After hearing what Voldemort said, Lucius knew that his son could not escape after all. At this time, Lucius could only pray in his heart that the mission Voldemort gave to Draco was not a life-threatening one like assassinating Albus Dumbledore.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Lucius could only bite the bullet and ask:

"Great Master, I wonder what task you are going to give Draco?"

And Voldemort replied:

"Lucius, don't worry, I won't give Draco a task he can't complete. This task is simple, but it requires your cooperation!"

Hearing Voldemort's words, Lucius heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease. Voldemort then continued, "The Hogwarts holiday is almost here! Lucius, I want you to write a letter to Draco and ask him to invite his friends to visit Malfoy Manor!"

Lucius was stunned when he heard Voldemort's words, and repeated in confusion: "Be guests? Let Draco invite his friends to Malfoy Manor?!"

Lucius never expected that what Voldemort gave Draco was such a simple thing, and he even found it hard to believe.

Although Lucius knew that Voldemort must be up to something bad, he didn't care about the lives of others. He only knew that this mission was simple and Draco didn't face any big risks. That was enough! Thinking of this, Lucius quickly agreed and said, "Don't worry, Master. I will write the letter right away. I promise that Draco can complete your mission!"

As soon as Lucius finished speaking, Voldemort spoke again: "Don't be anxious, Lucius, I haven't finished what I want to say yet!"

Hearing Voldemort's words, Lucius' heart could not help but rise again. He only listened to Voldemort slowly speaking word by word:

"Among the friends Draco invites, there must be one person, and that is Harry Potter! Harry Potter must be brought here no matter what! Do you understand? Lucius Malfoy!"

After hearing what Voldemort said, Lucius Malfoy suddenly realized that Voldemort's target was actually Harry Potter!

However, in Lucius's eyes, the life and death of Harry Potter was no different from that of other Hogwarts students. As long as they did not threaten Draco, Lucius did not care about the life and death of others.

Therefore, Lucius continued to speak with a smile on his face: "Of course, great master! Draco and that bastard Harry Potter are very good friends. I believe that Draco can complete the task!"

Hearing Lucius's statement, Voldemort seemed very satisfied, and said meaningfully: "Of course, Lucius, I know this. I know much more than you think I know!"

After hearing what Voldemort said, Lucius glanced at Peter Pettigrew, who was standing there with shifty eyes. Lucius knew that it must be Peter Pettigrew who revealed the information about Draco to Voldemort.

Thinking of this, when Lucius looked at Peter Pettigrew, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, followed by a deep contempt.

But Peter Pettigrew didn't seem to care at all. When he saw Lucius looking at him, Peter Pettigrew glared at Lucius as if in protest.

Soon, after urging Lucius to act quickly, Peter Pettigrew turned and left Malfoy Manor.

As soon as Lucius stood up, Narcissa pushed him to the ground again.

Lucius was stunned at first, then he became furious. He stood up quickly, pointed at Narcissa's nose, and said loudly: "Why...why are you still supporting me? I can stand up by myself..."

However, before Lucius could vent his anger, Narcissa rolled her eyes and made him lose his temper.

Afterwards, Lucius didn't bother to blame Narcissa. He walked to the chair alone, looking a little lonely, and slowly walked down.

Narcissa couldn't help but feel sad when she saw her husband's dejected expression, but she still came to Lucius and said, "Lucius, didn't we agree on this? We chose the Witch Party this time! Why did you agree to his request just now?!"

"Do you know what will happen to us if the witch party finds out about this? And how much trouble will it bring to Draco?!"

Hearing Narcissa's words, Lucius waved his hand impatiently and said:

"If we agree to Voldemort, maybe we will be killed by the Witch Party. But if we don't agree to Voldemort, maybe we will die tonight! Tell me, what should I do?!"

After hearing what Lucius said, Narcissa knew that what Lucius said was the truth, but Narcissa still said coldly: "Even if both of us die, at least Draco can live, right?! Perhaps, Draco can even be more valued by the Witch Party because of this!"

"If I had a choice, I would rather use our lives to give Draco a bright future! Rather than just hiding like a mouse in the future! I don't have an Animagus, so I can't turn into a mouse!"

Hearing Narcissa's words, Lucius couldn't help but speak in defense with some grievance:

"Narcissa, my love for Draco is no less than yours! If I had a choice, would I let my own son do this?!"

After hearing Lucius's answer, Narcissa quickly said, "Then let's go find Dumbledore and ask him to protect Draco. Then we'll go find the wizarding party and tell them everything!"

But this time, Lucius did not agree with Narcissa's proposal. Instead, he slapped the table heavily with his backhand and said with a ferocious expression: "Narcissa, don't you see it?! Voldemort is well prepared! He can even subdue those inhuman Dementors, what else can't he do?! This time, no one can stop his comeback!"

"As for the Witch Party... they are probably still searching the world for Wentworth, right?! What would the Witch Party be like without its leader? In the past few decades, before Wentworth showed up, who would have remembered the Witch Party?!"

"If Wentworth were still in the Witch Party, even if he was still in Hogwarts, I would make the same choice as you without hesitation! Use my life to show Draco's loyalty to the Witch Party. Do you think I can't do it?"

"But now... I don't see any hope for the Wu party to win! Because the person who brought hope to the Wu party... is gone..."
