Then.

"Gentlemen, let us raise a toast to our Lady Skeeter," Lucius Malfoy said, raising his glass. "Our Lady Skeeter not only brought us the materials for lunar meditation, but she also mastered the practice herself."

“I believe we will soon have more information about meditation.”

"Given time, the glory of the pure-blood family will return."

"Cheers to that, Miss Skeeter."

"A toast to the glory of the pure-blooded family '213'."

The pure-blood family members sitting below, with smiles on their faces, also raised their glasses and said, "Cheers, Miss Skeeter."

"A toast to the glory of the pure-blood family."

Previously, in order to obtain the idea of ​​meditation, they did not hesitate to put pressure on Dumbledore, put pressure on Hogwarts, and use the power of the family to suppress Xu Fu through public opinion.

As a result, they all failed.

I never imagined that with the help of a half-blood wizard, they could get what they wanted so easily.

Moreover, as one would expect, if handled properly, there will be opportunities to gain more privacy regarding meditation in the future.

At that time, Xufu County...

Thinking of this, impatience flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ms. Rita Skeeter standing in front of her.

Although the other party is a half-blood wizard, profit is paramount, making it worthwhile for them to pursue him vigorously.

“Here, Miss Skeeter.” Kane Parkinson, who was standing to the side, stood up, raised his glass to Rita Skeeter, and extended his hand. “We should work together more in the future.”

"The Parkinson family will never let any of our friends down."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Rita smiled and quickly raised her glass, saying, "It is my honor to cooperate with the Parkinson family."

Meanwhile, other family members raised toasts to Rita Skeeter.

The fact that the other party has a unique Animagus trait should warrant a different perspective.

Now, the other party is the key figure in the entire plan to steal meditation; anyone who doesn't win them over is a fool.

Face is completely useless in the face of sufficient benefits.

Sitting in the main seat, Lucius looked at the group of pure-blood families pressing down on his men, a gloomy shadow flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calm.

After a while...

咳!

Lucius Malfoy coughed slightly, and all eyes immediately turned to him.

Seeing this, Lucius slowly spoke up: "Gentlemen, thank you, Miss Rita Skeeter, we have already made some progress."

"But don't forget, Xu Fu and Dumbledore have joined forces, and ordinary tactics are no longer effective against them."

At this point, Lucius paused, his voice turning somewhat somber.

"Let us not forget that just the day before yesterday, at the school board meeting, Dumbledore forced Xu Fu to become an honorary member of the school board."

After hearing Lucius's words, everyone fell silent.

All of them, being members of the school's board of trustees, naturally knew what Dumbledore had done.

They instinctively opposed the proposal, but had no choice; on the other side was the principal, with very valid reasons and a much tougher stance.

Ultimately, the proposal had to be accepted.

Since Xu Fu is an honorary member of the school's board of trustees, it is often difficult for them to exert pressure on him through Hogwarts.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Lucius spoke up. "I've come up with a very good plan."

"I don't know if anyone is interested in listening to this."

Upon hearing Lucius's words, everyone nodded and said, "Lucius, just say it."

"Yes, if it's appropriate, I would absolutely support it."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lucius nodded slightly and said, "With this situation developing, it's impossible for us to try to attack Xu Fu through Hogwarts while Dumbledore is here."

"However, don't forget that Professor Xu Fu will submit articles related to meditation to European magic magazines."

"..."

As Lucius continued to explain his plan, the crowd looked at him with different expressions.

A good man, but as expected of someone from the Malfoy family, he is quite ruthless and shameless.

Upon hearing this, a look of doubt flashed in Rita Skeeter's eyes.

After a while,...

"What do you all think of my approach?" Lucius asked with a smile. "If possible, we should cooperate, and even involve some clans..."

After listening to Lucius's suggestion, everyone fell silent for a while, seemingly brainstorming a possible compromise.

This plan sounds good, but it requires a lot of resources, and if not handled carefully, the consequences could be quite serious.

Seemingly sensing everyone's indecisiveness, Lucius said seductively, "Gentlemen, you can't get rid of a child without the boy who cried wolf."

“Once we monopolize the concept of meditation in the future, the pure-blood family will not only be able to return to its peak.”

"Purebloods will always be purebloods!"

Lucius's seductive words added a heavy weight to the scales in their hearts.

“Okay, Lucius, I’m on your side,” Kane Parkinson said from the side.

Behind him were other pure-blood families.

Seeing this, Lucius smiled and seized the opportunity. In his hands, the Malfoy family would reach a new peak.

Once the atmosphere had calmed down a bit, Lucius smiled at Rita Skeeter and said again, "Make sure the plan goes smoothly once more."

“Miss Rita Skeeter, I think she’s the deputy editor of The Daily Prophet. Very suitable.”

"What do you think?"

After a brief silence, a voice came from the crowd: "Of course, Miss Skeeter is certainly a very suitable candidate for the position."

"Yes, given Miss Skeeter 0.9's experience, it couldn't be more suitable."

“…”

Upon hearing everyone's reaction, Rita's face lit up with joy, and she quickly thanked them, "Thank you, Lord Lucius, thank you for your recognition."

"I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

When everyone heard this, she gave Rita Skeeter an approving look.

But what she was thinking remains unknown.

Lucius was simply lending them his power to do Rita Skeeter a favor.

Rita Skeeter has already made such a great contribution, how could they refuse?

They all owned stock in The Daily Prophet and held the position of deputy editor, not editor-in-chief, but they still tried every means to climb the ranks.

However, it is clear that Rita Skeeter should definitely be doing Lucius a favor.

This might even have been discussed by the two of them beforehand.

Chapter 790 The Plot Against Voldemort's Soul Vessel

The Daily Prophet, editor's office.

Editor-in-Chief Cotton sat at his desk, listening quietly to his subordinate Berlin's incessant complaints, or rather... his display of loyalty.

“Editor-in-chief, you’ve worked hard for two or three decades to get to this position,” he said.

"And so, Rita Skeeter, a journalist who could only distort stories, became deputy editor because of her innocent family background."

"Is this fair? How can someone like that become the deputy editor-in-chief? Of course, we editors and reporters are not happy about it."

"Editor-in-chief, what do you think we should do?"

“If you tell the truth, no one in the entire newspaper will lay a hand on this woman who rose to power by selling herself.”

“…”

Cotton narrowed his eyes, listening intently to the roar in Berlin's voice. With his vast experience, how could he not detect the envy hidden beneath that nagging tone?

Rita Skeeter, a foolish, superficial journalist who only knew how to show off her writing skills, got the chance to get close to Zangiene and was given a position second only to herself as deputy editor.

This surprised him.

Generally speaking, for a parachuted-in person, Cotton has 100 ways to make her tenure at The Daily Prophet unsustainable.

But this time, many purebred families came to her, which even made him feel very insidious.

If he does it immediately, there will probably be more trouble.

Therefore, he had to devote more energy to this woman.

Hopefully, this woman won't flaunt his foolish ideas in the newspapers, otherwise she shouldn't accuse him of being heartless.

As his thoughts unfolded, Cotton reached out to interrupt Bolin's complaints, saying, "Bolin, I know what everyone's thinking."
