“…… I don't understand what you mean, Professor Silva. ”

Lucius Malfoy struggled to calm himself down and looked directly at Ricardo.

"I'm not a troublesome person, but I'm also a professor," Ricardo smiled, "you know what I mean?" ”

“……”

Lucius Malfoy's eyes showed many mixed expressions, including anger, reluctance, and fear...... But soon, his expression became calm, as if there were no waves in the ancient well.

"I don't understand, what are you talking about?"

"Don't understand?"

Ricardo smiled, didn't say much, and patted Lucius on the shoulder with the worn-out deformed textbook: "That...... Don't get it. But how about trading? ”

"What deal?"

Instead of answering him directly, Ricardo turned around and asked Ginny, who was standing by the wall:

"Miss Weasley, would you like Mr. Malfoy to pay a premium for your textbooks?"

Ginny was stunned for a moment, and then saw the corners of Ricardo's mouth curled up, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

Every Weasley has a talent for cheating Malfoy—except for someone, perhaps.

"Okay, then we'll have to see how much money the Malfoys can come up with......"

"You don't need him to tell the price, we'll set it cheaply," Ricardo tilted his head and smiled tacitly, "How about a hundred gold Galleons?" ”

Lucius's expression was like eating a fly. A hundred gold Galleons is not a lot of money for the Malfoys - although it could buy dozens of identical new books - but it is a lot of money for their sworn enemies!

"Hmm...... Barely enough. Ginny was a little surprised, but still pretended to be generous.

"Dad......" Even Draco Malfoy had a bit of an opinion, and he tugged at Lucius's sleeve to speak, but Lucius glared at him sternly, telling him to shut up.

"Alright then, Mr. Lucius Malfoy," Ricardo finally turned to look at Lucius, "I think the Malfoys should be able to afford that." ”

Lucius didn't speak, handed out a money bag, quickly snatched the Transfiguration textbook, weighed it in his hand, and then, his face suddenly turned from chalk white to corpse white.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, for your discernment in seeing such a collectible antique."

Ricardo tossed the money bag, and then threw it: "Little girl, go on." ”

He tossed the purse to Ginny, and patted Lucius on the shoulder, "Congratulations, man, I'm sure it will be worth a lot in a few hundred years." ”

"It's ......"

"Don't you see it yet? There must be something strange about the textbook, which was discovered by this person! So Lucius Malfoy had to spend money to buy the evidence! ”

"No, that's not all, see Lucius Malfoy's prostration-like expression? Most likely, he was moved by Professor Silva! ”

"Hahaha...... Malfoy sends money to Weasley...... It's the first time I've seen it in my life! ”

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and everyone could see that Lucius was being put on a stand by the professor in front of him.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Ricardo lowered his voice and said in a cold tone: "I don't care what grievances you have with the Weasley family, don't hurt my students, I'll make trouble with you as much as you want." This time it's just a small warning, but if you do anything to the students next time, don't blame me for chopping off the hands and feet! ”

A black aura flashed from Lucius's palm, and in an instant, it entered Lucius's body.

Lucius's body shuddered, and the coercion he knew so familiar ran down his shoulders and through his body, sending chills to his hands and feet. The sign on one of the arms seems to be ready to spew out.

This feeling...... How exactly the same as that adult!

Don't......

He watched as he had greeted the Weasleys — for some reason, Lucius felt Ricciardo's gaze linger on Harry for a long time — and then walked with Barburing to Ricardo outside the store, feeling funny in his heart.

How can the "disciples" of their own masters go so far with these pure-blooded scum?

He frowned, but quickly let go, as if he realized something bad, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

Master...... Maybe you're getting smarter.

……

After all, it was a disturbance in the store, and Ricardo was embarrassed to stay here any longer, and after handing over a piece of paper asking Lockhart to go to the ice cream parlor to the staff, he and Barburing left the bookstore.

"How long do you think Lockhart will come? I don't want to wait too long. ”

Ricardo casually ordered an ice cream and asked.

"Estimated...... It will be a long time. Alas, by the way, you just seem to have cut off the door of the bookstore? ”

Ricardo was stunned for a moment, as if he ...... That is true?

And then...... He doesn't seem to lose money?

“…… The shopkeeper probably saw that you were too imposing and was frightened," Barburing smiled and shook her head, "However, I think Malfoy will lose money." ”

"That's for sure, that's for sure," Ricardo thought for a moment and put his mind at ease, "he's paying for his teaching, I've taught him something useful, he should pay a little bit, well, that's it." ”

Babling looked at Ricciardo's self-hypnotic appearance and couldn't help but be happy: "Hey, I said, what did you find?" Let Lucius, the old fox, be deflated? ”

"Hmm...... After all, I've cheated this guy, so I won't say it. Ricardo shook his head, secretly noticing Babling's address to Lucius Malfoy.

Here, only close friends call each other by their names.

"Okay......" Babling pouted, "I'll see if the door panel problem is solved, and you can wait for Lockhart here." ”

Barburing walked out, while Ricardo sat in front of the window, lost in thought again.

It was cold, dark, and murderous—yes, he could feel that when Lucius handed Ginny the transsexuality textbook, there was an extra dark remnant in the textbook.

At that time, his anger came up. Counting students in front of a teacher, and calculating a child in a dignified adult, the two are superimposed, and Ricardo almost shook out the remnant soul directly.

But soon, Ricardo felt that the breath of the remnant soul was very familiar, and he suddenly remembered it—the gray wolf who shouted that I am going to return.

That's right, this is definitely the Dark Lord Voldemort who sent the little prince, the two-hole socket man, and the ugly one last year.

He wouldn't be mistaken about the other party's aura - after all, he had studied dark magic with him for two months last year, and he had fought this guy for three or four rounds in the open and secret, and when playing against him, his attention was always in a state of high concentration.

Ricardo was so familiar with Voldemort's aura that he recognized it even if he turned into a ghost.

But...... How could Voldemort end up in Malfoy's hands again?

He couldn't help but think of the big hole cards he took out when he threatened Voldemort last year.

So...... Could this be Voldemort's Horcrux?

Other than that......

"It's weird," he muttered, "why...... Harry Potter was just perceived by me in the same breath? If I hadn't secretly impacted this remnant soul and caused that power fluctuation, I wouldn't have been able to find out? ”

"Is it my hallucination? Still is...... Someone is covering up for him? ”
