Si Kaide

Si Kaide is Si Kaide appears to be a pivotal figure in the Black Dragon Society, operating within Jiangnan—a region encompassing key cities like Nanjing, Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Songjiang (including Shanghai County).

"Chapter 602 - The Printing Factory The most important piece of equipment in the print shop was the high-speed mimeograph machine. As for the several EPSON 24-pin dot matrix printers, they had been extremely important in the early days—many stencils for mimeographing had been printed using those printers back then.
