Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 587: Unexpected rejection
"...A few gentlemen from the Millefari family over there, do you have anything to say about Martin in charge?"
Under the sharp turn of Maca’s conversation, many people seem a little WwΔW. "Kge "ge. La
They didn't know that Maca had originally spoken well against the Vannie steward of the Blois family, but suddenly he pointed his looming edge directly at the seemingly unrelated Millefari family.
But when he said this, when the wizards present all looked over there, a few people really noticed the tension on the faces of the representatives of the Namilfari family. Although the expression is only fleeting, if it is not dazzled, it means that most of it still hides some unknown connections.
"Sirs, do you...have nothing to say?"
Seeing that their expressions changed slightly and they kept silent, they seemed quite embarrassed, so he urged again.
The Millefari family, like the Blois family, is also a family of wizards in France. Of course, compared to the latter, although this Millefari family has a rather peculiar origin history, it is far too shallow in terms of background.
According to Fannie, this family was an ordinary family of mixed-blood wizards. Throughout the generations, they made and sold pastries and desserts for their livelihoods. It can be said that there is no surprise up and down.
However, under the inspiration of a certain generation of ancestors, this family actually took advantage of a certain war and changed their hands and feet to wash away the mixed blood of their family ancestors, and became one in the magical world after the war. Pure blood family. In the period since then, they have gained both fame and fortune because they have some money and a false status.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After all, their so-called "pure blood" was checked out by the Ministry of Magic's pre-war file restoration work. Although by then, whether pure blood or not is no longer the top argument in the magic world, the reputation of their Millefari family has been trampled on thousands of times by the masses of public opinion, and it is completely stinking.
Nowadays, the Millefari family is only relying on the continuous hard accumulation of the people of the past generations to barely base its wealth on the upper-middle level of the French magical world. If it weren't for the clansmen of their family, the brains are still bright, I am afraid that the surname Millefari would have disappeared in the French magical world.
But it is precisely because of the embarrassment that the family's status is not high enough, that it has room to be wooed by the greedy Martin manager. If he changed to another stronger force, the old Martin would only rely on the status of a foreigner in the Blois family, it would be extremely difficult to borrow force easily.
It means that both of them have an urgent need to cooperate, and only then will Martin Manager plunge into the Nicole Le May estate distribution incident.
, just outside the side entrance of the auditorium, Maca had a little discussion with Fannie, and made some articles about this trivial matter. As for how to deal with the Martin manager who was scared away by Maca after a few words... As long as that guy stays on his own after this, there is no need to clear him out of Fort Blois.
If today's things can be done, the greedy old guy can be considered a hero.
"Well, this time Mr. Martin did have some contacts with us," the representative of the Millefari family seemed a little hesitant at first, but soon his expression became more serious, "However, we The family never promised anything to cooperate with him..."
Now to say something "I haven't met Martin", it is of no avail to the final result, he will not say such a lie that can be easily debunked. Since it cannot be denied, it is better to admit it altogether, and then be able to avoid certain lightning spots with a more calm attitude.
"Oh?" Maca nodded calmly, waiting for the other party to continue.
"Yes, that's it..." The representative of Namile Farley cleverly said, "The Martin manager is indeed trying to participate in this Chamber of Commerce in his personal capacity, but no matter how'personal' he is, then He is also a steward of the Blois family. Our Millefari family is small and weak, and we dare not easily refuse his request."
"So you brought in the Martin manager, didn't you?" Maca nodded clearly, "I can understand your embarrassment, and now, sir, you can answer our doubts. I can say thank you very much."
"We should also thank you in Fort Blois, Mr. Millefari," Marca had just said, and Vannie immediately seized the gap, and thanked you, "Your testimony, It cleansed up our Blois family's grievances."
The Millefari family cooperated so well, of course, it was in Maca's expectation.
The embarrassing family of theirs, it is impossible to hope that they will fall into a situation of igniting the upper body, and they are more unwilling to offend either the Blois family or Hogwarts. So he said very simply. Apart from the mistakes he made, he had said everything about Martin.
