Chapter 135 An Unpleasant Meeting
Chapter 135 An Unpleasant Meeting
Malfoy Manor, the meeting room on the second floor, which was originally Lucius' study room, was later transformed into a special meeting room.
After all, the previous meeting room was too small. It would be fine if it was just a secret conversation between a few people.
But if it is a major meeting organized, that kind of meeting room will appear quite crowded.
But at present, there is no one in the entire conference hall, only Mr. Lucius Malfoy is standing on the balcony.
Behind him was his wife, Narcissa, and a group of maids, who were cleaning up the trash in the meeting hall.
Since the house elf in his family had a problem, his wife has always been in charge of important places like the meeting hall.
But what troubled Lucius even more was a meeting that had just ended.
Judging from the messy paper scraps and shattered ceramic shards, a not-so-pleasant meeting just ended here.
"They are all a bunch of stupid pigs, can't they see the situation clearly now?"
"Do they really think that their master, with Dumbledore's surname, can't do anything to them?"
"It's really a group of short-sighted idiots. They can't see the situation clearly until they are dying."
Looking at his wife who was working hard, and then at the messy conference hall, Lucius couldn't help complaining.
Hearing this, Narcissa greeted the maids next to her and ordered.
"Bow your head and work girls, clean up this place, if you want to remember what your job is."
"For things other than work, I think you are smart."
Hearing the hostess' warning, the maids continued to work without raising their heads, showing their attitude with their actions.
Seeing this situation, Narcissa was very satisfied, so she put down the work at hand and walked slowly to her husband's side.
Then gently stroked the other's long hair, looked into the other's eyes and said.
"There's no need to be angry with Lucius. They did make a lot of money with you, but some things are not as simple as business."
"This is more of a gamble than politics. The winner will gain hundreds of years of rule in the British wizarding world."
"However, those who lose will also lose everything they have, wealth, family, and a family that has been passed down for thousands of years."
"They just feel scared. After all, many of them only care about themselves, and only have this little Britain in their eyes."
Hearing his wife's encouragement, Lucius' mood improved a lot. He took his wife's hand to the balcony and closed the rear glass door smoothly.
It looks like the lush Malfoy Manor courtyard in summer, with its verdant shrubs and soft lawns that undulate in the wind.
Under the sunlight, the marble fountain looked sparkling, and the Malfoy family's iconic white peacock was escaping the heat under the bushes, looking a little lazy.
Looking at this beautiful summer scene, Lucius couldn't help but shook his head and said.
"I just didn't expect them to oppose so fiercely. They thought they were relying on this outlet."
"Having made a lot of money and regained some vitality, they can sit at the negotiating table and become a party capable of negotiating."
"But they shouldn't think that way at all. They are too arrogant and arrogant. They ignore a real problem."
"That is strength. They have long forgotten what it is like to have strength. They have long forgotten how terrifying a real great wizard is."
"They always think that the other party will make money on their own, so the other party will never be able to do without them, and they are irreplaceable."
Speaking of this, Lucius looked at the white peacocks resting in the courtyard again, so he pointed to those beautiful big birds and said.
"Like these peacocks, others say they are the symbol of the Malfoy family, they represent the nobility and purity of the Malfoy family."
"But the opposite is true, not because they have any nobility or purity in themselves, but because they live in the Malfoy family."
"The same is true. It's not that the noble lord needs their families. It's just that the noble lord chose them for certain purposes."
"But these chess pieces on the table actually want to play chess on the table, it's really dumbfounding."
Hearing this, Narcissa knew what her husband was thinking, he was not worried that his task would not be completed.
Instead, they are worried that something more terrible will happen. After all, if their dog grinned at his owner.
So no matter how noble and pure this dog is, it will definitely be wiped out by the furious master.
The actions of those people may undoubtedly lead to a huge disaster, which will make the British wizarding world that has already experienced Voldemort's chaos.
Becomes weaker and weaker, and in the new order after the storm, the British wizarding world is even more unable to obtain a suitable position.
However, Narcissa also knew very well that she had no good way to help her husband.
I can only hold on to the other party's slightly trembling palms, hoping that this behavior will bring some relief.
Just when the two husbands and wives were deeply in love, there was a slight applause behind them.
The two couldn't help but look back, and saw Augustus standing there with a handsome old German man.
Seeing this, Lucius quickly opened the glass door, came to the side of the two, bowed deeply to Augustus and said.
"Please forgive me for not preparing in advance, and please forgive my incompetence, I did not complete the task you gave me quickly."
"But please rest assured, I will definitely do my best and swear to the death to complete the task you entrusted to me."
Looking at Lucius who was trembling slightly because of nervousness, Augustus kindly helped him to stand up, and then said seriously.
"There's no need to be so nervous, Mr. Malfoy. Although it's not in line with etiquette, I actually heard some of the conversation between you and Mrs. Madam just now."
"I very much believe that you have a clear understanding, but I am also very disappointed by the short-sightedness of those people."
"But I believe that you are ready for everything and have done your best, so I will not punish you."
"On the contrary, I also brought you a helper. Although it is just to introduce you to each other, I think he will appear."
"It can dispel your last worries, but now we need a quiet and clean space for conversation."
After finishing speaking, Augustus snapped his fingers, and everything in the conference hall began to change like going back in time.
The torn pieces of paper flew back to the conference table one by one, and then pieced together by themselves to become a complete piece of paper again.
The paper was very clean, the stains and even the creases on it were smoothed out, followed by the broken teacups, and the tea leaves that fell on the ground.
They all returned to the place where they were supposed to stay, and even bursts of heat came out of the restored teacup.
