Luke looked at Worm Lance's face with a smile.

The old, resolute, and arrogant face was actually revealed with the expression of a merchant-like philistine at this time.

But now Luke was not in a hurry, he walked to Professor McGonagall's chair, and then sat down in the chair very indifferently.

Professor McGonagall shook her head silently, then turned and left the room. This is what she and Luke agreed earlier. There are some things that she can't get involved with, who is not a member of the two families.

Dirty deals between nobles, Professor McGonagall had long expected that.

After Professor McGonagall left, the smile on Luke's lips was no longer warm and bright.

The corners of his mouth were raised upwards by three points, making his lips a little thinner, and his eyebrows slightly raised.

Although it is still the original handsome face. But the temperament of the whole person has changed from the warm sun to a lot colder.

This face, such an expression really made Worm feel like an old man had crawled out of hell and was ready to re-prepare for the chaos of the world.

"The issue of reputation...... Why? Since you have chosen to terminate the contract, you are already ready to give up all your reputation, aren't you? ”

Luke said with a smile on his usual face.

Worm didn't speak, just held out his hand to Lake behind him.

Lake immediately pressed the red gem on the box in his hand.

As the finger presses, the ruby sinks, and the red color fades, and the overall color of the gemstone becomes bright yellow.

Then he opened the box again, and took out a large stack of parchment and an old-looking notebook.

Lake respectfully handed everything in his hand to Worm.

Worm, after taking the vast amount of property with one hand, held them in both hands and placed them on the table in front of Luke's eyes.

"You also know how precious reputation is to a family."

Worm didn't care about the sarcasm in Luke's words. just said calmly: "These are the rewards that were originally promised to be given to you. ”

Luke simply flipped through it, and the top one was the notebook, and when he opened it, it was a mess of contents, and he couldn't figure out what it meant.

But the name on the book is obvious.。

"Godric Gryffindor."

When Luke pronounced the name, the signature on the notebook lit up red, and a red lion appeared on the original gray and old cover.

Worm and Lake looked calm. Obviously, they already knew about it.

Luke opened the notebook again and found that nothing had changed in its contents. It's just that on the edge of each page of notes, there are lines like a lion's mane.

After sighing in his heart, "It's really not that simple", he closed the notebook.

Underneath the notebook is a letter of appointment.

The main thing above is that the school board has agreed that Luke Gaunt will be the new school trustee to replace Worm Lance.

Below are the signatures of the Board of Trustees. Luke also saw the name of Lucius Malfoy in it.

It doesn't look like he knew about Luke's murder of his son. Otherwise, it is estimated that it would not be so easy to give Luke this convenience.

Under the letter of assignment are more title deeds and assignments.

Without exception, the name of the owner of these estates has become Luke.

It stands to reason that Luke should also come forward in this transfer, but of course the Reims family will not be ambiguous on this little matter. If you don't show up, you can do it naturally.

"About half of all the industries are in Diagon Alley, and the other part is in other countries. This is also to make it easier for you to find your own property in various places if you travel in the future. ”

"Please rest assured, we have only withdrawn the management of the Reims family in all industries, most of them are managers, and you can appoint your own new managers or appoint your own people."

Luke nodded after hearing this, this is indeed a more intimate approach. From this point of view, the Reims family is indeed very sincere. Although the managers have been removed, the industry can continue to operate without being paralyzed.

After all, there are so many people, and Luke doesn't know how to choose for a while.

If he is really paralyzed, he can only stare dryly.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Luke restrained the arrogance on his face at this time, and thanked Worm seriously.

"That's what we're supposed to do."

Worm didn't accept this thanks, if he really played some small tricks, he could indeed be angry for a while. But it's not a good thing to tear your face with your previous boss.

"Now, can we talk about what we just asked?"

Worm looked serious: "I can understand what you said at the gate of the castle, so please explain the conditions directly." ”

"We can't afford to accept a covenant with such harsh conditions."

Luke looked pensive, then silently made a gesture of thought.

Fingers snapped lightly on the tabletop, frowning.

Worm's words were also clear, and they could accept another covenant with much more lenient terms. In other words, the Gaunt family must treat the Reims family in a similar position.

In this way, all the bad effects caused by the termination of the contract today can be turned into beneficial effects for the Reims family. Their status will be improved, and they will get a lot of praise.

After all, it is equivalent to a jump in the aristocratic level.

And Luke, of course, is also good. After becoming an ally, he doesn't have to worry about those industries. The Lance family will arrange it, and they only need to receive the money.

And there is no doubt that he will be able to get the support of an ally of sufficient status when his strategy is carried out. And there will be more money and treasures to be delivered.

The shortcomings are also obvious, if this covenant is signed, it shows that the Gunt family is indeed in a period of weakness. Even his own retainers couldn't suppress it.

Although this kind of thing is obvious to everyone, it is another thing to actually show it. A lot of greedy guys will surround like sharks that smell blood.

They disdain the Gunter family, and they don't dare to invade it.

But a wonderful heir to the Gaunt family, they will all be very interested.

"I can't agree to this condition."

Luke didn't think long before he spoke.

Wurm's face didn't change. The conditions are all negotiated, and if Luke agrees directly, then he has to think about whether to refuse.

The conditions he proposed are absolutely beneficial to the Reims family, but for the Gunter family, it will do more harm than good.

If Luke agrees directly, then it means that when necessary, or after he gets up, he will immediately tear up the covenant and trample the Lance family under his feet again.

That's what they can't accept.
