Lucius Malfoy walked towards Wentworth, who was sitting in the main seat, with a smile on his face. However, before Lucius could get close, a wizard who was originally standing not far behind Wentworth came up and stopped Lucius and Narcissa.
Then the witchy wizard signaled Lucius and Narcissa to hand over their wands.
Seeing this, Lucius was slightly stunned. At this moment, Wentworth said, "No need, let them come over!"
After hearing Wentworth speak, the wizard from the Witch Party stepped aside.
Lucius and Narcissa walked cautiously to Wentworth, and then Wentworth motioned for them to sit down.
Lucius and Narcissa then quietly sat down in their seats, and Wentworth said, "I'm sorry to show up at Malfoy Manor in this way, but my identity is somewhat special. I am doing this to avoid causing trouble to the Malfoy family. I hope Mr. Lucius Malfoy can understand."
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lucius waved his hands and said in a nonchalant manner, "No, no! Your coming is an honor to our Malfoy family!"
Wentworth smiled when he heard Lucius' words, but he didn't take it to heart. He then said directly, "I came to visit you this time because I want to get the help of the Malfoy family for something."
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lucius was stunned at first, and then he felt his wife Narcissa stepping lightly on his foot under the table. Lucius reacted quickly and said with a smile:
"It is an honor for me and the entire Malfoy family that you can come to me for help! I don't know how I can help you."
Seeing Lucius's statement, Wentworth nodded with great satisfaction, then turned his head to look at Cassandra, and at Wentworth's signal, Cassandra took a few steps forward and came in front of Lucius and Narcissa.
Wentworth then pointed at Cassandra and said:
"Let me introduce you. This is Miss Cassandra Revo. Her father is Thomas Revo, the former head of the Auror Office of the British Ministry of Magic and the current head of the Floo Network Office."
Lucius was stunned when he heard Wentworth's words. You know, Lucius had just returned from Diagon Alley and witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Thomas Reveau and Gilderoy Harold joined forces to repel the Witch Party.
At that time, Lucius suspected that there was something fishy going on, but Lucius thought that the one with the fishy thing was Harold. He never expected that Thomas, an official of the British Ministry of Magic, was actually involved with the Witch Party!
And then, before Lucius could think about it, Wentworth continued:
"We took the liberty of coming here to visit this time because of Miss Cassandra's father!"
After hearing what Wentworth said, Lucius immediately expressed his position solemnly:
"Is there anything you need me and our Malfoy family to do? Just tell me!"
Seeing this, Wentworth said bluntly:
"Mr. Thomas, as a hero who defeated our wizard party, saved Gringotts, and restored the face of the British Ministry of Magic, now he is just a director of the Floo Network office. Even we, the wizard party, feel it is a pity!"
"I came here this time in the hope that Mr. Lucius could help me make use of your connections in the British Ministry of Magic to help Mr. Thomas move up a level!"
Hearing Lucius's question, Wentworth looked at Cassandra, who said expressionlessly: "Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, British Ministry of Magic!"
After hearing Cassandra's words, even though Lucius was prepared, he almost choked on his own saliva.
Originally, Lucius thought that as Thomas Reveau was now the director of the Floo Network Office, the next step he wanted to take was the Department of Magical Transportation, which was under the Floo Network Office.
Although they were both at the director level, Lucius felt that with the Galleons in his hands, he could find a director for a niche department like the Department of Magical Transportation even if he had to spend a lot of money.
But when Lucius saw that the Wizarding Party opened its mouth and mentioned the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the largest and most powerful department in the British Ministry of Magic, he knew that he could not do it with the Galleons in his hand alone.
After thinking it over again and again, Lucius said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, but I really can't do it! The current Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement is Barty Crouch! This guy is a ruthless person, and he even has the opportunity to compete for the position of British Minister of Magic! It is really difficult for our Malfoy family to drive him out of his position!"
Wentworth didn't care when he heard Lucius' answer, because he knew that what Lucius said was true.
But Wentworth was clearly prepared.
Wentworth looked into Lucius' eyes and said word by word:
"Mr. Lucius, I have a piece of news for you. I think that with the help of this news, it won't be difficult to bring down Barty Crouch. If you want, you can even send him directly to Azkaban!"
Hearing the name of Azkaban coming out of Wentworth's mouth, Lucius couldn't help but shudder all over, and then asked nervously: "I don't know, what news are you talking about?!"
Wentworth smiled and explained:
"Do you still remember your former good comrade Barty Crouch Jr."
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lucius was stunned at first, then he stood up suddenly and said nervously: "No, no! Barty Crouch Jr. and I are not familiar with each other, and we are not comrades! He is a Death Eater, I... I... I was under the Death Eater's Imperius Curse at that time, I was not..."
However, before Lucius could finish his words, Wentworth waved his hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Lucius, I am not interested in your past. Whether you are a real Death Eater or not has nothing to do with our Witch Party. You don't have to be so nervous."
After hearing what Wentworth said, Lucius slowly sat back in his seat with a look of fear on his face.
But Wentworth suddenly smiled evilly and said, "Do you know where Barty Crouch Jr. is now?"
Hearing Wentworth's question, Lucius answered subconsciously:
"Azkaban, of course!"
