Chapter 46
The next day, Diagon Alley.
Compared with the past, Diagon Alley today is more lively.
Dozens of shops held opening ceremonies at the same time.
The grand venue attracted a large number of wizards to stop and watch.
Surprisingly, there were Aurors stationed at the ceremony.
Behind the scenes of the ceremony, Argus blew the hot tea in his hand, and Vita Rosier beside him put away the teapot.
"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy. Without your help, it would not be so easy to get these shops in Diagon Alley."
"You are too polite, Mr. Grindelwald. We are partners, so we should help each other."
Lucius kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and fidgeting beside Argus.
He had seen the wrist of this young man countless times before Hogwarts started.
The handling was exquisite, the decision was decisive, and the mind was meticulous.
Even he, the patriarch of the Holy Twenty-Eight Clans, felt inferior.
If it were just these, it would be fine.
But the person standing aside pouring tea was the Black Rose of France - Vita Rosier!
A person who was far superior to him in terms of age and status!
Others were standing to serve tea, and you had the guts to sit?
I'm afraid you don't know how to write the word death!
"Mr. Malfoy, the opening ceremony is about to begin. Let's go and have a look together?"
Agus took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, saw Lucius's uneasiness, and spoke to help.
Lucius hurriedly stood up and followed behind Agus.
Seeing Vita's figure, he paused unconsciously and fell behind again.
...
At the ceremony.
The host was working hard to promote various products.
His humorous language and funny actions made the wizards around him laugh.
"Mr. Grindelwald, there should be many important members of pure-blood families at today's opening ceremony."
"If you don't mind, I can introduce them to you."
"The Malfoy family still has some face in this regard."
When it comes to this topic, Lucius finally has some confidence.
The Malfoy family is a fence-sitter... No, the reputation of socialites is not covered.
"Thank you, Mr. Malfoy." Agus smiled and did not refuse.
After they had walked a few steps, they heard someone inside greet them.
"Argus, this way!"
Lucius was stunned for a moment.
Argus smiled and stepped forward to respond.
"Mr. Carlo, long time no see!"
Carlo walked a few steps quickly and came to Argus.
"You are the protagonist of today's ceremony. You are too late!"
"This is..."
Argus introduced the two: "This is Mr. Lucius Malfoy, the patriarch of the Malfoy family, one of the sacred twenty-eight clans."
Turning back, he looked at Lucius: "This is Mr. Ian Carlo of the Carlo family. He is also a member of the sacred twenty-eight clans, but he doesn't usually go out."
Ian Carlo pretended to be dissatisfied: "What do you mean by not going out? I am studying magical animals, okay!"
"Hello, Mr. Malfoy, nice to meet you."
Lucius was stunned and said: "Very... nice to meet you."
Soon, two more people came.
"Mr. Grindelwald, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
A burly bearded man came over and patted Argus on the shoulder.
Another thin man was also very happy: "Mr. Grindelwald, you are finally here. We haven't finished talking about the development of new modes of flying brooms last time. When can we continue to talk?"
Lucius was stunned: "These two are..."
"These two are Mr. Baylis and Mr. Dave, researchers of flying brooms of the Light Wheel Company. The latest issue of Light Wheel 2000 is the idea proposed by them."
Before Argus finished speaking, several apparitions appeared.
"Mr. Grindelwald, are we not late?"
"It seems that we are not, haha..."
"Ross will be here soon. He has wanted to see you for a long time!"
A large group of people dressed in luxurious clothes rushed into the ceremony.
Argus still had a polite smile on his face: "Professor Travers, you are still in good health!"
Travers said with a straight face: "What are you talking about! Durmstrang is so close to you, why do you have to come to England to go to Hogwarts!"
Argus smiled helplessly: "I will explain this to you later."
"No, you must give me an answer today! Otherwise, I will go to Dumbledore to ask in person!"
Travers was very tough.
Argus had to deal with it first: "I will satisfy you after the ceremony."
"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Malfoy."
"This is Professor Travers of Durmstrang."
Lucius exclaimed: "Professor Travers! Your book on dark magic, "The Origin of Dark Magic", is my enlightenment to dark magic! I didn't expect to see you here today!"
Travers nodded: "Malfoy kid, I have heard of you. You have managed the Malfoy family well over the years and have not embarrassed your father."
As soon as this group of people left, the next group came again.
There was no time to even breathe.
Lucius was so tired that he almost vomited blood!
Tell me, you have only been in the UK for two months?
How come you know more people than me!
Who of us is a socialite!
He was a little arrogant and wanted to introduce some British families to Argus.
But Argus introduced a bunch of people to him instead!
Argus smiled secretly.
Do you really think I dare to come to England without any preparation?
The old ghosts in the Saints may not have much strength left, but they know more people than one!
The people they introduced to Argus may not be as powerful as the pure-blood families, but they are all leaders in various industries!
As the saying goes, what is the most important thing in the 21st century?
Talent!
These people are the pinnacle of talent!
Make good friends, they will definitely come in handy in the future!
Lucius wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Mr. Grindelwald, are your friends almost all here? Otherwise, we will..."
"Wait a minute, there are still a few who haven't arrived yet."
"More!" Lucius's legs were weak and he almost couldn't stand still.
Argus comforted him: "There are only a few left, they should be here soon."
"You should be familiar with these people, so there is no need for me to introduce them."
Lucius relaxed a little.
My acquaintances are easy to talk about.
It's not like before, where I don't know anyone.
When acquaintances meet, they can at least say a few words!
He just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly saw a dark group of people in the distance.
They were walking towards them!
Before he saw anyone, he heard a familiar voice.
"Mr. Grindelwald, we finally meet! Hahaha..."
"Last time, my Auror caused you trouble, please don't mind it!"
This voice is!
Lucius' pupils shrank sharply.
Argus smiled faintly and greeted him.
"You're joking."
"Minister Fudge!"
