Chapter 181
The upright and handsome man with short, clean hair yawned while arranging his suit which was made of good material but was wrinkled and stained.After gulping down the coffee brought by his hand.He asked casually.
"have they gone?"
The secretary, who was stylishly dressed and had a sexy figure, but looked a bit old, had a wanton smile on his face: "Let's go, last night, I walked away all night in a gray gray."
Frowning, he felt the slight sourness in his mouth after the mellow fragrance, and the uncomfortable drowsiness.
"Tsk, hell, the taste of this coffee is really bad."
"Coffee is not bad, it's just that you don't like it."
"So next time you should prepare wine for me."
"Alcohol? I don't want Ministry of Magic civil servants coming in to report to you and seeing a drunk Minister of Magic."
The man opened his mouth to retort.But the woman continued mercilessly, "You know exactly how much you drink."
The man stopped talking, and shook his head after a while and said, "I don't think Luke Gunter left in a daze."
The words of the Minister of Magic made the woman frown slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
The Minister of Magic didn't rush, and yawned listlessly again.Then he twisted his body awkwardly.Still couldn't help but cursed: "Let the purchaser change the coffee, Merlin's beard! I'm exhausted from drinking this coffee!"
Facing his complaints, the secretary didn't pay any attention to him, and after a while, he seemed to understand something: "You mean, Luke Gunter has only been in France for a few days, and he has taken all the benefits he deserves. ?”
"He should have even figured out a lot of things, and by the way...remembered his grudge."
There was a smile on the face of the Minister of Magic: "I don't know if he saw our shadow from behind. But many people should be stared at by him."
"You and I have heard of his ideas. There is no need to be impatient. He and some people, no matter how they cover up now, will eventually have to stand on the opposite side."
"We are the ones who stand together."
He has a confident smile on his face.
"So you want to deal with some things before you contact him? At least get all the rights you should have in your hands?"
The secretary looked at the minister who was stretching, and asked with a puzzled expression, "But it's unnecessary. If I involve him, it won't be a good thing."
"What we want...is not the kind of result that can be negotiated."
Her expression was quite serious, and there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes when she looked at the minister.
The minister leaned against the window, took a deep breath, and then said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't mean that."
"Yes, we and he seem to be on opposite sides. But it's not quite like that. Luke Gunter needs a target. And we need a target."
"Luke Gaunt, this boy who may be an outlier among the nobles, is simply a perfect target."
When he said this, the minister's eyes showed greed.
Like a hungry beast that has seen fresh blood.He wished he could swallow that boy in his stomach.But no.The boy now is like a little wolf still living in a pack of stinking puppies.
There are also a group of big dogs who regard him as the same kind.
It would be too unwise to do it now.
"Take your time, take your time, the lions and tigers haven't done anything yet, we leopards and hyenas, let's be quiet for a while."
He had a gentle smile on his face.But the secretary still caught a hint of madness in his eyes.
Her brows were slightly wrinkled, as if thinking about something.
………………
"Luke Gaunt and Dumbledore left overnight?"
It was still a magical phantom, but this time, Louis did not appear again.Here, only those his employers.
"We haven't had time to do anything yet."
It can be heard that the one wearing the top hat is very unwilling.
"Fortunately, we didn't do anything... We still underestimated Dumbledore a little..."
Another phantom shook his head and said, "You can easily extinguish that kind of Limefire... Don't tell me that you have forgotten how terrible magic Lifire is."
When he said this, everyone present was embarrassed, and no one dared to speak.
At most it's humming twice.
This is really not a joke. They all know what kind of consequences will happen once they are fully formed.
"The other party is a saint. It's normal to set fire to us and Paris. Maybe the saints still regard 'burning Paris' as an achievement."
The voice sounded very young.After he spoke, the other phantoms all fell silent.And this kind of silence is not the kind of respectful waiting for the other party to express their opinions.But closer to a kind of turning a blind eye.
After the silence lasted for a while, the agitated phantom calmed down, and leaned on the chair in a slumped manner.
Finally, a deep voice broke the awkward silence.
"Young things, we don't understand much, but, little guy, although I don't understand what you're talking about, it's better to stay away from Muggle things."
The young man shrugged noncommittally.There is no redundant response.
"Well, first of all, Louis betrayed us, and he took Gaunt's side."
The deep voice suddenly gave everyone a big surprise.
"Is this guy crazy? We have so many things about him..."
A phantom stood up from the chair and let out a shocking cry.
"You know, it's not like he doesn't have our black material on hand. Everyone is cleaner than the other."
The young man spoke in a bored tone.
Look at these phantoms in front of you.The young man with shiny silver hair smiled mercilessly, and tapped his chair with his magic wand.
Then he straightened up, stretched his waist, and said, "Isn't Louis cleaner than you? Aren't the stains on his body all because of you?"
He shook his head disdainfully, then got up and said with a smile: "I really thought that I could be your dog for the rest of my life. You better be careful now, so you don't get stabbed in your backyard."
With that said, he turned around and walked towards the table not far away.
There, there is a game console...
The phantom who stood up began to talk at length to the phantom of the young man who was sitting slack, from their natural nobility, to their natural justice, and to the status of elders of these people in front of them.Started to reprimand the young man for his inclinations again...
"Don't always think those Muggle things are good! Luke Gaunt is barely your age, but what are they talking about..."
