Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 14

“What is it?”

Leon knew that even if he explained, the three ministers wouldn’t believe him. These kinds of things only get worse the more you try to clarify them. It was better to directly ask their purpose for coming.

The three ministers looked at each other, and finally pushed forward the most courageous Minister of External Affairs, Alex Poole, to ask the question.

“Did Lord Moria take the Divine Gift?”

Alex Poole asked, mustering his courage.

Leon did not answer the question directly, but instead asked,

“If the Divine Gift is lost, what will be the impact on Green Shade Territory?”

“Of course there will be. Losing the Eye of the Future, Green Shade Territory will be unable to make correct decisions, unable to avoid danger, unable to control its own destiny.”

Head of Internal Affairs Karel Dennis said seriously.

“Yes, the Eye of the Future is as important as Green Shade Territory’s army. Both are crucial reliance for Green Shade Territory.”

The portly Minister of Finance Omari Hani added nervously.

Leon continued to ask,

“If that is the case, then why would Green Shade Territory still be in such huge debt?”

“That’s because Lord Moria was fond of pleasure and very generous to his mistresses. Half of the noble ladies in the city were Lord Moria’s lovers.”

Omari Hani couldn’t help but reveal a big secret.

Leon’s mouth twitched slightly, remembering old blond fox’s appearance with the IV drip. Could it be caused by excessive labor day and night?

“The Eye of the Future is not lost, but it has been borrowed.”

Leon said indifferently.

Anna and Annie also helped each other stand up. They couldn’t sleep in front of so many people; it was undignified.

They walked to Leon’s side and just happened to hear Leon’s words.

Borrowed?

“Borrowed?”

Alex Poole looked at Leon in confusion, “Lord Leon, who did he lend it to?”

“You’ll have to ask the old Lord. If anyone asks, just say the Eye of the Future was personally borrowed by the old Lord, but everyone doesn’t need to worry. The Eye of the Future will always belong to Green Shade Territory, and it will be returned when the other party is finished using it.”

Leon said.

The three ministers exchanged glances, clearly thinking this was a lie.

That is to say, the Eye of the Future was indeed taken away by Moria.

He actually abandoned Green Shade Territory to his illegitimate son and took all the jewels and the Eye of the Future himself! This was simply completely disregarding the fate of Green Shade Territory!

The three ministers cursed Moria in their hearts again and admired Leon from the bottom of their hearts.

Saying the Eye of the Future was borrowed was ten times better than saying it was stolen.

But would people accept this explanation?

If they didn’t even know who it was borrowed by, wouldn’t they lose credibility with the people?

Would the people of Green Shade Territory, especially those cunning wealthy individuals, suspect that Green Shade Territory had been abandoned by old Moria and also leave with their assets?

The three began to worry about this again.

“Lord Leon, I know who Lord Moria lent the Eye of the Future to.”

Anna’s gentle and pleasant voice sounded.

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Anna said calmly, “A very influential figure, but we cannot publicly announce his name.”

“Very influential? Cannot be announced? Could it be His Majesty the King?”

Head of Internal Affairs Karel Dennis couldn’t help but say excitedly.

Minister of Finance Omari Hani and Minister of External Affairs Alex Poole simultaneously echoed, “Is it His Majesty the King?”

Anna replied,

“Whether it’s His Majesty the King or not is not important. What’s important is that everyone knows it was borrowed by a figure more influential than the Lord. Green Shade Territory still possesses the Eye of the Future, its status will not change, and it will also receive protection from that mysterious influential figure. This way, Green Shade Territory will be safe, no one will leave because of this, and no one will come in because of this.”

The three ministers looked at the maid Anna, and suddenly looked at her with new eyes.

Truly worthy of being the maid Lord Moria left for Lord Leon; she must have been carefully selected.

Thinking this, they silently credited the morally compromised Moria for this.

Leon was also very satisfied with Anna’s suggestion, “Then let’s do that, Karel. Inform everyone about this tomorrow.”

“Lord Leon, Romiada is asking about tomorrow’s masquerade ball. Will you attend?”

“Of course, I will not miss any ball. Tell them not to worry and to host the ball as much as they like.”

Leon planned to become as friendly as possible with these people before Bank Emissary Emran arrived and to figure out their entries, identify their pain points, and then persuade them to become shareholders of the Green Shade Territory Bank. This way, the first installment of the debt could be repaid to the Imperial Bank on time.

Using their money to repay the Imperial Bank’s debt, then letting them borrow from the Imperial Bank to develop real estate, and then investing the earned money back into the Green Shade Territory Bank. By cycling like this, the Green Shade Territory Bank would not only be able to fully repay the Imperial Bank’s debt but also engage in lending activities to the middle class and commoners, allowing them to start businesses or consume, making the increase in subjects’ material production not just a dream!

Furthermore, these balls and banquets wouldn’t require him to spend money. He only needed to provide the venue. Such a wise idea could only be thought of by himself.

This was also largely thanks to old Moria’s extravagance and corruption, building the Lord’s Mansion no different from a castle. This was equivalent to the White House in the United States, open to the public for free. Of course, everyone was eager to come and visit.

After dismissing the three ministers, Leon returned to his bedroom with Miss Witch Sophie and maids Anna and Annie.

Anna and Annie had also recovered somewhat at this time and looked less tired.

Leon’s bedroom was large, far exceeding the luxury of a five-star hotel in later generations. The bedroom alone included a walk-in closet, a study area, a sitting area, a separate washroom, and a bathtub that could accommodate at least four people.

Of course, decent person Leon would not choose to discuss matters in the bathtub, even if it could comfortably fit all four of them.

Leon sat on the sofa in the sitting area, looking at the twin maids who had just been conquered by his charisma, and asked,

“How much do you know about the ‘Eye of the Future’?”

Compared to Miss Witch Sophie, Leon believed that spy Anna should know more.

That was indeed the case. Anna frankly said,

“‘Eye of the Future’ is the sixth Divine Gift discovered by the Empire and is named Sequence 6.

“Everyone believes that the Eye of the Future can only see the future, but in reality, its true function is not seeing the future, but changing the future.

“Among countless possible futures, choosing the one most suitable for oneself, that is the true function of the Eye of the Future.”

Anna said.

“If that’s the case, if you obtained the Eye of the Future, couldn’t you also change your own future?”

Leon asked.

Anna looked at Annie and continued,

“Theoretically, yes, but we cannot bear the price of using it.”

“What is the price?”
