A tentative confrontation ended with the winner not winning and the loser undefeated.

Zhang Yao drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp, looked at Voldemort who was not happy after the victory, and said with a smile: "I've played and played, let's talk about business!" ”

The business in Zhang Yao's mouth refers to the alliance between the two sides.

Hearing this, Voldemort's face changed and changed. At this time, he had the illusion of luring a wolf into the room, but this feeling was then forgotten.

For Voldemort, the most important thing was to defeat Dumbledore, not to think about what to do next.

From now on, forming an alliance with Zhang Yao is a bit of a wolf into the house. But with such a powerful ally, Voldemort believes that even if he doesn't win it over, Dumbledore won't miss it. Rather than let Dumbledore strengthen himself, it is better for him to strike first.

The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers.

Voldemort scattered the Death Eaters around him, took Lucius and Barty Jr., and invited Zhang Yao and others to the guest room on the second floor.

As soon as they came to the second floor of the castle, Zhang Yao and Voldemort sat on the sofa. The rest of the people, according to their positions, stood behind the two.

"This time, in order to defeat Dumbledore completely, I also invited allies on the American side. At present, the forces of our three parties combined, whether it is a head-on conflict or a sneak attack to win, the strength is far above Dumbledore. ”

Voldemort sat down and spoke slowly, raised his eyes to look at the Dracula behind Zhang Yao, and then said, "At present, the alliance between the two of us can be seen as taking what each needs from each other. The allies of the United States hope that after my victory over Dumbledore, I will be able to help him deal with the great enemy. This agreement is unilateral and will not conflict with your interests, and my promise to you is that after it is completed, the benefits will be divided fifty-fifty. ”

As he spoke, Voldemort flipped his right hand and made a five-to-five gesture.

Looking at Voldemort's movements in front of him, Zhang Yao smiled a little dumbly.

On the one hand, they are the Dark Lord in England, and on the other hand, they are the premier overlords in East Asia. Who would have thought that they would be like street vendors, dividing the interests here.

"Fifty-fifty, how to divide it?" After laughing, Zhang Yao didn't seem interested in Voldemort's statement.

He raised his hand to pick up the biscuits on the plate on the coffee table and split them in two. One piece was pushed in front of Voldemort, and the other piece was thrown into his mouth, chewing and saying, "The biggest hole card in Dumbledore's hand is the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that he is in charge of." I'm not interested in anything else, don't tell me you're going to split Hogwarts in two, half for you and half for me! ”

The click of chewing cookies was so harsh in the silence of the room.

Zhang Yao looked at Voldemort while eating cookies. Although he did not say no to the proposal, the intention of refusal was already unmistakable.

"Half a Hogwarts is already a lot, what more do you want?" Voldemort's face was a little displeased, England was his territory, and he had already lost a lot of money by dividing it into fifty or fifty, but he didn't expect the other party to be so greedy.

A Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where hundreds of wizards graduate each year. Although these hundreds of people don't sound like much, these people are like sparks, as long as they take time, they will definitely become sparks and fire the prairies.

"It's not what I want, it's what you can give me." Zhang Yao waved his hand with a look of disapproval on his face and said, "My name is Zhang Yao, and when I was a child, others called me plaster. As soon as I put you on it, it will be half a layer of skin and half of Hogwarts when I peel it off, it's really funny, are you here to ask for food? ”

Zhang Yao said in a joking tone, but his face was solemn, and he definitely didn't mean to joke.

Hearing this, Voldemort's face turned blue and white. Half of Hogwarts is not satisfied, where is this ally found, it is simply a living grandfather invited.

"You want all of Hogwarts! It can't be, Hogwarts has the future of the wizarding world at stake. If I gave it all to you, wouldn't it be a joke that I had been fighting Dumbledore all these years! ”

Voldemort's tone was very resolute, so resolute that not only Barty Jr. and Lucius breathed a sigh of relief, but even Hermione, who was standing behind Zhang Yao, felt that Voldemort was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Hermione's mood now is undoubtedly complicated. She was afraid of Zhang Yao's alliance with Voldemort, and even more afraid of Zhang Yao's greed. Because Hermione, who has witnessed the rise of the empire, knows deeply how interested the emperor in front of him is.

With a profit of three hundred percent, the merchant can sell the rope that hangs himself.

Zhang Yao in Hermione's eyes is not a businessman, but a hungry lion. This hungry lion seems to be very friendly at the moment. But once it tastes human flesh, whether it is Voldemort or Dumbledore, he will definitely regret it for life.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is this the Dark Lord's sincerity?"

Zhang Yao shook his head with a sneer, and said, "Compared to you, the Dark Lord, Dumbledore is much more sincere. He promised me that if I could help him, all the new Hogwarts graduates would be of service to me in the future. Compared to Dumbledore, you, the so-called Dark Lord, are so petty that I can't see any sincerity! ”

Zhang Yao's face was full of regret, from here, he sensed the difference between Voldemort and Dumbledore.

In Dumbledore's case, in the eyes of the strongest white wizard, Hogwarts was just a wizarding school, and he was just the headmaster of the school. For these graduates of the school, Dumbledore only saw it as a group of wizards who had left the school, just to serve Zhang Yao, and it was just a job.

Voldemort is different, Hogwarts in Voldemort's eyes is the source of his gathering power. The Dark Lord has a strong desire to control, and he sees the entire academy and these students as part of his strength. This makes him a little weaker than Dumbledore in terms of starting point, and a little lacking in sincerity.

Listening to Zhang Yao's words, Voldemort became silent.

Dumbledore was not distressed by the fact that he was betraying his grandfather, but Voldemort did not allow himself to do so, and could not accept such conditions.

After a long silence, Voldemort rejected Zhang Yao's proposal and said, "Let's change the conditions, if you mean the whole of Hogwarts by sincerity." Then I can only say that it is impossible, and I will never agree to such conditions! ”

"It's a pity, although I personally look forward to cooperating with you, but business is business, and people are favors, which can't be mixed up!" Voldemort's refusal made Zhang Yao understand that there was no basis for cooperation between the two of them.

Maybe it's because of the difference in perspective, Dumbledore and Voldemort are not the same personality after all. Under the difference in personality, Dumbledore can not care about Hogwarts and who to cultivate talents. But Voldemort, but he couldn't tolerate himself and made wedding dresses for others.

"When we meet again, I'm afraid it's a battlefield, cherish!" Zhang Yao smiled regretfully, grabbed a handful of biscuits from the coffee table and put them in his pocket, ate the biscuits, and walked out without looking back.

In his cold gaze, Voldemort watched Zhang Yao and the others leave. Several times he clenched his wand in his hand, trying to get up and do something.

In the end, Voldemort still chose to sit on the sofa and let Zhang Yao and the others walk out of the gate of the castle.

"Dumbledore, this damned traitor! I won't let him go, absolutely not! ”
