Bradford's initial answers did indeed leave Gu Hang unsatisfied, but those last words truly made him reconsider.
They were precisely what he had hoped for.
Initially, Gu Hang had wanted Hodgson to take on the task. That old man, who had lived for a very long time, had even been through the establishment of the Alliance on Rage Owl Star by the first generation of governors. Although not specifically a channel merchant, having lived for so long was wealth in itself.
But now, it seemed that Hodgson had died.
Although he had not yet entered the city to investigate, little Hodgson, that is, Lambert, could no longer wait.
After wrapping up matters in the outer city, he was eager to enter the city. Gu Hang assigned a part of the Marine Corps' elite to him, letting him go ahead to investigate.
The Hodgson family estate was no longer sealed off, the city's nobility no longer saw the need to do so.
However, upon returning home smoothly, Lambert didn't manage to find anything of value.
