Malfoy did not utter a word, and the study fell into a tense silence for a while. He could feel the cold sweat on his forehead, and the grip on his wand tightened unconsciously. He knew he was facing a dangerous situation, and he had to be careful with his words and actions.

He was dealing with Golden Viper - a mysterious and notorious newcomer who had emerged in the dark underworld in the past two or three years. Golden Viper had quickly gained fame and fortune for his high completion rate of commissioned tasks and his formidable strength. He could be regarded as a powerful and influential figure in the shady circles.

Of course, what helped his reputation the most was the group of werewolves that he had clashed with several times, led by Fenrir Greyback, who was standing in front of him right now. Greyback was a savage and bloodthirsty beast, who had bitten and infected many innocent people, including children. He was also a loyal follower of Lord Voldemort, who had entrusted him with recruiting more werewolves for his cause.

Even Lucius Malfoy, who never personally set foot in that filthy place, had heard many rumors and stories from the Ministry of Magic and some secret channels. He had learned that in the many conflicts between Golden Viper and the werewolves, this group of vicious creatures had suffered heavy losses, and even Fenrir Greyback himself had almost lost his life at the hands of that cunning snake.

To be honest, when Greyback said he wanted to inquire about someone, Malfoy had a vague guess in his mind, and Greyback's answer later confirmed his suspicion.

"I think you are looking for the wrong person, Greyback."

Malfoy maintained a stiff posture and said indifferently, trying to hide his emotions. "I don't have many friends or contacts in that disgusting place. If you really want to find out about this person, I can suggest you go to Kakus Fawley of the Fawley family. He specializes in this kind of thing. He knows everything that happens there."

"Oh Kakus Fawley,"

Greyback grinned with yellow teeth and looked insane. His eyes flashed with malice and hatred.

"We are not fools, old friend. There are rumors that Kakus Fawley has a good relationship with Golden Viper. They have worked together on some occasions. If we go to him, then that despicable snake might get the news in advance and escape from our grasp!"

Hmph–

Malfoy let out a barely audible sneer of contempt. If he wasn't afraid of offending Greyback, he really wanted to remind him how half of his body became like this. He had seen the scars and wounds on Greyback's face and torso, which were left by Golden Viper's spells and blades. He knew that Greyback had barely survived that encounter, and he was still seeking revenge!?

But unfortunately, his sneer was still heard by Greyback, who had keen senses like a wolf. The werewolf glared fiercely at him, and his face twisted with rage,

"We admit that the despicable guy is very powerful, old friend, but this time it's different. We have gathered a large team of our brothers and sisters, and we have cultivated a batch of special plants that can weaken his magic. As long as we know his true identity and whereabouts, wait and see, old friend. I will hang his skeleton on the Merlin statue in the small square to remind everyone that the power of werewolves is not to be ignored!"T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

As Greyback's face changed, Malfoy almost drew out his wand and attacked first. But fortunately, he finally suppressed his impulse. He knew that fighting Greyback here would only bring more trouble for himself. He had to find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"How dare you threaten my family, Greyback!"

Malfoy drew out his hidden wand from the cane with lightning speed and pointed it at the werewolf's eye who had a triumphant smile on his face,

"If Narcissa and Draco are hurt a little bit, I swear by the honor and pride of the Malfoy family, I will make everything related to werewolves in Britain disappear completely! I will hunt you down one by one and make you suffer a thousand times more than what you did to them!" Malfoy roared angrily.

"It's not easy to refuse a werewolf's request, old friend. Do you think I would be stupid enough to break into the famous and well-guarded Malfoy Manor alone to ask for your help?"

Greyback, who had nothing to fear or lose, ignored the wand that almost touched his eyelashes and sneered contemptuously.

"What do you want to do!"

Malfoy's voice trembled slightly. His wand pointed at Greyback's eye. As long as he moved his wrist slightly and recited the spell, he could end Greyback's life completely. But he didn't dare, because he knew that if he really did it, then Narcissa and Draco's lives would probably not be saved!

Greyback did not answer the question directly, but retracted his silver hand back into his cloak and fumbled for a while. After a while, he took out a wolf claw.

This claw emitted a foul and rotten smell, was black and cracked all over, and looked like it had been burned by fire or acid.

Bang!

Under Malfoy's puzzled and frightened gaze, Greyback split his mouth wide open and showed a crazy and wicked smile,

"In the underworld, it is necessary to pay for asking someone for help. And you know, we are all poor guys who can't afford a few galleons. So I took out my most precious and valuable thing as a reward. I hope you keep it well–"

Malfoy was sure that even on the day when he learned that the Dark Lord had fallen, his face would not be as ugly and horrified as it is now. Greyback glanced greedily at the gemstone peacock picture on the wall twice, then turned and walked towards the door without looking back.

"If you don't get any news for too long, old friend, we will come again."

Clang– A chilling and metallic sound came from behind the door. Lucius Malfoy slowly put down his wand and collapsed on the soft chair.
