There was something off about that girl. Ashton's instincts were screaming at him. The look she gave him left a weird taste in his mouth. But before jumping to any conclusion regarding the girl or the man who was with her, he needed to get some information about them. It could be that they were friendlies or a neutral party.
Or it could be that the Gruntas were still not going to let the matter go and hired these people to cause a ruckus in his life? Given all the money they had, it wouldn't surprise him if they actually did something like that. After all, a noble's ego was something once hurt, would take a lot of effort and revenge to mend.
As much as Ashton wanted to leave for the black market, he decided it was not the right time to do so. He better postpone it for a few hours.
