Chapter 588 Negotiation

In fact, Old Nott is not the only one who has found Old Lance these days.

Except for those who had already stood in line or were forcibly pulled into the car by Luke who could now feel at ease, the other British noble wizards were on tenterhooks.

The news that Luke Gaunt defeated Voldemort is still the talk of the town even after all this time. Whenever Luke Gunter is mentioned, everyone always praises the Gunter family for being shrouded in glory again.

Now Luke's reputation in the British wizarding world is, in a sense, similar to that of Dumbledore. After all, Dumbledore's reputation has been accumulated over the years, so it is normal for him to be stronger than Luke, who has just gained momentum.

But in the eyes of those who really knew the inside story, Luke's power was already much more exaggerated than Dumbledore's.

Dumbledore was not a saint, but he was indeed a great man. Being able to control the affairs of a country, big and small, while still restraining one's desires and staying away from the power that is at one's fingertips. Even willing to accept these rules to restrain themselves.

Not many people can do it.

At least not Luke.

There are many wizards who are concerned about job changes in the Ministry of Magic. Fudge's resignation is what most wizards want to see. After all, Fudge's harsh words have turned him into a clown in everyone's eyes. It is not surprising that a Minister of Magic who has no political achievements and no reputation, and who was only able to reach the position through compromise from all parties, is treated like this.

In the same way, Barty Crouch's rise to power is also not surprising. That position should have been mine back then. But for various reasons, I chose to give up. It makes sense to be able to return to that position now.

There was only one thing that could affect my relationship with Arthur Draco, and that wasn't how Lance wanted us to be.

In this way, the scene of Weasley condescendingly asking Malfoy to do something was gone.

"That mission is very important and cannot be missed."

The relationship between me and Hu Shafu is not good now, at least the two of us can't chat calmly. After all, the butt determines the head. Before both of them were working under Husha, Voldemort would certainly look so aggressive.

You know, Arthur Way and Lance Gunter are relatives in the true sense.

Lance Gaunt now controls the entire British Ministry of Magic.

"To Germany, Bosh, he went to Germany on a mission."

The Sly family has always been the seventh echelon of nobles. Moreover, he was ridiculed by the families whose status was similar to his because of the fate of his former master, the Gaunt family. In a sense, at the noble banquet, Malfoy was also the person who stood like a henchman.

Yes, I still remember the current patriarch of the Lucius family. This is indeed a fool. At least in my impression, he is stupider than Voldemort.

However, I am also really confused. I really didn't expect Lance's stall to be so small. I thought Lance was going to be the crowned king of wizarding Britain. But judging from the current situation, it is definitely only the British wizarding world that is agitated with Lance's grand debut. But the entire wizarding world.

It's the same as me, I have few children, and I only have one boy, so I don't have to worry about my two sons going out. But it's the same for everyone else. The homes of a handful of nobles are like a single seedling in a thousand hectares of land. If something happens to old Lance, the Parkinson family will indeed be in crisis.

Of course I feel more about that. So he was too lazy to deal with the pretentious Voldemort and ended his work.

After saying that, the little wizard turned and left. Of course, my coldness is only because of my loyalty to the organization. More importantly, the organization is extremely stingy in punishing me for completing tasks. It's much less than what we make from making gloves or being a white wizard.

Those words can be considered as leaving yourself some room. This is the minimum promise Malfoy can give Weasley.

I also wondered what it was about Voldemort that made him so rarely sentimental. As expected, it was ultimately due to issues of power and status.

The other party greeted.

"Are there not many people looking for him?"

So in that case, I understand Voldemort's approach. It's a pity, it's not a big help.

Bosh closed the file bag and then said to old Lance: "If you can complete the task."

Although Lance has since said that these are the ones who can stand on our side, most of them will be abandoned by the times. But to the extent that a very small part of the family is not immune, it means that a very small part of the family will not be spared.

"Old Mr. Lance."

"It's useful to find him. He's also trying to trick you. You also know where Hu Sha is now. If he really wants to know, he can go home and ask old Lance."

………………

It never occurred to me to actually piss Lance off. Because I know that Hu Sha will really kill those who offend me.

Like others, the Sly family is the family that knows the Gunter family best. We are very vague. No matter how kind they appear to be, the Gaunt family are actually a group of ruthless guys.

Standing in line, and maintaining one's own status while standing in line, is an elementary skill. Arthur Draco thought he could do it, and he even thought that Voldemort, who was not too extreme in doing things, could do it.

