But after Lucius blurted out, he immediately realized that Barty Crouch Jr. must not be in Azkaban! Otherwise, Wentworth would not ask him.

Thinking of this, Lucius looked at Wentworth in shock.

When Wentworth saw Lucius's shocked expression, he knew that Lucius had understood what he meant, and then he said casually: "It seems that you have understood what I mean. That's right, Barty Crouch Jr. is not in Azkaban!"

"Back then, Barty Crouch Jr. was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, and it was his mother who accepted the punishment for him! His mother used Polyjuice Potion to transform herself into Barty Crouch Jr., and with the help of Barty Crouch, she entered Azkaban for her son!"

After hearing what Wentworth said, Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other and didn't come back to their senses for a long time. After a long time, Lucius asked in disbelief:

"Where is the real Barty Crouch Jr. now?"

"In the Crouch family's ancestral home, under the watchful eye of Barty Crouch!"

Wentworth told Lucius the truth he knew without hesitation.

After hearing Wentworth's answer, Lucius was silent for a long time. Then, his eyes gradually lit up, and he said to Wentworth excitedly: "Perhaps, we don't have to bring down Barty Crouch. We can use this matter to threaten him and make him do what we want!"

After hearing Lucius's suggestion, Wentworth first stared into Lucius' eyes, and only after Lucius looked away awkwardly did Wentworth say:

"It is for the Witch Party, Mr. Lucius Malfoy!"

Hearing Wentworth's emphasis, Lucius nodded sullenly and echoed:

"Of course, of course, I said the wrong thing just now. Of course, it was used by the Wu Cui Party!"

Wentworth then went on to say:

"Okay, these are all small matters. In fact, I am not interested in how you deal with Barty Crouch! I just want to see the result and see if it satisfies our Witch Party! Thomas Revel must become the new Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the British Ministry of Magic!"

Hearing Wentworth's emphasis, Lucius immediately straightened up and answered without hesitation: "Don't worry! With the information you provided, I will definitely give the Witch Party a satisfactory result!"

Seeing Lucius so confident, Wentworth nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Lucius with a smile:

"Don't worry, Mr. Lucius Malfoy. We are the Wizarding Party, not your Death Eaters. We are reasonable. We will not let you help us in vain this time!"

Hearing Wentworth's words, Narcissa excitedly held Lucius's hand under the table, while Lucius looked at Wentworth with a happy expression, but said:

"No, no, you are too polite. This is what we should do. Draco must have caused you a lot of trouble in Hogwarts. Please..."

However, before Lucius could finish his words, Wentworth waved his hand, indicating that Lucius did not need to do so. Then, Wentworth said, "Draco is fine, but this matter has nothing to do with Draco, but with your Malfoy family. Draco, you can't represent the Malfoy family now, right?"

Hearing Wentworth's words, Lucius and Narcissa were both stunned, and then Lucius immediately answered:

"Of course, Draco cannot represent the Malfoy family now. I don't know what you are talking about."

Looking at the weak and pitiful figure at old Greengrass's funeral, now standing in front of him, looking down at him with a smile on his face, Lucius couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.

Wentworth pointed at Auston Greengrass and said to Lucius:

"Let me introduce you to this person. He is a key member of the younger generation of our Witch Party. Like the Malfoy family, he belongs to the Greengrass family, one of the 28 Sacred Families of Britain. He is also the current leader of the Greengrass family, Auston Greengrass!"

After Wentworth finished his introduction, Auston took the lead in extending his hand to Lucius and said with a smile:

"Long time no see, Mr. Lucius Malfoy!"

Lucius also quickly extended his hand and said politely: "Yes, it has been a long time since we last met! Back then, your father and I were old friends! I was originally worried about whether the Greengrass family would fall into decline after your father's death. Now that I see you, I feel relieved!"

Then, Wentworth interrupted the two people's greetings and said, "I'm sure Mr. Lucius saw everything that happened outside Gringotts today. Let me be frank. The new bank that Harold is going to open is backed by our Witch Party! And our Witch Party has handed this matter over to Austin to be in charge!"

"I believe that with Mr. Lucius's intelligence, he can see the huge profits hidden behind this matter! In order to express our witch party's gratitude to the Malfoy family, we welcome the Malfoy family to participate and become one of the shareholders of this new bank. I wonder what Mr. Lucius thinks?!"

Hearing Wentworth's question, Lucius nodded without hesitation and said:

"Of course, it is an honor for our Malfoy family! We, the Malfoy family, are very happy to contribute our own strength to this matter!"

Hearing Lucius's answer, Wentworth nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Auston and instructed:

"In that case, the rest of the matter will be handled by you and Mr. Lucius! At that time, the Malfoy family will be left with corresponding shares according to the amount of effort Mr. Lucius has contributed!"

After hearing Wentworth's instructions, Auston immediately lowered his forehead and respectfully indicated that he understood.

Finally, Wentworth looked at Lucius and Narcissa and said with a smile:

"Mr. Lucius, you made a very wise decision. Decades or even hundreds of years later, the descendants of the Malfoy family will thank you for the decision you made today!"

Then, Wentworth stood up and left Malfoy Manor with Lucius and Narcissa seeing him off with smiles on their faces.

Lucius still had a bright smile on his face until Wentworth left. Lucius knew that neither he nor the Malfoy family had the right to refuse Wentworth's request.

And finally, being able to join the Central Bank of the Wizarding World that Harold was about to establish was a complete surprise.

On the contrary, Narcissa had been silent since Wentworth left. Seeing her husband's excited look, Narcissa suddenly said, "Lucius, don't you think that the Witch Party is much more terrifying than the Death Eaters?"
