John slowly entered the living room.

Behind him were Alice and Michael.

The three of them were uniformly dressed in black dresses, which were also decorated with patterns made of emeralds and silk threads, giving people a mysterious and noble feeling.

"John! Come and sit over here." Voldemort greeted, "And Michael and Alice, please sit next to John."

John nodded, and followed the direction pointed by Voldemort, sitting first on the right side of the main seat.

This is the most distinguished position at the scene besides Voldemort's main seat.

Michael and Alice immediately sat next to John.

After they sat down, the atmosphere in the living room was different again.

All the die-hard Death Eaters, including Bella and Barty Jr., all showed kind and proud smiles to them.

A few of them were smiling and nodding subconsciously.

He looked very satisfied with John and his party.

This attitude is completely different from when Snape came before!

When Snape saw John.

A complicated look flashed across his eyes.

But the change in his eyes was quickly concealed by him, so that no one noticed it.

"John, I believe you have also seen that today, I invited Snape." Voldemort said with a half-smile, "Not long ago, he found me and said that he was always loyal to me and was eager to return to

My subordinates.

The various explanations he gave were very reasonable, so reasonable that even the most extreme opponents were speechless.

But I still have doubts.

John, you were a student at Hogwarts and received many years of education under Snape's management.

So now, please tell me, is Snape trustworthy?"

Hearing this, John and Snape both looked at each other.

Eye to eye.

Their expressions and eyes were as cold as ice.

It was as if the two of them didn't know each other before.

But the next moment, I heard John say calmly:

"Snape is trustworthy."

Voldemort nodded and said:

"So, can you use your own life as a guarantee for this?"

John said categorically:

"Of course, I do."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's ill will towards Snape obviously dissipated a lot.

Obviously, the Death Eaters were still more willing to believe John than Snape's well-founded excuses.

"Okay! Very good! In this case, I believe Snape." Voldemort opened his arms and said, "Come on, let us welcome the return of another companion!"

Applause immediately broke out in the living room.

However, this applause is quite sparse, and most of it is given by people like Lucius.

At this time, Draco was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

He never thought that John, whom he worried about day and night, would actually defect to the Dark Lord!

And judging from the current situation, John's status among the Death Eaters is not low!

Not only those Death Eaters, but even the Dark Lord wanted to consult him!

Draco was still praising Snape's wit just now, but he didn't expect that in the final analysis, it was because John was willing to vouch for Snape.

In the final analysis, John is still awesome!

Immediately, Draco thought of the attack on the Goblin Foundation some time ago.

Now it makes sense.

John must have asked the Dark Lord to attack the goblins.

John, truly worthy of being John!

He can always do things that ordinary people dare not think of, and do it to the best of his ability!

Of course the Dark Lord is not weak either!

I believe that under the leadership of the Dark Lord, they will soon rule the magical world, help John take revenge, and eliminate the goblins!

Thinking this, Draco's face turned red with excitement.

Just when Draco was thinking wildly, he heard Voldemort say again:

"Now it's time to get to the main point of this party. First of all, I have two guests to introduce to you! Bang -"

The crisp snap of fingers ended.

The door to the living room opened again.

A masked Death Eater walked in escorting two extremely weak people floating in the air.

Behind them, there was a big snake.

"Karkaroff, and Gibbon, these are our old friends."

Voldemort said softly.

The big snake Nagini had already climbed on his shoulder.

Karkaroff and Gibbon, who were escorted, were also controlled and hung upside down directly above the long table.

Only then did everyone see their faces clearly.

Karkaroff, now covered in bruises and filth, is no longer the same as he was when he was the headmaster of Durmstrang.

Next to him, Yoshimoto looked similarly embarrassed.

"They are all hateful traitors!"

Voldemort said loudly, "Gibbon, he did not hesitate to turn to the Ministry of Magic in the days after I disappeared, saying that... he was controlled by the [Imperius Curse]."

At this point, Voldemort glanced at Lucius with a half-smile, only to see Lucius sweating coldly, and then continued, "He contributed a lot of wealth to the family and said countless words to slander me, and then he saved his life."

own life.

Forget it.

The most critical part is that after receiving the summoning message I sent through the Black Demon Mark last time.

Instead of coming to gather, he actually fled to France!

This is a true traitor!

As for Karkaroff..."

Voldemort stroked the big snake Nagini's head and said, "He also didn't come to the gathering last time, and after I disappeared, he turned to the Ministry of Magic without hesitation.

However, the reason why he escaped being imprisoned in Azkaban was not because of any excuses or bribery of the Ministry of Magic.

What he really relies on is by betraying his companions!

Little Barty, one of my most loyal servants, was betrayed by him."

At this point, many Death Eaters were already furious.

Barty Jr. also recalled the scene when he was betrayed by Karkaroff and thrown into Azkaban by Barty Sr. in order to preserve his future.

His eyes were red and his teeth were clenched.

If the existence of Voldemort hadn't left him with a trace of sanity, he would have pounced on Karkaroff and bit him alive.

In this regard, Karkaroff and Gibbon did not react much.

From the time they came in until now, the two of them have never said a word begging for mercy, nor have they struggled.

Judging from the despair on their faces, they seemed to have accepted their fate.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk—”

Voldemort stood up and said, "Gibbon, I still remember your brother. He was a very outstanding Death Eater who died in a battle with Aurors more than ten years ago.

He once told me that you were a fool.

So he begged me to give you a chance when you do something stupid in the future...I agreed.

Today I will keep my promise.
To be continued...
