Li Qinwu, Catwoman Nova, and the 1,000 civil officials provided by Inquisitor Thraxol—said to possess King-tier administrative capabilities—rode the space elevator down to the surface.
Under Li Qinwu's command, these people would establish a new planet-level governing body and restore the tax system.
The space elevator rumbled toward Hive City 2, which would become the capital of the new government. The new regime would begin taking shape there.
Inside the elevator, Li Qinwu held a stalk of wheat and kept teasing Catwoman Nova with it.
Catwoman Nova's eyes tracked the swaying wheat stalk like surveillance cameras.
Finally, she could no longer stand it. She pounced forward and slapped the stalk to the floor with a claw!
Then she glared at Li Qinwu in embarrassed fury.
"Meow the hell, do you really think I'm a cat?! Focus on work, will you?! You're supposed to build a planet-level government within half a year!"
Li Qinwu asked with a chuckle, "Oh dear, building a planet-level government within half a year? That really is difficult~
So, Miss Nova, what suggestions do you have?"
Catwoman Nova confidently patted her modest chest.
"Isn't it obvious? First, tear down the old stuff, then build something new on the ruins.
First, barbecue that rebellious planetary governor!!"
A few hours later, Li Qinwu brought the officials to the Spire of Duke Yote's family in Hive City 2.
He domineeringly requisitioned the Spire as the new government's office building and began working on the spot!
The nobles of Hive City 2 were extremely cooperative. They had always believed in the God-Emperor, and now that the Imperium's authority had returned, they felt they could once again shit on the heads of commoners. One after another, they wept with joy!
