Maybe we'll find out in Volume 5? Maybe Ilia and her associates are up to something in Menagerie. It does seem a bit suspicious that we were shown her associate buying a knife and testing out how easily he can flip it in his hand. There were plenty of stalls selling food and then one stall selling knives. They could've snuck up on him while he was grocery shopping, but the writers decided to have him knife shopping instead.
