He subconsciously wanted to take out his wand.

But as soon as his hands were inserted into his robe, his body froze.

Because Voldemort really looked at him like a dead man.

This made the Death Eater realize.

If he dared to attack John in front of the Dark Lord, death would definitely be waiting for him.

"I still object!" Bella gritted her teeth and said, "John, we all know about your grudge against the goblin! You are seeking public benefit for personal gain!"

"I'm using the public for personal gain? Hahaha——"

John laughed as if he heard a joke, "Don't you know what I'm doing?

For the Dark Lord's great plan, I am lurking in Hogwarts at the risk of being discovered at any time, sent to Azkaban, or even executed!

As a result, you actually said that I was seeking personal gain from public affairs and suspected that I was a villain?

Then I have to ask you!

What were you doing while I was risking my life?"

Bella scratched her neck and said:

"Are we working for the Dark Lord too?"

"Then why don't I see you have achieved anything for the Dark Lord's great plan?" John almost shouted, "I only see a group of you surrounding the Dark Lord, trying to coax the Dark Lord with false sweet words.

Demon King, gain the Dark Lord's trust for your benefit!

I only see that you are criticizing and quarreling with each other! Constantly fighting among yourself! You want to exclude dissidents and monopolize the favor of the Dark Lord!

Apart from that, have you done anything practical?"

Bella was silent.

There are many more silent Death Eaters like her.

They really didn't know how to refute John.

Because just now, they were quarreling with each other.

No matter who puts forward any plans or suggestions, they will be attacked by others.

This is also the main reason why this meeting lasted all afternoon and no progress was made.

And when things got to this point, John still didn't intend to let these Death Eaters go.

He stood up slowly, approached Bella and said:

"For the Dark Lord's great plan, Michael and I gave the Black Mansion, and Malfoy gave his own mansion! What did you give?"

Bella said with a trembling voice:

"We were imprisoned in Azkaban..."

"Azkaban! Azkaban! You always talk about Azkaban and want to use this matter to show your loyalty to the Dark Lord! Is it right to say that you have hard work without credit?"

John said, "But what about the reality? Your so-called loyalty only exists in words and is false!"

"certainly not……"

"If not why did you object to the attack on Gringotts?"

John interrupted angrily, "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?

The reason why you object is entirely because all your own wealth is hidden in Gringotts!

Are you afraid that after Gringotts is captured, the Dark Lord will discover your huge wealth and want you to hand it over?

You only have your own interests at heart, and you are worried about becoming an unlucky guy like Malfoy, right?

You are the ones who seek personal gain from public affairs!”

The Death Eaters were trembling.

This is both because of anger and fear.

John did hit on part of their thoughts.

Although Voldemort forcibly expropriated Malfoy Manor, it was in the name of punishing Lucius.

But it also caused quite a psychological shadow on the Death Eaters.

Who would want their family wealth to be taken away by Voldemort casually?

No one except the most die-hard Death Eaters wants this.

And Bella and Barty Jr. are such people.

Therefore, all they were filled with was the anger that their loyalty to the Dark Lord had been slandered.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Bella almost growled and said, "My loyalty to the Dark Lord is true! For the Dark Lord, I am also willing to dedicate all my family wealth!"

"Ha! What's the use of just talking?" John sneered, "After all, didn't you object to the attack on Gringotts just now?"

Hearing this, Bella's turtle husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, couldn't help it.

"We opposed the attack on Gringotts because we did want to protect the Strange family's treasury! But we don't care about the wealth inside!

What we care about are the treasures that the Dark Lord entrusted us to store in the vault!"

He was almost blinded by anger and said like crazy, "We are the most loyal to the Dark Lord and the most trusted by the Dark Lord!

That treasure is proof!

The Dark Lord doesn’t trust anyone else but me..."

"Snapped--"

Bella interrupted her husband's words with a hard slap.

Her expression was extremely ugly.

Because her husband had just directly revealed the Dark Lord's most important secret.

Almost subconsciously, she turned to look at the Dark Lord.

Sure enough, she saw Voldemort staring at her and her husband with a pair of narrowed eyes flashing dangerous red light.

And at the same time.

John was also shocked.

'The Dark Lord has precious treasures hidden in the Strange family's vault...'

This news is extremely precious.

Because the Malfoy family actually received a similar mission and was entrusted by Voldemort to hold and protect the Horcrux "Tom Riddle's Diary".

Therefore, the treasure that came to the Strange family's vault is very likely... no, it must also be a Horcrux!

And it’s a Horcrux—Hufflepuff’s golden cup!

"call--"

John took a deep breath and almost couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This is really an unexpected surprise!
