A mighty Demon Venerable crosses worlds and lands in the city. His first job: night-shift security guard. Who would have thought that the hardest gate to guard would become the most secure passage in his hands? Factions trying to force their way in, rivals trying to poach his people, and competitors trying to undercut his prices are all made to sit down and negotiate contracts.
"Not one box of a customer's goods goes missing, and not one cent of an employee's wages is late. You want to poach my people? I'll take over your whole company."
The Demon Venerable guards the gate, the Mechanical Emperor builds ramps, the Lord of the Dead runs the dormitory, and the great schemer handles business. A group of ruthless figures who once commanded the wind and rain now dutifully run companies in this city and pay salaries every month.
Before long, the whole city knows: at Wan Shi Xing, even VIPs have to wait in line.
Got a reservation? No? Then wait over there.
