Chapter 196
The death of a manor was a tragedy.
In just one day, all the pure-blood families reported in the Daily Prophet were attacked by angry British wizards.
Including the Parkinson and Greengrass families headed by Malfoy!
It's just that these families transferred their family materials in advance under the reminder of Lucius.
The loss is just a manor.
Although the loss of a manor is not small, it is not too light compared to other families that have suffered serious injuries.
Barty Crouch, the representative of the Ministry of Magic of the pure-blood family, suffered a more serious blow.
A large number of wizards asked him to abdicate, and even the Ministry of Magic avoided him.
For fear of getting involved with him!
The severely injured pure-blood families met again under the call of Barty Crouch.
In less than half a month, the pure-blood families gathered more times than in the past ten years!
The first to speak was the head of the Roll family!
His face was pale and obviously injured.
"We must join forces to suppress it this time!"
"The honor of pure blood cannot be tarnished!"
"That's right!" The head of the Selwyn family stood up first to echo.
His injuries seemed lighter than those of the head of the Roll family, at least there were no obvious scars on the surface.
"Damn Saints, if it weren't for them, where would this happen!"
Lucius didn't show his expression on the surface, but he sneered in his heart.
You guys started it first, and then you blamed the saints!
What? Only you are allowed to take action, and others are not allowed to fight back?
You have been used to being domineering for many years, do you really think you can be lawless in the British wizarding world!
Lucius knew too well the situation of the pure-blood families in the British wizarding world.
Immersed in the glory of their ancestors, they have a lot of magical knowledge, wealth and power in their hands.
But!
There is no legendary wizard like Dumbledore and Grindelwald who can really carry the banner!
Although the average magic level is much higher than that of ordinary wizards, compared with Dumbledore and Grindelwald, no matter how many people there are, they are no match!
Just like when Voldemort rose to power, facing his oppression, they had no power to fight back.
They can only let themselves be slaughtered!
If Grindelwald was not still in Nurmengard, this group of pure bloods would never dare to use such despicable means against the saints!
The call of the patriarchs of the Rawls and Selwyn families did not receive much response.
Most pure bloods have been afraid of the battles in the past few days, fearing that if they make any noise, this group of civilian wizards will come again.
What scares them even more is the attitude of British wizards!
Many family shops have not seen even a copper Knut in recent days!
British wizards don't go into their shops at all. No matter how they lower the price, these wizards would rather go to the saints' shops to buy at a high price than to look at them.
If it's just a momentary anger, it's fine.
The fear is that British wizards really hold a grudge and never come to their shops again.
Without the support of gold galleons, how can they live their current extravagant life!
Rely on the assets left by their ancestors? Or other income?
Not all families are like the Malfoy family, who own a lot of land and can live comfortably on rent even if they do nothing.
Seeing that no one answered, the head of the Rawl family was immediately unhappy.
"What? Do you really want these half-bloods to ride on our heads!"
"How much have you lost these days! Can you swallow this breath?"
Silence, still silence.
After a long while, the patriarch of the Macmillan family spoke: "Where did our gold Galleons come from? Don't you know?"
"If there were no half-blood wizards, whose gold Galleons would we earn?"
"The pure-blood family can be passed down in the UK, and it has never relied on impulse!"
The old man who attended the meeting of the Macmillan family in the past few times has been worried about the recent events.
He can't even eat.
There is no energy to attend such a gathering of old vixens, so the patriarch of the Macmillan family has to come in person.
"That's right!"
The words of the patriarch of the Macmillan family were agreed by many families.
The patriarch of the Macmillan family paused and continued: "I think the most urgent task is to help Barty Crouch stabilize his position in the Ministry of Magic!"
"If we can't even intervene in the Ministry of Magic, the days to come will be even more difficult."
Everyone's eyes turned to Barty Crouch.
As the patriarch of a pure-blood family, they have some connections in the Ministry of Magic.
The children knew Barty Crouch's current situation and knew that Patriarch McMillan was right.
But they still found it difficult to accept that they helped other families improve their status.
Want us to help? Sure!
But you can't do it for free, right?
We spent our connections and financial resources, and you just reaped the benefits. There is no such good thing in the world!
Barty Crouch has been in the Ministry of Magic for so many years and knows the nature of these people.
Just as he was about to make a promise, the Patriarch of the Rowle family couldn't help it!
"Now we are talking about how to deal with these half-bloods and mudbloods!"
"Not how to help Barty Crouch secure his position as the Director of the Communications Department!"
In the adult world, if there is no clear consent, it is a refusal.
The Patriarch of the Rowle family understood this, but he was still making a final struggle.
The casualties of other families were not from his family, but the Rowle family was different!
There were real casualties among the clan members!
If he could endure this, how could he face his clan members when he returned, and how could he gain a foothold in the British wizarding world and pure-blood families!
If he had not known the gap between himself and the Saint, he would not have tried every means to bring other families together here.
With the current reputation of the Saint, only if the pure-blood families join forces can they have a chance to completely suppress it.
Otherwise, the Roll family alone will only die!
The scene fell into silence again.
Chief Roll was angry and said, "Well, since you are so afraid of the Saint, I think there is no need to continue this meeting!"
"Hmph!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving no face for everyone present.
Seeing Chief Roll leave the table, the Chief of the Selwyn family followed closely. Seeing that their boss had left, several follower families dared not stay.
They quickly followed.
The whole round table was empty in an instant.
"The meeting continues! We can't let them drag us down."
An old man with a brown beard spoke slowly.
...
Saints Manor.
Vita took the recent report of Saints Store and put it in front of Argus.
"In the past few days, the turnover of Saints Store has increased by two-thirds."
"Some wizards deliberately come to us to buy in order to relieve their inner guilt." Argus took the report and responded after reading it carefully.
"But it should be able to maintain half of the growth."
"Don't relax during this period, continue to acquire stores, and acquire as many as you can."
"Okay, I will arrange someone to be responsible for it!" Vita nodded.
"Can the funds still be turned around?"
"For the time being, it's okay."
"That's good. The current situation of the Ministry of Magic is also very complicated. If nothing unexpected happens, Barty Crouch's position should not be kept."
"Do you want... to let our people go up?"
