"I never thought there'd be anyone in this world more ruthless than our Leopard Gang."
Hearing the students' words, one bandit let out a long sigh. "Looks like Xia Ping is everyone's enemy. He'll end up a wanted criminal sooner or later. Maybe one day he'll be even more notorious—and more ruthless—than us."
