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!

It seemed like mere pennies, but to people, it signified the difference in class, the meaning of privilege!


A few of the shopkeepers stood before them, not taking a seat, with one who seemed to be their representative stepping forward, "Mr. Burton, the Lance family has stabilized the territory previously left by the Camilla Gang; should we discuss the matter of protection fees now?"
