There was a time when just the thought of Eric Mitchell's name made Harrison Clark's teeth grit.
When he was still powerless, Eric was his nightmare.
Eric taught him a lesson.
The lesson showed Harrison what it looked like when someone who controls the distribution of social resources indulges in power, becomes arrogant, overbearing, and tramples on others' lives and dignity.
In Harrison's ordinary life as an "orphan," he had seen many dark sides of society.
But conflicts in society were either trivial matters or short-lived, intense emotions that led to bloodshed.
It was Eric who taught Harrison about the bullying tactics that could destroy someone's life by merely moving a finger, something he had never experienced before.
Perhaps it was because of Eric's early wake-up call that Harrison realized how important self-discipline was for those in power.
When power is unbridled, destruction follows.
