He was once a member of Huaguo’s most elite SEAL team. After standing by his principles and clashing with his superior, he was kicked out after eight years of service.
After leaving the military, Lu Chuan stayed in Jing City and tried to live an ordinary life. He hauled bricks at construction sites and saw how contractors squeezed migrant workers dry. He worked as a security guard and witnessed residents’ arrogance and the security chief’s fawning. He sold cars and watched the powerful treat rules as if they didn’t apply to them. He gritted his teeth and started a business, only for his partners to conspire against him. In a single night, he was back to zero.
In four years, he fell from the clouds into the mire and saw society for what it was: oppression, arrogance, betrayal, and injustice played out every day against ordinary people. And the places the law couldn’t reach were what people called “the human world.”
Then one day, a mysterious phone call came. Someone knew his past and was willing to give him a new identity. In exchange, he would carry out certain missions for the country, the kind that “couldn’t see the light of day.”
Lu Chuan agreed. But he had one condition: his blade would be wielded for himself first.
And so a hunter working in the shadows began to move. His first target was Qian Jianguo, the contractor who had driven his coworker Lao Zheng’s family to ruin. He wouldn’t kill anyone. He would make everyone who had trampled the rules taste what it was like to be crushed by those same rules: repaying them in their own coin.
This wasn’t a bloody slaughter, but a carefully planned trial. When the law is absent, some people choose to take the stage themselves.
