Night had fallen, and except for the occasional vagrant or drunk wandering aimlessly by the roadside, hardly anyone could be seen.
Cars were also scarce, with only the occasional police car patrolling or on a mission passing by.
Elijah Hastings parked his car at the entrance to an alley less than 50 meters from the shopping center.
"There are no cameras here, perfect for parking. If we drove any further, the cameras would capture the car. However, on foot, we can bypass them," he explained.
Four people got out of the car, and Sean Knight followed Elijah and the others around a few circles to the rear entrance of the shopping center.
"Boss, this is it," Elijah pointed at the modern-looking shopping center and said, "There are security guards inside, and the front gate is locked. However, there's a back door used for deliveries, we can get in through there."
At the back door, Sean discovered it was just an ordinary rolling gate with a common iron lock.
