Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

No pure-blood family's money is clean, but the Burke family's money is the dirtiest.

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

In fact, they are not very popular even among pureblood families.

A large part of the reason for this comes from the way they assist the declining pure-blood families - loan sharking.

No pure-blood family wanted to deal with them unless absolutely necessary.

Because these vampires never show any affection on Golden Gallon.

Therefore, when the thin Mr. Burke with gold-rimmed glasses walked in, Voldemort did not give him any good looks.

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

"Snapped."

Voldemort flicked his wand and interrupted the other party's words.

forgive?

This is not a word that Voldemort likes to hear. It means that others have made mistakes in themselves.

And if you make a mistake, you should be punished, not forgiven.

“Speak of your goals, not what is already certain.”

Voldemort looked coldly, adjusted the monocle and said, "Also, don't mention that person's name."

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

The emaciated Mr. Burke stood there, rubbing his hands, and said cautiously, "Lord Dark Lord, can anyone in my family join the Death Eater organization?"

"Join the Death Eaters?" Voldemort said with a surprised expression, "Do you want to make loan sharks in this organization?"

"ha."

Before the embarrassed Mr. Bock could say anything, Lucius in the dark corner laughed briefly.

The voice was full of disdain for the Bok 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 difference is mainly due to the Malfoy family's property, but more to 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 make the most shady money and engage in the most shady business.

And because of money, they are so inhumane that they have no friends.

"Lord Dark Lord, the Bock family is a rule-abiding family. Although we have many invisible transactions, you know that there is always someone in need of us..."

"Mr. Bock."

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

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

Voldemort said and waved his hand, and Lucius immediately stood up to see off the guests.

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

He lowered his head and drank coffee, refusing to communicate with his expression.

Lucius, who walked towards Mr. Bock, also had a greedy look in his eyes.

Ever since Voldemort clearly punished the Borkin shopkeeper, a group of Death Eater families have begun to be eager to attack the Bork family.

They are preparing to annex the Bock family's property in different areas and in different ways.

This is why Mr. Bock came here to meet Voldemort no matter what.

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

While being driven away by Lucius, Mr. Bok struggled and said, "I, on behalf of the Bok family, am willing to vassal under the Gaunt family you represent."

"Well?"

Lucius' movements suddenly stopped. He looked at the other party in disbelief, but saw Mr. Burke just looking over his shoulder and staring at Voldemort behind him.

"Wait a minute, Lucius."

Voldemort's voice sounded, with a hint of interest in his words, "Tell me your price, Mr. Burke, you only have one chance."

"Okay, okay, Lord Dark Lord."

Mr. Bock pursed his lips nervously, clenching and unclenching his hands nervously.

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

Vassal, that is almost giving up the family's independence and completely relying on Voldemort... to be more precise, under the Gaunt family.

While thinking about it, Lucius suddenly realized that the other party was trying to take advantage.

If he chooses to be a vassal under Voldemort, or under the surname Riddle that Voldemort represents, it is indeed easy to be looked down upon.

But if it’s the Gunter family…

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

It is noble enough and will not make the already shameless Bock family even more embarrassing.

And more importantly, this is a vassalage between two families, not a private vassalage.

In this vassal relationship, mutual benefit must be guaranteed.

In other words, in this relationship, it would be difficult for Voldemort to take away from the Burke family.

Of course, even if these problems exist, once the vassal contract is established - which requires signing a magical contract - Voldemort will undoubtedly have an extra powerful arm.

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

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

"The Bok family is willing to give up half of their property in order to obtain the status of a vassal family."

Mr. Burke said through gritted teeth, always paying attention to Voldemort's face.

He needs to determine whether he wants to continue to add more money in order to obtain the safest result.

Voldemort did not show an overly excited expression. Apart from the initial surprise and joy, his expression hardly changed.

"What are your needs?" Voldemort asked.

"We only ask for your protection and not to let the Burke family be implicated because of that person." Mr. Burke lowered his head and said.

"It's not that it's unacceptable." Voldemort murmured, looking at Lucius, and said, "What do you think?"

This seemed to be asking Lucius, but in fact it was 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.

And on this point, they also asked Voldemort for advice.

Voldemort agreed, for no other reason than to give enough benefits to his own people.

There is no reason not to be generous to others.

Things have changed now, but Voldemort doesn't really want to cause trouble.

"Everything follows your arrangements, Lord Dark Lord."

Lucius was smart enough not to respond clearly and kicked the ball back to Voldemort.

"Pah, pah, pah..."

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

Of course he wanted to have an affiliated family. In this way, he would have a private enough power.

But he didn't want to withhold the benefits promised to the Death Eaters, because if the superior broke his promise, it would reduce his authority.

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

Voldemort paused for a moment before he continued, "Property confiscation to fund the Death Eaters' activities."

At this point, the conflicts between all parties have been balanced. This is the best plan that Voldemort has come up with.

"As you command, Lord Dark Lord."

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

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