Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 384 Affiliated Family
No pure-blood family has clean money, but the Bocks have the dirtiest money.

This sentence circulated in the wizarding world is enough to show how unpopular the Bock family is.

In fact, even among pure-blood families, they are not very popular.

A large part of the reason for this comes from the way they aid the declining pure-blood families - usury.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, no pure-blood family wants to deal with them.

Because these vampires, on Jin Gallon, never talk about any affection.

So Voldemort didn't give him any good looks when the thin, gold-rimmed Mr. Bork walked in.

"Great Lord Dark Lord, please forgive me..."

"Snapped."

Voldemort moved his wand, directly interrupting the other party's words.

forgive?

It wasn't a word Voldemort liked to hear, it meant someone else had made a mistake on their own.

When you make a mistake, you should be punished, not forgiven.

"State your goals, not things you've already established."

With a cold face, Voldemort adjusted the monocle and said, "Also, don't mention that person's name."

"Yes... yes, Lord Dark Lord."

The thin Mr. Bock stood there, rubbing his hands, and said cautiously, "Master Dark Lord, may someone in my family join the Death Eaters organization?"

"Join the Death Eaters?" Voldemort said with a surprised expression. "Do you want to lend usury in this organization?"

"what."

Before the embarrassed Mr. Bork had anything to say, Lucius in the dark corner first gave a short laugh.

That voice was full of disdain for the Bork family.

Perhaps the Burke family has enough funds to rival the Malfoy family, but in terms of connections and face, they are far behind.

The gap mainly comes from the property of the Malfoy family, and more depends on shrewd vision and decisive decision-making.

They rarely use dirty tricks.

And although they care about money, they are never stingy when their companions need help.

The Bock family is the complete opposite.

They earn the most shady money and engage in the most shady business.

And for the sake of money, they are so inhumane that they have no friends.

"Lord Dark Lord, the Bock family is a well-behaved family. Although we have a lot of business that is not visible, you know, we are always in need of someone..."

"Mr. Bock."

Voldemort interrupted again, "Are you testing my endurance, or increasing my dislike of your family?

"Rejection, this is an unchangeable result. If there is nothing else, this meeting will come to an end."

Voldemort waved his hands as he spoke, and Lucius immediately stood up to see off the guests.

Mr. Burke obviously wanted to say something more, but Voldemort didn't want to say any more.

He drank his coffee with his head down, and refused to communicate with him.

Lucius, who was walking towards Mr. Bork, also had a greedy look in his eyes.

Ever since Voldemort clearly punished the owner of the Bork shop, all the Death Eater families have been eager to try the Bork family.

They are preparing to annex the property of the Bork family in different fields and in different ways.

That's why Mr. Bork came here to see Voldemort no matter what.

"Black... Lord Dark Lord, please listen to me."

While being driven away by Lucius, Mr. Burke struggled and said, "I, I represent the Burke family, and I am willing to be a vassal under the Gaunt family you represent."

"Uh?"

Lucius's movements stopped suddenly, and he looked at the other party in disbelief, only to see that Mr. Bork just looked over his shoulder and stared at Voldemort behind him.

"Wait a minute, Lucius."

Voldemort's voice sounded, and there was a bit of interest in the words, "Tell your price, Mr. Bork, you only have one chance."

"Okay, okay, Lord Dark Lord."

Mr. Bork pursed his lips nervously, clenched and loosened his hands nervously.

Lucius stepped aside and looked at the other party with more interest.

A vassal, that almost gave up the independence of the family, completely attached to Voldemort... more precisely, under the Gaunt family.

While thinking about it, Lucius suddenly realized that the other party was playing tricks.

If he chose to be vassalized under Voldemort, or under the surname Riddle that Voldemort represented, it would be easy to be looked down upon indeed.

But if it's the Gunters...

This has a clear pedigree, continuing from the blood of Slytherin.

It is noble enough that it will not make the already shameless Bork family even more embarrassing.

And more importantly, this is a vassal between the two families, not a personal vassal.

This kind of vassal relationship, mutual benefit must be guaranteed.

In other words, in this relationship, it is very difficult for Voldemort to take anything from the Burke family.

Of course, even if these problems exist, once the vassal contract is established-this is to sign a magic contract-Voldemort will undoubtedly have an extra powerful arm.

Their loyalty to Voldemort is even higher than that of Death Eaters to some extent.

Death Eaters are beliefs, but vassals are interests, and they will be more tightly bound.

"The Bock family is willing to donate half of their property in order to obtain the status of a vassal family."

Mr. Bork gritted his teeth and said, always paying attention to Voldemort's face.

He needs to determine whether he will continue to increase the price in order to obtain the safest result.

Voldemort didn't show an overly excited expression, except for the initial surprise and joy, his expression hardly changed.

"What about your needs?" Voldemort asked.

"We only ask for your protection, and we won't implicate the Bork family because of that person." Mr. Burke bowed his head and said.

"It's not unacceptable." Voldemort murmured and looked at Lucius, "What do you think?"

This seems to be asking Lucius, but it is actually asking for the opinion of the Death Eaters represented by Lucius.

Because a group of Death Eaters have already made a complete plan on how to devour and carve up the Bock family.

On this point, they also consulted Voldemort.

Voldemort agreed, for nothing more than to give enough benefits to his own people.

There is no reason not to be generous to others.

Things had changed now, but Voldemort wasn't too keen on creating complications.

"Everything is according to your arrangement, Lord Dark Lord."

Lucius wisely did not make a clear response and kicked the ball back into Voldemort's hands.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Voldemort slapped his hand on his thigh, thinking about what to do.

Of course, he wanted to own the subsidiary family, so that he would have enough private power.

But he didn't want to deny the benefits he promised to the Death Eaters, because breaking his promise would reduce his authority.

"The application of the affiliated family has been approved, as for the property handed over..."

Voldemort paused for a moment before he went on to say, "Property confiscated to fund Death Eaters' activities."

So far, the contradictions of all parties have been balanced, which is the best plan Voldemort came up with.

"As you order, Lord Dark Lord."

Lucius responded immediately, expressing his support for Voldemort's decision.

As for Mr. Bork, he had no choice but to accept Voldemort's arrangement.
