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.
After taking over the Spanish territory, Hardy had new plans. He joined the gang for development, but his aspirations were not limited to just being a Los Angeles gang boss.
The 1930s to 1950s were the golden age of gangs.
Many big shots dominated the scene.
However, in the following years, the government intensified its crackdown, crushing the momentum of the gangs, making significant development difficult.
One by one, families were wiped out, unable to enter mainstream society.
A certain magazine once ranked the 50 most powerful gang leaders in the United States. But decades later, most of these individuals were either imprisoned or dead, with only a few surviving.
Hardy sought more than temporary glory.
As a time traveler, he understood the changes in future societal development. There were plenty of opportunities to make money and progress, and he had no intention of remaining in the underworld.
