The handsome man with short, lean hair yawned as he straightened his well-made but somewhat crumpled and stained suit. After drinking the coffee he brought to his men. He asked casually.

"Are you gone?"

The secretary who was dressed fashionably and had a sexy figure, but looked a little old with a wanton smile on his face: "Gone, last night, I walked away overnight." ”

He frowned and felt the slight sourness in his mouth after the mellow fragrance, as well as the slightly uncomfortable feeling of drowsiness.

"Tsk, hell, this coffee tastes really bad."

"The coffee isn't bad, you just don't like it."

"So next time you should prepare wine for me."

"Wine? I don't want a civil servant from the Ministry of Magic to come in and report to you and see a drunken Minister of Magic. ”

The man opened his mouth to refute. But the woman went on without mercy: "You know what kind of alcohol you have. ”

The man stopped talking, shook his head after a moment and said, "I don't think Luke Gaunt left in disgrace. ”

The Minister of Magic's words made the woman's brow furrow slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

The Minister of Magic didn't rush, and yawned listlessly again. Then he twisted his body awkwardly. I still couldn't help but scold: "Let the purchaser change the coffee, Merlin's beard!" I'm tired from this coffee! ”

In the face of his complaints, the secretary ignored him completely, and after a while, as if he had figured out something: "You mean, Luke Gunter has only been in France for a few days, and he has taken all the benefits he deserves?" ”

"He should have figured out a lot of things, by the way...... Remembered the grudge. ”

The Minister of Magic had a smile on his face, "I don't know if he sees our shadow from behind. But many people should be targeted by him. ”

"You and I have heard of his philosophy. There is no need to be impatient, he and some people, no matter how to cover it up now, will eventually have to stand on the opposite side. ”

"We will be the ones who stand together."

He had a confident smile on his face.

"So you want to take care of some things before you go and contact him? At least get all the rights you should hold? ”

The secretary looked at the minister who was stretching his body, and asked with a puzzled expression, "But it's not necessary." It wouldn't be a good thing if I got him involved. ”

"We want it...... It's not the kind of thing that can be negotiated. ”

Her expression was quite serious, and there was a hint of vague suspicion in her eyes when she looked at the minister.

The minister leaned against the window, took a deep breath, and then said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that." I didn't mean that. ”

"Indeed, we seem to be on opposite sides of him as well. But that's not exactly how it is. Luke Gaunt needs to put up a target. And we need a target. ”

"Luke Gaunt, the boy who may be an outlier among the nobility, is a perfect target."

As he said this, the minister's eyes showed greed.

Like a hungry beast that has seen fresh blood to eat. He wanted to swallow the boy in his stomach. But no. The boy now is like a wolf cub still living in a pack of stinky puppies.

There is also a group of big dogs around him who treat him like one of his kind.

It's too unwise to do it now.

"Take your time, take your time, the lions and tigers haven't done it yet, we leopards and hyenas and the like, let's be silent for a while."

He had a gentle smile on his face. But the secretary caught a touch of madness in his eyes.

Her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was considering something.

………………

"Luke Gaunt and Dumbledore left overnight?"

It was still a magical phantom, but this time, Louie didn't reappear. Here, it's just his employers.

"We haven't had time to do anything yet."

It can be heard that the one with the top hat is very unwilling.

"Thankfully, we didn't do anything...... We're still a little bit of a contempt for Dumbledore......"

The other phantom shook his head and said, "You can easily extinguish that kind of fire...... Don't tell me you've forgotten what terrible magic fire is. ”

When he said this, all those present were dumbfounded, and none dared to speak.

At most, it's two hums.

This is really not a joke, that level of fire, once they are fully formed, they all know what kind of consequences they will cause.

"The other party is a saint, and it's normal to set a fire on us and Paris. Perhaps the saints still regard the 'burning of Paris' as an achievement. ”

It sounds very young. As soon as he spoke, all the other phantoms fell silent. And this silence is not the kind of reverence that waits for the other side to express its opinion. And closer to a kind of blindness.

The agitated phantom calmed down after a moment of silence, and looked a little depressed as it leaned back in its chair.

Finally, a deep voice broke the awkward silence.

"We don't know much about young people's stuff, but, little one, I don't quite understand what you're saying, but it's better to stay away from Muggle stuff."

The young man shrugged noncommittally. There are no superfluous responses.

"Well, first of all, Louis betrayed us, and he sided with Gaunt."

The deep voice suddenly gave everyone a big surprise.

"Is this guy crazy? We have so many of his handles on our hands......"

A phantom figure stood up from his chair and let out a shocking shout.

"You know, it's not like he doesn't have our black material on hand. Whoever is cleaner than whom. ”

The young man spoke in a bored tone.

Look at these phantoms in front of you. The young man with shimmering silver hair smiled mercilessly and tapped his chair with his wand.

Then he straightened up and stretched, "Isn't Louis cleaner than you?" Aren't all the stains on his body because of you? ”

He shook his head disdainfully, then got up and said with a smile: "I really thought that people could be dogs for you for a lifetime." It's better to be careful now, the province's own backyard has been stabbed. ”

With that, he turned around and walked directly to the table not far away.

There, there's a game console......

The phantom who stood up began a tirade against the phantom of the young man who was sitting lazily, from their natural nobility, to their natural righteousness, and then to the identity of the elders of these people in front of him. He began to reprimand the young man for his partiality......

"Don't always think that Muggle stuff is good! Luke Gaunt is barely your age, but what are people tossing......"

"That's it!"

The originally deep voice suddenly said loudly.

