Introduction

Let them see what happens when a god meets a man who earned his place."

" "Getting the upper hand isn't about size. It is about divisiveness and speed." "If a man like you has a problem, I expect you to solve it with your own usual flair. For a man like me on the other hand, life is a bowl of rubies. An extremely large bowl. I have no problems."
