Most people are born ordinary, but there are always some who, despite being born ordinary, aspire to greatness.
From an exploited undocumented worker to the godfather of the dark;
From those who obey the rules at the bottom of society, to the emperor behind the scenes who makes the rules;
The country belongs to the federation when the sun shines, but it belongs to me when the night falls!
"Sometimes, shadows can not only be as vast as light but can even cover it!"
"We never extort anyone, every penny we make can pass through our conscience."
If someone knocks on your door at night, they either bring my regards or brings the destruction for your arrogance.
As for what you will get, it depends on how you choose, my friend!

Alberto looked at the confident and young Lance sitting opposite him, and the initially irritable mood gradually settled down.


He took out a cigarette and tossed it to Lance, "There's been something bothering me these past few days, you might not know yet, but our state is planning to join the Prohibition Alliance."


Alberto nodded, "Yes, the Prohibition."


"I have some bars and nightclubs in my hands, places that need a lot of alcohol. If Golden Port City also enforces Prohibition, these businesses are going to be doomed!"


"Since my father's time, we've always been doing this: high-interest loans, selling alcohol, flesh trade, but now they are gradually encroaching on our living space, Lance."


"The year before last, they introduced the 'High-Interest Lending Law.' Now they want to ban us from selling the most profitable alcoholic beverages, and in a few days, they might completely prohibit the flesh trade."
