Chapter: 1855
He couldn�t even find a clue about his younger sibling�s whereabouts, and now everything was burning into ashes, disappearing before his eyes.

Pyo-wol raised his head and looked at the hills in the distance.
Black smoke was rising from the hill.
�Looks like there�s another fire.�
�Tch! The beggars must have set something on fire and caused a blaze.�
�If they wanted to burn something, they should have set the entire slum on fire. It seems like it will burn for a while and then die down.�
The people nearby commented one by one.
They were all locals in this place so they knew that the fire was coming from the slums.�
They weren�t the slightest bit concerned with whatever happened in the slums.�
They only looked at the faraway flames in anticipation, imagining that if the whole slum burned down, they could drive out the poor and build nice houses there.�
Fortunately, the fire was quickly contained.
The black smoke that had been billowing from the fire had finally subsided.
People dispersed, saying it was a stroke of luck.
Pyo-wol also lost interest in the slums.
He didn�t pay much attention to matters unrelated to him.
He strolled along the shores of Lake Tai.
An endless expanse of the lake, dozens or hundreds of boats floating on it, and people laughing and talking with lively expressions.
All of that unfolded on the shores of Lake Tai. However, Pyo-wol didn�t spare a glance for those superficial appearances.
He hadn�t come to the shore of Lake Tai to leisurely enjoy the scenery.�
What he was looking for was the branch of the Hao clan.
He had something to investigate.
In a bustling city like Lake Tai, there was bound to be a branch of the Hao clan. The only problem was, finding one of their branches was not an easy task.
Some branches are out in the open, while others are tightly hidden. And Lake Tai�s branch seemed to be the latter.
That�s why Pyo-wol had to go through quite a bit of trouble to find it. If Hong Yushin hadn�t told him how to find the Hao clan�s branches, Pyo-wol might have had to waste several more days trying to locate it.
The Hao clan�s Lake Tai branch was interestingly located in a slaughterhouse in the outskirts of Lake Tai. All the meat entering Taeho and the surrounding neighborhoods was slaughtered there
Just approaching the slaughterhouse brought a repulsive stench of blood, and because of that, ordinary people rarely ventured near it.
�Who goes there?�
As soon as Pyo-wol entered, the slaughterhouse�s butchers looked at him warily.
Pyo-wol completely looked out of place.� JrNovels.com