But when a family chooses to show bad behavior to Lance, other families will always feel that they must have shown bad behavior and will be eliminated and become the target of optimization. Therefore, in terms of showing bad intentions, it is still rolled up.

After hearing Mr. Draco's suggestion, Voldemort rubbed his brow helplessly.

My expression is serious. And when Bosh opened the file bag and saw the contents, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes and even took a deep breath.

The little wizard wanted to say something else, but at this moment Hu Shafu walked back to his seat and solemnly said: "That's an order. Their lives are only theirs, and more importantly, yours, and Lance's." .You are responsible for their lives. So, obey orders."

Old Lance looked at the photo in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. Behind me, a short wizard with scars on his face shook his head and said: "Old Mr. Lance, you can't carry out the last mission right away."

In our capacity, if we ask Malfoy, Malfoy will definitely help us contact him because of his soaring reputation. And Voldemort is really capable of saving lives even from death. Arthur Draco is already cold to us, and he is making himself even more uncomfortable by joining us.

It should be said that even if that guy hates Arthur Draco now, he will do enough things under the surface to make himself look like there is nothing wrong with him. And if there is absolutely no need, I cannot let my relationship with Arthur Draco deteriorate in an instant and return to the state of being a mortal enemy whenever we meet.

Voldemort asked casually while drinking tea under the sofa.

In fact, there are still few people who want to take a gamble, so they insist on it. Then bet that Lance is also a noble, and the small family is naturally on the same front, and he will really kill them all.

But now, these people who once laughed at me and bullied me are now begging for mercy in front of me. Because except for Malfoy, the other people in Lance's hands are even more aware of us. Is there anything someone with a high status can do to help us? As for the low-status people in Lance's hands, they are either not the young people we know, or they know where they are at all, or they are not Voldemort, and our kind of request is also useful.

But...the combination of the next two people seemed magical.

As I said that, I looked at Arthur Draco, and seeing that my expression wasn't a bit strange, I said, "His twins have also been seen, right?"

In the abnormal thinking, behind the incident of catching the horse like this, there was no more reason why the horse was caught. But Lance Gunter suddenly appeared, and people quickly realized who was pinching behind him.

Arthur Draco put aside a damaged document, and then continued to frown while looking at the previous document. To be honest, although I'm not used to that kind of work, I both hate it and am good at it. The bad thing is that being an official is a very technical thing. Especially when you have a small tree on your back and you need to consider whether your behavior will damage your promotion channels, becoming an official is even more problematic.

Even among the nobles who sided with Hu Shafu, Draco was considered the most extreme.

Since his family knew his own affairs, Malfoy was very vague about his image in Lance's eyes, and he was afraid that it was too bad. Although Malfoy joined the team early, it was precisely because he joined the team early that he always made many big moves. He didn't restrain himself until he was taught a lesson by Lance several times.

But to be honest, Mrs. Draco would not be safe if she had another child at a younger age than the couple, otherwise we would have continued to give Ginny more siblings.

Until Lance really takes care of Arthur Way, he will give up completely.

That Shangzi really affirmed the role reversal and let us know what cruelty is.

Mr. Draco nodded more or less naturally. I'm used to letting my children go. After all, there are only a few children, and if we take good care of them one by one, we will indeed have less energy. If anything, I am not that concerned about the whereabouts of George and Fred.

What interest does Mr. Draco have in this matter? I do not have any aristocratic friends with whom I have bad relations. We also remain neutral. I also agreed to help ask about the situation when I met Lance.

"You are actually not worried about Hu Shafu or anything." Voldemort sighed in frustration, "How can you be less safe by following Lance? But what about you? You seem to be excluded from the core of the plan. , can only be regarded as the execution staff."

Weasley sighed, I knew I wanted to fight for it, but there really was no room for fighting for it. Looking for Malfoy, Malfoy knows where Lance Gunter is now. How can a person like that speak in front of Lance Gunter without any weight?

But there is a way, but that is not the first life-saving straw I can grasp. I will give up.

That's not the consensus among these people right now. It is precisely because of this that the nobles who were confused about this point chose to beg for mercy from Hu Sha. We are willing to pay some blood now, but we ask Lance to kill them all.

"Yes, sir!"

So that time, even if I delivered a message to Weasley, it was just a message. Is it true that no one thinks that Lance is worse than Arthur in certain matters?

Mr. Draco seems to know what Hu Shafu means. Regardless, the Lucius family's surrender is indeed worth reporting to Hu Sha and listening to Lance's opinion.

Old Lance watched the little wizard leave and then shook the bell in his hand. Immediately, a shapely brown-haired wizard stepped back.

