"No, Mr. Greengrass. Ryan gently placed the teacup on the lapis lazuli coffee table top, then straightened up and looked at the somewhat tired Greengrass master.

"The reasons you just said should be true, but they don't represent all the reasons. At least in my opinion, everyone who is on the side of the mystery man now has the reasons you just said, but only you have made the choice you have made now. This means that you must have something more important and unique to you. ”

"At least for a pure-blood wizard like you, these two reasons alone aren't enough. Lane stopped Mr. Greengrass, who was trying to defend himself. "Everybody is afraid of death, but if you look at my attitude towards the Malfoy family, you should know that the people I shelter will inevitably openly join me, which means that if I choose, I will be hunted down by the mysterious people, and in a way, this is no safer than now. ”

"And if you contact me now, if the mysterious person finds out, 100% of the whole family will be killed. And I killed the Death Eaters in the previous battle and spared their relatives, so in a way, it's safer for you to follow the mystery now if you want to protect your family. So it's hard for me to believe the reason you're giving me. ”

"You're right. Greengrass sighed softly and gave up his defense, he had looked at Ryan's youth, trying to hide his current unfavorable situation and see what he could get in exchange for Ryan with his family as a bargaining chip, but now it seems that this kind of clever approach is useless.

So in order not to be self-defeating, Greengrass simply admitted the part he had deliberately omitted just now: "Well, I think you should know what happened before the Crabbe family and the Goyle family." ”

"Of course I do. Hermione nodded. "We killed the heads of these two families in the previous battle, and then we heard that the mysterious people assigned their wives and families to two dark wizard leaders who came here from Eastern Europe. ”

"Yes, that's it. Mr. Greengrass smiled wryly and nodded. "I really didn't tell the truth about one thing just now, that is, for us, the survival of the family is far more important than the life and death of the individual, so I am not afraid of death. But now, the Dark Lord's orders are destroying my clan. ”

"As I have hinted in the children's literature that remained in Hogsmeade, the Dark Lord has found the legendary Hopping Cauldron and intends to reverse the magic on the Hopping Cauldron and use the treasure's properties to contaminate a large number of Muggles at once to make Yin Corpses. And I will be one of the executors of this operation, carrying out this dangerous mission. ”

"If you're going to die, I don't think you'll be able to escape us. Ryan exclaimed, "You should know that the wizards we killed before were innocent killers, and what you're going to do this time is exactly that." ”

"Yes, of course I know that," Greengrass nodded, "and the reason why I am reporting to you is because at the same time as the Dark Lord assigned my two daughters husbands from Eastern Europe, and asked them to marry within the next two months. When I die, my two daughters will marry someone else, and the Greengrass family will disappear from this world forever. ”

"It's like Crabbe and the Goyles - no, it should be worse. "Ryan can understand why Greengrass is in a hurry to find himself here, once he dies, the two appointed sons-in-law will definitely embezzle everything in the Greengrass family. Then this ancient family, which was listed as a tribute to the Holy 28 families, disappeared from history.

This reminded Ryan of why, after the war ended, Malfoy married his family's youngest daughter, Astoria. It is estimated that Daphne, the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family at that time, is likely to choose to recruit a son-in-law to maintain the existence of the family in marriage.

"It's horrible," Hermione muttered quietly through the Phoenix Brand, she had dealt with the eldest daughter of the Greengrass family during her second-year school tour, after all, the war had not yet broken out, and there was no tension between pure-blood wizards and hemp wizards who had not experienced war. "At that time, Daphne told me that she had a good father, but I didn't expect to be so cold-blooded. ”

"Whether magical or not, the marriage of the nobility will not be based on feelings as the main consideration as we are, and their core is profit. Ryan also replied silently through the phoenix brand, "Think of Princess Diana, who died only a few months ago, for them, the weight of love in marriage is even negligible. ”

After answering Hermione's inner question, Ryan looked at Mr. Greengrass and said, "Now that I know about this attack, I will definitely stop it." Since you've tipped us off, we'll let you go, and promise not to tell anyone about what happened tonight, not even Professor Dumbledore. ”

"But, but—" Mr. Greengrass's eyes widened, what Ryan was doing now was completely unexpected, he had wanted to get Ryan to provide him with some shelter through his own information this time, but he didn't expect to get only a promise not to be hunted down.

Such a promise made no sense to William Greengrass, as he was not the only one involved in ritual magic, and when the time came, Ryan was the only one left after killing all the others. Even if the mysterious person's soul is now much worse than before after slicing, he should be able to see the problem here.

Previously, Greengrass felt that as one of the Holy 28 families standing at the top of the British wizarding world, his refuge should be very important. Theoretically, Ryan would try to keep him safe. But I didn't expect Ryan to treat them as if they were dead, and didn't care whether they were dead or alive at all.

"Don't get excited, sir. Looking at Greengrass, who had put his hand in his pocket, Ryan waved his right hand slightly. In an instant, several magic arrays appeared on the walls of the house and pointed at Greengrass.

"That's all you get for what you give, and as I just said, those whom I shelter must openly come to me. I wouldn't force anyone if they didn't want to, but how much I do depends entirely on how much they give. ”

Greengrass got one thing wrong, and instead of trying his best to defeat Voldemort like Dumbledore, Ryan wanted to use this war to permanently destroy the dominance of these pure-blood families in the British wizarding world. In such a situation, the pure-blood family can be said to be their enemy. How could Ryan spend a lot of money to win them over?

"Okay, okay. Greengrass slowly pulled his free palm out of his pocket and slowly placed it on his knee. The whole person looked much older all at once, and when Ryan took control of all the defensive magic in the entire house and pointed it at him in an instant, Mr. Greengrass knew that he had miscalculated everything for the day.

He had thought that Ryan was a hero with a strong sense of justice and hatred, or a researcher who was a bit of a nerd, which was normal for a young man. But what he didn't expect was that Ryan was completely different from what he imagined.

"You must know that I have two daughters, and that Daphne has been to Brazil with you—" Mr. Greengrass said in a pleading tone, but was interrupted by Ryan's flat words.

"I'm sorry to hear that, but as a member of a pure-blood family, you also have to pay for the benefits. But for the sake of my classmates, if they really have misfortune because of you, I promise to go to see them every year in a black dress and a white carnation. ”