Since the fact that Martin sabotaged the family plan privately has been revealed on the spot, then Blois’s remarks of “one set on the surface and one set behind the back” are logically self-defeating.
"Sorry, Miss Blois... It seems that I misunderstood your Blois family without authorization." The old butler had been watching all this happen just now, and it was only now that things became clear before he spoke. , "I hope that your Blois family can severely punish the steward named Martin, so that I and everyone present can relax as soon as possible."
"Of course," Fannie said without squinting, "Fort Blois will give you a satisfactory answer."
After the amazing debut of Maca and Old Edward, the mystery of the Tai Fowler Patriarch and the two wizards, one tall and one short, has not changed in any particular way. But for this initial disappearance of the old housekeeper, it is completely clear. When the final answer is in front of everyone, who else will be too interested in the questions that arise in the process of solving the problem?
Maybe others don’t, but Maca is definitely not one of those people. After realizing that the restlessness between the two parties might have an unknown impact on his future actions, he made up his mind to figure it out.
It’s just that, it’s definitely not now.
"Mr. Edward Lemay, Miss Vannie Blois...It is really great that this misunderstanding between the two can be resolved so quickly!"
While the wizards of all forces were still secretly analyzing the conversations just now, Mrs. Maxim, who had always been a bystander not far away, finally found a chance to speak. To be honest, it was really inconvenient for her, the local master, to intervene at will, like this kind of mess, and she was very aggrieved.
"Yes!" Old Edward once again showed his benevolent expression, and said casually, "Well, I should thank Mr. McLean at Hogwarts this time. Without him, I am afraid it would have been long now. I was caught in a dark room and locked up, right? Just my old bones. Thinking about it, I'm really a little scared..."
His words immediately reminded all wizards who coveted the alchemy legacy. It can be seen that many faces turned around at almost the same time, and countless eyes were approaching Maca.
probably because it seems that it has reached a critical moment. Those eyes are obviously more explicit than before, and they seem to contain a variety of emotions and psychological activities.
However, Maca did not see the sharper gaze, he just smiled and bowed slightly to the old housekeeper.
"Mr. LeMay is polite," he shrugged, his smile on his face was particularly clear, "When I was enrolled in Hogwarts, the first thing Professor Dumbledore taught me was I should learn to help everyone who needs help. Although I am not too old, I am also a teacher who teaches knowledge...How can I miss this opportunity to lead by example for students?"
"Oh, Mr. Dumbledore..."
When Old Edward heard the name, he immediately showed a grateful expression, which couldn't help making the people around him cry out.
"In the past, my patron stayed in the British magical world for some time. At that time, I was also fortunate to have a few brief conversations with Mr. Dumbledore... That is a great wizard who deserves the respect of anyone~ IndoMTL .com~I want to come now, what he said at the time seems to be still whispering in my ears!"
As soon as these reminiscences were uttered, Maca noticed that there was a whisper among the crowd. He knew that the time to drop that last step had arrived.
"When you have the opportunity, you may wish to go to Hogwarts to see Professor Dumbledore. He was willing to sacrifice for the school, so it also gave us an opportunity to defeat the strong, and now he is buried in Hogwarts. The lakeside of Wozzi, like an immortal Gublai fairy fire, guards our campus forever..."
Maca said, winking at old Edward very secretly. In fact, he didn't need to remind him at all. How could the shrewd old housekeeper not know?
"That's for sure," Old Edward said with a smile, "Well... it's better to take this opportunity to hand over the distribution of my master's estate to Hogwarts! I believe, Dumbledore. Mr.'s school will be able to selflessly accomplish this great event that is beneficial to the entire world."
is this sentence! That's right, it was this sentence that made the entire auditorium boil. The representatives of those forces couldn't bear it anymore, because what the old butler said was that "Hogwarts will handle it all!"
really want to make this happen, then these forces still play a ball! But at this moment--
"No, I'm afraid this won't work."
Maca’s answer was beyond the expectation of most people.
