Volume 9: The reins handed over Chapter 544 Don’t force me!
Lucius was extremely nervous.
He carefully pushed open the door of the minister's office and saw that little Batty, who was already looking tired, was now lying on his side on a high-back chair and had fallen asleep.
It was obvious that he had put something in little Barty's teacup.
After returning to the minister's office, Lucius was extremely nervous, but he did not feel any regret for what he had done.
The final showdown on the front line has begun, although everyone in the British wizarding world says that their master will definitely win in the end.
But only a very small number of people know that in the battle at the Ministry of Magic not long ago, their omnipotent master was killed twice in a row within one day!
And Lucius was one of the insiders.
He didn't understand Horcruxes, nor did he understand why Voldemort couldn't be killed. He didn't understand why John was still able to fight Voldemort after Dumbledore's death.
The only thing he understood was that the direction of this war was becoming more confusing.
If Voldemort can be killed once or twice, he can be killed more times, and how long can his immortality last?
In the British Ministry of Magic, Lucius already holds a high position, but what if the Wizarding World really wins in the end?
After getting a personal promise from John from Draco, Lucius was willing to take a small risk. As long as he didn't have to face Voldemort directly, there would still be room for recovery even if he was discovered.
Lucius stared at little Barty, who seemed to have fallen asleep, and called his name twice to make sure whether he was really asleep.
Seeing that little Barty's breathing was even and he showed no sign of waking up, Lucius took out a small bottle of medicine from his pocket.
That was the truth serum he had prepared in advance.
Then he slowly walked to Little Barty's side, opened the lid of the potion, and was about to cover Little Barty's mouth with his other hand!
Little Barty, who seemed to be still asleep, suddenly grabbed Lucius' hand!
The force was so great, like an iron clamp, that Lucius was frightened so much that he almost dropped the potion in his hand!
"What do you want to know from me?"
Little Barty's expression was very grim. He tightly grasped Lucius' arm with one hand, and with the other hand, he had pulled out the wand at some point and pointed it at Lucius' forehead!
Lucius was extremely shocked. He didn't understand how he was discovered.
At this moment, Barty's reaction clearly showed that he had noticed his abnormality, so he took advantage of the situation and caught his little trick on the spot!
"I……"
Lucius opened his mouth, trying to form his words, but in fact his hand, which was originally holding the bottle of truth serum, had already hidden behind his body and quietly reached for the wand in his pocket.
However, before his fingers could touch the end of the wand, Little Barty began to wave the wand in his hand.
Lucius's original hope of getting the wand was instantly dashed, as he was deprived of all means of resistance by this silent disarming spell!
Lucius's face turned completely pale . He looked into Little Barty's cold eyes and tried to free his bound hands from his hands.
"I just want to know how the benefits will be divided after the war. Although it's not right, I don't mean to harm you! Let go, Batty, please, don't force me!"
"I force you?"
Not only did Barty Jr. not let go of Lucius' arm, he directly snatched the bottle of truth serum!
He looked at Lucius with extreme coldness.
"The ready-made things are here, so let me verify what you want to do!"
"Don't push me!"
"Drink it!"
The bottle of truth serum had been forced into Lucius' mouth!
"I said...don't push me!"
Lucius was struggling, but the liquid in the bottle was poured into his throat without his control!
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Little Barty closely. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he used the tip of his thumb of the hand that was held by Little Barty to crush the ring on his ring finger!
The next moment, the extremely powerful effect of the truth serum impacted his consciousness, causing him to completely fall into a drowsy state!
But the crushed ring had quietly played its intended role.
The most stringent anti-Apparition magic originally set up in the British Ministry of Magic was quietly torn open at this moment.
"Tell me, what do you want to know from me!"
Little Batty didn't notice anything unusual around him. He stared at Lucius. A terrible premonition arose in his mind. He could feel that Lucius's purpose was definitely not simple!
"Looking for...looking for something..."
"What are you looking for? Who told you to look for it?"
"I asked him to find it."
An abrupt voice interrupted the question and answer.
The moment he heard this voice, all the hairs on little Batty's body stood up, but at this moment, his body could not move at all!
And this person who appeared in the minister's office at some unknown time has already walked into his sight.
Grindelwald!
Little Batty remembered this face clearly! This loser that his master always looked down upon!
He didn't know what Lucius had done to allow Grindelwald to come to Voldemort's core base, but he was clear that perhaps his master could underestimate this old man, but everyone else except him could only look up to him!
Grindelwald didn't give him more time to think. He kicked Lucius, who was still unconscious, to the side.
When Jon first started planning with him, he had already taken into account the possibility of his failure, so he gave him an option to take desperate measures.
The reason why Grindelwald appeared here was obviously because Lucius' own plan failed. He triggered this method that could save himself, but once used, it would mean that there would be no turning back.
However, in fact, from the moment he agreed to Jon, he could no longer turn back, but he himself did not know it.
Grindelwald's method was extremely quick and decisive. He didn't even bother to look at the bottle of truth serum which still had some liquid left in it. Instead, he directly pressed Barty Jr.'s upper body onto the desk.
Then, he held down little Barty's head with one hand, and controlled the wand with the other hand to extract memories from his mind!
"Oh, it's just as Jon guessed. To be on the safe side, he also made a defense in your mind."
