Miss Witch, It's Time to Clean Up the Entries - Chapter 6

“Since Lord Oba is in a hurry to return, I won’t keep you either. Have a good journey, Lord Oba.”

Oba sneered and left in his carriage.

In Oba’s view, even if Sophie was not losing control now, she was not far from it, after all, she had served for 6 years.

Sophie didn’t understand why Leon was lying, but directly taking off the collar around her neck and the bracelets and foot chains was reckless. What if her magic suddenly went out of control?

These pieces of equipment all had the function of controlling magic.

The three ministers were also frightened by Leon’s actions.

They did not believe Leon’s explanation. If the witch was truly not on the verge of losing control, why would he run off with his family?

But they all had the temperament of actors and couldn’t show fear in front of external enemies. At this moment, they were all pretending to be calm.

After seeing off the Imperial Emissary, Leon took the Bank Emissary, Mr. Emran, and his 3 personal bodyguards into the conference room to discuss the bank debt issue.

Annie brewed a cup of Green Shade Territory’s special blend coffee for Leon and Emran respectively. The aroma was rich and refreshing.

“Mr. Emran, the coffee in Green Shade Territory is very good. You must try it.”

Leon said with a smile.

Bank Emissary Mr. Emran looked at him with a serious expression,

“I am not in the mood to taste coffee right now. Let’s discuss the debt issue. When will you repay the debt?”

“Mr. Emran, please mind your attitude. You are speaking to our esteemed Lord. Green Shade Territory has a population of 2 million and an army of 200,000. This is not something a mere 10,000 debt collection army can withstand.”

Minister Alex Poole changed his gentle attitude. He looked at Emran with sharp eyes and told Emran with a righteous face that the debtor was the boss.

Even Leon was startled for a moment. He didn’t expect the short Minister of External Affairs to be so confrontational the moment he spoke, showing a completely different attitude towards the debt collector compared to the Imperial Emissary.

Truly worthy of being Green Shade Territory’s most outstanding diplomat.

The obese Minister of Finance and the effeminate-looking Minister of Internal Affairs also simultaneously widened their eyes, cooperating with Alex Poole, united in their hatred, giving Emran the illusion of being surrounded by a pack of wolves.

Emran didn’t want to lose face. His purpose this time was to collect the debt. Adhering to the attitude of being firm when the other party is weak and agreeable when the other party is strong, he was determined to get the debt back. So, he seriously apologized to Leon,

“I’m sorry, My Lord. I was being too anxious. I apologize for my inappropriate language just now.”

“It’s alright. We are sitting together today to solve the problem.”

Leon acted quite magnanimously, forgiving Emran’s intense words, and began to appreciate his flexible nature.

“Anna, the map.”

He turned to look at Miss Maid Anna, who had the 【Spy】 entry above her head. Anna immediately brought him a complete map of Green Shade Territory.

Just as everyone thought Leon wanted to cede land in compensation, Leon asked,

“Mr. Emran, what do you see?”

“Land, mines, and mountains. Do you intend to use these as compensation?”

Mr. Emran looked at Leon suspiciously. This was indeed the first choice for many Lords after incurring debt and also the most foolish approach, ceding land to the bank.

“No, your vision is too narrow. I see a thriving Green Shade Territory. Look, these pieces of land will all turn into gold.”

“Gold? What do you plan to do?”

“I want to build the tallest and most luxurious building in the world here, attracting all the nobles to be neighbors in this building. Forming a top-tier noble circle. Anyone living in this building will be able to enjoy some of Green Shade Territory’s privileges, making them feel like they are at the top of the food chain.

“Near the building, build townhouses and sell them to rich merchants who aspire to get close to and become nobles, forming a high-end wealthy circle. Rich merchants living here will have a better chance of intermarrying with nobles, marrying their children to nobles, and making the next generation nobles.

“Next to the villas, build high-end residential areas and sell them to the middle class who aspire to get close to power and wealth, forming a high-level middle-class circle.

“Near the high-end residential areas, build Sunny residential areas and sell them to commoners who aspire to get close to the middle class, forming a well-off commoner circle.

“This will become Green Shade Territory’s new city. All the wealth will gather here. Clubs, amusement parks, noble schools, and high-end hospitals will be built here. The land here is gold.”

After Leon finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

A flicker of unusual brilliance also flashed in Anna’s eyes.

The Minister of Finance, the Head of Internal Affairs, and the Minister of External Affairs seemed to see a brand new rising Green Shade Territory.

Omari Hani at this moment gave a thumbs up, “Wonderful, absolutely wonderful.”

He understood the situation of Green Shade Territory very well. There were quite a few rich farmers, workshop owners, and commoners with some money. They didn’t have noble status but yearned to squeeze into noble circles. As long as these houses had clever names and were built in the inner city, they would definitely attract many people.

Mr. Emran couldn’t help but swallow.

People strive for greater heights, and most people hope to live better and be closer to upper society.

Leon was precisely using this psychology to attract the subjects who craved power and status with hierarchical culture.

However, Emran still had some questions.

“Green Shade Territory has no money left and is now heavily in debt. What money do you plan to use to build this tallest and most luxurious building in the world?”

Emran asked.

“Good question, Mr. Emran. I plan to take out a loan from the bank.”

Leon said with a smile.

“Loan? You already owe the bank a loan of 300 million gold, we cannot lend you any more.”

