Just Like Water

This world is not only as the public knows it; there is an underworld that ordinary people don't encounter.
Government agents handle troubles in the shadows, while corporate assassins privately deal with issues.
Assassins, mercenaries, arms dealers, and spies exist, along with a dark web that ties this world together, and tycoons who attempt to control everything with money.
Gao Yi entered the underworld, unbeatable in close combat, carving out his own domain.
But there are guns in this world. Beyond seven steps (close combats), guns are faster.
Within seven steps, guns are both accurate and quick.
Only within three steps does Gao Yi's punch become faster.
Unable to beat them, he chose to join them, aiming to rule them all.
To rule everything, become the king of killers in the eyes of mercenaries, the king of spies in the eyes of assassins, the king of killers in the eyes of spies, and the king of intelligence in the eyes of arms dealers.
Until he is crowned king by the entire underworld, Gao Yi is the ultimate firepower.

Ultimate Firepower

The French are quite flexible, a fact that the Germans can testify to; however, the French are also very tough, with the Germans again as witnesses.


Do not look solely at World War II; you must start from the era of Louis XIV to understand an interesting phenomenon about France.


In terms of cunning and deceit, France is not on par with the UK.


In terms of militarism, France definitely does not compare to Russia.


Yet, opportunism, deceit, and combativeness—all these qualities are present in France. They are not outstanding, but sufficient.


The colonial territories might not be as vast as those of the UK, but France managed to conquer half of Africa. It has never been a world hegemon, but it has always been one of the strongest nations.


France always swings between being a first-rate and a second-rate power, looking like it is falling behind but somehow emerging again, looking like it is rising but then somehow being suppressed.
