Chapter 73 Surprise and fright(2/2)
Listening to the weird gossips of various ancient families is much more interesting than playing magic cards itself.
For a moment, everyone gathered around little Barty, waiting for him to tell the dark history of his damn father.
Little Barty didn't hesitate and spoke immediately.
But at this moment, an owl flew into the living room.
It hovered over the heads of the crowd, and finally, after someone threw it a gold galleon, it threw a large pile of bundled newspapers directly in the center of the card table.
"The latest edition of the Daily Prophet! It must have news about yesterday's attack!" Alex grabbed a newspaper and said, "I hope I will appear in the photos taken by those bastard reporters! This is terrible!
so cool!"
Obviously, other Death Eaters had similar thoughts to Alex.
Everyone immediately left little Barty who had not yet spoken, grabbed a newspaper and started reciting.
The newspapers indeed contained a large amount of descriptions of yesterday's attack, with pictures and texts. Whether it was the words used or the magical photos, they all revealed a sense of panic.
In the eyes of Death Eaters, these words are undoubtedly the best compliment to them!
Everyone recited it with gusto, and when it reached its climax, they couldn't help but scream twice or praise the excellence of John's last giant painting!
“What’s so great about John Shafiq!”
Little Barty, who had been robbed of the limelight, also picked up a newspaper and complained softly while flipping through it.
Now he doesn't have the slightest fondness for John.
The other party not only slandered their loyalty in the previous meeting, but yesterday even caused them to be scolded by the Dark Lord.
This feeling of hatred made him so irritable that he couldn't even read the description of the attack details in the first half of the report. He turned directly to another page to see other news content.
However, as soon as his eyes fell on the text on another page, he was stunned.
Because the whole page of the newspaper is full of family names.
Little Barty even saw the name ‘Crouch’ in it.
And at the end of the list, there is a line of small words printed:
[The treasury rented by the above families in Gringotts has been looted in this attack.]
"ah--"
Little Barty screamed and fell off the chair, as if he had been frightened.
The Death Eaters looked at Barty Jr. in confusion, not understanding what happened.
But when they also saw the contents of the list at the back and found their last names in it, a series of even more horrifying screams rang out from the living room.
"What happened?"
Bella was woken up and frowned.
Her husband grabbed her hand and shouted in horror:
"It's over! Our treasury has been looted!"
Bella's face turned pale instantly after hearing this.
