Chapter 197 New Visitors

Vita thought about it carefully and shook her head.

"It's unlikely. We did place a lot of people in the Ministry of Magic, but they stayed there for too short a time."

"The important position of director is too far away from them."

"Even Alan doesn't have enough experience."

"The Auror Command is also a place that can't be let go..."

"That's right. If you want to replace Gringotts and Diagon Alley, the Auror Command will never let go." Argus agreed.

"However, such a good opportunity can't be missed in vain."

At this moment, the house elf of the manor suddenly knocked on the door.

"Master, Mr. Malfoy is visiting and is waiting in the living room now."

"Malfoy?"

Argus frowned slightly, and suddenly seemed to think of something and smiled.

Vita thought it was Draco coming over, so she stopped talking.

"Your classmates are here, so let's talk later. Go and entertain your classmates first."

"Aunt Vita, you guessed wrong this time!" Argus stood up and straightened his clothes.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lucius who came this time."

"Draco won't wait in the living room obediently. He should have run outside to play Quidditch when he heard that I had something to do."

"Only Lucius can wait patiently in the living room for me to come over."

"That's true." Vita shook her head and smiled.

"You go talk to him, I won't go over."

"If I go over, I guess he won't even be able to sit still."

Vita picked up the documents on the table, stood up and walked out.

When Argus came to the living room, Lucius was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Seeing Argus coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Argus responded with a smile, and at the same time signaled the house elf to bring him a glass of pumpkin juice.

He took a sip and said, "Mr. Malfoy, if I remember correctly, today should be the British pure-blood family council."

"Yes, most of the pure-blood families want to make peace with the saints."

"Most?"

Argus was not surprised about the peace talks.

Few of these pure-bloods who are used to a luxurious life dare to really fight with the saints.

He would rather sacrifice some interests to ensure his current life.

As long as he finds that he cannot solve the problem of the Saints, he will make peace.

The only thing that surprised him was that there were still families who wanted to continue the war.

"Yes, except for a few families such as the Rawl and Selwyn families, other families are no longer willing to continue to be enemies with the Saints."

"What happened in the past few days really scared them."

"If they were not scared, they probably wouldn't stop so quickly." Argus chuckled and motioned Lucius to continue.

"The pure-blood family suffered a lot of losses this time, which can be called a serious injury."

"What about you? How much did you lose?"

"With your reminder, Malfoy's losses are not big, there is only one manor, Parkinson, Greengrass and others are also within an acceptable range, and the real trouble is Crouch."

"Barty Crouch?"

When mentioning this name, Argus's eyes gradually gathered.

"Yes, you must have known about him. Many wizards outside have requested that he be removed from his position as director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department."

"But the pure-blood families are unlikely to be willing to give up this position."

"So they plan to join forces to save Barty Crouch first?"

A plan gradually formed in Argus's mind.

Perhaps... I can take advantage of the opportunity of the pure-blood families to push Allen up one step.

"Yes, almost every pure-blood family has some connections in the Ministry of Magic."

"With so many families joining forces, it shouldn't be a problem to keep Barty Crouch's position."

Lucius picked up the teacup and looked at Argus from time to time to observe his reaction.

Tentatively expressed his thoughts.

"They can't save him!"

Lucius was stunned by Argus' words.

It seemed that he couldn't understand why he was so sure.

When Argus heard that the pure-blood families planned to join forces to save Barty Crouch, he suddenly thought of someone he had ignored before.

Voldemort's diehard! He is also one of the most important chess pieces for him to revive!

Barty Crouch's son, Barty Crouch Jr.!

If I remember correctly, Barty Crouch Jr. was a Death Eater and was originally sent to Azkaban.

After staying there for a while, his mother became seriously ill. In order to save her son's life, she took Polyjuice Potion and replaced Barty Crouch Jr.

Barty Crouch knew about this, but chose to conceal it.

This is a fatal handle for a senior official of the Ministry of Magic!

Lucius didn't know this, and thought that the last time he defeated the Pure Blood Family Alliance, Argus was overconfident.

He thought that the Pure Blood Family was nothing more than that.

Hesitantly asked: "Mr. Grindelwald, I don't know what you mean?"

"Do you still remember your companions when you followed Voldemort."

"Companions..." Lucius murmured in a low voice: "You mean... Barty Crouch Jr.?"

"Isn't he dead?"

"What if he's not dead?"

Not dead!

Lucius stood up with a look of horror in his eyes.

Not only was he shocked by the news, he was also shocked by Argus's intelligence!

He was not stupid, and he could tell at a glance that Barty Crouch Jr. was alive because of his father's help.

But this kind of thing must be done with extreme caution and secrecy!

Only Barty Crouch and his son even know!

How did Yagus know?

Even the deepest secrets of such high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic can be found out. Argus's information is simply beyond Lucius's imagination!

"It seems that you have already thought that once the information about Barty Crouch Jr. is leaked, what awaits Barty Crouch may not be as simple as resigning."

"Even he himself will be imprisoned in Azkaban!"

"What's the use of having more connections in a pure-blood family? Do you think Fudge will let him go?"

"Will the British wizards let him go? Unless Barty Crouch dares to be the enemy of the entire wizarding world."

"If he had this ability, would he still need to seek help from other families?"

Yagus's words made Lucius completely relieved.

A somewhat relaxed smile finally appeared on his face.

This move has strangled Barty Crouch, or the pure-blood family's Achilles' heel!

No matter how the opponent moves, just one King Blast move can turn the tide of the battle in an instant!

The two chatted for a long time about the pure-blood family's subsequent actions.

When Lucius left, Vita came in to continue discussing follow-up matters with Yagus.

The house elf came to report again.

A guest that Yagus never expected came to Saint Manor...
