    [The Law of Reversal] The day he stepped out of prison, the entire underworld quietly changed hands. "Three years in jail taught me that humanity is inherently evil." He was once a lamb to the slaughter, but in purgatory, his sharp edges were honed. The prisoners taught with violence, the bosses demonstrated with intrigue—until he dismantled the entire rule with his bare hands. When the princess of the underworld empire was pinned against the wall by his wrist, all the guns were instantly pointed at him. She smiled and waved everyone away: "Now, tell me your name." Before, he submitted, earning only scars; now he rebels, and the entire underworld bows down. Those teachers who taught him "human nature is inherently evil" could never have imagined that their final student would surpass them. #FromLambToWolfKing #UnderworldHeiressFallsInLoveWithMe #FightEvilWithEvil
