Sen De La

Under the protection of the Nine Dragons, corrupt officials, greedy corporations, and powerful criminal networks thrived. The Stars and their allies must navigate a world dominated by the Syndicate, where every move against them feels like it's made under the ever-watchful eye of the dragon.
Yet behind the Syndicate’s seemingly impenetrable power, cracks begin to form. Internal power struggles have been settled, and a new generation of successors has risen. But the world is not prepared for what comes next.
As rebellion brews quietly beneath the shadows, a hidden card is played—the ACE of Spades—a covert operation that unknowingly sets the foundation for The Phoenix Project, a global agenda that seeks to burn down the old world and rise anew from its ashes.
The new successors of the Nine Dragons are not just inheritors of legacy; they are architects of chaos. With the precision of visionaries and the ruthlessness of warlords, they manipulate economies, disrupt ecosystems, and infiltrate governments. Their ambitions no longer stop at Southeast Asia—they aim to shape the very future of humanity.
Beneath the dragon’s wing, the world appears calm. But the Stars know better:
This is not the end of the old order.
It is the beginning of something far more dangerous.

The Rise of the Nine Dragons - Under the Dragon's Wings

Zhi Fang had spent his life playing the financial game, outmaneuvering governments, corporations, and criminal rivals alike. But now, even he was running out of options. 


The Nine Dragons were bleeding capital, their assets frozen, their accounts drying up. To survive, they needed a bold move—one that could either restore their dominance or doom them entirely. 


His solution: a high-risk, high-reward investment, an aggressive financial maneuver designed to flood their accounts with fresh liquidity. It was dangerous, reckless even, but if it worked, the Nine Dragons could regain their footing. 


But before the plan could take effect, it was leaked. 


Within hours, investors panicked. Markets tumbled. Anyone still doing business with the Nine Dragons scrambled to distance themselves before the fallout could reach them. 


Across the city, Thalia watched with quiet satisfaction. 


"The right information," she said, "in the right hands… and the whole structure collapses."
