Chapter 432: Submission after repeated pulling

"What??!" Hearing this, Dorothy's face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were full of fear. Without any hesitation, she immediately crushed the sapphire necklace on her chest. This was her last signal for help. The next moment, she directly overturned the table, and then rolled over and ran towards the counter.

But the five intruders in front of them showed no signs of attacking. They just stood there quietly, watching Dorothy's every move as if they were watching a play.

Just half a minute seemed like a long year to Dorothy. She knew that the situation was not good! According to the convention, after she sent out a distress signal, support should arrive within a few seconds. But now, a full half a minute had passed, and she didn't even see any additional figures appear!

In panic, the old woman hurriedly ran to the back hall, but after only a few steps, she found that the road ahead was completely blocked by two figures. She stopped, trembling her lips, and asked in fear: "You...what do you want to do?"

"That's enough, stop pretending." Rita's tone was a little irritated. "As I said before, since I decided to be honest with you, it means that I have made full preparations. By the way, you have been engaged in the work of selling intelligence over the years, and you must have offended a lot of people, right? If those people knew that you, a seemingly ordinary old lady, were the culprit who leaked their secrets, and you were preparing for the wedding of your precious granddaughter in the near future, who knows what they would do?

"You...how do you know my granddaughter?" Dorothy widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, and her body began to tremble unconsciously.

"It's not important," Rita raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, "In fact, I know a lot of things. For example, your relationship with Mr. Borgin. By the way, you don't want to ask him for help, do you? But if he knew that you also had an unclear relationship with the Mystery Circus and the Museum of Freaks, what would he do? And..." Rita chattered on and on, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Dorothy's heart.

"Enough! Enough! What do you want?" Dorothy finally couldn't control her emotions and exploded completely.

"Loyalty, Dorothy! Your absolute loyalty...and of course, your intelligence system." Rita remained calm.

"Haha, OK, I agree!" Dorothy waved her hands angrily, her eyes full of disdain: "Even if I agree to you, what can I do? Do you believe it?"

"Does our performance tonight still give you hope?" Rita's smile was charming and flamboyant, but her tone was full of threats. "Come with us now! I only want to say one thing, I hope you surrender sincerely, otherwise, your end will be very miserable. Remember, this is definitely not an empty talk."

Think about what just happened, think about her current situation, and then think about her granddaughter... Dorothy's eyes were full of gloom... If... If they really have the ability to see through her thoughts, then she should surrender!

......

The next morning, Dorothy returned to the shop at 16 Knockturn Alley alone, but there was a communication ring on her finger, and the contacts were only two people, Yang Tian and Rita Skeeter...

At this time, Rita Skeeter was on her way to her next target. Speaking of Yang Tian's support for Rita to establish an intelligence organization, it was really all-round.

Just like the action against Dorothy this time, it was a combination of information from multiple channels such as Mrs. Zabini and Old Barty, and even some key information that Old Fry spent a lot of money to buy from Mr. Borgin. Only then were all the elements that were enough to suppress Dorothy gathered together.

For situations like Dorothy's, the Freeley family and Mrs. Zabini have prepared three for Rita. With these three helpers, I believe Rita's journey to build an intelligence agency will be much smoother.

Of course, every advantage has its disadvantages. Although these three small intelligence agencies can be considered to be well-known, because of this, their subordinate intelligence personnel also have fixed social circles, and it is naturally extremely difficult for them to break into more important positions.

This will be the next problem that Rita is eager to solve after setting up the framework...

Now, let's put Rita's busyness aside and turn our attention to the secret room in Malfoy Manor at noon.

Dolores Umbridge, Ludo Bagman, Lucius Malfoy were all sitting there, and there was another person, Narcissa Malfoy, who was also there...

"You two, I think you have no objection to my wife participating in this negotiation?" Lucius seemed to have regained some confidence at this time.

"Oh, I really can't believe that in just half a day, you've found some help?" Umbridge was as sharp as ever.

"Ms. Umbridge, you misunderstood." Narcissa explained with a smile: "We are sincere about our cooperation. Of course, we don't lie in front of real people. The reason I am here is entirely out of concern for my husband and family situation."

After a pause, she continued, "Moreover, I think you also know that since the two of you withdrew from Fudge's side, they are now eager to recruit talents. If we lean towards them a little at this time, I believe we won't have to pay too much, and the reporting can be easily completed... Moreover, if we increase our support for Fudge, it is not impossible for us to do our best for our Malfoy family..."

Before Narcissa finished speaking, Umbridge interrupted her disdainfully, "If you two really think so, then we can turn around and leave. Don't you know who Fudge is? Not to mention that he can't help you wholeheartedly, even if they are willing to do their best, what can they do? Does he have the ability to be an enemy of the circus, the Tucin Cult, or that evil organization? Stop kidding, okay?"

"But how can you guarantee that you can save our family's lives from the attacks of those organizations?" Lucius asked irritably.

"Why? Haha, because the Albanian war was planned by old Barty; because we know the inside story of the Mystery Circus's Freak Museum, including the distinction between their performance department and assassination department; and because we know that you recently arranged a group of Tushin's followers to stay at 11 Knockturn Alley..." Every time Umbridge said a word, the Malfoys' hearts sank, until the end, as if they were hit hard...