The phantom who stood up was suddenly silent, stopped talking, and sat back in his chair.

The phantom in a deep voice glanced at the phantom of the young man who was silent and motionless, and was a little puzzled, but nodded anyway.

"There is ...... improvement in Qi cultivation and kung fu"

He muttered, but didn't say much, but said to the phantoms in front of him, "We don't have any initiative now. Without Louie, pull out the other gloves that were being cultivated. ”

"We can't stop doing what needs to be done. Luke Gaunt helped us find some clues about the saints. I don't need to say much about the danger of the saints. So, saints, purge the saints first. ”

His voice smacked of coldness and slaughter. So those people were no longer perfunctory, but nodded seriously.

Although their institutions are loose, there is nothing mandatory. However, it is impossible for all people in an organization to have a completely equal voice in the true sense.

It was as if the young man was about to be reprimanded. But Luke, who is also a young man, or even a child, is treated like a great enemy by them.

"At the same time...... We'll have to investigate the Strange family. ”

His words shifted to Strange's attention.

"Old Vaughn has problems in his own right, and the news that he is going to die a few years ago spread throughout the French aristocratic circles. But in the end, he exterminated his own family's rebels......"

With that, the phantom let out a mocking laugh.

"But I don't believe he's really doing nothing, and he's still trying to pretend to be sick and fishing."

"You mean, he was really going to die that time, but somebody used some method to heal him, or...... Renewed his life? ”

A soft female voice sounded, asking in a puzzled tone.

The phantom with a deep voice nodded and said, "I saw with my own eyes that he was really dying, there is no doubt about it. ”

"Add to that the fact that he was too active in reaching out to Luke this time, and I think it should be ......"

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone guessed what it meant......

"Vaughn needs the Philosopher's Stone to keep him alive...... Otherwise he will die ......"

An old voice helped him fill in the second half of the sentence, but his tone was full of hesitation when he spoke.

"Did he get the Philosopher's Stone!?"

He spoke suddenly, in some surprise.

His words stunned many people for a moment.

But in the next moment, someone made an excuse to refute it.

"Even if Old Vaughn really handed over his granddaughter, he wouldn't be able to exchange it for the Philosopher's Stone......"

That's a tactful statement.

So someone laughed sarcastically and said, "What's the use of giving the Philosopher's Stone to Old Vaughn and marrying his granddaughter?" Can I still inherit the family property? ”

Everyone present shook their heads in amusement.

Luke Gaunt would never hand over such a thing as a philosopher's stone because a girl he met for the first time. It's still the kind that can only be exchanged for one girl.

If Luke Gaunt was really so easy to deal with, they wouldn't have to beat around the bush, who doesn't have a few beautiful juniors in the family.

If you can really get the Philosopher's Stone, you can have whatever you want, even if you don't have it at home, there is no problem at all with recognizing one as an adopted daughter from the outside.

But laughing and laughing, everyone fell silent...... Although I feel that as long as I am not a fool, I will not make such a decision.

But......

"So check it out, whether you really got it or you didn't get it. Old Vaughn, who is not in a hurry in the face of Luke's departure, must have a problem......"

"And it's definitely about longevity......"

The deep voice spoke again. And this time, I don't know if it's an illusion, he feels that these people's breathing is a lot heavier.

Seeing their reactions, he nodded imperceptibly.

That's what you want.

"Since there are no objections, let's do it."

……………………

Above the ferry.

"Who do you think exposed our whereabouts?"

Dumbledore asked with a frown, a little awkward. He had a guess, but it was a bit ...... It's too bizarre.

Luke listened to his question, pursed his lips and touched his chin, then shook his head helplessly and said, "To be honest, I was suspicious of that tin man at first. ”

"But after careful recollection, I feel that this powerful iron man is not necessarily the real murderer."

"The location of the Kane family's apartment was not so bad. However, judging from the fact that the other party can find Nicol's home, it is not completely impossible. ”

Dumbledore nodded approvingly. He also believes that Kidd in front of him does not completely rule out suspicion...... But......

"But after thinking about it, I suddenly realized that there was another person who was very suitable to betray us. It is even possible that they will pretend to be Kidd and betray us. After all, the Ministry of Magic of any country can't be underestimated in the true sense, can it? ”

The Ministry of Magic, which stands for order. That alone represents enough power.

"But...... Dead six Aurors ......"

Dumbledore shook his head.

Luke scoffed, "In the eyes of some people, sixteen Aurors may not be worth my life. ”

Cruel, but not a lie.

"But......" Luke took a deep breath, "I'm a little puzzled by what it would do him any good of him." ”

Luke was genuinely confused. Because...... There's no need to do such a thing.

He couldn't figure out what the other party's purpose was.

"Seriously, I'm wondering if it's him, I can't figure it out."

Dumbledore frowned and said, "But even if this is not the information he revealed, he definitely contributed to it." ”

"Those two teams of Aurors are not elite...... And it did come a little late afterwards. ”

So, the old and the young, who leaned on the railing and looked at the boundless sea, frowned in sync, revealing a thoughtful look.

I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend a book-chasing app,! It's really easy to use, driving, before going to bed rely on this reading aloud to pass the time, you can download it here.. 】

Gemma, who was lying on a recliner basking in the sun, looked at the two people in the distance. Although one is her arrogance, the other is her boss.

From afar, a smiling Gemma heard such a conversation.

"Professor, why do we have to take the boat back?"

"Emmm, there's no rush anyway, you know, when I go back to school, there's a bunch of work waiting for me."

"Oh, I just want to touch the fish for a while, right?"

“…… So to speak! ”
