Chapter: 296
Thunder gates was said to have perfect control over Jintang County.
To kill the Young Master Nam Hosan, Pyo-wol had to figure out the topography of the area first.
Securing a perfect infiltration route and a safe escape route was the first step in assassination. Pyo-wol studied assassination techniques for seven years, while another seven years were spent learning the Aguido.�
That didn�t mean that his assassination skills have rusted.
The road to Jintang County was well paved. The traffic between the two cities was so heavy that many people filled the streets.
There were a lot of wagons being pulled around and many people carrying different kinds of goods.
Many people in particular came from Jintang County. Since Chengdu is the larger city, the amount of goods coming in towards Jintang County is much higher.
There were so many people moving along the street that no one paid any attention to Pyo-wol. Thanks to this, Pyo-wol was able to arrive in Jintang County with ease.
The first thing he did after arriving at Jintang County was to directly examine the Thunder gates.
The Thunder gate was huge in scale, as if boasting about its prestige.
There were more than two hundred fences surrounding it on all sides, and over a dozen or so huge full-angled roofs above the high fence.
The main gate was large enough to accommodate three or four wagons at once, and at the entrance, about a dozen soldiers stood guard.
At a glance, it was clear that the security was tight.
Pyo-wol slowly walked around the wall, as if he had come out to view the spectacle. There were a lot of people watching with him because the scenery around the Thunder Clan was rumored to be beautiful.
Thanks to this, Pyo-wol was able to look around the Thunder gate without feeling out of place.
�The north looks the most lax, but in truth its security is the tightest. In comparison, since the west border looks perfect, there are a lot of soldiers being carefree. If I want to infiltrate, going through the west side is better.�
He simply didn�t choose the west side just because it was easy to penetrate. It was also a good side for securing an escape route because it was directly connected to the downtown area where there were many small mansions. These buildings would make it easy for him to find a place to hide.
Pyo-wol changed his clothes. It was a garment made of cheap cotton cloth, which was mainly worn by the people of the mansion. He also changed his face a bit.
It is an application of the face changing art he learned from So Gyeoksan a long time ago.
He didn�t even touch his face much. Just a few minor tweaks to change his overall atmosphere.
When Pyo-wol changed his eyes, the atmosphere was completely different from a little while ago.
In his new state, Pyo-wol walked around every corner of the mansion.
The alley was very dirty. Because there are so many people living together, various kinds of filth were overflowing resulting in a bad smell lingering around the area.�
Still, Pyo-wol moved on without a change in his expression. To him, such a smell could not be called a stench.
It took Pyo-wol almost half a day to fully understand the alley.
The thing he cared about the most was the ability of staying inconspicuous. When people feel someone is an outsider, they pay them more attention. That way, these outsiders would be imprinted in people�s memories.
To prevent such a situation, Pyo-wol created the same atmosphere to blend in with the people living in the mansion. This was so that no one walking in the alley could feel the fact that Pyo-wol was actually not from their place.
After familiarizing himself with all the alleys, Pyo-wol returned to his original form and stayed in a guest house near the Thunder gates.
The front door of the Thunder gates was clearly visible from the guest house.
Pyo-wol sat by the window and carefully watched the people entering the front door. As if to show its power and influence, many people visited the Thunder gates. JrNovels.com
