Power is not just brute force. It is a web woven from the threads of civil law, security and independence. This was a truth Jwe Sung-Jae had learned all his life, from the slums of Seoul to the brothels of Italy.
For a moment, his mind traveled back to Italy. The year spent there was a turning point in his life. After escaping from the underground fights, his life was hanging in the balance. By chance, he stumbled upon the people of the "family" and they offered him attention.
He, as a valuable find, was taken to Italy, where he was welcomed with open arms and taught all the wisdom of running the underworld.
He learned to speak Italian, familiarized himself with traditions and customs. And, of course, he mastered modern effective fighting techniques: boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, muay thai and kali-arnis.
It was there that he realized that strength must not only be respected, but also skillfully controlled.
It was in Italy that he met his future partner Marco.
