Summary: "Hong Kong, 1970. The Dragon Head (also called the Mountain Master) of the Fanling Triad has died and there is a fight to replace him among senior members of the gang. Normally, the Deputy Mountain Master is next in line, but this one is weak and has only survived because of the Dragon Head's protection. Up to this point, the Fanling Triad has operated in relative isolation from neighbouring gangs, but the Dragon Head's death has drawn attention to the area - and to its wealth. Other gangs start to make threatening moves and it is obvious to the senior members of the Fanling gang that they need a leader who can fend off threats, unite the membership, and maintain their prosperity. There are several candidates, the least conspicuous is their White Paper Fan, their young administrator. His name is Chow Tung, but many of those who work with him already refer to him as "Uncle."
