Waking up in a frail body that weighs barely sixty-five kilograms, Maximus immediately faces a knife-wielding assassin dressed in black inside his hospital room. He disarms the attacker using his old combat instincts, twisting the man's arm and breaking his elbow, but his knuckles throb with intense pain, proving this teenage form lacks his former strength. His personal guard, Aron Heart, who is actually his adopted brother, reveals that Max must attend a high-society Stern family gala. The transition from the streets to the upper echelon is jarring. The Stern family mansion is a fairytale estate protected by armed guards, but the internal politics are toxic. His aunt Karen and aunt Masha mock his deceased parents, while his cousin Chad treats him like a servant, demanding he fetch wine from the kitchen. Cousin Donto joins the torment, calling Aron a disloyal dog who deserves to become a stray. When Max returns with the drinks, Chad deliberately steps on a waiter's heel, sending six glasses of champagne drenching Max from head to toe. Max abandons his submissive act and drives his fist hard into the side of Chad's face, sending him crashing to the floor. This prompts Aunt Karen to go on a screaming frenzy, slapping Max and then brutally beating Aron with a walking stick until his face swells and bleeds. Aron stands his ground as a silent human shield, refusing to let Max get hurt. The chaos is silenced by the arrival of the family patriarch, Dennis Stern. Instead of punishing Max, the ruthless tycoon smiles at the boy's sudden fire, seeing him as the first real fighter in the Stern lineage. Dennis confirms the rules of the inheritance game, leaving Max with an untouched billion-dollar balance. Max has went from street-level bullets to corporate billions, but the mystery of why his predecessor chose to starve in a slum remains unsolved.

Operating under the alias Max Smith at Ri Warrior Public School, Max tries to blend in, but the environment is a breeding ground for delinquents who wear untucked shirts and hiked skirts. The bullying from Ko, Joe, and Mo is relentless, involving constant mockery, thumbtacks on chairs, and physical abuse. His only friendly classmate, a heavy-set boy named Sam, tries to save him by alerting a science teacher when Joe drags Max to the music storage room. The retaliation from the bullies is devastating. Ko and his goons invade Sam's parents' small barbecue skewer restaurant, consuming free food before tricking the parents into serving them underage alcohol. Ko then calls the police, resulting in a ten-thousand-dollar fine and the revocation of the restaurant's operating license. Devastated by the financial ruin of his family, Sam climbs to the roof of a six-story building and jumps to his death. When Max hears of Sam's suicide, his guilt turns into pure gangster rage, realizing Sam died because he tried to help him. Max corners Joe in the music storage room, easily dodging his sloppy punches, and snaps his finger with a sickening crunch. Max forces Joe to become his double agent for five hundred dollars a month, paid via E-wallet. Through Joe, Max discovers that the school's top delinquent, Dipter, is ordering the bullying on behalf of an external client. The police investigation is quickly swept under the rug by Odin Law Firm, a premier legal team hired by the conspirators to protect the bullies. Max realizes that the law cannot help him in this corrupt system. He must use his own methods to extract justice, starting with the recruitment of a personal army.

To wage war against Dipter's delinquent army, Max needs muscle. He pays Stevan Strong ten thousand dollars a month to keep his failing boxing gym open for private training, pushing his weak body to its absolute limits through intense weight training and heavy bag drills. He then recruits Wolf and the Pit street gang, offering them cash to act as his security. The confrontation explodes at an abandoned development site surrounded by tall metal barriers, known as the cage. Fifty students armed with metal pipes, bats, and bike chains charge them. Wolf and his gang handle the bulk of the fighters, but Max must face Dipter one-on-one. Max fights with clinical precision, using his boot to crush jaws, but Snide manages to drive a blade deep into Max's shoulder. The physical pain triggers traumatic memories of his previous death, causing his hands to shake uncontrollably as blood soaks his shirt. Just as the mob closes in to finish him, the massive Jay Woods betrays Dipter's orders, pulling Max to safety and lying to the crowd to redirect their pursuit. Jay respects Max's refusal to betray those who help him. The police arrive, but instead of arresting Max, they let him and the Pit members walk away without taking statements, arresting Dipter instead. Max discovers that Odin Law Firm has stepped in to protect the delinquents, a premier legal team that only the wealthiest elite could afford. Max realizes that Chad is the one funding these high school thugs to keep him physically broken and mentally isolated, ensuring he can never claim his inheritance. This revelation changes his entire strategy, forcing him to take the fight directly to the Stern family's doorstep.

The battlefield shifts to a high-society charity auction hosted by the family of his ex-fiancée, Sheri Curts. Max arrives in a cheap suit with a red shirt, accompanied by Aron. Before the gala, Chad attempts to frame Max for theft at a luxury mall owned by Aunt Karen, but Max outsmarts the security setup by forcing the guards to test their own faulty scanner machines, turning the public embarrassment back onto his aunt's business. At the gala, Max confronts Sheri, offering to clear her family's failing milk tea business debt if she chooses to walk away from Chad's manipulation. Meanwhile, Dipter's arrest in juvenile detention sends Chad into a frantic panic, realizing his proxy army has fallen. Max realizes the original Max's money was kept hostage because Chad threatened the life of Abby, the only girl who genuinely cared for him. To protect his allies and prepare for his eventual war against his old gang, the White Tigers, Max officially founds the Billion Bloodline. He turns Stevan's gym into a recruitment ground, placing Jay Woods in charge of training a new generation of loyal fighters. The node ends on the ultimate cliffhanger, as Dennis Stern's assistant, Fred, announces that a representative from the White Tiger Gang has just arrived at the Stern Manor for a private meeting, linking Max's past life of crime directly to his new family's corporate empire. Max realizes that his old gang is not just a street-level threat, but a tool used by the ultra-wealthy to settle corporate disputes. To survive, he must unite his street-fighting expertise with his newly unlocked billions before the White Tigers discover his true identity.
