Determined to protect the martyr's family and defend the innocent, Ares steps forward and subdues the low‑level thugs with a show of force. Yet he soon realises these petty criminals are merely the tip of the iceberg. Behind them lies a sprawling criminal network spanning both legitimate and underworld spheres. Local gangsters run fraudulent schemes and predatory lending businesses, colluding with corrupt police officers, dishonest officials and even moles within the military. This corrupt alliance abuses power for profit and oppresses ordinary people for years. No longer satisfied with resolving just this family crisis, Ares resolutely embarks on a crusade to root out organised crime and official corruption. The criminal syndicate retaliates relentlessly, leveraging their powerful connections to suppress him, smearing his reputation through fabricated public opinion and repeatedly setting deadly traps and launching violent attacks in an attempt to force him into submission.
