrecy, the wizards completely hid themselves.

For the benefit of the family, the Malfoy ancestors were forced to choose the pure-blood supremacy camp.

However, what does this have to do with acquiring wealth?

Suddenly, Lucius's heart skipped a beat. The other party would definitely not speak without purpose. What he said must have a deeper meaning.

Why specifically point out Muggle antiques?

Could it be...

Does the other party have such great courage?!

Lucius looked at Sebastian and asked with suspicion: "Could it be... you want to break the Statute of Secrecy and make money from Muggles?"

"Give me a hint," Lucius lowered his voice, "Do you want to become the next Dark Lord?"

"What Dark Lord! That's too awful to hear."

Sebastian's expression turned serious: "I am a righteous person and have no intention of becoming the Dark Lord."

"Everything I do is just to seek benefits for the wizarding world."

The corner of Lucius's mouth twitched slightly.

He really guessed correctly.

He was about to open his mouth to say something when he heard Sebastian say: "Senior, the wizarding world's cake is too small, and the wealth is too little."

"If you want to earn more, you must turn your attention to a larger market."

"As long as the Statute of Secrecy is broken, the wizarding world's products will become treasures that Muggles dream of!"

"At that time, even the most common potions can be sold to Muggles at sky-high prices."

"At that time, even if wizards can only brew the most common potions, they can live a wealthy life."

"We can hoard all kinds of magical materials or finished potions in advance."

"At that time, as the first people to eat crabs, we will not only be praised for generations but also earn countless wealth."

"The Malfoy family will also return to the supreme glory of the era without the Statute of Secrecy, recreating the past glory."

Sebastian stood up and said passionately: "I will personally charge forward at the forefront."

"And you, my friend," Sebastian looked into Lucius's eyes, "I wonder if you are willing to act as the representative of the pure-blood families, leading the many pure-blood families to cheer for me?"

Listening to the future described by Sebastian, Lucius was so excited that his blood was boiling.

The representative of the pure-blood families and countless wealth, each of them made Lucius's heart flutter.

He was blessed with inspiration, suddenly stood up, and with the most standard etiquette, put his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply to Sebastian.

"From today onwards, your will is the direction of the Malfoy family's progress."

"Mr. Swann."
