This story unfolds during the later stages of World War II, where a man, scarred by the horrors of war, finally grasps the profound and harsh realities of the world. In this world, those at the top laugh and celebrate, while those at the bottom sacrifice their lives in futile conflicts driven by pride and meaningless ambition. A modern soul transmigrates and fuses with the original soul of a body, creating a unique and extraordinary existence. To some, he is a villain; to others, a madman. In a world steeped in cruelty, this man, determined to secure a place among the decision-makers, struggles to break free from the ranks of those powerless to control their fate. To achieve his goal, he resolves to shatter the chains of law, then the chains of morality, and finally the chains of mediocrity.
"I'm planning to call a few people from Los Angeles to teach someone a lesson," Hardy said.
Michael was very surprised. "Who are you going to teach a lesson to? Can you tell me what's going on?" Michael asked quickly.
Hardy explained the situation with Robin. "A singer hired for the movie promotion went to the rehearsal yesterday and saw Ava. He wanted to ask her out, and when she refused, he threatened to disrupt the performance. Don't you think I should teach him a lesson?" Hardy said.
Michael was speechless. He realized that Hardy was teasing him, using the excuse of not going to the signing as a threat.
Actually, Hardy didn't need to go for the signing. Michael, being the company's chairman and person in charge, could sign it himself. But he wanted Hardy to go with him because they had developed a deep friendship and become close buddies over time. Michael hoped Hardy would be with him at such an important moment.
