Trent, who seemed the most composed, gripped the steering wheel tighter and took a deep breath. “They aren’t one of the top gangs around here. They’re definitely not the strongest.”
Intrigued by Trent’s explanation, Hannah leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. “Then why do you all seem so worried?”
“They’re troublesome enough,” Keith replied, his expression stern.
Hannah raised an eyebrow. “More troublesome than us?”

Keith gave a weary smile and replied, “Don’t make light of it. Unlike other criminal gangs that find legitimate ways to earn, these guys thrive on clashing over profits or territories. They don’t hesitate to prey on ordinary folks, and they bully weaker gangs into joining them to boost their influence. And if they ever go up against a truly formidable gang, they won’t think twice about sacrificing key resources or items just to keep their heads above water. The Bloody Gang is cruel to outsiders and even crueler to their own.”
As Trent continued driving, he spoke up once Keith had finished.
“Hannah, trust me on this. Stay away from anything to do with Jade Paradise.”
“Indeed.” Keith nodded in agreement. “You should stay away from this. The Bloody Gang is ruthless and deceptive, and they’re involved in every type of crime you can imagine. Getting mixed up with them will only bring endless trouble. Even though we’re not scared of them, it would still be tough to handle if we actually got on their bad side.”
Alessandra chimed in, her voice filled with concern, “The Bloody Gang has connections with the Chadwich family, but they still betrayed them harshly. During their partnership, they initially agreed to share profits 70/30, but the gang leader changed his mind and demanded a 50/50 split. When the Chadwich family refused, they ended up suffering greatly. Now, it’s a 40/60 split in favor of the gang.”
Her eyes glinted with a hint of fear as she added, “The Bloody Gang ended up with 60, and the Chadwich family with 40. They settled the issue quietly.”
Hannah tapped her finger against the window, lost in thought as she listened to them.
The car was filled with silence, the trees outside blurring past.
Keith nudged Trent, signaling him to join in and try to convince Hannah.
After a brief pause, Trent uttered, “You know, there might be another way. We don’t have to go head-to-head with them.”
“It’s just the Bloody Gang,” Hannah responded slowly, a playful spark in her eye. “Why not just take over their hideout? How hard can it be?”
Excitement laced Hannah’s voice, causing Keith to involuntarily swallow.
A nagging suspicion that he was missing something about Hannah crept into his mind.
In the corner, Alessandra had retreated, her eyes wide with fear as she watched Hannah.
It was terrifying.
Luckily, she hadn’t done anything too extreme, and she came around early.
“Well… um..”
Keith’s expression stiffened as he remembered the time Hannah had blown up the den during a standoff at Blackeye.
“Hannah, let’s not do anything rash. If we clash with the criminal gang and drag the Compton family into this, things will get complicated. The six great clans and the gangs have kept the peace for years by staying out of each other’s business. If you take down the Bloody Gang, the other gangs will definitely retaliate.”
Hannah blinked and let out a derisive snort. “If the gang can secretly team up with the Chadwich family and pull off such dirty tricks, why can’t I fight back? There’s no way I’m just standing by!”
