Jordan Calix Kale, a 34-year-old man, however, wasn't considered just an ordinary man. Having been the almighty J.K, the Mafia Lord of the J.K empire, which happened to be the biggest, most prestigious, and most indomitable Mafia gang in all of the US and even more, he was insurmountable and the most feared human alive.

　　“Sim Cheong! You can't fucking do this to him!”
