Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 147: Fire Witch Finna Barbosa
Jack Moriah successfully eased Li En's awkward situation because the girls' attention was almost entirely diverted to him.

Dorothy Hall had the ability to draw all the fire, even if she wasn't even there.

Catherine needs Jack Moriah to give her an answer. Dora, as her supporter, of course stands on her side, while Sophie, Anna and Nancy Stuart also want to know why Jack Moriah chose Dorothy.

Except for Sophie, almost everyone else hopes that Li En's fiancée is Catherine so that they won't have too much pressure.

"Catherine, it's not that you're not good enough. This matter involves a secret, but I believe that you will never reveal it for Li En's sake. In fact, our Moriah family in Green Shade Territory has been cursed. If it weren't for the witch's offspring, they would die young."

Jack Moriah said regretfully, "And if Li En doesn't give birth to a child before he turns 20, misfortune will befall him."

Sophie, Anna, Catherine, Nancy, and Dora all looked at Li En in surprise.

Li En was also shocked.

Damn, Lao Deng, why didn’t you tell me about this?
Jack Moriah looked at Li En regretfully and said that what he said was true.

"And the only witch in the empire who can continue to have descendants is Dorothy. I'm sorry, you are all excellent, but if our Moriah family wants to continue, we must make some choices. I hope you don't blame Li En for this. All of this is my fault. It was me who brought this terrible curse upon me."

Old Jack was in tears and sobbing, like a top-tier actor.

Li En narrowed his eyes, his intuition telling him that old Moriah was lying.

Because the real Li En had met with an accident, and there were no negative attributes associated with him now.

So, Old Jack said this just to steady the girls.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

After hearing that Li En might not live past the age of 20, the five women all showed worried expressions.

"I'm sorry, Li En, I wanted to tell you before that you must have a baby as soon as possible, but you didn't give me the chance."

Old Jack wiped away his crocodile tears.

"Luckily you are still young. You have three years. I believe you can save yourself."

Hey... Hey, hey. Don't lie so seriously, I'll believe it.

Li En wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I'm sorry, dear. I didn't know about this and kept asking you to do so much for me. I'm such a selfish woman."

Catherine held Li En's hand. Although she had not forgotten her best friend's betrayal, she still chose to forgive Li En. Who could hold a grudge against a terminally ill patient who was deeply cursed?
When she first met Li En, she was not only plagued by bad luck, but also suffered from a terminal illness. However, Li En helped her, saved her, accepted her, was willing to be her support, and helped her regain the Blue Moon Territory.

And now, Li En is facing the same situation. Should he retreat?

"Catherine, I can't blame you. Even I didn't know it."

Li En told the truth.

Jack Moriah sighed, "This is all my fault. It's my fault. I hid some of the truth so that you could inherit the Green Shade Territory."

Catherine expressed the girls' thoughts. Without exception, they were all saved by Li En and were given a new life because of Li En, but now, they seem to be able to do nothing.

Without violating the laws of the empire, it seems that only Dorothy can save Li En.

If they could not suppress their emotions and let Li En go looking for Dorothy, which eventually led to tragedy, they would fall into deep self-blame.

"Lee En, how can I help you?"

Sophie, who was usually taciturn, suddenly asked.

Li En's eyes lit up. If everyone wasn't there, he really wanted to say it.

"Sophie, can you help me give birth to a child?"

But now is clearly not a good time.

"Thank you, Sophie."

Old Jack breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the crisis was over.

"Don't worry too much, everyone. As long as Li En can marry Dorothy, this matter won't have any impact on him."

Old Jack comforted everyone, but their mood obviously did not improve so easily.

Dorothy was like a dark cloud hanging over the beautiful women, making them depressed.

"Cough-cough-"

Li En coughed twice and decided to divert everyone's attention and get things back on track.

"Anna, Catherine, Dora, Nancy, Sophie, I used a special method to lead you into your dreams in order to hold a meeting."

"Meeting?"

Dora was stunned.

