The two of them compared accounts, and the case was solved.
To keep Li Qinwu working for him, Inquisitor Thraxol had used his political connections to exchange for a minor Sector Warrant.
The warrant could be used throughout an entire small sector around Li Qinwu's hometown, Agricultural World 496B. It was an exceedingly valuable sector-level warrant.
But for some unknown reason, the Pale Baron had taken the Rogue Trader warrant and returned from Terra to Purple Diamond Star. After meeting Li Qinwu and learning that Inquisitor Thraxol had died, he had not immediately handed over the warrant.
Then that bastard had vanished without a trace. No one knew where he had run off to.

His expression turned complicated. He probably knew why the Pale Baron had done this...
