"Still can't find anyone?"
Lucius Malfoy's voice was cold, and his eyes were filled with undisguised anger. He stared coldly at Peter Pettigrew, wishing he could just pull out his wand and teach the loser in front of him a lesson.
Peter Pettigrew is such a loser that he can't even find someone.
"You can't really blame me for this." Peter Pettigrew was still trying to defend himself. "Reporters from the Spanish Ministry of Magic all wanted to interview him, but no one knew where his temporary whereabouts were. Besides, we just got here and have been here for too short a time. The methods you mentioned don't work at all."
Peter had been busy for quite some time. It was really not his problem that he couldn't find the Mudblood's residence!
“… Trash!”
Lucius Malfoy was so angry that he gritted his teeth and pointed his wand at Peter tremblingly, accidentally shooting out a spark that burned Peter's clothes.
"It's really not our fault. The plan was too rushed. We didn't even understand the current situation, let alone make a plan." Selwyn also tried to defend himself. He didn't want to take the blame at all.
The fact that Lucius Malfoy was unable to complete the Dark Lord's mission didn't just prove that the two of them were too useless, but that the enemy was too difficult to deal with.
"The language barrier is also a big problem," muttered Peter Pettigrew.
The best way at the moment is to find the place where the mudblood is temporarily living, then secretly lead people to sneak into his temporary residence, kill him in the temporary residence, and then pat your butt and leave Spain, and the mission will be completed.
Although this method is simple and crude, it is undoubtedly the best solution that can be thought of at present, but... the problem now is that they can't find the temporary residence of the mudblood, and no one knows where he lives.
If the simplest and most effective method doesn't work, you have to find another way.
According to the idea, since they couldn't find where Albert was hiding, they could only ambush him at the competition site. As long as Albert was still planning to continue to participate in the International Wizard Duel Tournament, he would eventually show up at the competition site. As long as he showed up, their chance would come.
However, there are many Aurors responsible for maintaining order at the duel competition, so it is a bit difficult to assassinate a contestant.
Unless... there's a desperate suicide attack.
However, they had no idea when Albert would appear, and the contestants and the audience would not have much contact, so the probability of success of this so-called assassination plan was still not high.
"I think we should ambush him on the day of the finals," Peter Pettigrew suggested, "so that we have more time to make arrangements..."
"What if the mudblood loses the game, or simply decides not to participate on the third day?" Lucius Malfoy asked, "Didn't you listen to Severus? Dumbledore could persuade him to give up the game at any time."
Malfoy didn't know Albert, and the wizards who dared to participate in the International Wizarding Duel Tournament were all strong. What's more, there was Dumbledore. He felt that there was a high probability that the Mudblood would be persuaded by Dumbledore.
That old man is really good at persuading others.
"I don't think he can lose." Peter Pettigrew muttered softly.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Peter Pettigrew believed that Albert had a chance to win the duel tournament. Even if the opponent used conspiracy to defeat Barty Jr., a guy who could subdue a fire dragon alone would not be a weakling in any case.
At least, Peter Pettigrew thought that no one in their group could do it alone, and it was hard to say whether they had the courage to do so.
"We need more help." Selwyn suddenly suggested, "Spain is too unfamiliar to us. We need to contact the local dark wizards and see if we can recruit them. Maybe they will be interested in the Dark Lord. Or, let them serve us and hire them for some Galleons when necessary."
"You handle this matter. It'd be best if you can get it done within half an hour." Lucius Malfoy stared at Selwyn for a while, and finally agreed to his plan. "It would be best to find a local who can speak English to help us. It can save us a lot of trouble. You can pay him 50, no 100 Galleons a day."
Malfoy suspected that Selwyn had actually found someone and just wanted to get some funds from him, so he didn't really care.
They had just arrived in Spain and had no time to collect intelligence. Now they were completely blind, so he simply agreed to let Selwyn find the local bosses to cooperate with him and offered a "large sum of money".
