His infiltration skills were used to spy on beautiful women bathing when there was nothing to do, and to gather intelligence when there was a mission.
Sure enough, the merchant had not noticed that someone was following him. He looked around to make sure no one was tailing him, then headed to a small shop.
The shop was tucked away in a secluded location. Even locals would probably have had a hard time finding it.
