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.

Hardy had bought a large amount of land in Las Vegas. After months of acquisition, he now had over 20,000 acres. With the Hardy Grand Hotel's booming business, land prices had started to soar, and his stockpiled land had appreciated significantly.
The 100 acres for building the Venetian Hotel would be purchased from himself, and it wouldn't be cheap.
For the hotel with Mayer, the land would also be bought from his company, as he owned the best land in Las Vegas.
"Previously, I consulted a few friends, and our consensus was an investment of 20 million. Now it seems the investment might need to increase," Mayer said.
"I think it can be set at 50 million," Hardy suggested.
