Humans are social animals. When you accept a gift from the High Table, you must provide your services. This is the social contract.
Looking at those glorious names, each one represents a glorious past. However, time has passed, and the High Table remains. But these names are either on wanted lists or in cemeteries.
So, when I came into this world, I swore that I would never be a killer. Otherwise, one day, someone might kill me for a dog.
Only in the corner where the high table doesn't matter.
Only then can I successfully survive in this world full of calculations. Remember: only the dead are reliable.
So, I will move about the world as a scavenger, offering my loyalty, and I will obey if you require, and I will continue to obey.
So said the famous good fellow, the street sweeper who charged the highest price.
The life of Wall Street's most legendary short.
During the Battle of Los Angeles, illegal immigrant Chen Ping died unexpectedly.
With deep resentment, Chen Ping was reborn in America in 1891 and possessed the body of a 14-year-old white boy named Larry Livingston.
His lack of historical knowledge in his previous life and this premature rebirth left him completely unable to seize the opportunities of the times.
But he always felt that he was extraordinary and that he should be a legend.
A voice told him:
Go to Wall Street, that is your battlefield...
38 years later, in 1929, Larry Livingston became a legendary trader feared by Wall Street. He single-handedly planned the U.S. stock market crash and the economic crisis that swept the world!
Everyone who went bankrupt because of Livingston cursed him to go to hell.
But Livingston said,
"Hell? I am the devil who returned from hell. I am the ghost that roams over the capitalist world! Tonight, I want to hear the sound of kneecaps cracking all over Wall Street!"
(Rebirth + endless war in the financial market + a little disturbance of history = the life of a legendary Wall Street short)
(By the way, this article should probably be placed in the [Fan Fiction] category)

Location: San Francisco Time: 1924… He could load a Winchester lever-action rifle with one hand. He was an expert in American Iaijutsu. His Mozambique shooting was simply divine.

Matthew: Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Los Angeles, just got off the time machine. Feeling great, getting ready to draw my gun. Free America, shooting every day.

Police lights on, carefree; as long as you're bold, seven days off a week; two shots to the chest, one to the head, even Jesus would shake his head. "Matthew, do you ever doubt that you're actually a bad guy?" "I never doubt it. This city needs bad guys; only we can keep the real scum out." Pray to God for mercy; I'm only responsible for liberation.
