Pure Blood Glory at Hogwarts

Chapter 48 This is another price

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

On the old, resolute, and arrogant face, there was actually a merchant-like expression revealed at this moment.

But now Luke is not in a hurry, he walked to Professor McGonagall's chair calmly, and then sat on the chair very calmly.

Upon seeing this, Professor McGonagall shook his head silently, then turned and left the room.This is what she and Luke had agreed on earlier.The discussion of some things is not something that she, who is not from the two big families, can get involved in.

Professor McGonagall has long expected this dirty deal between the nobles.

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

The upward arc of the corners of his mouth increased by three points, making his lips a little thinner, and his brows were slightly raised.

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

This face, this kind of expression really made Worm feel like the old man had crawled out of hell and was preparing to wreak havoc on the world again.

"The issue of reputation... why? Since you chose to terminate the contract, you are already prepared to give up all your reputation, right?"

Luke said with a normal smile.

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

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

With the pressing of the fingers, the ruby ​​sank while the red color also faded, and the overall color of the gemstone turned bright yellow.

After that, he opened the box again, and took out a large stack of parchment and a notebook that looked very old.

Lake respectfully handed all the things in his hands to Worm.

After Worm took the large amount of property with one hand, he held them in both hands and placed them on the table in front of Luke.

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

Worm didn't care about the sarcasm in Luke's words.He just said calmly, "These are the rewards I promised to give you."

Luke flipped through it briefly, and the top one was the notebook. When he opened it, the content inside was like a mess, and he couldn't figure out what it meant when he pieced it together.

But the name on the notebook is very 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 this situation.

Luke opened the notebook again and found that the contents had not changed in any way.It's just that on the edge of each page of notes, there is a pattern like a lion's mane.

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

Below the notebook is a letter of appointment.

The main content above is that the school board agreed that Luke Gunter will become the new school manager to replace Warm Lance.

Below are the signatures of the school board members.Luke also sees the name of Lucius Malfoy in it.

It looked like he didn't know that Luke had screwed his son so badly.Otherwise, it is estimated that it would not be so easy to give Luke this convenience.

Beneath the power of attorney are more title deeds and assignments.

Without exception, the names of the owners of these industries have changed to Luke.

It stands to reason that Luke should also come forward for this kind of transfer, but of course the Lance family will not be ambiguous about this trivial matter.It can be done without showing up.

"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 industry in various places when you travel in the future."

"Please rest assured that we have only withdrawn the managers of the Lance family in all industries. Most of them are managers. You can recruit new managers yourself, or choose your own people."

Luke nodded after hearing the words, and it was indeed a more considerate way to do so.From this point of view, the Lance family is indeed very sincere.Although the managers have been removed, the industry can continue to operate without being paralyzed.

After all, with so many people, Luke didn't know how to choose for a while.

If he was really going to be paralyzed, he could only stare blankly.

"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 thank you. If he really played some tricks, he could indeed vent his anger for a while.But it's not a good thing to tear up your face with your previous boss.

"Now, can we talk about the problem just now?"

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

"It is impossible for us to accept another covenant with such harsh conditions."

Luke made a pensive look, and then made a silent gesture of thinking.

Fingers tapped on the table, brows furrowed.

Worm's words are also very clear, they can accept another covenant with much looser conditions.In other words, the Gaunt family must treat the Lance 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 Lance family.Their status will increase and they will get many compliments.

After all, it is equivalent to a leap in the rank of nobility.

And Luke certainly has benefits.After becoming an ally, his industries don't have to worry about it anymore.The Lance family will make arrangements, and he only needs to receive the money.

And there is no doubt that he can also get the support of an ally of sufficient status when his strategy is implemented.And there will be more money and treasures sent over.

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

Although this kind of thing is obvious to all, it is another matter to actually show it.A lot of greedy guys will come up like sharks smelling blood.

They disdain the extinct Gaunt family, and dare not invade it.

But a good heir to the Gaunts, they would all be interested.

"I cannot agree to this condition."

Luke didn't think too long before speaking directly.

Worm's expression didn't change.The conditions are all negotiated. If Luke agrees directly, then he will have to consider whether to refuse.

The conditions I put forward are absolutely beneficial to the Lance family, but to the Gunter family, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

If Luke directly agrees, it means that when necessary, or after he gets up, he will immediately tear up the covenant and step on the Lance family again.

This is what they cannot accept.
