Chapter 458: There Is Only One Pipi and One Dawn Merchant Group
Gumiduo was already up and enjoying a lavish breakfast.
Of course, aside from some all-natural fruit, the cooked dishes in this lavish spread were hardly delicious. At best, they were edible.
Gumiduo slipped a salty piece of meat into her mouth, chewed, and could not help sighing.
It tasted nowhere near as good as the noodles she had eaten in Pipi's tent!
Outside the mansion, a merchant working under Gumiduo jogged up from the distance, only to be stopped by the Beast Slaves at the entrance.
"I have urgent business with Lady Gumiduo!"
Naturally, the diner inside heard the shouting at the entrance. Gumiduo signaled to a tall, narrow-bodied slave servant beside her, who nodded and went out.
Gumiduo remembered the Akeniksen merchant the slave servant brought inside. If this fellow had not been the first to succumb to temptation and eat the noodles in Pipi's tent back then, who knew how much longer she and the other caravan members would have foolishly waited?
"Speak. What is it?"
The Akeniksen wiped the dust off his face. The news he had learned that morning had given him quite a fright as well. He had staked everything on the Dawn Merchant Group.
"Lady Gumiduo, this morning, in an alley in the Merchant Capital, Duoluo Like, a merchant from the Dawn Merchant Group, was found dead. He died during last night's rain..."
"What!? Who did it?"
Gumiduo put down her utensils and rose from her seat.
"We don't know! All we can be certain of is that it happened during last night's heavy rain. The nearby residents heard nothing, and there were no signs of a fight. Either he killed himself, or his attacker was far stronger than he was."
