In an antique shop on the street, the owner with a floral headscarf ended a call, his face bearing an almost imperceptible smile. He took an old notebook and returned to the front desk, his current task was to stall for time.
That call he had made to the Lance family. As an antique shop specializing in buying and selling stolen goods, each store owner had their network within the gangs.
Not everyone could engage in buying and selling stolen goods, even though it might seem simple.
All you needed was a storefront and some cash to do this business, but it wasn't actually that straightforward.
There had been a case where an antique shop owner and his entire family had met their maker. During the day, he dreamt of striking it rich, but by night, his dreams had come to an end because they had taken something they shouldn't have.
