In his previous life, the young heir of a powerful family was robbed of his power and drowned at sea. When he opens his eyes again, he is back in 1970, a chaotic era when a chief inspector rules with an iron fist and gangs run rampant across Kowloon. He has neither money nor influence, and enemies are hunting him down. No problem: his mind is packed with details of every gang war in Hong Kong, every stock market upheaval, and every major police-and-gangland case from the next thirty years!
While others are fighting to the death over protection money from a single street, he has already beaten the legendary Lai Hao to his supply, schemed to swallow his rivals’ real estate, and secretly built up his own gang of elite enforcers. Lei Luo wants to treat him like a chamber pot? Sorry, by tomorrow, the Four Great Inspectors will have to make way for someone new!
From the hidden emperor of Kowloon Walled City to a Justice of the Peace spanning the worlds of politics, business, and organized crime. Years later, when reporters interview him atop Victoria Peak, he taps the ash from his cigar and says, “Hong Kong has only one rule: the one I make.”
I feel like I was a student watching bad guys in the dormitory!
It has a strong flavor of Hong Kong style, full of details from that era, and the protagonist is not invincible. I suggest that the author could incorporate some classic scenes from Hong Kong movies, which would be better. Overall, it's pretty good!
It's a very interesting novel, with ideas but not brainless. I hope the author will add more chapters every day! Not enough!
