Following a series of events, including a failed attempt to redeem himself by challenging the town's crime lord, Kin spiraled into chaos and destruction. However, a revelation about the demise of his father and family members led Kin to embrace a new persona as Gan Yan-Kin (Bully Kin). He adopted a ruthless attitude, believing that he must treat others poorly to survive. Tsui, the owner of a house sought by Kin, found solace in meeting the honorable Wong Fei-Hung (Dominic Lam). Kin, in an effort to recruit students for his kung-fu school, fabricated stories of his heroism. When faced with a contest against Fei-Hung, Kin resorted to deceit to secure victory. Disillusioned by Fei-Hung's integrity, Kin eventually decided to emulate his honorable ways. Despite criticism from others, Fei-Hung appointed Kin to manage Po Chi Lam, a decision met with skepticism. Kin's attempts to help his peers backfired, leading to further chaos. An incident involving the drugging of Fei-Hung during a lion dancing competition prompted Kin to reconsider his actions and strive to uphold Fei-Hung's legacy. As the story unfolds, Kin's journey towards redemption and acceptance within the community takes unexpected turns.
