Cedrick was not as lucky as Anthony, who had someone that he could scrounge off, but thankfully, with his career as the gentleman, the hotel that he stayed at was quite luxurious. When he was called on the phone by Anthony, he had been sight-seeing around San Lin City. Even though there was nothing to see in the city, it was fine getting to know the bus routes and which roads inaccessible.
The reason outsiders lost to locals—other than the lack of connections—was because they were not familiar with the environment. It would truly be laughable if a renowned thief was held up by some construction during a getaway.
Cedrick had always been careful, so the first thing he did when he arrived at a new place was familiarize himself with the surroundings. Just as he was masquerading as a backpacking youth, Anthony's call came.
