"Are you going back to Tainan soon?" Debbie looked up at the tall mast and the slender hull, feeling that the ship must be very fast.
"Yes, we've been here for a month, and we'll be setting sail back to Taiyuan in a few days!"
"Are you all His Highness Prince Heng's private fleet?" Debbie already had the answer in her mind, but she still needed to confirm it.
"Yes, um?...I wonder what kind of business you two are looking for?" The captain became suspicious as the two men kept asking questions, and he remembered the "Confidentiality Regulations" issued by the Administration.
"Hehe! Don't be nervous. We know your Prince. We have some matters to discuss with your officials."
Promi had been doing intelligence work in the orc territory for over a decade. The captain's expression changed, and he knew what was going on. He immediately revealed his identity to dispel the other party's suspicions.
"You know our prince... Distinguished guests, please follow me, I'll take you to the steward." The captain's expression became even more tense, and he immediately led the two men toward the three-story concrete building.
As soon as the three entered the gray cement building, they were immediately engulfed by a cacophony of noise.
The first floor of the concrete building was full of people: people from Great Xia, *****, and even a few people who looked like black chieftains. They were divided into several small circles and kept talking noisily. Debbie kept hearing conversations like, "No more stock, next time!" and "I'll pay more, I'll take as much as I want."
The captain didn't stop and led the couple directly to the second floor.
Upon ascending the stairs, you are greeted by a sandalwood counter, behind which sits a shrewd-looking burly man from Xia.
"Captain Luo, you've brought a big client? Have you already distributed all the cargo?" The man greeted the captain with a very friendly smile, clearly a shrewd and tactful fellow.
"Fourth Steward, these two claim to know our Prince. I, Old Luo, cannot make the decision. Could you handle their reception?" Captain Luo said uncertainly.
"Oh? May I ask how you two are addressed? Where have you seen our Prince before?" The man called the Fourth Steward greeted Debbie politely, neither flustered nor obsequious.
"We met with His Highness Qin Mo in Rome, but we couldn't reach an agreement on some matters, so we're going to Dayuan to talk to Lord Allen!"
Debbie's calm yet haughty reply immediately caught the attention of the fourth steward, who said, "Please have a seat, both of you. I will ask the director to come out right away."
The position of "director" was also copied by Qin Mo. Under the Development Administration Bureau, there are private companies owned by nobles, as well as government-run offices responsible for supervising, liaising and coordinating various matters. The head of the office is the "director"!
The section chief came out.
The section chief was arrogant. Upon seeing the two men, he didn't mince words and directly asked, "Do you two have any credentials from my prince?"
"No!"
"How can you two prove you know my prince? Our ship doesn't carry strangers!"
Prome grabbed the arm of an enraged Debbie, preventing her from producing proof that would surely make the other woman vomit blood.
An oppressive aura descended upon the section chief, causing him to turn pale instantly; he knew something was wrong.
The man and woman, though their auras were subtle, were actually at least at the Earth Realm level, far surpassing the strength of a newly promoted Yellow Realm cultivator like myself.
"Is this proof enough?" Prome asked with a smile.
"Your Excellency is very powerful, but that doesn't mean... you know my Prince!" The section chief was very principled. Even when facing someone who could take his life at any moment, he still spoke the truth.
"Qiao Erlang, I don't blame you for having grievances, but don't take it out on the guests. It's disgraceful to us Dayuan people."
A blunt voice came from the third floor, and then Promi saw a slightly chubby, round-faced man with a big smile walk down.
"Distinguished guests, I am Lin Yongqian, Director of the Pipeline Development Bureau. May I ask what brings you here?"
"We're going to Dayuan to find Lord Allen!"
"Oh! The fleet will be returning in a few days. You two can hitch a ride along the way, but could you tell me why you're looking for Allen?"
"We want a marriage alliance!"
