Cornelius Fudge, the current Minister of Magic.
In fact, the stocky little man only took over as minister in 1990.
That's right, this year is only Fudge's second year as minister.
But that didn't stop Fudge from being obsessed with power and status.
But it's a pity, on top of him is the greatest wizard of the century, Albus Dumbledore.
Most of the time, Fudge and Dumbledore disagreed because the wizards at the Ministry of Magic preferred Dumbledore.
"Oh~ Mr. Malfoy, long time no see!"
Fudge stepped out from behind his desk laughing.
And when he saw the blond boy standing next to Malfoy, he asked in surprise, "This is Mr. Grindelwald, right?"
"Nice to meet you, Minister Fudge."
Lucas stepped forward to greet him.
Fudge has a great obsession with power, which made him have a great affection for people from pure-blood families.
He shook hands with Lucas cordially and invited everyone to his meeting room.
"Oh, I've heard what happened just now, and I feel really sorry for causing you all such trouble."
Fudge said to Lucas apologetically.
"You don't need to blame yourself. On the contrary, for me who just entered the British magic world, such an impartial and law-enforcement attitude made me feel more at ease."
Upon hearing the reassuring words spoken in an elegant tone, Fudge looked at the blond boy in front of him with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
Lucas continued: "Actually, my family and I had certain concerns before coming to England."
"Sorry, maybe you won't like what I say next, but I still need to say it."
Fudge nodded understandingly, and held out his hand for Lucas to continue.
"We came here this time, in addition to planning to settle in England, we also plan to settle down the property, but before we came, we were still very worried about you-know-who."
Hearing Lucas mention that man, the office suddenly became silent.
Especially Fudge, he even trembled a little when he heard the words "you-know-who".
Sure enough, just as the collected information said, the minister of the British Ministry of Magic is greedy for power and also a weak coward at the same time.
Otherwise he wouldn't always be compromising with Dumbledore.
"Mr. Grindelwald, that man was wiped out more than ten years ago. You and your family can rest assured."
"Of course, I believe your words very much, especially when I came to the Ministry of Magic this time and saw your subordinates enforce the law impartially, which made me more confident about settling here."
After Lucas finished speaking, he looked at Fudge, with a trace of admiration in his eyes.
"Speaking of which, Minister Fudge is responsible for all of this. It's great that you were elected Minister of Magic!"
Hearing these words, Fudge's smile almost reached his ears and he looked at Lucas with growing satisfaction.
But Lucas didn't intend to end it like this.
He looked at Vinda behind him and said, "Vinda, I remember your family is Rosier, right?"
Fudge looked at the beautiful woman standing aside in surprise.
"I didn't expect you to be from the Rosier family. It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am."
Vinda smiled charmingly and nodded to Fudge.
That's not all. Lucas also mentioned several members of the Sacred Twenty-Eight family working under him.
So that Fudge knew that he could fully support his re-election as Minister of Magic.
Lucius Malfoy also said at this time: "Minister Fudge, Mr. Grindelwald and I are planning to fully cooperate, and I will trouble you more in the future."
Fudge looked even happier.
The Malfoy family, the top family in the British wizarding world. With their support, Fudge's voice in the Ministry of Magic will be further enhanced.
"Oh, what a wonderful fate, then I wish the two of you a happy cooperation. Of course, if there is any trouble, within the scope of my duties, I am willing to help you both."
Lucas smiled at Malfoy.
Then he took out a piece of parchment and said, "Minister Fudge, in fact, we are here today because we need your help."
"We have plans to buy 15 shops in Diagon Alley, 6 of which are owned by the Ministry of Magic, so..."
"Six shops? This..." Fudge gave Lucas a puzzled look.
This matter is very big, and he cannot solve it alone.
Lucas turned and shot a glance behind him at his subordinates who tactfully exited the office.
Then, a new magical document appeared in front of Fudge.
Madame Zabini also had a share in front of her.
"This is?" the two asked suspiciously.
Lucas explained with a smile: "Minister Fudge's agreement is a dividend agreement. As long as you sign it, you will get one percent of the benefits created by these 15 stores in the future."
"That's not good, I shouldn't..."
"Minister Fudge, don't worry, there are no strings attached to this agreement. If you are not at ease, we can still make an Unbreakable Vow."
For a moment Fudge couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing the other party lost in thought, Lucas looked at Mrs. Zabini again.
"Beautiful lady, your agreement is for us to buy 9 of your stores with shares, and you can also get a lot of dividends every year."
"I can assure you that the annual dividends must be more than the rent you charge, how about it?"
Mrs. Zabini signed the agreement without any hesitation which greatly surprised Lucas.
"What? Surprised?"
Seeing Lucas nod Mrs. Zabini smiled coquettishly, "It's just 9 shops, even if they are empty, it won't affect me, but I believe in you and I'm willing to take a gamble."
"Thank you very much for your trust, ma'am."
At this time, Fudge finished considering his decision and his greed won after all.
Watching the other party sign his name on the agreement, Lucas held out his hand and said, "Let's have a good cooperation, Minister Fudge."
[Congratulations to the host for completing a new achievement: Fudge's appreciation; rewards: 100 achievement points, a map of the Ministry of Magic.]
With the help of Minister Fudge the store procedures of Lucas and others went smoothly.
Taking advantage of the gap in the formalities.
Fudge also took Lucas on a tour of the Ministry of Magic.
