Liu Tianming was an orphan who grew up in a welfare institution. The shadow of his parents' early death never dissipated, but it forged the tenacity and fierceness in his bones. In order to realize his simple dream of "seeing the world", he worked three odd jobs to save up for studying abroad, and went to the State University of New York alone in the United States. In order to pay for the high tuition and living expenses, he spent the day in the library reading books, and at night he went into the kitchen of KFC in Queens to wash dishes and deliver food. Although he was wrapped in oil and fatigue, he never gave up his glimmer of hope for the future.
While delivering food late at night, he accidentally stumbled into a fight between the Chinese gang "Long Hsing Society" and a Mexican gang. In order to save an elderly Chinese man who was accidentally injured, he resolved the crisis with his courage and quick wit, but he also attracted the attention of "Uncle Dao", the boss of Lung Hsing Society. At that time, Longxing Society was experiencing internal and external troubles, with numerous internal factions and internal attacks from the Mafia and Latin gangs. Uncle Dao took a fancy to Liu Tianming's calmness, courage, and carefree background, and forcibly roped him into the gang.
From being forced to run errands and collect debts at the beginning, to using the financial knowledge he learned studying abroad to rectify the gang's finances, and using logical thinking to resolve territorial conflicts, Liu Tianming made his way step by step amidst the bloody storm. He does not engage in drugs or harm his compatriots. With the bottom line of "obeying the rules and protecting the Chinese", he integrates the splintered Chinese gangs and resists the oppression of foreign gangs. In the end, he counterattacks from an international student washing dishes to become the leader of the gang that controls the underground order of the Chinese in New York and even the United States. When his power reached its peak, he looked back at where he came from. The old photos of the orphanage and the greasy gloves from KFC became indelible marks in his heart.
