Chapter 492 Malfoy's Difficulty

The road had already been given up, so Lucius naturally had to be sensible. He took a deep breath and continued to carry the Vanishing Cabinet towards Voldemort not far away.

However, he walked very slowly, and his face was pale, as if the Vanishing Cabinet was very heavy.

But the main reason for this situation was not the Vanishing Cabinet, but the Death Eaters gathered on both sides of the "road".

They looked at Lucius with malice, sarcasm and gloating, which made Lucius furious.

After all, he had provided these people with food and drink during this period, but now they looked at him as if he were a monkey.

Lucius held back his anger and walked through the crowd. At this moment, he no longer cared about how Voldemort knew the news. He gently placed the Vanishing Cabinet on the ground, knelt on one knee and said to Voldemort, who was sitting at the head of the long table with a big horse and a golden sword:

"Master, I have brought the Vanishing Cabinet back."

Voldemort laughed and stood up and walked quickly to Lucius. The corners of his robe fluttered with his movements, and his shape was like a ghost.

Lucius closed his eyes instinctively, but Voldemort didn't care about him at all, but reached out and touched the Vanishing Cabinet with dust on it.

"Yes, it is indeed the Vanishing Cabinet." Voldemort fumbled with the Vanishing Cabinet and said in a cold voice, "But how can you be sure that it is a pair with the one in Hogwarts?"

As soon as Voldemort finished speaking, Bellatrix came out with two people. Lucius looked closely and his eyes were about to burst, because the two people were Draco and Narcissa.

At this moment, Draco and Narcissa no longer had the noble demeanor they had in Diagon Alley. Draco was shaking like a sieve, while his mother was crying and hugging him and comforting him softly.

"The master is asking you a question!"

Bellatrix gently patted Draco's shoulder to remind him, but her behavior made Draco tremble even more.

He stammered,

"I... I swear this must be true."

"I want proof."

Voldemort's cold voice came again. This time Draco was really panicked. He looked at Bellatrix helplessly. According to his mother, Bellatrix was his aunt, and she should not watch him being punished by the master.

Lucius, who was kneeling on one knee, was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Voldemort pleadingly,

"Severus! Let Severus go. He is now the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. He must have a way to prove it!"

As soon as these words came out, the Death Eaters laughed in the dim and spacious meeting room. Voldemort, who was standing in front of Lucius, also grinned and laughed like a night owl.

Everyone present thought that Lucius was probably crazy.

Snape, the spy, had never been trusted by Voldemort. His absence today proved that Voldemort did not want him to know about this matter. But Lucius actually proposed that Snape go to investigate this matter?

This is really stupid!

Listening to the laughter echoing in his ears, Lucius's face flushed red. He soon figured out the key to it and lowered his head with gritted teeth.

Voldemort looked at Lucius kneeling on the ground with disdain, turned his head and grinned at Draco and said:

"How about this, Draco, I won't make it difficult for you. I will send someone to accompany you later. As long as you two use this vanishing cabinet once, I will believe you. How about it?" As soon

as these words came out, Narcissa and Lucius were immediately desperate.

Space teleportation is an extremely dangerous magic. If it is not handled properly, it can cause disability or even death.

Now the vanishing cabinet in front of them cannot be proven to continue to be used. If there is any accident on the way, Draco may never come back!

Unfortunately, although Voldemort used a question, he did not mean to give Draco a choice. He looked at the crowd and said,

"Who is willing to go with Draco?"

Voldemort's voice echoed in the meeting room, but the crowd that was noisy just now was silent. The Death Eaters standing at the front of the crowd were even trying to squeeze back desperately, trying to hide themselves so as not to be chosen by Voldemort. Unfortunately, the people behind them were also the same. Those people grabbed their bodies tightly and made them unable to move.

Voldemort's face suddenly darkened. He obviously overestimated the loyalty of these people to him.

At this time, Bellatrix stood up.

"Oh my god!"

Bellatrix's voice attracted everyone's attention. She glanced at everyone with disdain and said sarcastically:

"You are all a bunch of cowards!"

The crowd suddenly became a little commotion, but finally calmed down.

There were even many people looking at Bellatrix with a smile. In their eyes, it doesn't matter if she is a coward, as long as she can survive.

Voldemort's expression became a little better. He laughed and said:

"Bellatrix, you are indeed my most loyal subordinate!"

Bellatrix laughed very happily. She reached out and grabbed Draco's hand and was about to pull the courage forward, but was stopped by Narcissa beside her.

"Bella..."

Narcissa said softly, with pleading in her eyes.

"Don't worry!"

Bellatrix nodded impatiently, and then dragged Draco, who was terrified, into the disappearing cabinet without hesitation.

With the door of the disappearing cabinet being closed heavily, the meeting room returned to silence again. The Malfoys and even Voldemort stared at the door, waiting for the result.

But most of the Death Eaters below were smiling.

In their opinion, a woman like Bellatrix is ​​completely a fool! Otherwise, ordinary people would not even have time to hide from such misfortune, so who would get involved?

Time passed bit by bit, and as the two of them entered the Vanishing Cabinet for longer, the gloating expressions on the Death Eaters' faces became more intense.

Lucius' heart was falling into the abyss of despair. He really wanted to rush up and fight Voldemort, but his remaining rationality made him keep his head down so that Voldemort would not see the hatred on his face.

Voldemort was not having a good time now. He was full of irritability. If Bellatrix and Draco really couldn't come back, he would lose two handy tools, Bellatrix and the Malfoy family. This was obviously not a good deal.

Voldemort couldn't help but start to regret it.

