Ezra's POV
"What happened, Miyo? What news are you talking about?" Vlad asked coldly.
"That candy merchant was found dead in his own shop. I got this news a few hours ago, and I quickly rushed there to see, and indeed he was dead. And looking at his body, it seems like he had died a long time ago, like months ago."
Wait! That candy merchant was found dead? Honestly? The way we all had talked yesterday, I thought that everything was joined with that candy merchant. And he was the mastermind who was taking orders from my father.
But he was also found dead. Then who is doing all this? Did my father kill that candy merchant? 'Cause he must have thought that he didn't need that merchant anymore.
"What was the reason for his death?" Vlad asked,
while scratching his fingernails with his thumbnail.
"That's anonymous. We searched his whole body, but there wasn't a single scratch, nor was he given poison. He was just dead. Like, he was sleeping."
