All preparations for the bank robbery had been completed: the escape route, getaway car, necessary tools, and backup support—all listed on the small blackboard in the safe house.
The blueprint of Pulito Bank spread across a table, and Pihom marked it with a marker pen, denoting many points of interest.
After a series of intimidation and bribery, both soft and hard, the shops around Pulito Bank would all close their doors that day, and Pihom even specially instructed one store to set up a diesel generator outside to create noise.
Not only that, but Pihom also arranged for assistants, disguised as electricians, to install zipline hooks on both the bank's rooftop and the residential building across the street and had someone put up the ropes at night.
The ultimate objective of this heist was something hidden in the bank by Si's consortium. To prevent Si's consortium from realizing they were being targeted, the operation was to be disguised as a very ordinary bank robbery.