At this moment, she felt even more desperate than when she heard that Li En didn't have many years left to live.

Because what Li En said just now was enough to prove that this was not his dream.

Then the Catherine in front of us may be the real Catherine.

Then Catherine really saw him kissing Li En just now.

The boat of friendship is likely to capsize in this storm.

This is something Dora absolutely doesn't want to see.

Although Anna had guessed this a long time ago, she was still a little socially frustrated. Who made her wear a little leather skirt and hold a little whip? She even stepped directly on the man of the house just now. Such an undisguised display of her feelings was something that even Anna could only do in her dreams.

Catherine regretted her previous actions. She had actually asked about Lee En and Nancy's relationship directly. This was an absolutely foolish decision, and it could have potentially pushed their relationship into the abyss. Furthermore, she had seen Dora and Lee En kissing! This meant that this wasn't a dream! She hadn't even lost her temper and questioned them on the spot about what they were doing! Any intelligent woman wouldn't force herself on such a matter.

Catherine bit her lip, her eyes full of grievance. She didn't know what to do.

Should he lose the two most important people in his life in an instant, or should he let Lee En go to Dora and Dorothy?

Nancy Stuart knew that this was Lee En's dream, that she had come uninvited, and she seemed the calmest. She knew that the souls in the dream were real, and she also knew what she was doing.

Sophie's expression remained calm, showing no emotion.

She is the same in dreams and in reality.

She neither suppressed her emotions nor did she behave foolishly in a way that was out of character.

Her consistency allows her to remain calm no matter what environment she is in.

Looking at their different expressions, Li En first comforted Catherine who was about to cry. His fiancée was made of water.

"Catherine, Dora and I are just friends. I will never go beyond that unless you allow me."

Li En held Catherine in his arms and said, "Also, I promise that I will never cancel the engagement on my own initiative. We will walk into the palace of marriage."

After hearing Li En's promise, Catherine finally stopped crying. She was very moved, but also very sad.

Sophie felt a little lost watching the interaction between the two, but she couldn't tell why.

She always knew that her identity was a guardian, even though Li En occasionally gave her the illusion that she could be an ordinary girl.

"Since it's a meeting, I won't disturb you." Jack Moriah planned to retire after his success. He didn't want to clean up Li En's mess again. This was obviously his battlefield, so why should his father pay for it?
I have already taught him the trick, and I hope he can fend for himself.

"Oh, Father, you can join in too."

Li En knew that Jack Moriah would never betray him because he was the one he chose and only he could save Green Shade Territory.

"This is not good."

Jack Moriah certainly saw through Li En's intention. He didn't want to stay here for the meeting, but wanted the girls to direct all their firepower at himself so that he could stay out of trouble.

Of course, there is another reason. As an elder, the girls need to give Jack Moriah some respect and not quarrel with him in front of them, which is too disrespectful.

Therefore, Jack Moriah became the stabilizer of the meeting, acting as a balance among the many lively forces so as to prevent them from fighting directly.

Li En didn't want to see a river of blood.

He hopes the girls can live in peace.

Except for Catherine and Nancy, everyone else at the scene had pure "friendship".

Dora's kiss just now couldn't change Li En's attitude towards her. His fiancée's best friend was a bottom line that must not be touched, otherwise his wife would get angry.

Unless, Catherine is no longer his fiancée.

"Father, everything I have now is given by you, and I need your valuable advice."

Li En started to play the family card and forced Lao Deng to stay.

Everyone left Li En's bedroom and went to the conference room to hold a roundtable meeting.

"Everyone here is the person I trust the most, my family, friends, and lover. I hope what I'm about to say won't shock you too much."

Li En said as he looked around.

Catherine, Anna, and Nancy were emotionally stable and had obviously calmed down.

Sophie was the same as always, but there was a subtle sadness in her eyes.

Dora seems to be still immersed in self-blame, and she may need to digest it slowly on her own.

Li En is in no position to comfort her now, and can only light candles for her silently in his heart.

