"C'mon, everyone, put your backs into it! This load's almost done!"
Down at the docks on Larch Island, shirtless men were hauling goods nonstop, muscles glistening under the sun. A particularly burly man led the group, shouting orders at the top of his lungs.
After Matthew had left, Mack had taken charge of dock operations alongside the Veiled Assembly.
"Boss, there's a dozen ships approaching from afar!"
A sharp-eyed worker pointed toward the sea, where several large vessels were making their way closer.
"Isn't this load all we're expecting today? Tertius, go check it out!"
Tertius, dressed sharply in a suit, sprinted out of the office. Grabbing a pair of binoculars, he focused on the approaching ships.
"Mack, they're from the Lopez Mining Group. They're delivering iron ore."
Tertius' report earned a nod of approval from Mack. It wasn't unusual for the Lopez Mining Group's fleet to make deliveries, and over time, it had become a regular occurrence.
Suddenly, Tertius' face lit up with excitement. "Mack, Matteo's back!"
His declaration hit the dockworkers like a lightning bolt, and the bustling scene froze for a moment before breaking into a wave of smiles and cheers.
"Deputy Larden is back!"
"Our good days are finally here again!"
"Finally, no more surviving on three meals of leeks every day under Mr. Hancock!"