As long as the other party is worth the price, Malfoy doesn't mind those few Galleons. What does a few Galleons mean if he can help them complete the task
Hello, I'm fine, hello everyone.
If it's not worth it, just let the other person disappear from the face of the earth.
In fact, Lucius Malfoy also wanted to pay money and offer a reward for Albert's head on the black market, but he felt that this approach was not very reliable, at least there was no possibility of success in the short term.
"If you ask me, don't bother yourself with that. Find a way to sneak into the stadium, and then find a chance to use Avada Kedavra on that Mudblood," Peter suggested before Selwyn left.
Simple proposal.
As for the plan failing
Malfoy is in charge of this matter. What does it have to do with them if it fails
At most you will be punished.
In fact, neither Selwyn nor Peter wanted to continue to cause trouble for Albert, because various events showed that the guy was more difficult to deal with than expected.
"Who's going to assassinate him? Are you going?"
Lucius Malfoy saw through the two people's little tricks at a glance and sneered, "What about tickets? I just asked someone and they are all sold out. Even if I want to find someone to buy them, the price is not cheap, and it's not certain whether I can get a front row seat."
This bad idea will never succeed and will only expose their purpose and alert the enemy.
In other words, they don't expect to succeed at all.
"We can let those dark wizards assassinate him and give him a sum of Galleons." Peter said without hesitation: "When the time comes, we will help create chaos and let that guy escape using the portkey."
"Creating chaos, that sounds good to you!" Malfoy's facial expression was almost distorted. He had inquired about it, and knew that the security of the annual International Wizarding Duel Tournament was very tight, and there were also a large number of Aurors patrolling. It was not that easy to create chaos.
These guys are taking it for granted!
Moreover, there is only one chance to do this. If you fail, it will never come back again.
Lucius Malfoy suddenly understood why Selwyn and Peter Pettigrew had failed before.
"It would be damned if this could succeed."
"What's your idea?"
Selwyn and Peter Pettigrew both looked at Malfoy and stopped expressing their opinions.
"Wait for news first. If we are lucky enough, Avery may be able to bring us good news. Also, go find your local boss. We need more help." Malfoy was very annoyed. These guys were more unreliable than each other.
Avery was equally unreliable and did not bring them any good news.
The guys that Selwyn paid for were more reliable, as they revealed where the other contestants and spectators were staying: Barnabus Bar.
Well, it was no secret to the wizards who had settled in Spain that foreign customers liked to stay at Barnabus because it was clean and safe.
"If we disguise ourselves as contestants and sneak in, we may not be able to meet that Mudblood." Avery disagreed with this unreliable approach, "Besides, I doubt we can defeat him in a duel."
He had heard about Barty Crouch Jr.'s deeds from Snape.
"What I mean is that we can use the Imperius Curse to control them and let them use Avada Kedavra on the Mudblood. Although the chance of failure is also very high, at least... we can kill him. Anyway, our mission is to kill the Mudblood." Goyle's suggestion was equally unreliable. In fact, if Malfoy hadn't asked him to tell him his suggestion, he wouldn't have wanted to speak at all.
"We can go together. After all, it doesn't seem strange if a dark wizard suddenly kills someone." Crabbe also felt that it would be better to keep the plan simple so as to avoid accidents.
As long as they killed the Mudblood, they didn't care how the process happened, as long as they were not the one being sacrificed.
"We'd better make some preparations." Malfoy agreed, "But I think the Imperius Curse is very unreliable. Generally, wizards who can come to participate in the duel competition are not weak, especially those dark wizards. If you want to control a dark wizard..."
After discussion among everyone, an assassination plan was finally decided, mainly because time was running out.
At this moment, Lucius Malfoy felt that he must be crazy for agreeing to such an unreliable plan.
A group of people went to Barnabus Bar in batches to look for their target.
The plan was not successful. It can only be said that none of the dark wizards who dared to participate in the duel competition were simple people. At least they were very good at saving their lives.
