Some "bad men"
After several minutes of thorough investigating, Hao Xuan decided to move on since there was not much to go on. His next destination was the abandoned Beast Market near the front deck but he decided to stop by a weaponsmith on the way, one that would be willing to sell to a slave like him.
Of the 7 weaponsmiths, only one had the white mark indicating that slaves were allowed in. This also happened to be the biggest shop that dealt in all kinds of strange and unique armaments, even making some on order.
When Hao Xuan stepped inside a slave quickly ran up to him with a wide smile. He was dressed rather fashionably and without any of the telltale marks that others in his position would have.
But upon seeing the white mark on Hao Xuan's chest a deadpan expression swiftly replaced the slave's enthusiasm.
