Chapter 545: Don’t force me!

Lucius was nervous.

He carefully pushed open the door to the Minister's office room and saw Barty Jr. who was already full of fatigue now lying on the high-backed chair, asleep.

Obviously, he had put a little something in Barty's cup of tea.

After re-entering the Minister's office, Lucius' heart was apprehensive, but he didn't have the slightest bit of regret for what he had already done.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

The final showdown on the frontline had already begun, and although most people in the British magical community believed that their lord was bound to win the final victory.

A few people knew that in that battle of the Ministry of Magic that had only recently passed, their omnipotent lord had been killed twice consecutively in a single day!

And Lucius was one of those who knew.

He didn't understand Horcruxes, he didn't understand why Voldemort couldn't be killed, and he didn't understand why Jon actually had the strength to fight Voldemort after Dumbledore's death.

The only thing he understands is that the direction of this war has become even more confusing.

Since Voldemort could be killed once or twice, he could be killed many more times, and how long would he be able to maintain this undead trait?

On the side of the Ministry of Magic in Britain, Lucius was already in a high position, but what if Witching Horizon did end up winning?

After getting a certain personal promise from Jon via Draco, Lucius was willing to come and take a slight risk for once, as long as it wasn't something that directly confronted Voldemort, then, even if he was found out, there was still room for redemption.

Lucius stared at Barty, who appeared to have fallen asleep and called out his name twice to make sure he was really asleep.

Only after seeing that Barty's breathing was even, and he didn't have the slightest intention of waking up did Lucius pull out a small vial of potion from his pocket.

That was the Truth Potion that he had prepared beforehand.

Then he slowly walked over to Barty's side, opened the lid of the potion, and his other hand was about to go and press on Barty's mouth as he did so!

The originally seemingly sleeping Barty Jr. suddenly grabbed Lucius's hand!

The strength was so great that it was like an iron pincer, and it scared Lucius so much that he almost dropped the potion in his hand on the ground!

"What do you want to know from me?"

Barty Jr.'s expression was grim as he tightly grabbed Lucius' arm with one hand, and with the other hand, he somehow pulled out his wand at some point, already aiming it at Lucius' forehead!

Lucius was shocked to the extreme in his heart, he didn't understand how he was discovered.

Barty Jr., however, didn't even notice what kind of abnormality appeared around him, he stared at Lucius closely, and a terrible premonition rose from his mind, he could feel that Lucius' purpose was definitely not simple!

"Looking for... looking for something..."

"Looking for what! Who told you to look for it!"

"I told him to look for it."

An abrupt voice interjected into this question and answer.

The moment he heard this voice, the sweaty hairs on Barty Jr's entire body flared up, but at this time, his body couldn't move at all!

And this person who had appeared inside the Minister's office at an unknown time had already walked in his line of sight.

Grindelwald!

Barty Jr. remembered the face clearly! This loser who his lord had never looked up and despised!

He wasn't sure what Lucius had done to allow Grindelwald to come to the heart of Voldemort's base camp, but what he did know was that while his lord might be able to underestimate this old man, anyone other than him would have to look up to him!

Grindelwald, however, didn't give him any more time to think at all as he kicked Lucius, who was still in a state of unconsciousness, to the side.

When Jon had gone through the plan with him at the beginning, he had already counted on the possibility of him failing and had given him the option of being able to jump over the wall to the other side during the dogfight.

The only reason Grindelwald was able to show up was obviously because Lucius' own plan had failed, and he had triggered the means that would save him, but once he used that, it meant that there would be no turning back at all.

However, in fact, from the moment he promised to pick up something for Jon, there was no turning back, he just didn't know that himself.

Grindelwald's tactics were incomparably crisp and clean, he didn't even look at the vial of Truth Potion that still had some of the liquid left in it, but instead, he directly pressed the upper half of Barty Jr.'s body down onto the desk.

Then, with one hand on Barty's head and the other controlling the wand, he extracted the memories from his mind!

"Heh, true to Jon's guess, he made a defence in your head too, just to be on the safe side."
