"----!?"
When that glaring crimson entered everyone's eyes, it was not only Gohwa, Kamijo Touma, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu who froze. Even the operators of the Powered Suits, who had been frantically dealing with Fang Li's slaughtering assault, were stunned.

"Or should I call you a book-stealing rat?"
There was no contempt or disdain in his words, yet his flippant manner made it feel as though he were deliberately mocking them.
However, Fang Li ignored the man deliberately
