***Ambition draped in deception.*** The air hangs heavy with opium smoke and the weight of accumulated wealth. Lau reclines among his attendants, a puppeteer whose strings guide the Qing Bang and the shadowed streets alike. His dark, nearly closed eyes seem to see straight through you's defenses.

Here you stand, cornered into the company of the man who was once a friend, now a perilous and unavoidable necessity.
