The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 237 Let's Talk (3000-word long chapter, please subscribe)

In the restaurant, Moriarty and his entourage sat in their usual seats around the table, eating in silence with their heads down.

Even Tonks, who loves to enjoy food, was unusually quiet, only poking at the Montreal smoked meat on his plate with his knife and fork.

Admittedly, Moriarty felt a sense of unease during this meal.

Seven beautiful women sat there, but apart from the clinking of knives, forks, and plates, there was no other sound on the table.

Even if there were other noises, they were from Tonks and Gemma.

Lilith, Diana, Lady Malfoy, and Fleur ate elegantly, maintaining their composure.

They glanced at each other from time to time, seemingly competing with each other in secret.

Lilith remained expressionless.

Diana gave a half-smile.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

Mrs. Malfoy stared at the food and ate very slowly.

Furong's face darkened, and she remained silent.

Penelope glanced at the four of them longingly, not daring to say anything, and lowered her head to pick at the meat pie.

The five girls and two women, each with their own unique charm, attracted the attention of most of the men in the restaurant.

As a result, Moriarty also received a lot of attention.

Moriarty noticed that many men looked at him with envy, jealousy, and anger.

Suddenly, Furong spoke coldly: "I think we need to talk!"

"Let's talk?" Moriarty thought Fleur was speaking to him and gave her a strange look. "Talk about what?"

To everyone's surprise, Diana put down her knife and fork, glanced at Mrs. Malfoy, and said, "I agree."

Mrs. Malfoy put the last piece of BC salmon into her mouth, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Tonks looked up from the plate of cream tarts, wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and said calmly, "It's time to talk."

Penelope and Gemma exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

Just as Moriarty was puzzled, the six women stood up in unison and exchanged glances.

"Let's go to Moriarty's room," Mrs. Malfoy scoffed. "He's got nothing better to do there anyway."

The women all glared at Moriarty, then simultaneously stepped away from the table.

Lilith, however, neither got up nor left the table.

"I'm not talking to you."

Lilith ate her gravy and cheese fries without a care in the world.

The Queen does not share the same man with other women.

The women ignored her when they saw her like this.

All we need to do is take Moriarty away; what good will it do for Lilith to stay here alone?

Tonks walked up to Moriarty first, hooked his arm around Moriarty's right hand.

"Come with us." Tonks pouted and pulled Moriarty up.

Not to be outdone, Fleur took Moriarty's left arm. Tonks' expression turned grim as he stared intently at Fleur for a few moments.

Lilith let out a sneer, and only then did the two women remember their common goal. They pulled and dragged Moriarty away.

Diana and Lady Malfoy exchanged a glance, and a powerful aura emanated from them.

They calmly strode off and followed.

"Ta-da..."

The sound of high heels and mid-calf boots on the floor was crisp and ethereal, as if stepping on people's hearts.

The entire restaurant fell silent as everyone listened quietly and watched Diana and Mrs. Malfoy depart.

Of the seven women, only Diana and Lady Malfoy were mature women.

She walks with her hips lifted and her abdomen tucked in, her waist swaying gently, and a reserved and polite smile on her face, yet her demeanor is completely different.

Diana, in her pure white gown, looked like an angel.

She exudes an inviolable holiness, and even when she smiles, her cold and beautiful face inspires awe.

Mrs. Malfoy, dressed in a black coat, was dignified, composed, and elegant.

Despite the pain of losing her husband, she possessed a unique charm; the strength in her eyes resembled a daffodil yearning to climb out of hell and keep growing.

It's hard to say who is more beautiful, or who is better.

Many men were mesmerized by it.

Penelope and Gemma swallowed hard, feeling a deep sense of inferiority.

Tonks is passionate and fiery, while Fleur is aloof and icy, and both can offer Moriarty strategic advice.

Diana and Madame Malfoy were both incredibly charming.

What makes them so appealing to Moriarty?

Lilith's snicker interrupted the two girls' thoughts.

"What are you standing there for, stunned?"

Penelope and Gemma looked at Lilith.

Lilith wiped her mouth, stood up, and walked in the opposite direction.

"If you can't maintain your confidence at all times, you've already lost this war from the very beginning."

Upon hearing this, Penelope and Gemma exchanged a glance, mustered their courage, and chased after Moriarty.

Lilith then left the restaurant, intending to explore Hyprose.

A short man followed behind Lilith.

Lilith was completely unaware of this; she was preoccupied with Moriarty.

The queen cannot accept sharing the same man with other women, so she must become stronger!

A sea breeze blew by, and Lilith brushed aside her long, wind-blown golden hair, which fell beside her face, revealing a warm smile.

A smile blossomed on her delicate face, creating beautiful ripples.

The short man who witnessed this was overcome with lust and approached Lilith.

He was very good at disguising himself, and solemnly bowed deeply to Lilith: "Beautiful lady, I am Kogoro Tsukamura."

After the finals, there will be a dance party organized by the organizers. I wonder if I would have the opportunity to invite you to be my dance partner?

"Tsukamura Kogoro...?"

