Fire Island, the docks.
The Clan Leader of the Hundred Needle Family and Biwa, disguised and made up to look like mercenaries, wove through the narrow alleyways.
The alleyways here bore the characteristics of giants, not narrow at all.
The dock's distinctive fishy smell wafted over from time to time.
The Clan Leader and Biwa maneuvered through, occasionally turning and sometimes pausing.
In inconspicuous places, sometimes on the thick wooden doors, other times in moss-covered corners of walls, were inscribed cryptic codes.
These codes looked like children's scribbles, but in reality, they followed a pattern, hinting at the direction ahead.
Following the instructions in the letter, the Clan Leader found this secret mark at the dock and took immediate action.
He was determined to save his son, Zhenjin!
He was the only future of the Hundred Needle Family.
After deciphering more than a dozen codes, finally, the Clan Leader and Biwa stopped in front of the last one.
