Empire of Shadows

Most people are born ordinary, but there are always some who, despite being born ordinary, aspire to greatness. From an exploited undocumented worker to the godfather of the dark; From those who obey the rules at the bottom of society, to the emperor behind the scenes who makes the rules; The country belongs to the federation when the sun shines, but it belongs to me when the night falls! "Sometimes, shadows can not only be as vast as light but can even cover it!" "We never extort anyone, every penny we make can pass through our conscience." If someone knocks on your door at night, they either bring my regards or brings the destruction for your arrogance. As for what you will get, it depends on how you choose, my friend!

Chapter 52 The Definition of Happiness

Enio's breathing quickened, and the steady flow of money on the gambling table made his throat itch and his tongue dry.

He had never seen so much money before!

His father was an Imperial man.., longing to rise above others and trying to mimic the Federation people. He only told his children to follow the Federation's laws instead of striving for happiness.

So, for the past twenty years, Enio's life hadn't been blissful; it was filled with poverty and hardship.

But in that moment, when so much money was before him, he instantly understood poverty, understood suffering, and understood the essence of all misfortunes—it was money!

Yes, more money meant more happiness, less money meant more pain; that was an irrefutable truth.

If his father had money, he wouldn't spend his days venting his emotions at home using domestic violence, and his mother wouldn't have left them.
