Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 20

A new moon hung in the pure night sky.

The cold moonlight spilled onto the high wall of Green Shade Territory, also shining on the young Lord, giving his splendid formal wear a faint silver edge. Combined with his confident smile, he looked even more handsome.

Meanwhile, the breathtakingly beautiful silver-haired young girl beside him showed a confused expression,

“I didn’t help you much.”

“No, if not for you, I wouldn’t have thought of patrolling the high wall, wouldn’t have had a sudden idea because there were no railings, wouldn’t have invited the nobles to the high wall to see the scenery, and even more, wouldn’t have gotten them to sign the subscription agreement in advance. I would probably still be participating in their boring balls, being forced to drink.”

Leon said with a smile, “And, you also saved those noble ladies who fell. That’s very important.”

Sophie was stunned for a moment. She had always known she was useful, but she hadn’t expected to be this useful.

This made her a little happy.

But she still didn’t show it.

The habit of being expressionless couldn’t be changed overnight.

Anna looked at the interaction between the two, her eyes gentle, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

Annie understood her sister very well. Whenever she showed this expression, it meant she had set her eyes on a beloved toy.

She wanted to snatch it.

Compared to her rebellious and slightly naive younger sister Annie, Anna’s personality was much more complex. She liked to test the boundaries of morality, defy traditional morals, and found pleasure in taking away what others cherished.

As for Annie, she simply didn’t want to be an assassin; she wanted to be a top seamstress.

Of course, if you asked her to be a full-time top seamstress, she might then want to be a top chef.

She was naturally rebellious and disliked taking orders from others.

Leon handed all the subscription agreements to the portly Minister of Finance, Omari Hani, “Send someone to the nobles’ courtyards to collect the money by tomorrow at the latest.”

“Lord Leon, this way we have solved the first loan payment to the Imperial Bank!”

Omari Hani said excitedly.

“No, this money is not for repaying the Imperial Bank. This money is the startup fund for the new bank.”

Leon said, “Only by building the bank can money flow in continuously. And there are still two-thirds of the nobles and wealthy merchants. I need to attract them to bring all the gold coins they have stored at home to the bank.”

“That’s simple, we can kidnap their wives and force them to deposit money.”

Annie said calmly, as if she was describing a realistic and feasible method.

“That’s a good idea, but I have a better one.”

Leon said, “Let them see the benefits. The more they deposit, the higher the interest rate, the higher the return, and they can also receive additional gifts, having the opportunity to invite me, the new Lord, to their mansion for dinner, how about that?”

“That is indeed very tempting. Lord Leon is young and handsome, with neither a fiancée nor mistresses. The nobles should want to marry their daughters to you, and subsequently gain more benefits in Green Shade Territory by using the Lord’s name.”

Karel Dennis stroked his sharply pointed chin and said seriously.

Leon waved his hand, “I am not doing this just to marry a rich and beautiful wife.”

“Do you not have this intention?”

Anna asked.

I am doing this to find the 【Spy】 hidden in Green Shade Territory.

“It’s not impossible, after all, every man desires to have many wives and concubines. Don’t worry, I will be more restrained than my father Moria, I will definitely not marry that many.”

Leon said.

“You are truly honest.”

Omari Hani suddenly wanted to introduce his beautiful daughter who had been married three times, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the Minister of External Affairs, Alex Poole, who came up the high wall on the pulley lift.

“Lord Leon, Bank Emissary Mr. Emran has returned.”

The shota-like Alex Poole, with black hair and amber eyes, said breathlessly.

Clearly, he had just received the news and immediately rushed to find Leon.

“He’s back so quickly?”

It seemed Mr. Emran truly didn’t want to miss out on this immense wealth.

Leon stood up from the sofa. Anna thoughtfully supported him to prevent him from losing composure due to heights.

“Thank you, Anna. Let’s go, let’s go meet an old friend together.”

Leon led everyone to take the pulley lift down from the high wall, boarded the luxurious carriage, and returned from the outer city to the inner city.

The outer city market was quite lively at night. The subjects were all enthusiastically greeting Leon.

Because Leon had treated them to a free aerial performance.

Most of the people who fell from the high wall were still beautiful noble ladies.

The subjects watched with great enjoyment, especially when their puffy skirts flew up, revealing pale white thighs and absolutely private areas.

It was very clear from below.

It was also the first time the commoners knew the secrets of the noble ladies.

Leon also responded to them enthusiastically. Seeing them strong and healthy, all at the age of starting families and careers, Leon showed a gratified expression. Weren’t these the group with essential needs?

Leon returned to the splendid Lord’s Mansion. Bank Emissary Mr. Emran was already waiting in the reception hall.

Mr. Emran still had three bodyguards with him, but this time the debt collection army did not accompany him.

He brought the documents from the Imperial Bank; it was the installment repayment contract.

Seeing Leon appear surrounded by the two maids and three ministers, with the Ice Witch also by his side, Emran stood up, walked forward, and respectfully saluted Leon,

“Esteemed Lord, I apologize for keeping you waiting.”

“I should be saying that. It was my oversight. I spent some time attending a banquet today. Mr. Emran didn’t wait long, did he?”

Leon asked with a smile.

Emran shook his head.

Leon invited Emran to sit down together.

Emran handed the document to Leon, “The Imperial Bank has agreed to your proposal. Green Shade Territory’s debt can be repaid in installments.”

“You worked hard, Mr. Emran. I know you must have put in a lot of effort to persuade those stubborn great nobles.”

Leon said with a smile. Anna once again brewed two cups of Green Shade Territory’s special blend coffee for the two of them.

This time, Emran proactively picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and praised, “Truly worthy of Green Shade Territory’s coffee, the flavor is rich.”

“I’m glad you like it.”

Leon looked at the Minister of Finance, Omari Hani. Omari Hani presented a document and handed it to Emran.

“This is the employment contract for the Green Shade Territory Bank. You can have one month to deal with the Imperial Bank’s matters. After a month, you will need to officially assume your post. Do you have any issues?”

“Alright.”

Emran opened the document, looked at the contents, took out a round-bodied steel pen from his left jacket pocket, and directly signed his name.

“Pleasure working with you, Lord Leon.”

“Pleasure working with you, Mr. Emran.”

The two jointly signed the document, and shook hands.

Their eyes met, showing mutual appreciation, as if saying, we both have a bright future.