Lilith seemed lost in thought. (The Japanese.)

Isn't that Moriarty's rival?

Lilith's gaze gradually turned cold.

Invite me?

You'd never even get a chance in your dreams!

Completely unaware that he had been labeled a "toad," Kogoro Tsukamura looked up at Lilith with eager eyes, his gaze revealing a perverted desire.

Lillian stared at him blankly for a while, as if looking at a comical clown.

She nodded in satisfaction only when a hint of anger appeared in Kogoro Tsukamura's eyes.

Kogoro Tsukamura was overjoyed, but before he could even imagine Lilith falling into his hands, a crisp voice shattered his fantasy.

"boring."

Lilith scoffed and turned to walk into the shopping street next to the restaurant.

"Baka..."

Kogoro Tsukamura watched the girl's retreating figure, his eyes cold and malicious as he said, "You enjoy playing me like this, don't you? I hope you don't fall into my hands..."

"Tsukamura!" the magician's voice rang out from behind, "What are you doing!"

"Hi!" Kogoro Tsukamura turned around, bowing and scraping, and said, "I ate too much and came out for a walk."

"Go back now, don't forget the finals are tomorrow," the magician patted Kogoro Tsukamura on the shoulder and lowered his voice, "and the boss's mission also needs your help."

Upon hearing "BOSS," Kogoro Tsukamura bowed deeply, his head almost touching his knees.

"Yes, Kogoro! Ready at a moment's notice!"

The magician nodded in satisfaction and left.

Kogoro Tsukamura followed behind with a respectful expression, Lilith's beautiful smile and laughter appearing in his mind.

"You ungrateful British girl... I'll send you to hell after the ball!"

At the same time, in Moriarty's room.

The six women moved the "battlefield" to Moriarty's bed.

The bed was big and soft, big enough for six people to sit in a circle.

Diana blushed after sitting down.

Last night, she and Moriarty were completely wild on this big bed.

Mrs. Malfoy, having been through it all, must know what that is.

She could only pray that Mrs. Malfoy hadn't seen it...

Mrs. Malfoy did not actually notice, but she sensed something.

Tonks, who had been alone with Moriarty, also sensed this, and she frowned.

The aunt and nephew both began to murmur amongst themselves.

Who was the woman who slept with Moriarty last night?

Diana pretended to be nonchalant, thus deceiving Tonks and Mrs. Malfoy.

Penelope and Gemma were completely ignored.

This caused their suspicious gazes to fall on Furong's face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Hibiscus said matter-of-factly. "I know I'm charming enough to attract you, but don't be too obvious. I don't want others to be jealous, thank you."

"Ha," Tonks sneered, launching an attack as if playing Quidditch, "You want to talk, huh? Talk then!"

"Alright, let's talk!" Hibiscus raised her face: "Talk about what?"

"You called everyone here just to ask us what we're going to talk about?" Mrs. Malfoy sneered.

"I only made a suggestion, I didn't ask you to agree." Hibiscus held her own against the two of them. "I thought that if you all agreed, you would say something new and refreshing, but it seems that it's just the same old thing."

Furong tossed her hair, looking on dismissively.

Well, they're still arguing when they get back!

Moriarty clicked his tongue, deciding he couldn't let them continue.

Penelope, sensing Moriarty's reaction, spoke first, "How about we play cards?"

"poker?"

Hibiscus and Tonks exchanged a glance.

Mrs. Malfoy had absolutely no idea what it was.

When she learned it was a Muggle card game, a look of disgust clearly appeared on her face.

"I object. Why should I play... poker with you? Ha, I only play Wizard Chess."

What Mrs. Malfoy objected to, Fleur was about to agree to: "Let's talk while playing cards, I think that's feasible."

"Okay, it's settled then." Penelope was eager to try; when it came to playing poker, she was better than Madame Malfoy and Diana.

Gemma thought so too and immediately agreed.

"Mrs. Malfoy, if you're not going to play, you can leave now."

Hibiscus looked at Mrs. Malfoy defiantly.

A mixed-race Enchantress is actually using Muggle games to look down on me?

Mrs. Malfoy trembled with anger and glared resentfully at Moriarty.

It's all your fault!

Tonks, still clinging to old friendships, kindly said to Mrs. Malfoy, "Don't go, I'll teach you."

Lady Malfoy was persuaded to stop; she was determined to defeat Fleur!

You want to defeat me?

Maybe in the next life!

Hibiscus smiled proudly, then looked at Diana.

"I wonder if Professor Diana would be so humble as to play poker with us?"

Diana ignored Fleur and instead gave Penelope a few deep looks.

She was probably wrong before; this little girl was the most formidable opponent.

On the surface, however, she curled the corners of her lips into a captivating smile, her expression alluring and meaningful.

"Since we're playing poker, there's bound to be a wager."

How about we bet... on the clothes?

The girls fell silent for a moment, then exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly flashing with fire.

"good!"

The women nodded seriously.

Moriarty was slightly taken aback.

This is... stripping... playing cards?

Okay~
