Los Angeles 1980: Starting from the Military Discharge

(PS: It is a pseudo fiction, real people and company names will not appear, except for Hollywood actresses.) 1980, Los Angeles. The traveler opened his eyes and found that he was Sean Miller, a recently retired U. S. Army soldier, with only a discharge certificate and a crumpled twenty dollars in his pocket. Fortunately, he has awakened the [Friend System] - he can see the friendship number above anyone's head, from 0 to 100, at a glance. 0 Is murderous intention, 30 is passerby, 60 is friend, and 90 can be entrusted with life and death. In this era of sharp racial conflicts and constant gang violence, Sean started from the streets and gathered a group of life and death brothers with precise investments of trust. There are ruthless Mexican gangsters, down-and-out Vietnam War veterans, frustrated Jewish accountants on Wall Street, and Irish police officers who have been marginalized by the police department. Starting from Category III movies, he now controls the underground order of the entire South Los Angeles. But Sean's ambitions go far beyond that. He used the gang's money to launder his identity, and used his brother's loyalty to pave the way. Starting as a city councilor, he climbed up the ladder of power step by step. Forty years later, when the veteran who had a gun pointed at his head and could not even pay his rent stood in the Oval Office of the White House and was sworn in, the whole world was asking the same question: "How on earth did he do it?" Sean smiled and glanced at the old brothers beside him who had followed him all the way from the streets. Above their heads, the same number flashed: 100.
