Florence, Italy.
The Mu Family Residence.
In the past, this house was the main house of the Mu Family. But after Mu Liang took over, he wanted to move their head house to France. He planned to do that to give his elders some peace and space.
Mu Liang, as the eldest, had the duty towards his family. But it wasn't out of duty but he really cared about his family. His family always took care of him and had put him and his brothers before work. So when he was the head of Mu Corporation, he just wanted them to relax.
------
Ten years back.
Mu Liang was only eighteen years old when his father, Mu Jin fell sick after the car accident. It was during this time the whole Mu Family went upside down.
From the outside, it looked very normal and cordial, but internally every single member of the Mu Family was fighting and clawing for the throne of the Mu Corporation.
All the cousins of Mu Jin were highly potential like him and their cunning moves were quite impossible to handle because no matter what they did, they never left even the tiniest sliver of evidence behind.
Their only fault was they underestimated their eighteen years old nephew who already had the European Underworld under his clutch. It was a tradition that the one who took the throne of the Mu Family would become the King of the European underworld. So they never would have thought that the Elder would trick them this way.
In the normal circumstances, Mu Jin would have been the King but Mu Cheng, the Elder, didn't let him handle due to his poor health. Mu Cheng was used to managing the underworld and he let his favorite grandson to help him. Then secretly with Mu Liang's consent, Grandpa Mu Cheng made him the King of the European Underworld.
-----------------------------
Mu Cheng was the eldest son in his family. Unlike many others in his family, he had great foresight. When his father made Mu Cheng the head of the Mu Household, Mu Cheng could feel his five brothers' jealousy and enviousness. So he was practically determined to have only one son in his life.
Mu Cheng married his long-time crush Mu Ling who was practically his younger uncle's beloved daughter. That made the whole Mu Household uproar because every cousin and brother of Mu Cheng had a secret crush on her. Mu Ling was her father's only child and her father had no objection in this marriage. Not only Mu Cheng was head of the household, but Mu Ling also loved him since they were children.
People are born with love, hate, and greed. Some people are greedy for love, some are greedy for jewels, some are greedy for money and some are greedy for powers.
The same thing happened in the Mu Family. Normally, the harmonious family turned a family of scheming.
After marriage, Mu Ling gave birth to a healthy son, whom they named Mu Jin. Everything was going well until Mu Cheng's second cousin's wife poisoned Mu Jin. Mu Cheng whipped out his second cousin's whole family including cousin and cousin-in-law's parental family.
His wrath was quite frightening but since then no one dared to lay a finger on his family. Though Mu Cheng punished the sinner, his only son Mu Jin had weak health than on.
