"What?" Xu Shiming was taken aback, the thermos in his hand fell to the ground, spilling soup everywhere.
"Dad, wasn't the stuff handed over?" Xu Nuo was also frightened, her face turning pale instantly.
Xu Shiming, trembling, fumbled for his phone and tried to contact Princess Lucy. For a long time, he hadn't dared to use his own phone to reach Princess Lucy, always contacting her through intermediaries. Now, he couldn't care less about that.
"Old Xu, where are the beads?"
On the other end, an elegant female voice came through, pleasant yet with an underlying edge.
"Lucy, I had Mr. and Mrs. Alan take the beads a while ago. They should be crossing the border and going by water to make the delivery. It's been over ten days already, why haven't you received them?"
Princess Lucy was very dissatisfied, her voice sinking: "What? The task wasn't completed, and now you're questioning me?"
