Chapter 188 You guessed it right, I betrayed you again

The lobby of the Aibo family manor.

A large group of wizards in unusual clothes sat around a round table.

Through the flickering candlelight above their heads, the green firelight reflected on their faces.

In addition to a few families such as Weasley, Black, and Prewett, all the famous pure-blood families in the British wizarding world gathered here.

The final decision on the location of this meeting was made after a long period of communication.

The conflicts between various pure-blood families are sharp, and some have even reached the point of being irreconcilable.

Even the Malfoy family, the most well-connected among the British pure-blood families, was rejected by a group of pure-blood families led by the Lestrange family.

But under the pressure of the Saints Group to break the balance, these purebloods had to work together to find a countermeasure.

After many mediations, the meeting location was finally set at the Ai Bo family, which is also a member of the twenty-eight sacred clans and has the most moderate behavior.

"Representatives from each family have arrived and the meeting has begun."

After the patriarch of the Aibo family made the announcement, he sat down directly, with no intention of presiding over the meeting.

He is still very clear about how much he and the Aibo family weigh.

Firstly, he has no strength, and secondly, he has no money. If the family had not had a good reputation and knew how to protect himself wisely, he would have been annexed by other families long ago.

After a while, no one spoke.

There was a strange atmosphere on the round table.

Rohr and Selwyn, the two patriarchs of the twenty-eight sacred tribes, looked at each other.

Patriarch Rolle lit the pipe in his hand, took a long breath, and looked at Lucius.

"If you don't want to say it first, then I'll do it!"

"About the saints, should Patriarch Malfoy give us a reasonable explanation?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lucius.

There was inquiry, doubt, ridicule, and hatred in his eyes.

Countless emotions intertwined and condensed on Lucius's face,

But Lucius's expression didn't change at all.

"Why should I explain?"

"Hmph! Who doesn't know about the relationship between your Malfoy family and the saints?" Chief Severn sneered.

"Do you think we are all blind?"

In a word, the Malfoy family is placed on the opposite side of all British purebloods.

Lucius has experienced many storms and waves. When Voldemort fell and faced interrogation by the Ministry of Magic, the scene was much more thrilling than this.

He could not be bothered by mere questioning.

"Malfoy does have a cooperative relationship with the Saints, but it seems that we are not the only family that cooperates with him, right?"

"As far as I know, Ms. Vita Rozier is from the Rozier family, and Mr. Argus Grindelwald, the leader of the Saints, was raised under her care."

"You might as well ask Mr. Rozier if he has any inside information that he hasn't told you."

The face of the representative sent by the Rozier family darkened.

Vita Rozier is indeed from the Rozier family. Even though this Rozier is not from England, it is undeniable that the two come from the same ancestor.

He glanced at Selwyn and the patriarch of the Rohr family, and shook his head slightly.

These three families defected to Voldemort together with Lucius, but Lucius always suppressed them.

After the fall of Voldemort, everyone in their family was liquidated, but Lucius escaped.

The Malfoy family even took advantage of this opportunity to take over many of their properties.

This made several people who didn't like to see Malfoy even more dissatisfied with him.

Lucius also knew these situations and directly attracted the Rozier family from their camp.

Didn't you say that Malfoy is close to the saints?

Your family members are the second-in-command of the Saints!

Who is closer?

"We didn't come here to listen to your quarrels!"

"Boys from the Selwyn family, I know all about your little thoughts!"

The representative of the Macmillan family is an old man with gray hair and beard, who looks to be about the same age as Dumbledore.

First he glanced at the three people in Severn, and then turned his attention to Lucius.

"And you, Malfoy boy, don't treat us like fools."

"Do you think the Malfoy family can survive after we are liquidated by the saints?"

Lucius was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "Malfoy is also a member of the twenty-eight sacred tribes."

"I was not informed of this in advance."

"Do you think we will believe it?" the head of the Rohr family said disdainfully.

"Old Luo Er, please stop talking!"

Barty Crouch, the patriarch of the Crouch family and the current director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation at the Ministry of Magic, snapped.

The head of the Rohr family snorted to express his dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to offend this powerful figure in the Ministry of Magic.

He turned his head and said nothing.

"Mr. Malfoy, we need to see your sincerity."

A group of purebloods teamed up to put pressure on Lucius and force him to make a decision.

Even if Lucius had the support of the Parkinson, Greengrass and other families behind him, he would not be able to face off against the majority of British purebloods.

Lucius stood up and raised his cane.

Scan around.

"I'll prove it to you."

After saying that, he turned around and left the hall.

Seeing this, the Parkinson, Knott, Greengrass and other families also left the table.

After everyone left, the elder of the McMillan family spoke again.

"The Malfoy family is too involved with the Saints for us to bet everything on them."

"Eradicate the roots?" The patriarch of the Rohr family said with excitement in his tone.

The old man of the Macmillan family looked at him like a fool.

Are you floating?

His father imprisoned himself, not dead!

If he is really provoked, won't the whole magic world be in turmoil?

Even if you don't look at him, just relying on those old guys of the Saints, do you think you can withstand it?

With such a low IQ, no wonder you can't beat the kid of the Malfoy family!

The old man of the Macmillan family sighed, and with a group of pure bloods, they started a meeting again against the Saints Group.

...

"That's what happened."

In Malfoy Manor, Lucius and Argus sat in the living room and told the contents of the British pure blood family gathering a few days ago.

It is estimated that even the pure blood families at the meeting did not expect that Lucius would sell them out so thoroughly.

Argus picked up a piece of the dozens of snacks in front of him and put it in his mouth.

It seemed that it was a little unpalatable, and his beautiful eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

He put down the snack, wiped his mouth, and said, "It's something I expected a long time ago. There's nothing surprising about it."

"Apart from this, didn't they say anything else?"

"Yes!" Lucius nodded, "Some of these families secretly joined Malfoy."

"After we left, they held another small meeting and planned to take action against the Saints."

"But... they were just warnings, not threats."

"They only have this much courage." Argus chuckled.

If these pure-blood families were stronger and went to war with the Saints, he would really have a headache.

After all, the British wizarding world is still dominated by pure-bloods.

Unfortunately, the long-term extravagant life has long made them lose the courage of their ancestors.

Everything should be done with caution.

Lucius didn't understand Argus's thoughts for a while, and asked tentatively.

"What should we do next?"

"No hurry, just play with them!"
