Chapter 399 End of Family Meeting

Draco took a deep breath and continued, "This is just the information I personally got. As for how much the captives confessed about you, I really don't know...Father, whether it is the circus, the Tusin Church, or the organization called Sarok, their existence will always stand in opposition to orthodox wizards. If you are involved too deeply, when the time comes for reckoning, how will you deal with it?" His tone was sincere and a little worried.

"I'm just a middleman. Even if the Ministry of Magic knows that certain links were arranged by me, it will not hold me overly responsible." Lucius still said stubbornly, but his voice trembled slightly.

"My dear, we can still barely cope with the current situation, but what about after that?" Narcissa suddenly interrupted, "Don't forget, those people in the organization will do anything to achieve their goals! Will they blame you for this failure? Will they think that you were the one who tipped off all of this? Will they want to use the children and me to further control you? Will they cast all kinds of evil spells on you to control you?"

"Narcissa, we are not completely powerless." Lucius said with forced calmness, "Besides, this is Britain, what can they do to me?"

"Lucius, as the head of the Malfoy family, I don't believe you can't figure out the key!" Narcissa was obviously really anxious: "You are now deeply involved in it, which will become the biggest handle in their hands! They use this as a threat to make you do more things, what should you do?"

Seeing her husband pursing his lips tightly and not answering, what else did Narcissa not understand? She quickly asked, "As your wife, I ask you to tell me the truth about the current situation."

"Alas... Actually... There's really nothing special about it. I'm just a transit station." As if he couldn't stand the crazy questioning from his wife and children, the next moment, Lucius still described his current situation in detail...

"That is to say, at least so far, you have only stayed at the level of transactions, and the role you play is nothing more than logistics and information sharing?" Narcissa's voice was very low, as if she was talking to the father and son, and as if she was talking to herself: "However, what you just said is not accurate. After the end of the Albanian War, the opponent's forces in England have indeed disappeared, and the issued tasks have also undergone tremendous changes. But it's not like they are powerless and need to rely on you to support the situation. Instead, it's more like they push you to the front, make you their spokesperson, and try to tie you firmly to their chariot." Narcissa's eyes flashed with wisdom, as if she had seen through everything.

"I have thought about this issue, but although their methods are strange, they do not have deep roots in England. I really can't imagine what tricks they can play." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Lucius' tone.

"No, my dear, you still have a misunderstanding. Let me just say one thing. The key point of all the news coming out now is that you are responsible for everything after they enter Britain. Apart from that, is there any news about anyone else?" Narcissa's tone was a little disappointed, as if she was helpless about her husband's stubbornness.

She sighed and continued, "Now, only you know that you only provided logistical support and information sharing as agreed, but the news that came out didn't say that! Then why can't everyone assume that all this was planned by you, and you are the agent of these organizations in the UK? Even if the investigators really don't think much about it, you are their only known clue at the moment, and they will definitely hold on to you. And how will you react in order to protect yourself?"

Narcissa's words hit Lucius' heartstrings like a heavy hammer. His face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "But...but...you didn't show much opposition at Christmas? I thought you knew a lot at that time."

"You still don't understand, dear?" Narcissa said speechlessly, "At that time, I thought you were working for the Dark Lord. Even though he had disappeared and was notorious, his power was still undeniable, a nightmare-like existence. More importantly, it was a contradiction within the British wizarding world! But what about now? You are standing on the opposite side of the entire wizarding world in disguise, and are the enemy of everyone!"

"But..." Lucius was backed into a corner. "Those are the valuable networks left by the Dark Lord! I am indeed maintaining these relationships for him!"

"You also said that those connections belong to the Dark Lord, not you!" Narcissa interrupted unceremoniously, "My dear, the Malfoy family should know how to judge the situation. You know very well whether you are capable of handling all this."

"Okay, Narcissa, you win." At this moment, Lucius was completely awakened by the straightforward words. He said a little dejectedly: "Tell me what we should do?"

"Report it first, and find someone who is willing to testify for you and protect you." Narcissa showed her rare calmness at this time: "Only by publicizing your current minor mistakes and leaving yourself with stains will it be less likely for others to smear you. At least someone will make it clear for you."

"Who should I report to? The Ministry of Magic? They are already busy with their own affairs. Dumbledore? That crazy old man who only focuses on Hogwarts..." Lucius found it difficult to accept this proposal. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into Professor Snape, spraying his venom crazily...

"Lucius, I ask you to stay calm. Your wanton venting will not make your current situation any better." Narcissa interrupted her husband and continued, "All we are looking for is a report! A new partner! The rest can only be verified by time. As for the candidate, if I were to choose, I would choose old Barty; but based on your current layout, Fudge seems to be more suitable. But what I want to say is that if you really choose Fudge, you must be prepared to be squeezed dry and stabbed in the back by him."

Seeing that Lucius was really listening to her advice seriously, Narcissa smiled with relief and continued, "In addition, you must reverse the relationship between yourself and those organizations as soon as possible and bring the business back to normal. Even if it means reducing some income, we will not hesitate..."

In this way, Narcissa began to give advice to Lucius step by step...
