Kris had the team stop in its tracks and briskly walked up to Ji Chen to greet him.
Looking around, she asked curiously, "My lord, what brings you here?"
"I'm just out for a stroll. But what about you? What brings your group to this place?"
"We're here to receive the cargo from the Ocean's Crown."
Ji Chen nodded slightly, recalling that he had indeed received a notice from the Elven Embassy that they would be receiving this precious cargo of timber and premium coffee beans soon.
It seemed the timing was about right.
However, Ji Chen glanced around and asked, puzzled, "This batch of cargo is quite substantial. With just you elves here, I'm afraid you won't have enough manpower for the handling."
Kris smiled and shook her head. "We're just the advance team for the reception. As for the handling... you'll see soon."
Seeing her mysterious demeanor, Ji Chen didn't press further on the topic and joined her in waiting.
