Chapter 254 Lucius Malfoy
The atmosphere was tense at that moment.
Lucius Malfoy, instead of mocking others, was ridiculed for not being a man.
Enraged, he instinctively tried to teach the other person a lesson, but his hands were firmly held in place, rendering him unable to move.
At this moment, Lucius Malfoy was caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.
Even if he could break free from Sirius's control, whether he could actually defeat him was another question.
Retreat! What about the face we've lost tonight? When has the ancient Malfoy family ever suffered such a humiliation?
Just when Lucius Malfoy was in a dilemma, his wife Narcissa finally spoke up.
"Lucius, we don't need to get angry with someone like him, it's not worth it," Narcissa said slowly. "He may not care about his dignity, but we can't."
If Narcissa hadn't always maintained that arrogant and aloof expression, she would have been a very beautiful woman with her tall figure.
However, she always wore that look of disgust, as if she had smelled something unpleasant, and this look of disgust made her very uncomfortable to others.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Lucius Malfoy's gray eyes turned cold again.
He adopted a more friendly tone and said, "Sirius, now that you're out of Azkaban, live your life well and stop dwelling on the past."
Sirius chuckled coldly and said with amusement, "No way, we've finally met, I'm going to learn a lot from you—" He leaned to the side and looked at Narcissa behind him, "learning how to be a decent person."
Upon hearing this, Naxi Sha's already pale skin, which resembled that of a drowning person, became even paler, and her brows furrowed.
Narcissa Malfoy really couldn't understand why Belvina and Sirius were always picking on her husband.
"Looks like twelve years in prison haven't made you any smarter, Black," Lucius Malfoy said coldly. "You still haven't learned to read the room."
Sirius Black scoffed, "What's the point of judging the time or assessing the situation? The time is in my hands, and the situation is in my hands. On the contrary, you—" Sirius Black suddenly lowered his voice, "Do you really think that just because Voldemort is back, the world will be yours?"
Upon hearing the fearsome name "Voldemort," Lucius Malfoy shuddered violently.
"Your old master can't save you tonight," Sirius continued. "If you don't believe me, just look for yourself."
With that, Sirius released his grip on Lucius Malfoy.
Lucius stumbled backward from his knees, only managing to regain his balance with his wife's help.
The Malfoys looked around at the same time, and found that at least half of the people in the top-floor suite were staring at the family of three.
Some people were looking forward to the fight starting, as it would be a fun little entertainment before the finals; some were eager to try their luck, seemingly trying to take advantage of the chaos; and others were cracking their knuckles in anticipation of the fight.
The Malfoys then looked at the Weasleys, a large family already prepared for battle, including the youngest girl.
Bill, dressed in a bizarre outfit, stood up early, ready to jump out of his seat and join the fray at any moment; Charlie, like a nice guy, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular, muscular arms; the twins looked at Draco with ill intent and wicked grins.
Ron and Ginny, the youngest siblings of the Weasleys, were also sizing up the poor Malfoy.
Mr. Weasley is also holding his fists, and the rematch of the Diagon Alley boxing championship could start at any time.
Besides the Weasleys and Sirius, don't forget Belvina. She's all smiles with Cornelius Fudge right now, but if a fight breaks out, her position might be in jeopardy.
Thirteen against three, Sirius's side truly had the advantage. Lucius Malfoy could only suppress his anger and resentment, no matter how great they were.
Seeing that Lucius Malfoy was showing signs of backing down, Sirius Black not only didn't stop there, but instead intensified his efforts and pressed his advantage.
"Decent, what a joke," Sirius said dismissively. "A decent person doesn't ridicule others, a decent person doesn't lie and not take responsibility, a decent person isn't this incompetent."
It's clear that Sirius Black still wants to provoke Lucius Malfoy as much as possible, forcing Malfoy to act in anger.
If Malfoy dares to make a move, Sirius won't even need to lift a finger; Malfoy will inevitably face a righteous mob attack.
Unfortunately, their wishful thinking was destined to fail. The Malfoy family has always been known for its flexibility, and Lucius Malfoy is the most outstanding among them.
Just as Lucius Malfoy was thinking about how to end the argument gracefully, someone else offered him a way out.
"Dad, the game is about to start," Draco Malfoy said. "Aren't we here to watch the game tonight?"
Before Malfoy could even finish his sentence, Ludo Bagman burst into the box, his round face beaming with anticipation for the finals.
The Director of Sports spoke loudly, every syllable brimming with excitement, "Everyone's ready, Minister, may we begin the competition?"
With Ludo Bagman's unexpected rescue, the ladder Draco built for his father became sturdy and stable.
Taking advantage of the upcoming finals, Lucius Malfoy was able to make a graceful exit, saving himself from a beating.
