Chapter 275: Looking for the Golden Viper, Looking for the Golden Viper
After listening to Amosta's words, Lucius's face suddenly became not so good-looking.
Last school year, his plan to try to get Dumbledore out of Hogwarts through that secret room was actually perfect, Dumbledore had been officially transferred out of Hogwarts, and if it wasn't for the man in front of him, Dumbledore probably wouldn't have been able to turn the tables around.
But then, Lucius couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Amosta gave him the opportunity to say the commission, which means that there is a possibility of success in this matter, but how to speak is also a problem.
Lucius picked up the cup of green tea and took a sip lightly, his cloudy brow suddenly frowned.
It was so bitter that he couldn't imagine how anyone could like this 'unique' drink, but out of politeness, he forced himself to swallow the tea soup in his mouth, but the bitterness in his mouth could not be removed.
Amosta didn't rush, but waited quietly.
"There's something you might want to take a look at first-"
After a short silence, Lucius finally made up his mind, his face was gloomy, he retracted his hand into his robe and did not take it out for a long time, and Lenny, who saw this scene, desperately gave Amosta a look, trying to remind him not to ignore that Lucius Malfoy was a cruel and cunning Death Eater, but Amosta, who noticed his reminder, did not say anything, just calmly tasted tea.
Finally, under Lenny's wary gaze, Lucius took out his hand that had reached into his robe again, and slowly rested it on the table.
The moment he saw the thing, Lenny on the couch leapt ten feet away, the claws of his limbs popping out and clasping the tabletop, his fierce eyes firmly locked on Lucius, who was a little stunned by the black cat's actions.
A blackened paw that resembles a human hand!
It's a werewolf's hand!
The moment he saw Blackclaw, Amosta recognized it, and he happened to know who the owner of the wolf's paw was.
Things got interesting.
With an elusive light in his eyes, Amosta stared at Lucius Malfoy, who had turned his attention away from Lenny and was looking tentatively at him, quietly waiting for an explanation.
"As you may have recognized, it's a werewolf's claw."
Seeing that nothing could be seen from Amosta's expression, Lucius controlled the speed of his speech and said cautiously,
"And its owner is the notorious werewolf, Fenrir Greyback."
While--
Amosta spoke with his finger about the wall of the cup, making a crisp sound, and the tea in the cup filled up automatically with a slight tremor.
"Fenrir Greyback—"
Amosta repeated the name, smiling and saying,
"This is a dangerous person that the Ministry of Magic has dreamed of catching, so you killed it?"
"I don't have the ability, Mr. Brian--"
Thinking of what happened half a year ago, Lucius's tone became stiff,
"In fact, it was last summer that Greyback broke into my mansion with a few werewolves, and he hoped that I could use the influence of the Malfoy family to help him find someone, and this paw was the 'commission' he left behind."
Meow--
Hearing this, Lenny withdrew his attacking stance and instead squinted at Lucius Malfoy with a very contemptuous look.
Twelve years after Voldemort fell, and his once loyal subordinates began to eat dogs?
"So?"
Amosta narrowed his eyes, and his tone became subtle.
Without much thought, Amosta also knew who the big wolf dogs who would never learn to learn the lesson were looking for, but he really didn't expect Greyback to think of asking Lucius Malfoy for help. Did Lucius Malfoy find himself because he knew he had roots in the underworld, or did he test himself through some clues?
Both of these speculations were possible, and for a while, Amosta couldn't judge, but at least, he was sure that Lucius was not sure that he was the Golden Viper, otherwise, he would not be so stupid to come directly to him, doing so would only anger himself.
"--The name of the man Greyback wants me to help find in the Underworld is Golden Viper, Mr. Bryan, and he has been very famous in recent years, and you must have heard of him."
As he said this, Lucius Malfoy, despite the risk of angering Amosta Blaine, stared at the recognizable pair of purple eyes, hoping to get the answer he wanted, but he found nothing but the chilling abyss.
Hearing the name 'Golden Viper', Lenny quietly opened his mouth.
Isn't this Amosta?
On the day Remus revealed his identity, because the misunderstanding had not been resolved at that time, Remus thought that Amosta was his accomplice, and he called out the name himself!
Lenny didn't know what was going on, but based on what he had just heard, Greyback expected Malfoy to use his family's power to help him find the Golden Viper, leaving the charred claw behind. The claw was Greyback's, presumably the Golden Viper, and Amosta Bryan had turned Greyback's wolf claw into this.
And Lucius Malfoy, for some reason, went directly to Amosta in the hope that he would know the information about the Golden Viper?
If this is a coincidence, then Lucius Malfoy is too unlucky!
Lucius was disappointed that he didn't get the expected response, but he controlled his emotions very well and thought that he didn't show any horses.
"Those vile, lowly werewolves threaten me with Draco—"
Lucius knew that Amosta had a decent sense of Draco, so he said it on purpose.
"--Let me find out the true identity of the Golden Viper as soon as possible, and don't let me inquire in the underground world with much fanfare, lest the dangerous guy named the Golden Viper hear the news. Some of my avenues there didn't work, and I asked Cornelius Fudge to consult some of the secret files of the Aurors' office, but nothing was found there, and I know you."
"That's not the Malfoy family style I know, Mr. Malfoy--"
Amosta tilted her head and smiled faintly,
"With the Malfoy family's financial resources, if you want, you can push for the enforcement of the relevant laws, and let the official forces go all out to strangle the wolf cubs led by Greyback."
"It's more in line with my wishes!"
Amosta's words aroused Lucius's anger, and his face was pale, and his teeth itched with hatred,
"But if a werewolf escapes from the strangulation, then the Malfoys don't want to live in peace, you must know about Greyback's despicable practices!"
Lenny stared at Lucius Malfoy with disdain, he knew all the dirty things Lucius had done when he was a Death Eater, and now he had the face to rebuke Fenrir Greyback, who was almost 'noble' to him, it was ridiculous!
Lenny turned his head and turned his gaze on Amosta Bryan, trying to warn him not to accede to any of Lucius's requests, but it occurred to him that Amosta was the 'Golden Viper'!
Interesting. What will Amosta do?
Lenny was suddenly in no hurry, he lay on the table, scratched his beard with his cat's paws, and waited with Lucius Malfoy for Amosta's reaction.
