Ghost Castle's Estate Grounds

"Are you sure you can handle it?" Histeria asked in surprise.

"Of course!" Jiang Han held back the smug little "meow-ao" that nearly rose at the end of her sentence.

This way, I can deal with the surplus Cat Lamps on Giant Cat Island and complete the task Meow Yi Ao assigned me... More importantly, I can tear up that agreement with Davlin to add more "cat/witch civil servants"! Sorry, Little Dav... adorable as I am, I simply don't have enough funds to support hiring more civil servants...

Jiang Han's tail swished back and forth unconsciously.

It wasn't her fault for being cold-blooded!

Planning a backstab right after settling matters was simply normal for witches!

Lily Cabell had nearly become Anjie's only apprentice, hadn't she? Yet Anjie had still stabbed her hard over that thesis plagiarism case.

Besides, being a civil servant was a sweet deal—over two thousand a week in wages! Working only one or two hours a day, with no performance evaluations, no profit-and-loss statements, no hourly performance assessments, no standards to measure anything by... It was basically paying several thousand a week to hire someone to sit around and eat for free!

But in Cat Carlo's words, "Some cats have to get things done," while Davlin would say, "This is your achievement, my Lord."

Meow-ao! Cats don't want this kind of achievement! Not even if Olivia is paying the wages!

—Jiang Han's Giant Cat Island was regarded as one of Olivia's non-directly administered territories. Strictly speaking, Jiang Han received the same treatment as a Giant Cat Lamp secretary with a territory, or a Giant Cat lord with secretarial privileges. Thus, apart from her cat advisors, Olivia paid all their wages.

"But that's over two hundred thousand Cat Lamps. Can you really do it?" Xiya still looked unconvinced.