However, Mr. Malfoy still didn't forget to say something harsh to prove that it wasn't that he was a coward, but that the Quidditch World Cup was more important than the conflict with Sirius.
"There's plenty of time, Blake. Let's take it slow and see what happens."
With that, Lucius Malfoy flicked his sleeves, grabbed his wife and son, and left, as if he were the victor.
"What kind of person is he, stirring up trouble and then running away!" Sirius said contemptuously. "And he still looks down on this and that. He's the most useless one in his group."
"We still need to be careful that he doesn't seek revenge; the Malfoys are all very cunning," Mr. Weasley said. "He's the kind of person who has no real skills, but he's good at tripping people up."
Sirius Black turned his head and looked at Mr. Weasley reproachfully, saying with dissatisfaction, "Although I don't like my origins, I'm still a Black. He can't just pile gold coins on me, can he?"
Mr. Weasley slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot, you're the heir to the Black family."
Even so, Mr. Weasley still reminded Sirius to be careful of Lucius Malfoy's underhanded tricks.
"Two years ago, that Malfoy guy almost killed my daughter Ginny," Mr. Weasley said. "Thanks to Belvina's help, otherwise that guy would have succeeded."
"Is that so? Belvina didn't mention it to me!" Sirius said. "Don't worry, I'll avenge you."
He casually put his arm around Mr. Weasley's shoulder and said, "You're an official in the Ministry of Magic, so there are some things you can't do, but it's okay, I'll help you!"
Sirius Black's boosting service has officially launched.
Over there, Ludo Bagman drew his wand and pointed it at his throat. Amplified by the amplification charm, his words thundered like lightning.
The sound echoed throughout the packed stadium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! Welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup!"
Applause and cheers immediately erupted, thousands of flags waved in unison, and the bright but noisy national anthem echoed through the stadium.
At this moment, Belvina also temporarily stopped working and quietly returned to her seat.
"What just happened?" she whispered to Sirius beside her. "Did Lucius cause trouble again?"
Sirius nodded and replied, "Yeah, that spineless coward has no guts at all. He was scared off with just a few words."
"He did fight with me once," Belvina chuckled.
"Oh ho, I didn't know he had this guts!" Sirius said contemptuously.
Belvina thought for a moment and said, "He probably thought I was a woman and young, so he didn't take me seriously."
"He finally mustered up the courage to be brave for once, and then he ran into a jinx like you. He's really unlucky."
"He's done many brave things; I'll tell you all about them after the competition."
Just as the brother and sister were whispering to each other, Bulgaria's mascots appeared, a full one hundred Veela gliding onto the field.
Veela are magical creatures classified as "human" by the Ministry of Magic. Their most striking characteristic is their breathtaking beauty, which grants them captivating abilities.
As a hundred Veelas danced under the lights, everyone in the stadium was captivated, eager to display their "masculinity" in order to win the heart of the most beautiful woman in the world.
Young people like Harry, Ron, and the twins went completely mad, with Harry and Ron even wanting to jump out of the box to show how amazing they were.
Fortunately, Belvina returned and carried the two crazed teenagers back to their seats, one in each arm.
Then, Belvina slapped each of them across the neck, waking Sirius, Bill, Charlie, and the others up one after another.
Of the group, only Remus Lupin remained obediently in his chair. It wasn't that Veela didn't appeal to him, but rather that he was too weak to exert any strength.
After the Veela finished their mesmerizing dance, the crowd in the stadium, who had been caught up in a frenzy, finally came to their senses and stopped thinking about how to show their masculinity.
However, people still expressed their dissatisfaction with angry roars, hoping that the Veela's dance would never end.
Belvina rolled her eyes in disdain. You guys aren't the top donors, yet you expect Veela to keep dancing? You're dreaming.
Following Bulgaria's Veeva mascot, Ireland's lemur mascot also made its appearance.
The goblins are about 6 inches tall and are entirely green. They are not as captivating as the Veela, but the goblins still drive people crazy.
Golden rain fell on the stadium, and a giant clover made of goblins hovered in the air, constantly scattering gleaming gold coins at the crowd.
During the foggy time, people began to scramble for the gold coins that Little Star had scattered. Some jumped high into the air, while others crawled under their seats, everyone wanting to grab as many coins as possible.
It seemed that only in this way could they become the Veela's top supporters and keep her dancing.
However, the coins scattered by the Irish goblins are not real Galleons; they disappear after a few hours.
Creating special gold coins to attract greedy humans and enjoying their expressions as the coins disappear is the Irish goblin's favorite prank.
The giant clover disappeared, everyone in the stadium grabbed a lot of gold coins, and the 1994 Quidditch World Cup Grand Final finally began.
