The stewards of the Gray Market Chamber of Commerce had long noticed Su Li and his group. These foreigners with their attire were obviously Pioneer Knights who had just arrived at Marle Castle.
Such people were golden customers for the major chambers of commerce. Before leaving Marle Castle, most of the Knights would spend money extravagantly, squandering all their wealth. By this point, they were no longer rational in their spending; as long as something seemed valuable, they would desperately cram it into their ranks. It's as if this could give them a ludicrous sense of security for their anxious and uncertain future.
This was clearly wishful thinking. The vast majority didn't even reach the Pioneer Territory before being plundered halfway by bandits, thieves, war gangs, and even other lords. The last one usually accounted for the majority.