Just when everyone was thinking about it, the door of the vanishing cabinet was opened again. Bellatrix came out with an excited face, followed by Draco. At this moment, Bellatrix was holding a knight's armor helmet in her hand, and there was even a Santa hat on it!

"The vanishing cabinet is fine. We were indeed teleported to Hogwarts!"

Bellatrix respectfully handed the helmet in her hand to Voldemort, suppressing her excitement.

"Not bad, very good!"

Voldemort stroked the helmet with a smile on his face.

He felt a very familiar breath on the helmet, which was the unique smell of Hogwarts Castle!

...

At the same time, in the Foley Manor, Mike was smiling and looking at Uncle Mario in front of him.

Compared with the last time they met, Mario Foley had aged a lot, and even had a lot of white hair on his temples. It seemed that he was very worried recently.

But he was in very good spirits, sitting there like a big bell, and his expression was very serious.

On the other hand, Mike was not like that. He crossed his legs casually and asked in a relaxed manner:

"Uncle Mario, where is Ebut? Why didn't I see him today?"

When it came to Ebut, a smile appeared on Mario's face. He laughed and said:

"I have sent him to the United States a long time ago. Now he has become an Auror of the Magical Congress of the United States.

Hehehe, those American country bumpkins think that he has noble blood and strong abilities, and he is also rich, so they have been licking him!"

Mike smiled and nodded. He was not surprised at all that this situation would occur.

But Uncle Mario obviously hadn't said enough. He took a big gulp of the precious black tea on the coffee table and continued,

"Now, the Free Family has basically established a foothold in the United States. I have already transferred most of the industries that can be transferred there. As for the remaining industries, it depends on the situation in Ying Country. But I have figured it out. If those industries can be kept, they will be kept. If they can't be kept, I won't feel bad about destroying them. Anyway, it's just a drizzle for the Free Family."

Uncle Mario was obviously very proud of the progress of the Free Family. He even crossed his legs like Mike.

But Mike was a little indifferent and just smiled indifferently.

In fact, to be honest, the progress of Los Santos Group in entering the United States is much faster than that of the Free Group.

You have to know that the Magic Congress in the United States is extremely contradictory. On the one hand, they crazily worship those pure-blooded pure-bloods, but on the other hand, blood equality is politically correct there.

Based on the second point, the Los Santos Group, which was built by Mike and mainly composed of Muggle-blooded wizards, naturally received many preferential policies in the United States.

Today, the Los Santos Group has completely opened the door to the US market with its two flagship products, Los Santos Magic Cloth and Los Santos Magic Liquid, and other industries are also entering the market one after another.

Of course, it is not so easy to do this. Although the entry of the Los Santos Group has brought more commercial taxes to the Magical Congress of the United States, they still have to protect local enterprises and will not allow the Los Santos Group to completely enter the United States to squeeze the living space of their local enterprises.

But this does not mean that the Los Santos Group is stronger than the Foley Family. You must know that the Los Santos Group and the Foley Family are actually taking two completely different directions.

Among them, the Los Santos Group focuses on middle-class business activities, while the Foley Family takes the aristocratic route and makes friends with the top old aristocrats in the United States.

This means that there are many things that the Foley Family can do but the Los Santos Group cannot do, which is why Mike and Uncle Mario can still maintain a good relationship today.

In the social relationship of adults, pure feelings are the most unreliable, and only interests are the most important chain that binds both parties!

After chatting for a while, Mike didn't want to waste time.

He frowned and said to Mario in a serious face:

"Uncle Mario, I wonder how the matter I asked you to find out for me is going now?"

"Are you talking about the Kent family?" Mario smiled, and he smiled happily, "I have already inquired for you. A few years ago, there was indeed a family named Kent who moved from Ying Country to the United States.

According to those old guys, the man named Kent wanted to integrate into their circle at that time, but that man was too poor, and his bloodline was not as pure as he said, not even from the Holy Twenty-Eight Clans. So he disappeared after being fooled by those old nobles."

Mike was immediately interested when he heard this. At present, the Kent family can be said to be Mike's only way to find Chris. The news brought by Uncle Mario is obviously extremely useful.

Mario, who was standing by, also noticed Mike's excitement. He leaned towards Mike and asked seriously,

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Kent family?"

"There are indeed some problems. Where do they live now? Can you provide a more specific location?"

Uncle Mario rubbed his chin and said,

"The only thing I can be sure of now is that they are still in the United States. But you don't have to be disappointed. The United States is not like the United States. They can't hide such a big family. I guess I can give you accurate information before Christmas."

Mike's face suddenly showed a smile. Uncle Mario did bring him good news.

"In that case, then I'll trouble Uncle Mario."

"Hahaha! You're welcome! You're welcome!"

Mike and Mario laughed at each other. The latter's laughter was so heroic that it hurt Mike's eardrums.

Just as the two were laughing wildly, a series of crisp knocks on the door came.

Uncle Mario, who was still laughing just now, immediately became gloomy.

This is his home. Before he and Mike came in, he had told the servants not to see anyone, so the knock on the door was like a slap in his face.

However, he also knew that the other party would not disturb them if it was not an important matter, so he did not get angry, but shouted in a muffled voice:

"Come in!"

The door of the reception room was opened, and the person who came in was not the servant as Mario expected, but a handsome Asian boy, who was Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong was not timid after coming in. He nodded to Mario as a greeting and whispered in Mike's ear.

Seeing that Mike's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and the amplitude of his eyes rising was getting bigger and bigger, Mario finally couldn't help asking:

"Mike, did you encounter something good?"

"Good thing?" Mike looked at Uncle Mario and said excitedly, "Yes, it's a good thing, a great thing. If this thing goes well, Uncle Mario, your industry in Ying Country will probably not be destroyed!"
