McCarthy dropped Su Mo off at the Anmi New District, parked the car at their previous meeting spot, and said, "Call me once you get the item, but if you fail or run out of time, don't bother reaching out."
Su Mo nodded, "Understood."
He went to the parking lot, got on his motorcycle, and rode out of the city towards the Border District overnight.

Su Mo arrived at the "Binhe District" in the Border area. The journey was long and took him over an hour.
According to the information Audiana provided, this area was controlled by the "Eagle Claw Association."
The upcoming theft wouldn't be carried out by Su Mo alone.
If this were in the game "Dawn," players could max out their "Steal" skill, allowing them to steal right in front of NPCs without getting caught.
But that's just a game mechanic effect.
In reality, there's no such thing as "skill points," and squatting in front of someone to steal isn't feasible.
