Chapter: 597
Most of the people who owned houses in Xintian Road were influential people in Chengdu. Among them, there were the owners of the large merchant groups, and there were those who operated the escort services or martial arts.
Thus, Xintian Road became a city for those who had money and power.
As it was a place where influential people in Chengdu lived, the security of Xintian Road was strict. Every alley was lined with warriors standing on the border, making it impossible for anyone with an unknown identity to even enter Xintian Road.
For the people of Chengdu, entering a mansion in Xintian Road has become a dream.
In particular, merchants or those in power who have recently earned a lot of wealth tried to enter Xintian Road.�
However, the number of mansions was limited.�
There were a lot of people who wanted to buy, but no one wanted to sell. Because of this, the mansions of Xintian Road continued to have their prices soared to the sky.
But even within Xintian Road, there was a mansion that was the object of envy. It was a great mansion in the middle of Xintian Road.
Among the luxurious mansions on Xintian Road, the mansion boasting a particularly large scale and high walls was reminiscent of a fortress.
When people saw the red pine tree on the wall of the mansion, they started to call it the Red Villa.2�
Externally, the owner of the Red Villa is known to be Cho Chi-yang, the captain of the Zodiac Division group. However, he only stopped by the Red Villa from time to time, and did not live there. So, people thought of the Red Villa as a separate house for Cho Chi-yang.�
However, the real owner of the Red Villa is actually someone else.
Squeak!
The huge door of the Red Villa opened and a young man entered. The man whose white face stood out even in the dark was Pyo-wol.
As Pyo-wol came in, someone rushed out from inside the mansion. It was a sharp-looking man in his early fifties wearing blue clothing.
As soon as he saw Pyo-wol, he bowed his head deeply.
Pyo-wol nodded and passed by the man. Then the man hurriedly followed behind Pyo-wol.
Pyo-wol strode without hesitation inside the Red Villa as if it were his own home, while the middle-aged man followed with the utmost respectful attitude as if he were Pyo-wol�s servant.
The middle-aged man�s name is Ko Hong-seo.
Pyo-wol called him Steward Go. Steward Go was a reticent man. Him not saying a word while following Pyo-wol showed how reticent he was.
But Steward Go had no choice but to remain silent.
Because his tongue was cut off from the root.
It wasn�t that he didn�t have a tongue in the first place. It was Gu Juyang, the leader of the Blood Shadow Group who had cut off the general�s tongue.
Gu Juyang was a cruel man.
He ran another organization separate from the Blood Shadow Group.
Most knew that assassins accepted requests and collected information directly by themselves. They weren�t wrong, since that was also true for a small group of assassins or assassins who acted alone.
But in order to further increase the Blood Shadow Group, Gu Juyang formed another organization. He gathered them so they would systematically support the assassins. Their task was to gather information and trends of the target.
Gu Juyang had cut off all their tongues to keep their job a secret. That was the reason the general�s tongue was cut off.
Seven years ago, the Blood Shadow Group collapsed, but the group founded by Gu Juyang survived. And so they waited for someone related to the Blood Shadow Group to call them back one day.
In a way, they were nothing more than a legacy left by Gu Juyang. JrNovels.com