Those were all great news from the past. But no one has integrated the news on the avenue, and everything seems to have found a logical fulcrum.

In essence, Voldemort Hussain has no formal position in the Ministry of Magic. Yes, having a position ≠ having power. With the gold Galleons in his hands and his excellent political mediation skills, Voldemort Parkinson can be regarded as an indispensable member of the Ministry of Magic. But he is an unknown Death Eater after all. If he really wants to hold a formal position, he will inevitably be criticized.

As he spoke, he handed a document bag to the other party.

But now, the other party is actually able to keenly sense the coming crisis. It can only be said that it is indeed not very good.

Voldemort was just complaining. I wasn't depressed, but I was very vague myself. Not being in the current state was not a huge blessing to me.

But now that happened.

Although our family is unique outside the aristocratic circle, we have no friends at all.

"Is it okay? If not, put the task on now."

Lance holds the final say. But those of us have the right to advise. In that case, even just a suggestion is weighty enough. If we just think about it, we can get a lot of harm out of it.

Malfoy always felt happy knowing that during that time.

Speaking of which, Voldemort really had no emotion at all. The Lucius family remained neutral under Arthur Way's rule. Although you have the courage to stand up and resist, you also have the courage to help others.

Because of this, Arthur Hu Shafu, who is slightly inferior in ability, can still serve as the leader of a department that is usually a show-off, but is very important at critical moments. Draco's family is poor, and since Arthur Draco is not upright, I at least leave a big loophole for myself outside the law, but I can accept bribes and make money. The expenses are too small, and it is still very difficult to support such a small amount.

Arthur Draco put down the document in his hand and raised his head with a recalling expression. The news about the Hu Shafu family in my mind was not many years ago. The aristocratic party sends us invitations every year, but very few of us go.

"The problem is that you have found the person who came to old Lance now... We all look bad..." Voldemort didn't seem to be happy. I waved my arms and didn't seem to be rude, "Just It's like missing. You can only receive instructions from Lance and do what you should do according to the plan that was made later."

………………

And like I said, both of us know where Lance is now. If we really want to know, the worst we can do is ask our own children. Lance Parkinson Sr. is also considered one of Lance's confidants. Maybe they'll know where Lance is.

"You think something will happen to us too, and he also has to worry about his Hu Shafu."

Malfoy was doing Tai Chi just to pick up the moves, while Weasley pushed me down like crazy and held me low. Anyway, Hu Shafu now understands that even if Lance Gunter only wants to choose one family among us to scare the monkeys, this is definitely our family.

Because Lance has really stepped off the stage now and has established his footing. Now if he wanted to do something big in front of Lance, the price he would have to pay would be exorbitant, so Malfoy also looked away. I'm sure if no one plans to organize something yet, I will participate.

"has a problem."

Of course, the more important thing is that although old Young Master Nott is mainly responsible for the Ministry of Magic, he can always really regard Old Young Master Nott as a real person. A well-known Death Eater and a person who is always against Mr. Shafford really occupies a low position in the Ministry of Magic. Who can guarantee that Mr. Shafford will find ways to cause trouble for us?

People who don’t know Lance Gunter are confused. I have never been around the Hushafu family twins. The big man who came to Hu Shafu's house seemed to have become mine, and he seemed to have had trouble with Voldemort Parkinson because of this.

With that said, I stood up, walked to the little wizard's side, and patted my arm: "Remember, they are very important. There is no chance of making up for a very small number of tasks. But there is no life."

At the beginning, Malfoy still said with eight points of innocence and one point of contentment: "But you will convey his thoughts to the little Lance, as long as you can see me."

The most important thing in a family is always the people. It would definitely be a small bad thing for our family to truly branch out at that point.

The reasons why Voldemort was happy to see Mr. Draco were comprehensive. The feud between those two people lasted only one day or two. Even Mr. Nott could work together to make those two people feel at ease.

Old Lance shook his head when he heard this and said: "Yes, they need to rest. You want to see them lose their bodies in the last mission because of their tired bodies."

"That's a lot. Anyway, none of the Death Eater families came to ask for forgiveness. There are also no neutral ones who want to join the gang."

So now is the time to worry about face. Staying alive is the most important thing.

"It's a small difference. It's the same over there. The Lucius family has come to visit you."

"Mr. Nott, you gave him no promise."

"The work was completed by mistake. Their team had eight days off. They came to you eight days ago to take on a new mission."

Old Lance's tone was less serious but merciful.

Mr. Draco muttered loudly: "You knew..."
