章 700: Meeting

Ignoring the young man's astonished gaze, Monica lifted her skirt and hurried over with small steps.

Arriving before him, she joyfully exclaimed, "Lord Ji Chen, what brings you here? I haven't seen you since you left Lienhardt!"

Looking at the delightful face now slightly flushed from running, Ji Chen smiled gently and replied, "I heard about the demon incident, so I came to see what's going on."

"Are you here representing Lienhardt for this meeting?"

Monica agreed with a slight upward curve of her eyebrows, resembling a crescent moon. "Dad's tied up with important stuff and couldn't make it, so he sent my brother and me to stand in for him. It's all about getting some hands-on experience and getting ready to run things here someday."

Ji Chen nodded. "Julius is probably still dealing with the Bass Kingdom's territorial issue, so it's understandable. But I believe you'll handle this meeting very well, Monica."
