It seems that Lucius didn't associate himself with the Golden Viper, and he still hoped that he could help find the Golden Viper. But why didn't Lucius go to Kakus Foley?

Even if the Forlì family is defeated, it is still one of the twenty-eight sacred pure-blood clans, just like the Malfoy family, and most of these ancient families with a long history are inextricably linked, except for the extreme example of the Weasleys, and it stands to reason that Lucius's best choice should be to go to Kakus.

Moreover, the Golden Viper and Kakus have a good personal relationship, which is not a secret in the underground world, and after inquiring about the Golden Viper for so long, if Lucius Malfoy doesn't even know about this, it would be too incompetent.

That's a question, Amosta pondered quietly.

Oh. I see.

It didn't take much for Amosta to penetrate the joints.

Fearing that the Viper would flee when he heard the news, Greyback did not allow Lucius Malfoy to inquire about it, and if he went to Kakus to inquire about the identity of the Viper, it was very likely that the information would be leaked to cause the Viper to be alerted.

Hmph –

Amosta smiled mockingly in his heart, Greyback was quite confident.

"Alright, Mr. Malfoy, I know what you're here for."

After a long silence, Amosta finally spoke, but the words he said made Lucius, who was anxiously waiting for a response, feel cold.

"Now, you can leave my office."

"Mr. Bryan!"

Lucius's face was ugly, and he staggered up from his stool, eager to say something, but was stopped by Amosta raising his hand,

"Get out of my office--"

Amosta repeated again in a tone that could not be denied.

Lucius showed visible disappointment, and he desperately turned his brain, hoping to come up with a way to make Amosta Bryan change his mind, but when his eyes swept over the calm expression and unwavering eyes of the wizard on the other side of the desk, he was suddenly stunned, and then, the disappointed expression disappeared, and he turned to a little joy.

How could I be so sluggish!

Lucius Malfoy condemned himself that Amusta Blaine would not grant any of his requests, of course.

"Well, it's a shame we couldn't get to work together."

Lucius exhaled softly and nodded gratefully at Amosta,

"I'll leave."

After saying this, Lucius Malfoy didn't delay, and turned around and left the office.

It's not hopelessly stupid.

Amosta smiled inwardly, and he withdrew his gaze to the door, staring with interest at the twenty egg-sized rubies on his desk that seemed to have been forgotten by their original owners.

"What the hell is going on, Amosta?"

After being disenchanted, Sirius, who was holding back his stomach for questions, couldn't wait to ask,

"You obviously refused Malfoy's request for help, but why did he look like he had succeeded in his purpose, and" Sirius glanced at the valuable gems in disgust, "Lucius Malfoy has been so generous that he took the gems worth more than ten thousand Galleons as a gift for the visitor?" ”

Sirius's gimbling in this regard was reasonable, and his question was not unexpected by Amosta,

"Whatever it is, there's no way I'm going to make any deal with Lucius Malfoy, you know, Sirius?"

Sirius frowned, trying to think about it, and after a moment, he nodded hesitantly.

Indeed, whatever it was, once Amosta agreed, it would be tantamount to telling the truth, and a cunning wizard like Malfoy might use it as an excuse for a threat at any point, although he may not have the guts, but it was a trick after all.

"And Malfoy's last attitude?"

"And I, as the director of the Hogwarts Student Safety Office, have some dark creatures living in the gutter trying to use the safety of the students in the school to force their parents to do something against their will, and it is only natural for me to take the initiative?"

Amosta smiled happily and put the gems into her storage bag one by one.

"Oh, you cunning Slytherins!"

Sirius rolled his eyes,

"So, you're going to help Malfoy deal with Greyback?"

Hum--

After cleaning up the gems on the table, Amosta snorted coldly, pinched the charred paw left by Lucius with his fingers and put it in front of his eyes to admire it quietly, the cold light in his eyes made Sirius shiver.

"Speaking of—"

Half-Ringing failed to get a response from Amosta, Sirius asked another question,

"The Golden Viper is the name you use to operate in the underworld of Tumbledown Alley, and I don't think Lucius Malfoy knows that. But why did he find you? ”

"That's a long story, in short--"

Amosta said in a lazy tone,

"Lucius Malfoy's connections in the underworld are not as influential as his in the Ministry of Magic, because of some previous events, he guessed that I was probably often active in the underworld, so he came to me directly without any good way."

Sirius was curious about many other things, such as what kind of character Golden Viper was in the Underworld, how he had a grudge against Greyback, and how he had forgotten to ask Remus how Amosta and Remus met.

Listening to the tone of Remus's words before, it seems that it is inseparable from the identity of the golden viper.

Sirius wanted to put these questions to the letter, but at that moment, there was another untimely knock on the office door, and from Amosta's expression, he knew that it wasn't Remus.

"That's a real nuisance!"

Sirius waited impatiently for Amosta to transform him into a cat,

"Spending all day in your office as a cat is going to drive me crazy, and I'd rather walk around the playground and the Forbidden Forest in my own Animagus style."

"I'm not stopping you from doing this--"

With a flick of Amosta's wand, Sirius turned into Lenny again in the blink of an eye, wrapped in a flickering spell light.

"Just don't get me in trouble."

"What about Lucius?"

The office door opened, and Professor Snape strode in, followed by a disapproving Draco Malfoy.

"It's been a while, didn't he say hello to you?"

"I'm going to talk to him about Draco again!"

Professor Snape said with a calm face, and he stepped out of the way, exposing Draco to Amosta's sight,

"I don't understand why a small setback would keep you depressed for so long, but now that he's gone--"

Snape squinted at Amosta in displeasure, as he had formally made Draco look so negative because of his tormenting practical punishment,

"You might as well talk to Professor Bryan about what you think."

"I don't have much to say." Draco said dryly.

He actually had the courage to speak with this attitude in front of him, was this still Draco Malfoy, could it be that insignificant blow really had such a big impact on him?

Amosta's brow furrowed imperceptibly, and he stared at Draco who was staring down at his toes, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

"Nothing to say?"

Professor Snape was surprised and angry by Draco's reply, his jaw raised, his eyes turned dangerous, and just as he was about to say something, Amosta suddenly spoke first,

"Keep your head up, Draco."

There was an irrepressible hint in Amosta's voice, and when he said this, both Snape and Lenny, who were not very interested in the scene, looked at him in confusion.

"Look at me, Draco."

Amosta snapped, and under his stern command, Draco's body swayed like a willow in the wind, his already pale face was even more bloodless, and there were visible drops of sweat on his forehead, he seemed reluctant to do so, but under Professor Blaine's orders, he couldn't refuse, otherwise, it would be too suspicious.

The moment the eyes met, Amosta chuckled in his heart. In Draco's eyes, he sensed another fleeting 'figure'.