When Malfoy and his gang broke into the room and tried to subdue the other party, a scuffle broke out between the two sides. A big hole was blown in the wall of the guest room, and there was a lot of noise. Two people on Malfoy's side were knocked down, and finally they could only escape in embarrassment before others surrounded them.
However, the strangest thing is that the plan did not completely fail.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the chaos created by Malfoy and others, Peter Pettigrew secretly controlled a contestant.
All I can say is that Peter Pettigrew has done a lot of things like this over the years.
Although he is not a dark wizard, it is better than nothing.
It can be considered as a successful attempt to save the last bit of face.
"I think this guy is resisting my Imperius Curse." Peter Pettigrew stared at the middle-aged wizard in front of him and reminded his companions, "We can't let him go to the competition like this, otherwise our plan will most likely fail..."
Peter didn't say the rest, but the meaning was clear. It would be best to find someone to disguise themselves as him and sneak in to attack Anderson."
"No one wants to take the risk," Malfoy sneered, "Why don't you go."
"You can offer a reward in Galleons, or have him carry a portkey. After he succeeds, he can use the portkey with the scheduled time to escape." Peter gave Malfoy an idea. Anyway, he would never take the risk.
This was the method thought up by Barty Crouch Jr. It was said that this was how Potter escaped from the Dark Lord's nose, and his success rate was obviously not low.
Finally, there was a greedy fool who was willing to take the risk to assassinate the Mudblood, but he offered a high price of 5,000 Galleons for his life, and he had to take half of it first.
Malfoy eventually pushed the price down to 3,000 Galleons. After all, it was risking one's life, and regardless of success or failure, the chances of getting the money were slim."
Of course, compared to the price the Dark Lord paid to bribe the giants, three thousand Galleons was very cheap. At least the probability of the plan's success was not low.
…
At the same time, members of the Order of the Phoenix were also taking action. They received news from Snape not long ago and hurried to Spain to try to stop the Death Eaters from murdering Albert.
With the help of Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix managed to get three tickets.
"Mr. Anderson, are you really not going to give up?"
Kingsley's face was gloomy. He didn't understand why Albert was so stubborn. Wasn't his life important
"He told us not to worry, saying that he predicted winning the duel tournament." Lupin gave a wry smile to the others in the room.
"I don't think we need to worry about him at all. By the way, who wants to place a bet?" Sirius reminded with a smile, "This is a good opportunity to make a lot of money."
"What good opportunity?" Arthur thought he had misheard.
"Stop it, Sirius," Lupin said, frowning.
"Of course it's to defeat Albert and win the duel championship!" Sirius said as a matter of course.
"Sirius." Mad-Eye stared at Black.
"Who is kidding you?" Sirius curled his lips and said, "Albert cherishes life more than you do. How could he risk his life? Since he dares to participate in the duel competition, he must be confident in self-protection. I dare say that even without our help, he can still deal with all the troubles, otherwise he would have run away long ago. Do you really think he will stay and die?"
Sirius was of course confident, because Albert had just asked the house-elf to send him 1,500 Galleons, asking him to help bet on him to win the final championship.
As a reward for suppressing him, Albert told him that Peter Pettigrew was also in Spain, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity to deal with Peter Pettigrew.
"You seem to know him well," Tonks asked curiously.
"I don't know him very well, but I have worked with him before. He is more cunning than you think."
"Who's going?"
"I'll forget it. Let Tonks and Kingsley go," Sirius said quickly. "They are Aurors. They must be better at disguise."
"Lupin, come with me, we can go and trouble the Death Eaters."
"Do you know where the Death Eaters are?" Mad-Eye looked at Sirius suspiciously.
"I don't know, but I know where Peter is." Sirius smiled brightly, and the people around him felt a chill. They could sense the cold murderous intent from Sirius' smile. "I think he must be with the Death Eaters. If we are lucky enough, we may be able to deal with that rat. Don't stop me from killing him this time."