"All right!"
The original low voice suddenly said loudly.
And the phantom who stood up suddenly fell silent, stopped talking, and sat back on the chair.
The phantom with a deep voice glanced at the silent and immobile young phantom, a little puzzled, but still nodded.
"Cultivating energy has improved..."
He grunted, but he didn't say much, but said to the phantoms in front of him: "We don't take the initiative now. Without Louis, pull the other gloves that are being cultivated." Come out and try it."
"We can't stop what we should do. Luke Gunter helped us find some clues about saints. I don't need to say more about the danger of saints. So, saints, clean up saints first."
His voice was cold and chilling.So those people stopped being perfunctory, but nodded seriously.
Although their organization is very loose, there is nothing mandatory.However, it is impossible for everyone in an organization to have a completely equal right to speak in a true sense.
It was as if the young man was about to be reprimanded.But as a young man, Luke, who can only be said to be a child, was treated like an enemy by them.
"At the same time...we have to investigate the Strange family."
He changed the subject and shifted the focus of the question to Lai Strange.
"Old Vaughan has his own problems. The news of his death spread throughout the French aristocratic circle a few years ago. But in the end, he wiped out the rebels in his family..."
Having said that, the phantom let out a mocking laugh.
"But I don't believe that nothing happened to him at all, and he still has the intention to pretend to be sick and fish."
"You mean, he was really about to die that time, but someone used some method to cure him, or... to renew his life?"
A soft female voice sounded and asked in a doubtful tone.
The phantom with a deep voice nodded and said: "I saw it with my own eyes at the time, he was really about to die, there is no doubt about it."
"Combined with his overly active contact with Luke this time, I think it should be..."
He didn't finish the sentence, but everyone guessed what it meant...
"Vaughn needs the Philosopher's Stone to live...or he will die..."
An old voice helped him complete the second half of the sentence, but his tone was full of hesitation when he spoke.
"Did he get the Philosopher's Stone!?"
He suddenly said with a little surprise.
What he said stunned many people for a moment.
But in the next moment, someone made an excuse to refute.
"Even if Old Vaughan really handed over his granddaughter, he still can't exchange for the Philosopher's Stone..."
That's a polite way of saying it.
So someone said with a sarcasm: "Give the Philosopher's Stone to Old Vaughan, what's the use of marrying his granddaughter? Can you still inherit the family property?"
Everyone present felt a little amused and shook their heads.
Luke Gunter would never hand over something like the Sorcerer's Stone, because it was a girl he met for the first time.Or the kind that can only be exchanged for one girl.
If Luke Gunter is really so easy to deal with, they don't have to beat around the bush. Who doesn't have a few beautiful juniors in his family.
If you can really get the Sorcerer's Stone, you can get what you want, even if you don't have one at home, it's not a problem at all to recognize someone as an adopted daughter from outside.
But with a smile and a smile, everyone was silent... Although I felt that as long as I was not a fool, I would not make such a decision.
but……
"So check it carefully, whether you really got it or not. The old Vaughan who faced Luke's departure and was not in a hurry, there must be something wrong..."
"And it must be related to longevity..."
The deep voice spoke again.But this time, whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that these people's breathing was much heavier.
Looking at their reactions, he nodded indiscernibly.
That's the kind of response you want.
"Since there is no objection from everyone, let's do this."
........................
on the ferry.
"Who do you think exposed our whereabouts?"
Dumbledore frowned and asked strangely.He does have a guess, but this guess is a bit...too unbelievable.
After hearing his question, Luke pursed his lips and touched his chin, then shook his head helplessly and said, "To be honest, I doubted that Tin Woodman at first."
"But after careful recollection, I feel that this supernatural Tin Woodman may not necessarily be the real murderer."
"The location of the Kane family's apartment is not that bad. But judging from the fact that the other party can find Nico's house, it's not completely impossible."
Dumbledore nodded approvingly.He also thought that the Kidd in front of him could not completely rule out the suspicion...but...
"However, after careful consideration, I suddenly discovered that there is another person who is very suitable to betray us. They may even pretend to be Kidd to betray us. After all, the Ministry of Magic of any country cannot be underestimated in the true sense, can it? "
The Ministry of Magic represents order.Just this alone, it already represents enough power.
"But... all six Aurors died..."
Dumbledore shook his head.
Luke sneered: "In the eyes of some people, sixteen Aurors may not be worth as much as my life."
Cruel, but not sloppy.
"But..." Luke took a deep breath, "I'm really a little puzzled, I don't know what good it will do him."
Luke is genuinely confused.Because... there is absolutely no need to do such a thing.
He couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was.
"To be honest, I'm wondering too. If it's him, I can't figure it out."
Dumbledore frowned and said, "But even if he didn't disclose this information, he definitely contributed to it."
"The two teams of Aurors are not elite... and it's really a bit late afterward."
So, the old and the young, who were leaning on the railing and looking at the boundless sea, frowned synchronously, showing a thoughtful expression.
Gemma, who was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, looked at the two people in the distance.Although one is her arrogance and the other is her boss.
Far away, the smiling Gemma heard such a conversation.
"Professor, why do we have to go back by boat?"
"Emmm, there's no rush anyway, you know, when I go back to school, there will be a lot of work waiting for me."
"Oh~ I just want to touch fish for a while, right?"
"...You can also say that!"
