Chapter 4167 4169 [Forced to cooperate]
Xiang Nan and Dumbledore immediately arrived at Malfoy Manor.
Abraxas Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy couldn't help being surprised when they saw Dumbledore and Xiang Nan arriving.
However, they still entertained the two of them as if nothing had happened, and ordered the house elves to serve them drinks and desserts.
"Mr. Dumbledore, Mr. Snape, it's such an honor for you two to come to my home." Abraxas said with a smile, "Albus, old friend, we haven't seen you for a long time. Mr. Snape , I often hear your name now, and I’m really happy to see you.”
"You're welcome. To make a long story short, we are not here as guests today." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "We have something to discuss."
Abraxas' face froze, and then he asked anxiously, "Excuse me, what is it?"
"Ask your son Lucius to help us summon the mysterious man." Xiang Nan explained.
Hearing what he said, Abraxas was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "How dare you say that, we have nothing to do with the mysterious man.
What you are doing is clearly slander and slander. I am going to the Ministry of Magic to sue you! Minister Harold is a good friend of mine, and I will let him do justice.
Mr. Snape, don't think that because you have become famous, you are arrogant and arrogant. You must know that the reputation of our Malfoy family cannot be slandered..."
Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy turned pale at first, but quickly calmed down under Abraxas's roar, and also glared at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he took Voldemort's diary out of the storage bag and threw it on the table.
"..." Abraxas suddenly felt as if his throat was being strangled, and he couldn't say a word.
Lucius and Narcissa's faces instantly turned pale.
None of them expected that such a confidential thing would be found by Xiang Nan.
"I believe I don't need to tell you, you all know its origin." Xiang Nan said coldly, "But what you don't know is that this diary is also a Horcrux made by a mysterious person, which can prevent him from being actually killed.
But now that I have obtained this diary, as long as I destroy it, he will have no way to resurrect him. I believe I don’t need to say more about what consequences will happen to your family if he gets to know this news, right? "
Abraxas, Lucius, and Narcissa were shocked.
As one of the oldest pure-blood families in the wizarding world, they have naturally heard about "horcruxes".
Of course, they only knew a little bit of information, but they didn't know exactly what was going on.
Just like many Chinese people have heard of things like "shunning", "calling souls", "driving corpses", "moving out of the horse", etc., but no one can explain clearly what is going on.
But they all knew that once the Horcrux entrusted to them by Voldemort was destroyed by Xiang Nan and his back-up for resurrection was lost, he would definitely not let them go.
With Voldemort's ruthlessness, it wouldn't be surprising to wipe out their whole family when the time comes.
"How about it, can we talk about cooperation now?" Xiang Nan looked at Lucius and said, "If you want to survive, you must cooperate with us.
When the time comes, the principal and I will intercede for you and say that you are the undercover agents we sent. This way, after the mysterious man falls, you can still escape this level.
Otherwise, let alone the mysterious man who can't spare you, the Ministry of Magic can't spare you either. Your family will either die or be imprisoned in Azkaban. "
Abraxas, Lucius, and Narcissa were all trembling with fear when they heard what Xiang Nan said. They knew that Xiang Nan was telling the truth.
At this point, a decision must be made on this matter.
"Okay, we can cooperate with you." Abraxas said immediately, "But you must also abide by your promise and ensure the safety of our family."
"Don't worry." Xiang Nan nodded, "We keep our word."
Unlike Bellatrix, who has gone completely crazy and is not worth saving. Dumbledore also nodded. He always advocated being kind to others. Even Voldemort, if he was willing to admit defeat now, would be willing to give him a chance to make a new comeback.
…
"But I can't summon the mysterious man now." Lucius said again.
"What tricks are you playing?" Xiang Nan said displeased.
"What I said is true. The mysterious man gave an order a few days ago and we are not allowed to summon him. He will summon us if he has something to do." Lucius explained.
"Then where does he live now?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
Lucius waved his hand, "I don't know either, he never told anyone. Even Bella probably doesn't know."
Xiang Nan nodded, not doubting it at all.
When he asked Dolohov, Rookwood, and Yaxley in Azkaban Prison, they didn't know either.
In fact, Xiang Nan once tried to use "clairvoyance" to search for the whereabouts of Voldemort, but still couldn't find it.
It's very magical, as if he doesn't exist in this world.
But this is not surprising.
The invisible stretching spell of the magical world can create a small world of its own.
For example, Newt Scamander has a huge menagerie in his suitcase, with seemingly no limit to its length, width, and height.
Thunderbirds, Venomous Leopards, Obscurus, Moon-Crazy Beasts, Unicorns, Runes... Dozens of magical animals live in it.
You can see how big it is.
With Voldemort's magic power, creating such a small world is simply a matter of ease.
When he had nothing to do, he could live inside and no one would know.
"In this case, when he calls you, you should notify us in time." Xiang Nan nodded.
Lucius nodded immediately.
"In order to enhance mutual trust, should we sign a sacred contract? An unbreakable oath?" Abraxas suggested.
"If you insist, yes." Xiang Nan nodded, "We can make an unbreakable oath."
Abraxas's move was not only to gain the trust of Xiang Nan and Dumbledore, but also to buy insurance for the Malfoy family.
After all, they themselves are capricious, and they are naturally worried about others treating them like this.
Xiang Nan didn't believe that the Malfoy family dared to betray his and Dumbledore's plan to Voldemort, because it would not be good for them.
Even if they reveal this secret, Voldemort can't kill Xiang Nan and Dumbledore. By then, if Xiang Nan and Dumbledore find out, they will definitely settle the score with the Malfoy family.
And Voldemort couldn't get rid of Xiang Nan and Dumbledore, so he would only vent his anger on the Malfoy family.
By then, they still have nowhere to stay.
However, in order to show mutual trust, Dumbledore made an unbreakable oath with Lucius Malfoy, agreeing that Lucius must do his best to help them get rid of Voldemort and promise not to leak the secret.
Dumbledore promised to help them plead with the Ministry of Magic once the matter was accomplished.
Xiang Nan wanted to get in on his own, but the Malfoys still valued Dumbledore's credibility more.
