Chapter 2349 Fetters
"Harry Potter and the Book of Sin ()"
"Yes, Patriarch... Well, I mean, 'Old Man' wants you to go back...You know, my Brandt family is facing tremendous pressure now, as an outstanding member of the family, don't you Shouldn't you go back and overcome this difficulty with our family..."
Yes, the Brandts are coming.
Or maybe it could be more accurate, it was Erich's uncle who came - the old guy who brought a group of family wizards and forcibly separated De Quinn and Erich.
To be honest, De Quinn will probably remember this guy's appearance firmly in her life, and that vitriolic appearance has already been deeply imprinted in her soul.
However, the other party seemed to ignore De Quinn's existence at all, and just stood in front of the desk, talking face to face with Erich sitting behind the desk.
"Erich, I know you can't forgive me for what I did to you. But it doesn't matter, because I don't need your forgiveness-you can hate me for the rest of your life! However, this has nothing to do with the entire Brandt family But it has nothing to do with my life... You can go back and fight to save your home and protect your parents, brothers and sisters while hating me personally, can't you?"
"Hmph... I've said so much, why don't you give me an answer?"
After so many years, Erich only felt that this guy was still arrogant and disgusting.
Since his father, Edward, was the designated first heir of the Brandt family, he had to deal with a lot of things every day at the request of the old Patriarch, so the old guy in front of him was usually the one who was in charge of disciplining Erich. And under the strict control of the other party, since he was a child, Erich often only pursed his paper-thin lips and remained silent when facing him.
That's right, even when he was the Minister of Magic in the German Ministry of Magic, his essence was not much different from the past.
Until now, Erich thought that with the help of Hermione and the others, he was finally free from the constraints of this guy in front of him. But the facts have proved that the Brandt family is a wizard family that is still on the rise after all, and it is completely different from Sirius, who was lucky enough to escape from the Black family early on.
It is not so easy to abandon one's own origin and the bondage of family affection!
For example, now, when the other party comes to the door in person like in the past, what can Erich do?
"What answer do you want?" After a long silence, Erich raised his head and stared at the other party across the desk, and said coldly, "Or, what answer do you want, and I have to give you the answer? My uncle ...Could it be that you came here just to take me home? It's just for me alone, it might be too much trouble, right? "
While saying this, he glanced at his head for a while, and glanced at the door of the office - outside the closed door, there were still two family wizards of the Brandt family standing, and facing each other Erich, who is very familiar with this scene, believes that there must be at least twenty so-called "entourages" in the hall on the first floor of the Belgian Ministry of Magic at this moment.
My uncle has always been like this, probably because he knows in his heart that his bad temper will always offend people, so he is always extra cautious, and he will bring a group of people with him wherever he goes.
"It took a lot of trouble?" Hearing Erich's sarcasm, the other party just twitched the corner of his mouth, "Hmph, who these days treats the Belgian Ministry of Magic as their own home, staying inside all day without showing their faces? You still blame me for taking so much trouble?"
After mocking in reverse, he shook his head again, and said lightly:
"As I said just now, putting aside personal grievances for the time being, I am here to take you back. But... you are not the only one who wants to take you back. In fact... And you-"
As he said this, he turned his head abruptly, and for the first time sent his gaze to Ms. De Quin who had been sitting on the sofa beside him from the very beginning.
Caught off guard for a moment, De Quin couldn't help being stunned and forgot to speak for a while.
Of course, the other party didn't seem to want to hear what she had to say.
"What's it called... 'Emily DeQuinne'? Yes, I remember you, we've met more than once... Erich, do you hear me? This time You can take her back too—the 'grandfather' said he wanted to see her."
The other party's words were really unexpected, and even Erich didn't react for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he said with a look of doubt and vigilance:
"What? Why? So far..."
"'Belgian Minister of Magic'—this identity is enough to be recognized by the old man, it's as simple as that." Cooperate with Sim, as the vanguard of fighting against the living corpses, use your family's power to resist the enemy's invasion. Under such a big situation, even the Bulova family is willing to extend a hand of friendship to us, and you have to hold your own personal grudges When are you hiding?"
Having said that, he spread his hands again and added:
"What's more, through the hands of the two of you, the Belgian Ministry of Magic and my Brandt family can establish a common front to a certain extent-although it will be a matter of time, maybe a few days sooner, you What do you think?"
At the end, the other party didn't seem to want to cover up any more, and clearly put their interests on the table.
Yes, Erich is of course very clear that the Brandt family is this kind of family whose interests are paramount. Although it is easy to attract people's disgust, compared with some hypocrites who are used to covering up, this kind of real villain may not be the most unbearable type at least.
Ok! At least Erich obviously didn't like this feeling.
"No, I won't go back, and it's even more impossible to bring Emily back too! You just have to die!" He frowned and said, "As for how you should deal with business when you go back, it's not my business." gone."
"Hmph, it's a trivial matter that I can't pay the errand. After all, this is not a task specially assigned to me by the old man. Erich, do you know who asked me to come to you? Actually... It was Edward! Now you understand? "
"Father?"
When Erich knew that the person who opened this mouth was actually his father who didn't pay much attention to him since he was a child, he was really surprised.
Since the last time he met his father, he thought that his father must have completely given up on himself as an "unfilial son". As a result... the relationship between himself and the family seems to be far from being completely severed.
