Seeing that Harry didn't want to get close to Lucius, Hermione stepped forward and stood between the two, staring straight at Lucius.
Lucius couldn't advance or retreat, and William saw that he had achieved his goal today. The deal with the Malfoys was settled, and he didn't want to be stuck with Lucius so easily.
Seizing the opportunity to end today's meeting, he stood up with a smile, straightened his clothes, and shook hands with the four Auror. "It's getting late, I won't disturb you any longer."
"O-okay, Mr Devonshire."
The four Auror's attitude towards William had changed greatly. Although there had been disagreements before, William had only restricted them.
Of course, such an outcome was inseparable from William's ability, which made people unable to resist him, and his great reputation in the real world.
Otherwise, if someone else tried, even if they couldn't win, these Auror would definitely run away to call for reinforcements.
He was strong, rich, and had status, but he was polite, peaceful, and not stingy at all.
In the past hour or so, everyone had drunk three bottles of '61 Latour. It had to be known that a bottle of' 61 Latour cost at least fifty thousand pounds, and there was no place to buy it with money.
If not for the fact that William was the owner of Latour, and that his mother, Lena, had shares in Gordon's Restaurant, the restaurant wouldn't have been supplied with Latour and Chateau Margaux.
William wanted to leave, but the four Auror didn't have any intention of stopping him. Instead, they gave Hermione and Harry a look.
They hinted that they shouldn't be meddlesome and that William, this humanoid monster, should leave as soon as possible.
William only smiled at the small actions of the people behind him and nodded to the worried bearded Harry as a form of greeting.
Then he looked at Hermione, but the first thing he saw was the freckles on her face and the ring on her ring finger. William felt that it was a pity.
He suddenly lost interest in greeting and getting to know her.
But just because he didn't want to provoke her didn't mean that she wouldn't cause trouble for him.
"Wait, you can't leave before the matter is cleared up."
"It's alright, Ms. Granger. We've already investigated the matter."
Seeing that Hermione was trying to stop William, the four Auror hurriedly stepped forward. The female Auror pulled Hermione back and made way for them. "We won't disturb you any further, Sir Devonshire. We'll take care of the rest."
"Thank you."
Nodding to the puzzled Hermione, William turned to look at Lucius. Lucius smiled and shook his head. "It's okay, Mr. Devonshire. I still have something to talk to Harry about."
Although he didn't want Lucius to board his ship so quickly, it was William's responsibility to ensure that nothing happened to him today.
Otherwise, who would dare to meet him personally in the future? Who would dare to do business with the Devonshire family?
"Are you sure, Mr. Malfoy? If it's not important, I can send someone to escort you back to Malfoy Manor. "
Hearing this, although Lucius wasn't happy that he didn't get to meet William, he was still a little grateful that William wasn't someone who would kick him to the curb after he'd outlived his usefulness.
"Thank you, but there's really no need for the trouble. After talking to Harry, I still have to go to a relative's house in London."
"Okay, see you next time, Mr. Malfoy."
After the formalities, William brought Black Phantom Lei Cang downstairs under the watchful eyes of the people in the room.
When they came downstairs, they saw the restaurant manager waiting at the stairs. William smiled and said, "I really liked the Meatball today. Please thank Head Chef Gordon for me."
After that, he reached into his pocket in a good mood and took out three Devonshire gold coins from his storage space. "This is an extra tip for you and the two waiters. Tell Sunday about today's bill. He'll settle it with you."
"Understood, Mr. Devonshire." The restaurant manager took the three gold coins excitedly and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
After sending William out of the restaurant, he got into the car and left. The manager looked at the gold coins in his hand happily as he walked back to the restaurant.
The seven wizards upstairs were clearly divided into two sides and sat opposite each other.
Lucius held a glass of wine and stared at the seven people in front of him with an unfriendly expression. He wanted to watch the show and help William solve the problem.
However, he didn't expect the four Toros to surrender directly. He didn't succeed in getting to know William, but in the end, it helped William's reputation.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. However, if you want to tell me about the wizard's confidentiality rules, save it. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
Looking at the confident Lucius, Harry and Hermione, who didn't know the specific situation, could only look at the Toro captain.
"Let's go back to the Ministry of Magic first." After that, the Toro captain looked at his three companions.
The three of them thought about it and nodded in agreement. There was no point in holding onto Lucius at this time.
The most important thing now was to report William's strength to the Ministry of Magic and let the higher-level wizards have a headache.
England's Ministry of Magic would be shocked, puzzled, and uneasy after hearing the report.
When William returned home, it was only a little over ten o 'clock. However, as soon as he entered the house, he heard the sound of cards being counted again from the living room.
William looked at Black Phantom helplessly and said with a headache, "Go and rest. There's nothing going on recently, so you can take a break. You don't have to hide in the manor all day."
"No need, sir." Lei Cang shook his head. "I don't always stay in the manor. When I'm free, I sometimes stay in the tea house I opened."
"That's good. Good night."
"Yes, good night, sir." Lei Cang bowed respectfully to William and left silently.
Walking into the living room, he walked to his mother's side, kissed her on the cheek, and asked with a smile.
"How's the battle, mom? Do you want me to help you change your luck?"
"Go away." Lena was happy to see William come home at ten o 'clock, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but point at Jessie, who was sitting opposite her.
"If you're in the mood, why don't you help Jessie? She already owes us more than three hundred gold coins. If this goes on, she won't have any pocket money."
"Hmm?"
William looked at Jessie in confusion. In his opinion, Jessie was the one who shouldn't have lost the most.
This girl had been living on the streets of New York since she was young and was determined to be a thief. It was impossible that she had never come into contact with things like mahjong. How could she lose so badly?
When William looked at Jessie, he quickly realized that this girl's heart was beating faster.
Was she guilty? She lost so much. William, who knew her background, was looking at her in embarrassment.
"No need, mom. There's a winner and a loser at the table. After she loses this month's pocket money, there's still Serena. I'll stay with you. "
"Haha." Lena was very happy that William didn't leave her side.
The game continued for two rounds, and William soon found the problem. Abigail could remember the cards, and Nisa could sense the heartbeat of the other people at the table.
Only Jessie was the most honest. She didn't use her hand speed.
As for Lena, she only needed to play her own cards. Sometimes the other three women could win, but she didn't. She would rather wait for herself to win.
William pretended to pour wine for himself. When he came back, he stood behind Jessie and whispered, "Let me see if your hand speed has regressed."
