Storyline

Act 1

• Prologue: Arriving at Goldbay City, the protagonist meets with an old friend of his, who gives him the details about the neighborhood and how the crime boss here is an amateur and easily replaceable.

• Street Showdown: The bar takeover was noticed by the gang leader, who now seeks to end you permanently. With your newly-acquired "associates", show him that you're not to be messed with.
• First Cut of the Cake: With your rival defeated and his thugs scared, get what's left of his gang and dominate the rest of the district, assigning people to different positions and showing your influence.

• Fierceness: Deal with the loose ends and enemies you've gotten so far, and go to your first Underworld Meeting.

• Stalking the Prey: Follow Susan to her Triad boyfriend's safehouse, shoot the place up, and snatch her for the ransom.
• Bull at a China Town: Go with Rouston to Eddie Kang, a more tactical Triad member, to discuss a possible alliance to make the deal easier and possibly take down Hsang-Si, the wretched Triad boss.
• Crossed Daggers: Disguise yourself to infiltrate the Crimson Dragon Restaurant with Eddie and steal some of Hsang-Si's private documents and blackmail.
• The Deal: Time to make the deal, meet Rouston at the Docks to trade the girl to Hsang-Si for money, with his incriminating documents as insurance.
• A Savage Soul: Chase Hsang-Si to his slaughterhouse and deal with him for good.
