The manager didn't have much time to think before a huge commotion erupted nearby. Looking into the distance, he saw a dark, menacing mass of people converging at the street corner.
At this sight, the manager's pupils shrank in shock. "Oh no! It's them!"
Jiang Ce raised his eyebrows. "You know them?"
The manager swallowed hard. "More than know them—he's our old rival. We're finished, completely finished this time..."
Jiang Ce watched the manager's reaction, his eyes half-closed. He gazed toward the approaching crowd, but his reaction was starkly different from the manager's.
Jiang Ce was taken aback at first, but then he chuckled. Aren't these familiar faces?
In the blink of an eye, the menacing group of seventy or eighty people had arrived. They were so ferocious-looking that passersby fled in terror, and other shops immediately shuttered their doors.
