Black Wind Gap, Gold-Splitting Hall.
Over a dozen bandits were gathered in the great hall, all of them high-ranking members of Drilling Mountain Leopard's gang.
The man in the seat of honor wore a front-opening black robe with a greatcloak draped over it. His face was covered by a tangled beard, and he sat in a folding chair draped with a tiger skin. He was none other than Drilling Mountain Leopard.
Seated below him were Second-in-Command Xu Mabang; key lieutenants like Wang Mazi and Song Heiqi; and other core members of the gang's hierarchy such as the Head of the Horse Stable and the Grain Chief.
Those of lower status could only stand at the back.
"Chieftain, the men sent to the Weisheng Escort Agency and the Changtong Escort Agency have returned. The two agencies paid a combined total of five hundred taels for the mountain passage fee."
A sub-leader reported with a bow.
"Hmph."
Drilling Mountain Leopard nodded. "What about the Tongfu Escort Agency?"
