The setting sun turned the clouds on the horizon a blood-red color as Chen Ke, Jacob, and Little Robut hunkered down at the street corner, staring at the luxurious three-story western-style building in front of them.

They had also scoped out the back just moments before, but due to the tightly constructed spaces between the buildings, there were no alleys to slip through.