Emran directly refused.

“Who says I am going to take out a loan from the Imperial Bank? I will take out a loan from the Green Shade Territory Bank.”

Leon said.

Everyone was stunned again. Green Shade Territory Bank? When was it established? How did we not know?

“Green Shade Territory has a bank?”

Emran asked.

“Of course, Green Shade Territory’s bank will be established within a month. By then, I will have money to build the tallest and most luxurious building in the world,

And then sell all the surrounding land. The purpose is housing construction, allowing buying and selling. Wouldn’t smart merchants come to me themselves to buy these lands?

After selling the surrounding land, won’t I have money to repay the bank loan?”

“Establishing a bank also requires money, at least 1 million gold. Where will this money come from? Managing a bank requires professional talent. Does a place like Green Shade Territory have that?”

Emran asked seriously.

“The preparatory funds, of course, will be provided by the original shareholders of the Green Shade Territory Bank. As for professional talent, aren’t you one?”

Leon looked at Emran with a smile, “Are you willing to be the president of the Green Shade Territory Bank?”

Although this was the first time Leon met Emran, the entries above his head had completely revealed his information.

【Humble Origin】【Financial Talent】【Underappreciated Talent】

Because of his humble origin, even though Emran was very capable, he had always been just a debt collector for the Imperial Bank, day after day for 20 years. He simply couldn’t reach the core of power.

Let alone being a bank president, he wouldn’t even be a department head.

Upon hearing Leon’s invitation, Emran froze completely.

An indescribable feeling surged in his chest.

This was a challenge and an opportunity.

If he chose to follow Leon, it would mean giving up everything at the Imperial Bank and starting over in Green Shade Territory.

Although this starting point was what he had always dreamed of, being a bank president!

But the price could be perishing along with Green Shade Territory.

“You don’t have to worry. I will repay the Imperial Bank’s 300 million gold debt. Green Shade Territory Bank will also have a future, because the future is in the hands of people like you and me.”

Leon looked at Emran and said in an almost enticing voice,

“Are you willing to be a debt collector for the Imperial Bank your whole life?

Are you willing to be looked down upon forever?

Or do you not believe in your own talent, not believe that you can also, like the noble presidents of the Imperial Bank, bring the Green Shade Territory Bank onto the right track?”

“No, my only concern now is that you cannot repay the Imperial Bank’s debt. At that time, everything in Green Shade Territory will be reclaimed by the Imperial Bank, and all your visions will turn into bubbles.”

Emran sat up straight and said with bright eyes,

“Can you really come up with 300 million gold in a short time?”

Leon knew that Emran was already tempted. His current concern was the debt problem of Green Shade Territory.

“Yes, I cannot come up with 300 million gold in a short time, so I came up with a good idea.”

Everyone’s attention was once again focused on Leon. They had been completely drawn into his line of thought.

Leon took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly,

“Installment payments.”

“What do you mean?”

Emran asked.

“Green Shade Territory is willing to repay the bank’s 300 million gold loan in installments, paid off in 5 years, divided into 60 installments, with an interest rate of 5%.

The first installment will be 570,000 gold, and the monthly repayment will be 5,661,370 gold coins, accumulating to a total repayment of 339,682,205.59 gold coins, with interest of 39,682,205.59 gold coins. This way, the bank can earn an extra 39 million gold coins, which should also be counted in your performance.

Repaying early, on the contrary, would not yield this much interest. What do you think?”

Emran was moved. The interest of 39 million gold coins was no joke. Even if he only got a 1% commission, he would have 390,000 gold!

Most importantly, it alleviated Green Shade Territory’s economic pressure and allowed Green Shade Territory to heavily develop real estate. Once the economy developed, it would naturally have the ability to repay subsequent debts.

This was simply a win-win situation.

The only problem was that the bank had never handled installment payments for debt, and even Green Shade Territory would need a guarantee.

“What will you use as a guarantee?”

Emran asked.

Leon looked at the maid Anna.

Anna brought out a golden tray. On the tray were the Lord’s Seal, the inheritance document, and a string of keys to the Lord’s Mansion.

“Besides these, plus the head of my esteemed father, Lord Moria. If the debt cannot be repaid, Green Shade Territory is willing to give up everything.”

Leon said with a bitter and deep-seated hatred.

Emran put down his coffee cup and stood up. “This matter is too significant, I cannot decide alone, but I will try to go back and persuade the upper management of the Imperial Bank. Please wait for my news.”

“Mr. Emran, I look forward to your return as the president of Green Shade Territory Bank. I will reserve 10% of the original shares for you as a token of my sincerity.”

“Please be sure to wait for me to return before holding the shareholders’ meeting.”

Emran made up his mind to seize this opportunity to change his destiny.

If he succeeded, immense wealth awaited him. If he failed, all his efforts would be in vain.

This was a gambler’s gamble! But Emran had not completely left himself without a fallback.

If he returned again and Leon had not raised the funds to establish the bank, he could still choose to continue being a debt collector for the Imperial Bank.

Leon saw off the bustling debt collection army and let out a long sigh of relief.

The three ministers instantly felt their legs go weak and slumped onto the ground without regard for their dignity.

Sophie also immediately put on the bracelets, foot chains, and collar that controlled her magic.

The maids Anna and Annie exchanged glances, and a strong interest showed in their eyes.

It seems the new Lord will bring us many surprises.
