[Fast-paced, so thrilling it’ll have you stomping your feet. Read along with some music.]
“Take it off. Don’t make a sound!”
In a broken-down cave dwelling during the famine of the 1970s, Lin Yan has barely opened his eyes when a cold, bloodstained bayonet presses against his artery.
Outside, a tyrant’s footsteps draw closer as he searches the mountain for people to capture.
“Make one sound, and I’ll drag you to hell with me.”
Lin Yan laughs. In his previous life, he was the top fixer for a financial conglomerate, and now a wildcat has pounced on him? He suddenly rolls over, pinning the woman against the earthen wall. “Using me as a human shield? Fine. You can repay this toll with the rest of your life!”
…
In this chaotic age of war, while everyone else dutifully farms, Lin Yan takes this prickly wild rose at his side and builds a black-market trade association. He gathers a band of brothers ready to die for him, cutting down anyone in his way and feasting as he goes!
He thinks they’ll be a pair of notorious partners for life. Until the day his power first takes shape, when his most trusted brother joins forces with a villain whose influence reaches everywhere to lay a death trap with no way out.
To save him and the lives of hundreds of his brothers, the woman who had shared his hard times shoots him through the chest in front of everyone!
“Lin Yan, I’m taking your empire. Your life or death has nothing to do with me anymore!”
The whole internet condemns her as a heartless wife who ran off with the money.
Until Lin Yan wakes up in the emergency room and finds a blood-soaked note tucked into the lining of his bloodied clothes: “The muzzle was one inch to the left. The bullet missed your heart. I’m going into the wolf’s den to buy you three years. Stay alive, and don’t look for me…”
At that moment, the fiercest man in this wasteland lets out a beastlike roar, his eyes bloodshot!
“To hell with keeping my head down! Get the brothers together and slaughter them all! I’ll punch a hole in the sky itself if that’s what it takes to bring my wife home!”
Looks good! Awesome
