Chapter 188 187 Brothers Conversation
"Nowadays, I don't know exactly what the family's industries are, but the Black family is involved in most of the profitable industries. Secondly, the family now has a house-elf fighting force with amazing combat power. A werewolf fighting force, brave and not afraid of death,"
"You haven't come out before, so you don't know. In the same year, a descendant of the Flint family was instigated by a direct member of the Rich family to provoke me. Therefore, I launched a family war. Now, the Flint family exists in name only. , there is only one family left, and no descendants.”
"Oh, by the way, the vampires have also had civil strife in the past few years, causing chaos in the magic world. They kidnapped me once the year before last. Although it was nothing serious, the main mission of the Black family's fighting force in the past two years has been It is to combat and retaliate against the vampire clan,"
Speaking of this, Feeney snapped his fingers and said,
"Kreacher bring the family's ledger and show it to Sirius."
Then he said to Sirius,
"For details, you should check the account books yourself,"
Looking at Kreacher handing him the account book, Sirius was shocked, because at this time Kreacher was wearing a very decent shirt, trousers, and even a top hat on his head. If it weren't for him, he would still be a domestic child. With the elf's appearance, Sirius would even think it was a wizard with enough assets and status.
And what surprised him was officially this. You know, giving clothes to house elves by wizards means expelling them. However, Kreacher is still here, calling him eldest son. This is what makes him The most surprising and strange place,
When Feeney saw his expression, he thought of the doubts in his heart, smiled and explained,
"At that time, I was too young to go out to negotiate various cooperations or handle other business. Most of them were done by Kreacher for me. If he was still dressed as a house elf, he would definitely not be as good as me. I wanted the effect, so I asked him to change into a set of clothes. Because they were all made by him or other house elves, they were not given by me, and the clothes also had the Black family crest on them, so there was no need. Worry."
Sirius nodded. He understood Finny's explanation, but he had no good impression of this house elf who had the same pure-blood family philosophy as his mother.
Finny looked at Sirius and said,
"You are older than me, and you are also the eldest son. Now that you are back, you will definitely inherit the family. However, if you let me give up like this, I will not be willing to do it. After all, I earn everything in the Black family now. Coming back,"
Sirius nodded and said,
"I have no intention of inheriting the family, so you don't have to worry,"
Feeney shook his head and said,
"It's not something you think about or not, others will definitely force you to inherit it,"
Sirius was stunned, but only for a moment. He has never been a fool, otherwise he would not have mastered such difficult magic as Animagus in the third grade, so he thought of what Feeney meant. ,
It was precisely because he understood what Feeney meant that he was shocked and stunned.
"What have you done? To make other families so fearful? I was still wondering before, when I was in Azkaban and you were the only one in the Black family, why were you the heir to the Black family and not the head of the Black family? Now, Thinking about it, it was also caused by their pressure, right?"
Feeney nodded and said,
"Yes, they did not allow me to officially become the head of the family on the grounds that I was underage and could not bear the important responsibilities of the family, so I was unable to participate in the consular meetings of the Presbyterian Church,"
"Now that you are back, they will definitely take this opportunity to make you the head of the family, so that they can deprive me of the power to control the Black family. After all, they just couldn't find a suitable reason not to let me control their own family before, so they It only deprived me of my right to participate in consular meetings.”
Feeney's words were full of ridicule and contempt. Obviously, he really looked down on those wizards who did not dare to confront him and only dared to use these incompetent excuses to restrict him, and even put them in his eyes. Feeney They all felt it was an insult to themselves.
Sirius nodded and said,
"Although I don't know what you did, but to make them so afraid, it must involve their fundamental interests. After thinking about it, the only ones who can influence the Presbyterian Church are the Rich family, right?"
Feeney nodded,
"Their family naturally got involved. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to exert my influence in the Presbyterian Church for so many years."
Sirius thought for a moment and then said,
"So, you want me to help you?"
Feeney shook his head and said,
"The name of the head of the Black family is actually of no use in itself. I think you think so too. No matter you inherit the family or I inherit the family, I will not drive away the other party or ignore the other party at all."
Sirius nodded and said,
"That's inevitable. After all, I still owe you something these years. If I hadn't run away from home and been expelled from the family by my mother, maybe it would be a different situation now, or maybe I resisted back then. , I argued, if you hadn’t entered Azkaban, you wouldn’t have been supporting your family against them for more than ten years.”
Feeney waved his hand and said,
"These are all small things. Haven't I not rescued you for more than ten years? Although there is resentment, but more importantly, I want to leave another way."
Sirius looked at Finny and said,
"You want to use me as bait,"
Finny looked at Sirius and remained silent. After a moment, he laughed and asked,
"How did you guess that? After all, that plan was not implemented,"
Sirius said,
"Just when you said you haven't saved me for more than ten years, I thought about it. You already knew that Peter Pettigrew was at the Weasley family. That is to say, if you want to let me out at any time, you can change yourself by other people. The family is targeting the situation, but you are not, so you have some calculations in this."
Feeney nodded, took a sip of the black tea in front of him, and said calmly,
"Yes, I have a plan,"
Sirius leaned back on the chair and said,
"Tell me about it?"
Feeney nodded,
"Since both of you have come out, this plan won't work anymore, so let me talk to you."
"First of all, while you are in Azkaban, if something happens to me and I am attacked by someone from another family, or die for any other reason, the heritage of the Black family will still be protected by the Council of Elders until you die, or It's you who come out."
