Elric still had a small issue with his plan to take revenge on the attacker, though. His father's influence on the police had almost entirely run out already, and he was only lucky enough to get an officer placed by his family when he was at the bar before.

It was the same with taking a cab. It was impossible to trust a random stranger to hold onto a secret like that.
