As Laxiang City's foremost mafia boss, Tolan possessed considerable wealth and influence...
Although he could not compare to any of the Ten Old Men who controlled the Ten Districts across the five continents, he still stood head and shoulders above the many mafia families.
His immense wealth and deeply rooted influence in Laxiang City were Tolan's assets.
But those assets also brought him many threats and troubles.
To him, there were many useless people who only knew how to envy him, and quite a few enemies who wanted to sink their teeth into his throat.
Thus, Tolan was extremely meticulous about keeping up appearances in public.
He knew how to read the situation, using various hobbies and common topics as openings to win the favor of people from all walks of life.
The frightening part was—
The hobbies that often became common topics were not merely for show.
He truly immersed himself in them, sparing no effort or time, all so that the road ahead would be smoother.
At the same time, to deal with retaliation from his enemies, Tolan placed great importance on security.
There was no need to mention the car he used when traveling; it possessed top-tier bulletproof capabilities.
Before every trip, he had his men conduct a thorough inspection.
No matter where the car was parked, it had to be guarded by his men.
The mansion where he lived normally had even more layers of protection.
It had a first-rate security system, elite gang members standing guard around the clock, and dozens of large hunting dogs roaming the grounds.
When he had invited Liz to dinner last time, Tolan had sent over a hundred underlings to guard outside the restaurant, with four personal bodyguards stationed at his side.
This showed just how seriously Tolan took security.