If she wasn't Catherine's best friend, perhaps the two of them would have gotten along very well.

The only male present, Jack Moriah, had already pricked up his ears, ready to listen to the heir's plan.

"We secured Yusofa, but not the all-important granary. The granary has now been allocated to Holloway, making it unlikely we can secure it peacefully. However, this isn't a major issue. Our army has already retreated to the border of Blue Moon Territory and will join forces with Rose Territory in Yusofa. Mary will formally declare war on Blue Moon Territory after Lor's death."

Li En started talking about business, and the atmosphere instantly became serious.

"By then, this mixed army will attack the Blue Moon Territory. Catherine, we need to fish."

Li En looked at Catherine.

Catherine put away her cowardly expression and her eyes were firm, as if she was a bullied little wife in the previous second, and transformed into a heroine seeking revenge in the next second.

"I will voluntarily give up some land to paralyze Mary's nerves and make her think she has won the battle. Once her army advances deep into our territory, we will join forces from within and outside to encircle the Rose Army."

"That's great. This is also my plan, provided that Blue Moon has its own army. I now need to know how many people you can commit to the war."

"5 people."

Catherine said seriously.

Li En was stunned. He knew that his fiancée was a smart girl, but he didn't expect that her ability was so strong that she could form an army of more than 5 people in such a short time. She definitely had the ability to produce a large number of troops.

Nancy Stuart and Anna also took a new look at Catherine.

"The new witch is also in place."

Katherine continued, "The Fire Witch, Finna Barbossa."

When Nancy heard the name of Finna Barbosa, her brows frowned slightly.

"This is not good news. This is the result of Mary's manipulation. The Fire Witch Finna Barbosa is Mary's person."

Nancy Stuart said.

Catherine looked at Nancy in disbelief.

"You mean Mary's hand has reached into the Guardian Bureau?"

Nancy nodded.

"Yes, although the Guardian Bureau is hailed as the Empire's most important weapon, the Seven Creed Families have long infiltrated the Bureau over the years. From management to mid-level officials, there are many Imperial dignitaries. Mary has also cultivated some of her own forces within the Guardian Bureau, with Finna Barbossa being her key training target. Witches aren't born this strong; they also need growth and resources. Within the Guardian Bureau, these resources are distributed unequally. Those talented witches who rank at the top generally have secret sponsors. Even Miss Sophie was sponsored by Lord Moriah back then, right?"

Nancy looked at Old Jack.

Old Jack nodded. "Yes, even though I'm Sophie's backer, for her to come to Greenshade Territory, I'd have to bribe a high-ranking official to influence the Guardian Bureau's personnel appointments, which is a very difficult task. Many backers can't get the witch's help. Mary is worthy of being the overlord of the South, to be able to manipulate such a matter."

Li En didn't expect that Sophie had also received favors from Lao Deng.

No wonder she is so loyal to the Green Shade Territory.

Catherine frowned. If Finna Barbosa was Mary's person, then her staying in the Blue Moon Territory would be a time bomb.

She suddenly realized the importance of this meeting. Without Nancy's intelligence, she might have made a huge mistake in the war.

A witch is like an army.

"It's okay, leave Finna Barbosa to me."

Dora said seriously.

She now urgently needs to demonstrate her worth in front of her best friend and hopes to maintain this friendship.

Although Catherine loves Li En very much, she is not an unreasonable person.

Dora had been the light in her life, the one who gave her hope.

She cherished Dora more than anyone else.

Even if Dora does something wrong because of her willfulness.

Catherine would also choose to forgive her, especially at a time like this.

"Thank you, Dora."

"Dora, where is the task I gave you?"

Lee En asked.

In fact, Dora's previous departure in anger was just a play she and Li En acted out. She did not really return to Blue Moon Territory, but secretly went to Rose Territory.

Of course, she couldn't cause trouble directly in Rose Territory, because there was a terrible witch in Rose Territory who was more powerful than Dora.
