They suddenly find him dead

As Kahlan disappeared from her line of sight, Mia stopped laughing immediately wearing a dejected expression.

She really was not in the mood to guffaw so unceremoniously neither was she in the mood to tease Kahlan. She was in the mood to cry.

Just now, Luca's wife had told them that her husband was found dead at one of her enemy's territory. He was stabbed at the back and left to die...

As she thought about it, she felt a chill run down her spine. How gruesome can the killer be? She hated Luca but didn't want him to die in such a manner.

They had been looking for Luca since the day he disappeared to question him on why he had targeted Kahlan out of nowhere. They didn't just believe that it was his failed attempt on sexually harassing her.

They looked for him that day after the commotion had died down but he was nowhere to be seen. They asked those present in the scene and were told that a scar faced man came and took Luca away without being coerced. They said Luca acted like he knew him.

After he left, they suddenly find him dead.

Could someone tell her what was going on.

Luca's wife had mentioned that though where Luca died was in her enemy's territory, it could increase the notion that they were indeed the suspect for such deliberate murder.

Yet, they had an unbending rule that all the gangs followed to not just carelessly kill each other.

Even though they fought on intervals, she knew they wouldn't dare kill off her husband in such a manner.

She was the boss of a gang on a higher ranking than theirs, they will lose out a lot on daring to go as far as kill her husband. Even her men can walk into that same territory without fear of being killed, just questioned and fought, not killed.

Yet her husband was found dead there.

She crossed out all suspicion on the enemy gang, directing it to another source that might be connected to Kahlan.

She must say, they did a good job pushing the blame on her enemy gang but if one thought about it carefully, you would find some loopholes.

Mia sighed, she couldn't place a finger on what was going on.

There seemed to be some kind of conspiracy surrounding Luca's death and the happenings around Kahlan recently.

She even held some kind of suspicion to Leo. That bat was a black hearted devil that never treated Kahlan right, from the onset.

Her good friend was so in love and blinded, only someone watching from the sidelines like her noticed the impertinent character of that fellow.

She agitatedly pulled her hair in frustration,

What were they hiding that they had to kill off Luca in such a repellently shocking manner.

She walked into the bar absentmindedly.

She had to find Marcello, she had to discuss this matter with him or else she would be choking herself with worry.

She made her way to the higher rank rooms of the bar specifically made for people that had money to burn. That was the place allocated to Marcello, she and Kahlan were assigned much lower ranked rooms to serve.

Which made their salary differ, with Marcello being the richest amongst them.

The bar infact was designed to be a place for resting and entertainment. There was a specific place in the bar where individuals come to drink and are not necessarily given any special treatment.

While there was a part where individuals were entertained, served all kinds of expensive food and drinks. This conclusive area off from people's eyes are where some business men come to have fun and initiate deals. So it was a prosperous bar.

After finding Marcello, Mia dragged him to a corner to discuss about the findings of Luca's wife.

Meanwhile, Kahlan was wondering where her friends had run off to letting her work alone.

Even the chattering Mia who was always clinging around her akin to an unyielding glue was no where to be seen.

It's not as if she couldn't strike up a conversation and chat with her other colleagues but she was a little unwilling to talk to them.

They always assumed she put on airs and was snobbish even going as far as gossip her behind her back.

She was not fond of them. For so unknown reason, the female colleagues didn't like her. Whereas, her male colleagues looked like pending trouble. They had this mischievous aura around them and always sought attention here and there..

Only Marcello was a breath of fresh air.

Therefore, she turned to all corners looking for Mia and Marcello.
