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.
At the headquarters of the Austrian Gang, Hardy and Bill met with Fred. Fred shook hands with both of them, feeling quite sentimental.
Before, Bill was just one of his underlings, a minor leader who didn't rank high. Hardy had only temporarily joined the Austrian Gang. Unexpectedly, within a few months, their statuses had rapidly risen. They had seized control of the Spanish gang's territory and business and were now on equal footing with him.
"Hardy, Bill, I didn't expect you to develop so fast. You quietly took over the Spanish gang's territory and business and established your own gang."
"We are all Mr. Sigel's subordinates and we are a family." Hardy smiled.
Fred smiled, "Yes, we are indeed a family. From now on, we will help each other and deal with the provocations of the Irish and Mexicans together."
"You called earlier to discuss something with me. What is it?" Fred asked.
The three of them sat down.
