Plot summary

Plot Summary

Leon Taylor takes the blame for his girlfriend Ginny and spends three years in prison. On the day of his release, Ginny shows up with her new boyfriend, Jack, to humiliate him. She also reveals the truth: the real hit-and-run culprit was Jack, and Ginny had been using Leon from the very beginning. But Ginny has no idea that Leon met two godfathers inside Tartarus Prison: the Eastern Taoist master Zhang and the Western gentleman Zeus. The two godfathers taught Leon top-tier martial arts and qigong, then passed the leadership of Elysium to him. Elysium is a mysterious organization standing at the peak of the world, with trillions in assets and the power to manipulate the fate of nations. After inheriting Elysium, Leon discovers that his two godfathers also arranged a marriage for him: an engagement to Emma Bellamy, CEO of the Bellamy Group and the most beautiful woman in the Big Apple. Meanwhile, Ginny and Jack, desperate to attach themselves to the Bellamy Group, keep provoking Leon. Leon finds his parents, who have been tortured by Ginny and the Black Crow Gang for three years, and moves them to a safe place. At the engagement party, Ginny and Jack once again humiliate Leon and his parents, only to be slapped down by Leon in front of everyone. When Richard Foster, the underground emperor of the Big Apple and secretly an agent of Elysium, kneels on one knee and shouts, Chairman, everyone finally learns Leon true identity. Ginny and Jack throw themselves behind Quick, Emma older brother, who is about to return to the Big Apple. Quick is the third-in-command of the Commandment Gang in Mexico. James, the boss of the Black Crow Gang, uses his connections to summon Kai the Nightmare to deal with Leon. But the moment Kai sees Leon, he drops to his knees. Leon once beat him into submission in prison. With no other choice, James uses his treasured Elysium Platinum Card and asks a mid-level member of Elysium to kill Leon. The executor arrives on site. It is Richard. Richard kneels before Leon and swears his loyalty. Leon steps on Jack and coldly watches Ginny, Jack, and James collapse into despair. Power fantasy. The male lead crushes every opponent in his path. He hides his true strength. His enemies think Leon is useless, but he is actually the Chairman of the world most powerful organization.
