Chapter 197

The two sides have been in a state of panic.

Vita thought about it carefully and shook her head.

"It's unlikely. We did put a lot of people in the Ministry of Magic, but they stayed in the Ministry for too short a time."

"The important position of Director is too far away from them."

"Even Alan doesn't have enough experience."

"The Auror Command is also a place that can't be let go..."

"That's right. If you want to replace Gringotts and Diagon Alley, the Auror Command will never let go." Argus agreed.

"However, such a good opportunity can't be missed in vain."

Just then, the house elf of the manor suddenly knocked on the door.

"Master, Mr. Malfoy is here and is waiting in the living room."

"Malfoy?"

Argus frowned slightly, and suddenly smiled as if he had thought of something.

Vita thought it was Draco who came, and stopped talking immediately.

"Your classmates have arrived, so let's talk later, and go entertain your classmates first."

"Aunt Vita, you guessed wrong this time!" Argus stood up and tidied his clothes.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lucius who came this time."

"Draco won't wait in the living room obediently. Hearing that I have something to do, he should have run outside to play Quidditch."

"Only Lucius can wait patiently in the living room for me to come over."

"That's true." Vita shook her head and smiled.

"You go talk to him, I won't go over."

"If I go over, I guess he won't even be able to sit still."

Vita picked up the documents on the table, stood up and walked out.

When Argus came to the living room, Lucius was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Seeing Argus coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Argus responded with a smile, and at the same time signaled the house manager to bring him a glass of pumpkin juice.

He took a sip and said, "Mr. Malfoy, if I remember correctly, today should be the British pure-blood family council."

"Yes, most of the pure-blood families want to make peace with the saints."

"Most?"

Argus was not surprised about the peace talks.

These pure-bloods who are used to a luxurious life, few dare to really fight the saints.

They would rather sacrifice some of their interests to ensure their current lives.

As long as they find that they can't solve the saints, peace talks are inevitable.

The only thing that surprised him was that there were families who wanted to continue the war.

"Yes, except for a few families such as the Rawl and Selwyn families, other families are no longer willing to continue to be enemies with the saints."

"What happened in the past few days really scared them."

"If they were not scared, they probably wouldn't stop so quickly." Argus chuckled and signaled Lucius to continue.

"The pure-blood family suffered a heavy loss this time."

"What about you? How much did you lose?"

"With your reminder, Malfoy's loss was not great, only one manor, Parkinson, Greengrass and others were also within an acceptable range, the one who was really in trouble was Crouch."

"Barty Crouch?"

When the name was mentioned, Argus's eyes gradually gathered.

"Yes, I believe you already know about his affairs. Many wizards outside demanded that he be removed from his position as director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department."

"But the pure-blood family is unlikely to be willing to give up this position."

"So they plan to join forces to keep Barty Crouch first?"

A plan gradually formed in Argus's mind.

Perhaps... I can take advantage of the opportunity of the pure-blood family to push Alan up one step further.

"That's right. Almost every pure-blood family has some connections in the Ministry of Magic."

"With so many families joining forces, it shouldn't be a problem to keep Barty Crouch's position."

Lucius picked up the teacup and looked at Argus from time to time to observe his reaction.

Tentatively expressed his thoughts.

"They can't keep him!"

Lucius was stunned by Argus' words.

It seemed that he couldn't understand why he was so sure.

When Argus heard that the pure-blood families planned to join forces to save Barty Crouch, he suddenly thought of a person he had ignored before.

A diehard fan of Voldemort! And one of the most important chess pieces for him to resurrect!

Barty Crouch's son, Barty Crouch Jr.!

If I remember correctly, Barty Crouch Jr. was a Death Eater and was sent to Azkaban.

As a result, after staying there for a while, his mother became seriously ill. In order to save her son's sex,

Life, took the Polyjuice Potion, and replaced Barty Crouch Jr.

Barty Crouch knew about this, but chose to conceal it.

This is a fatal handle for a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic!

Lucius didn't know this, and thought that Argus was overconfident after defeating the Pure-Blood Family Alliance last time.

He thought that the Pure-Blood Family was just like this.

Hesitantly asked: "Mr. Grindelwald, I don't know what you mean?"

"Do you still remember your companions when you followed Voldemort."

"Companions..." Lucius murmured in a low voice: "You mean... Barty Crouch Jr.?"

"Isn't he dead?"

"What if he's not dead?"

Not dead!

Lucius stood up, his eyes full of horror.

Not only was he shocked by the news, but also by Argus's intelligence!

He was not stupid, and he could see at a glance that Barty Crouch Jr. was alive, and his father must have helped behind the scenes.

But such a thing must be done with extreme caution and secrecy!

Even Barty Crouch and his son knew about it!

How did Argus know about it?

Argus's intelligence was beyond Lucius's imagination, as he could even find out the deepest secrets of such a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic!

"It seems that you have already thought about it. Once the matter of Barty Crouch Jr. is leaked, Barty Crouch may not be as simple as resigning."

"Even he himself will be imprisoned in Azkaban!"

"What's the use of pure-blood families having connections? Do you think Fudge will let him go?"

"Will the British wizards let him go? Unless Barty Crouch dares to be an enemy of the entire wizarding world."

"If he has this ability, does he still need to seek help from other families?"

Argus's words made Lucius completely relieved.

Finally, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

This move has pinched Barty Crouch, or the death point of the pure-blood family!

No matter how the opponent attacks, a single move can instantly turn the tide!

The two chatted for a long time about the follow-up actions of the pure-blood family.

When Lucius left, Vita came in to discuss the follow-up matters with Agus.

The house elf came to report again.

This time, the guest was someone Agus had never expected...
