Chapter 1155 Soul Seizing
“Why does it sound like I’m a murderer?”
After coming out of the principal's office, Albert stopped, looked back at the closed wooden door behind him, and couldn't help but complain.
Albert is actually quite repulsive about killing people.
As for the group of unlucky ones who were killed by Scrimgeour, Albert could not be blamed at all. At most, he was a reminder to Scrimgeour, and it was the court of the Ministry of Magic that ultimately sentenced them to death.
What does it have to do with him?
After leaving the principal's office, Albert went directly to the nearby Room of Requirement. When he reappeared in Hogsmeade, he had already put on a new vest.
It is not suitable to meet Zuko as Albert, and it can easily cause other troubles, so he is now wearing Lee Jordan's vest. This is why Albert did not let Lee Jordan follow him to Hogsmeade. reason.
The village of Hogsmeade was a little deserted in the early morning. When he came over, the shops on the side of the road had just opened. Albert stopped in front of Zuko's shop, reached out and pushed open the red wooden door and walked in.
“You came on time.”
Zoko forced out a smile to greet the person, but when he saw the person coming in, his expression suddenly froze.
“Is there any problem?” Albert asked.
"I thought..." Zuko said in an uncertain tone: "The Weasley twins told me that the person who came to talk to me was the famous Mr. Albert Anderson."
"Oh, you mean Albert!" Albert said in a rather helpless tone, "After that guy got married a while ago, he took his new wife on a trip. I don't know where they are going. Now I will be responsible for handling this matter with you."
"this…"
"Okay, let's take a look at this contract first. If you have any questions, we'll talk about it later." After Albert handed a piece of parchment to Zuko behind the counter, he began to walk around the store and observed the inside of the store. The backlog of goods.
"I think the profit commission you gave is too low." Zuko frowned slightly and complained: "Besides, the products in this store are still..."
"Don't worry, keep reading. There are several plans below. You can choose one from them." Albert reminded kindly: "Also, the products you have here are not easy to sell. If you can't sell them, the products will be sold." The value is far not as high as you think. It is impossible for us to waste money to acquire this batch of goods that may not be sold. In the end, some of the products here can only be used as store opening gifts for the students who purchased the goods."
"Of course, you can also choose the option with the lowest commission. In that case, the galleons from the goods sold in the store will still belong to you, and we will also purchase the store, but you can only have a good salary and 100%. A lower commission of five.”
"If you want to cooperate with us for a long time, I suggest you choose the former. That is actually Albert's sincerity in inviting you to join us. I remember that this was specifically mentioned on the parchment."
“Sincerity?”
Zoko obviously didn’t believe this nonsense. He didn’t see the so-called sincerity of the other party.
“I choose the lowest commission.”
"Are you sure? Don't you want to think about it again?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, "The shops in Diagon Alley will be temporarily closed in the near future, and Owl Mail Order will go to your side. Are you sure you don't want to choose the one with higher profits? Maybe then …”
“No, I think the latter one is more suitable for me.” Zuko interrupted.
"If you think it's okay, please sign your name and date on the last piece of parchment to confirm that this is indeed your wish. I must remind you that this is a magical contract that is valid for three years. If If you are willing to stay when the time comes, you can renew your contract.”
“No problem, that’s it!”
Zuko took out a quill from nowhere, signed his name several times on the last piece of parchment, handed the contract to Albert, and suggested with a smile, "That's right. , would you like a glass of whiskey? Let’s celebrate our happy cooperation.”
"A glass of butterbeer. I have to work later, so it's not hard to get drunk." Albert declined politely.
“Butterbeer? Wait a minute, I remember there’s another barrel in there.”
Zoko turned around and went into the warehouse to get butterbeer, completely unaware that Albert quietly raised his wand behind his back.
“Here, I wish us a happy cooperation.”
As he spoke, he took out a small barrel, poured two glasses of butterbeer from it, and handed one of them to Albert.
The two of them raised their wine glasses, clinked them lightly, and drank the butterbeer in them in one gulp.
“Fred and George will send you the goods you need in a while. You have to spend some time to rebuild the store...” Albert shook his head slightly and fell to the ground as if he was drunk and passed out.
Zoko looked at the fainted guy expressionlessly, walked over and closed the door and curtains of the shop, not forgetting to put up the closure sign.
When he came back, a woman had just walked out of the store warehouse and looked at Lee Jordan who was unconscious on the ground with joy, "I actually let that **** guy escape. Forget it, I believe it should be possible." Pry some useful information out of his mouth!"
"Come here and help him up. We need to change the place to interrogate him. I think Bella will be very happy." Alecto Carlo was quite satisfied with today's results, although he failed to catch the man named Albert Anderson. Mudblood, but it would also be nice to catch his friends. They could control him through the Imperius Curse to monitor the Mudblood's whereabouts, or even...
Before Alecto Carlo could continue her fantasy, she suddenly froze in place and could not move. Behind her, Zuko was pointing a wand at her, and Albert had already pulled out his wand and pointed it at this unknown person. Invite unwelcome guests.
"Oh, it seems I'm lucky." Albert didn't look like he drank the living **** potion at all, "Alecto Carlo is actually a Death Eater."
A few minutes later, in the Shrieking Shack, Alecto Carlo was walking up the stairs to the second floor.
"Failed?" Bella cast her gaze behind Carlo and frowned slightly.
"The mudblood didn't go, but his friend, the black wizard named Lee Jordan. The other party was very cautious and didn't get fooled at all." Alecto Carlo said helplessly: "However, he should also There is no doubt that we still have a chance."
“By the way, how are you doing over there?” he asked again.
“It has been successful.”
"What are you going to do next? Do you have any plan? Those guys are very cautious, we will do it..."
"I plan to control that mudblood friend first. We must find out where that guy is hiding now." Bella said confidently, "This is not a difficult task, we can..."
"I'm afraid this will be difficult. According to the latest information I got, their store in Diagon Alley seems to be temporarily closed, and those guys are planning to find a place to hide." Alecto Carlo reminded, "This is not good news. !”
After discovering that her proud plan was of no use, Bella punched the wall in frustration, "We will always catch the flaw, they can't hide forever,"
