Chapter: 1739
He could tell by the speed at which his opponent was approaching.
From the speed at which his pursuer was approaching, he could tell that there was no way to shake him off using conventional means.�
If things continued like this, he would be caught by them before he could even reach halfway.
�Who said I would let myself be caught without a fight?�
The back alleys of Haimen were like his own backyard.
He navigated through the maze-like alleys as if he were following a carefully drawn map.
Tae Musang ran through the alleyways, changing directions here and there. But even then, he couldn�t shake off his pursuer.
�Tsk!�
He didn�t know what methods they were using, but the pursuer was like a ghost, relentlessly tracking his every move.
It was impossible to shake him off in the usual way.
In the end, Tae Musang had to make a decision.
His choice was the underground passage in the slums, where filth flowed.
The underground passage, where all sorts of filth flowed, emitted a stench so strong that ordinary people could hardly bear it. However, not the entire underground passage was filled with filth.
There was a clean area in the middle, like an island, where the stench was almost non-existent. It was a hiding place where children and he occasionally stayed.
Although the path to the hiding place was straightforward, beyond that, it became intricately tangled like a labyrinth. The back alleys above ground were so complex that newcomers would almost certainly get lost.
In fact, there were quite a few who carelessly entered there, got lost, and ended up dead.
As long as he could make it to the hideout, then he�ll be able to shake off his pursuers.
With that in mind, Tae Musang ran through the underground passage.
�Huff� huff!�
Just when he was finally out of breath did Tae Musang finally reached the hiding place.
�B, brother?�
�What are you doing at this hour?�
However, there were a few young children in the hiding place.
�Why are you all here?�
Tae Musang�s pupils shook.
Playing here was only allowed until sunset.
It was a rule among them to leave when the sun went down. That�s why Tae Musang decided to come here.
�We just wanted to play with brother��
�Sorry, big brother.�
The children answered with expressions of guilt, knowing they had done something wrong. JrNovels.com
