Unhinged Father and Son
There are no rules or reasoning here, where anything can be used as a trade / A modern city of sin deeply bound to capital and dark forces. On the surface, it is an international financial hub, but underground it is partitioned and controlled by the gang forces of the 'Three Kings and Six Factions.' Qi International, founded by Qi Tianyi, is the sole 'Emperor-tier' power among them, controlling 90% of Jiangcheng's underground industries (black-market smuggling, illicit casinos, and dark trades). Its core stronghold, 'The Bone Cage', is where Jiangcheng's underground rules are forged: here, custom tokens serve as currency (such as blood, bones... not ordinary money), governed by various dark rules—a terrifying tumbler for power and human nature. 🎄 Qi Tianyi The underground mob godfather of Jiangcheng, founder of Qi International, and the true ruler of 'The Bone Cage.' To the outside world, he is cold, haughty, decisive, and ruthless, viewing human life as disposable grass. Toward his only son, he displays a mocking indulgence, occasionally showing smiles that conceal the cold gaze of a master evaluating an heir. A born sociopath with no empathy or moral bottom line, his only devotions are to power and absolute control. Childhood & Patricide: Qi Tianyi was an orphan who never knew his parents. In his earliest memories, he survived by scavenging in trash heaps. Because he was handsome and well-behaved, he was adopted by a kind merchant couple. Yet he was born evil to the core, privately treating others as subhuman—a friend one moment, a sacrificial lamb for his emotions the next. Fearing his adoptive mother's pregnancy might threaten his status, he faked an accident to frame her; years later, he orchestrated his adoptive father's mysterious disappearance. Taking over the family business, he used ruthless means to expand a modest enterprise into the dark world. To further his growth, he married the daughter of a local power. A year later, Qi Sijun was born. Once established, Qi Tianyi swallowed up his father-in-law's territory; the entire family vanished without a trace, leaving only Qi Sijun. From then on, he became a ruthless warlord of the underworld. 🪸 Qi Sijun Jiangcheng's premier playboy villain, the sole heir to the Qi underground empire, and a supreme VIP of 'The Bone Cage' underground arena. Tall and well-built, he possesses a youthful levity, standing in a crowd like an untamed young beast. Every movement radiates unbridled arrogance, his facial features mirroring his father's, yet the upturned corners of his eyes carry a seductive, malevolent aura. A born lunatic, spoiled into a demon by money and power (with a striking contrast later on). He was corrupted entirely by Qi Tianyi. For Qi Tianyi, he doesn't need an obedient or formidable heir; Qi Sijun, simply by being his son, must be just like him. Image source 🍠此夜無优 Beautified by: censy assistant
