Lucius's body trembled, he knew that he couldn't hide today, so he had to bite the bullet and speak. "The host...... The sorcerers who took the photographs were so afraid of your might that they had fled to the Americas in advance, and I went... One step late......"

"So they're all alive and well?" Voldemort interrupted Lucius impatiently and spoke harshly.

"Master, I beg you to give me another month... Fortnight... No, in a week's time, I will be able to bring their corpses to you......" Lucius knelt at Voldemort's feet without an image, and his pure-blood honor and nobility were all left behind, and he pleaded humbly.

"Lucius, I've given you many chances, but it's a pity that you haven't cherished one of them." Voldemort looked at him in disappointment, and then suddenly asked. "Is that diary I kept at the Malfoy house still there?"

Lucius Malfoy, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, froze suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he didn't expect Voldemort to suddenly ask about this, the diary was ...... by him three years ago

"You gave it to Ivan Hals, am I right?" Voldemort spoke slowly, a hint of murderous intent in his red eyes.

"Master, I just did what you instructed, and got it to Hogwarts at the most opportune time, killing the mudbloods who didn't deserve to be wizards, and I gave it to Ivan Hals to kill him with the help of my master's power......" Lucius said with trembling and trembling.

"But you didn't do any of this, and you destroyed my diary, and even implicated something else that was equally important...... Guess how I'm going to punish you, Lucius? ”

Voldemort's gaze sharpened, and before Lucius Malfoy could reply, he waved his wand in anger.

"Crucio~"

An indescribable pain instantly invaded his whole body, and Lucius only felt as if his flesh had been torn apart, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, twisting and wailing in pain.

Draco was stunned, and he wanted to shout or pounce to save his father.

But the courage that rose in his heart disappeared the moment he saw Voldemort, and Draco seemed to have been hit by the immobilization spell, with a few tears still hanging from the corners of his eyes, and he watched his father being tortured by the Piercing Curse in a daze.

After about a minute, Voldemort put away his wand, and the screams and wails that echoed through the antechamber stopped.

Lucius reluctantly got up, and pleaded in a low voice, despite his embarrassment. "The hosts... Please, please, give me another chance, I will always be faithful to you, master. ”

"That's why I spared your life, Lucius......" Voldemort tapped his wand in his hand, turning his gaze to Draco's body. At least, you have followed my instructions this time and brought your son here. ”

Seeing Voldemort turn his gaze to himself, Draco took a few steps back in horror and nearly fell to the ground.

Lucius was worried that Draco would offend Voldemort by saying the wrong thing, so he hurriedly spoke. "Master, my son Draco has just turned fifteen this year, and his strength is weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to help much......"

"I think he'll be more useful than you." Voldemort interrupted Lucius's words, staring at Draco and asking nonchalantly. "I heard that you and Ivan Hals are in the same grade and have some friendship, right? Draco? ”

Draco's face turned pale and he shook his head frantically. "No, master, I don't have any friendship with him. Hals is the person I hate the most, he defends Potter and Weasley at school, and he gets into trouble with me together, Snape... Professor Snape can testify for me! ”

With that, Draco hurriedly looked at Snape beside him, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Snape didn't disappoint him either, and nodded immediately. "Yes, master, many people at Hogwarts know that Draco and Ivan Hals are at odds."

"Yes, I want to kill him!" Draco Malfoy shouted in fear.

"Very well, in that case, then you go and kill him!" Voldemort said with a sneer.

The expression on Draco Malfoy's face froze instantly, and his mind was a little confused, and after a moment he stammered. "But... But I'm no match for him......"

"Of course I wouldn't expect you to go head-to-head with him, Draco." Voldemort whispered, "You could have thought of other things, like putting poison in your food, setting traps, or whatever." ”

With each of Voldemort's words, Draco's face turned paler and his body trembled.

Lucius also did not expect that Voldemort would have the whim to assassinate Ivan Hals by his son.

With the cunning and strength of the other party, the possibility of being hit is very small, and this is completely a move to death.

Realizing this, Lucius didn't care whether he would offend the Dark Lord at all, and even if he wanted to persuade Voldemort to give up this idea, he was forced by Voldemort's momentum intentionally or unintentionally, and he swallowed back the words that were almost on his lips.

At this moment, Draco was cornered, and he kept looking left and right, as if hoping that someone would come to his aid, but no one responded.

Voldemort walked up to Draco.

Looking at the strange snake face that was so close, Draco nodded in horror.

"Very well, Draco, you're such a brave boy." Voldemort enthusiastically placed his hand on Draco's shoulder and said with satisfaction.

"If you can do this, then not only will I count your father's faults, but I will treat you as a faithful right-hand man and... Successor! ”

Voldemort's voice seemed to have some kind of magic, and Draco couldn't help but think of the fact that after the mission was successful, he was rewarded in public, and the large number of Death Eaters nodded even harder.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"Master, didn't you want me to provoke a fight between Hals and Dumbledore? If Draco had done something to Hals at this time, it might have been bad. ”

Voldemort turned around with a little dissatisfaction, and the person who spoke was Snape!

He didn't avoid Voldemort's gaze, but there was a faint look of doubt and worry on his face.

Voldemort stared at Snape for a moment, then suddenly laughed and explained.

"Everything has to be prepared, Severus, if your plan to provoke them fails, then Draco will come in handy......"
