Johan navigated through the bustling market, his eyes scanning the diverse array of stalls and vendors. The air was thick with the aroma of spices and the lively chatter of people engaged in various transactions. Determination etched on his face, he approached different sellers, inquiring about the whereabouts of the underground.
"Hey, you know where I can find the underground around here?" he asked a fruit vendor, who responded with a puzzled expression.
"Nah, mate. You must be new here. We don't really talk about that stuff openly," the vendor replied, glancing nervously around.
Johan frowned, realizing that his straightforward approach wasn't yielding results. He decided to try a different tactic, approaching a group of locals engaged in a spirited conversation.
"Excuse me, folks. I'm looking for the underground. Any idea where I can find it?" he asked, trying to sound casual.
