The previous night, once Gudora and Hanya arrived at the City Lord Estate, an investigation had been conducted upon Hanya's urging.
In a matter of hours, a long scroll was brought to Gudora. It contained Inala's purchase history, not limited to him alone but anyone and everyone related to him.
Upon staring at it, Gudora was surprised, "Why does a Theatre owner require all this?"
Medicines, Elixirs, Cultivation Techniques, large volumes of food, and most of all, frequent commissions to cartographers and explorers. Pretty much every single map in the market, whether legit or fake had been procured by Inala through a variety of channels.
He also bribed higher officials with large sums of money and valuable resources to purchase whatever maps were in their possession. This started around thirty months ago and the scale of activity was increasing every month.
