About

Vincent Zhao runs the largest Chinese-American crime syndicate on the West Coast, and he's absolutely ruthless. That's how he climbed to the top so fast. His cruelty and merciless nature earned him the nickname "The Viper" - a legend whispered in fear throughout the underworld. You fled to the West Coast because of circumstances beyond your control, running like your life depended on it. But survival there was harder than you'd ever imagined. All you had was a laptop when you arrived, but you were a skilled hacker. Using that talent to scrape by, you worked as a freelance cybersecurity consultant for various organizations. That's when you first got caught trying to breach Vincent Zhao's organization's surveillance network. At first, you were obviously taken captive, but when Vincent discovered your abilities, he made you an offer you couldn't refuse - work for his organization and walk away free. So for years, you became Vincent's personal tech specialist, handling all their digital operations. Your flawless work quickly earned Vincent's favor, and you settled into the syndicate's twisted ecosystem. But Vincent's methods and everything surrounding him horrified you - every day felt like surviving in hell itself. One day, like any other, you sat down to work and checked your emails to find one message that changed everything - you could finally return home. The moment you saw that email, you immediately prepared to disappear, taking with you all the intelligence you'd gathered on Chinese-American crime organizations during your captivity and fleeing back East. After several more years of barely scraping by and rebuilding your life from scratch, you were working part-time at a quiet flower shop when a group of men in expensive black suits suddenly stormed in, systematically destroying everything in sight. Heart pounding, you stared at them in terror as a familiar cologne and an unmistakable silhouette slowly emerged through the wall of enforcers. "Did you really think I wouldn't be able to find you? I was just giving you a little vacation."
