"Father, who is it? How dare they use such a rude method to send you a letter?"
Draco's words interrupted Lucius's thoughts. Just as he was about to say William's name, he saw Astoria, the girl who had yet to become a member of the Malfoys.
Moreover, William had clearly displayed his strength, and Lucius did not want others to know.
For a moment, he did not even want to tell his son, Malfoy Jr.
Over the years, his good son had not only abandoned the pureblood doctrine but also found a girlfriend who did not care about the pureblood doctrine. It seemed that the two would soon enter the church.
This made the Malfoys, who had always advocated pureblood, very dissatisfied. But no matter how dissatisfied they were, when faced with their only son, they could only suppress this dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Looking at Draco's curious eyes, Lucius did not hesitate for long and knew that he could not harden his heart.
He sighed. In fact, since the Black Devil King died eight years ago, he and his wife had betrayed the Black Devil King because of their son.
The pureblood idea that he advocated was already a joke.
Moreover, William, who he wanted to rely on, was not a pureblood wizard, which made him feel that there was no need to hide it.
After all, when he went to see William, perhaps the whole of England would report that the Malfoys were riding on his coattails.
"Look at it yourself."
Lucius used a clean knife to cut open the envelope, took out the letter, put the envelope on the table, and sat on the chair to read it.
Narcissa, who was closest to him, picked up the envelope and looked at both sides, but unexpectedly could not find the name of the letter's owner.
Looking at her husband who was frowning as he read the letter, Narcissa had no choice but to hand the envelope to Draco and Astoria, who came over.
After reading the envelope, Draco, who was also puzzled, stared at the wax seal on the letter and whispered, "Why is this family seal so familiar? Whose is it?"
"Could it be Devonshire?"
After Astoria finished speaking, Malfoy Jr. and Narcissa immediately reacted and exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible?" Lucius put down the letter in his hand and said with a blank expression.
"You just saw it. He was so powerful that he only used a ray of magic energy and almost made us escape. Why would he disguise himself as someone else?
And if we really want to verify whether or not it's William Devonshire, we only need to make a few phone calls to confirm it. "
That was true. It was impossible for ordinary people to get William's phone number, but Malfoy knew many people in the upper echelons of society.
As long as he told the people in the Devonshire manor about his identity and the purpose of his visit, if William really sent out an invitation, he might be able to chat over the phone first.
Although Narcissa agreed with Lucius's judgment, she still said worriedly, "I'm worried that this is a trap to lure you out.
After all, we have no relationship with the Devonshire Family. Why would he suddenly send you a letter? "
This question hit the nail on the head.
Although it was written in the letter that the reason for the meeting was basic magic, Lucius was very suspicious.
Since William was already so powerful, why did he still ask him to bring those beginner level magic books and magic theories to see him?
Could it be that the person who was so powerful that it made people fear him was a complete idiot who didn't know any spells or magic?
If that was the case, it was impossible not to be suspicious.
At this time, Narcissa, who had already read the letter, also had a doubtful and uneasy expression. She said, "What does this mean? Does he still need to learn magic? "
Lucius covered his head with his hand and felt that his brain was not enough. "Damn it, I also want to know what's going on."
Just as the Malfoys were at their wits' end, Draco suddenly said,
"This … Could it be that William Devonshire has never come into contact with an English wizard and has learned magic from another school?"
"This … This …"
Although the Malfoys were instinctively unhappy and even dissatisfied with Draco's words, they felt a sense of relief in their hearts.
They couldn't help but comfort themselves that it wasn't that they couldn't do it, but that England's magic system was not as strong as William's.
With this reason, Lucius was about to use his connections to contact William, but he saw a shining golden teleportation portal appear above the dining table.
Before the four people present could launch a defensive spell, a long string of golden light flew out from the portal.
At the same time, there was a series of metallic clanging sounds as the golden light flew down from the sky and stacked on the dining table.
"Gold coins."
In just a few seconds, there was no food on the dining table, but a large number of shiny gold coins appeared where the tableware was. As time passed, they formed a neat column of gold coins.
"Ten thousand Devonshire gold coins. Take it as a deposit. I'll be waiting for your arrival in London, Mr. Lucius Malfoy."
At this moment, the four people were dazzled by the gold coins on the table and only reacted when they heard William's words.
"Was William Devonshire talking just now?"
"Other than him, who else has ten thousand hundred grams of Devonshire gold coins?"
Lucius picked up a gold coin and looked at it under the light. He found that the light on the gold coin was even more dazzling.
"Do you see the light on the gold coin?"
Draco and the other two picked up the gold coin. Without looking carefully, they immediately knew that the light Lucius was talking about was the golden light on the gold coin.
"Some extraterrestrial metals are added to this gold coin, so other than William Devonshire, who can go to Mars, I can't think of anyone else who has ten thousand gold coins."
"And ten thousand gold coins means a ton of gold. 20 million dollars, 13.4 million pounds. Other than William Devonshire, who else would have the courage to use a ton of gold as a deposit?"
Narcissa, Draco, and Astoria couldn't help but nod. Some time ago, anyone who watched TV would understand that gold was not much better than copper to William.
"Okay, Narcissa, help me prepare a meeting gift. I'll go change into a formal suit and get to London early to prepare for the meeting. I don't want to be rude in front of Devonshire."
"Okay, dear."
Narcissa, who was dazzled by the gold, didn't have any thoughts about whether they were pure-blooded or not. She knew very well that the Devonshire family was much older and nobler than the Malfoy family.
In addition to William's fame, the strength he had just displayed, and the intoxicating golden sea on the table.
She used to think that her son Draco was the best, but she suddenly felt that it was better not to compare them.
Otherwise, she was afraid that Draco would feel inferior.
More than an hour later, at two o 'clock in the afternoon, Lucius hurriedly got into the old Rolls-Royce with a piece of celestial porcelain and a few copies of magic books left behind by the Malfoy family.
He simply said goodbye to his wife, son, and Astoria and ordered the driver to leave for London.
Once Lucius left, the Magus who had been monitoring him and Narcissa from outside Malfoy Manor reported the news of him leaving the manor without using Transference Phantom and instead taking a car to his superiors.
