Five Kings of Thieves (2024)
In the early years of the Republic of China, as Western knowledge spread to the East, various natural science research institutions emerged. Among them, the Five Great Families, with their long-standing and prestigious origins, divide responsibilities based on industry characteristics, geographical locations, emphasis on traditional culture, and family resources. They collaborate and coordinate their efforts according to their corresponding Five Elements. Legend has it that the Supreme King Ding of the Five Elements seals a mysterious power within it. Whoever obtains this power can command the martial arts world and unify it. The Ding has always been guarded by the Five Great Families, who use a unique secret method to seal the opening instruction inside the Jade Embryo Bead. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, after a fierce battle, the whereabouts of the Supreme King Ding became unknown. Twenty years later in Fengtian, the Jade Embryo Bead appears, and various forces are stirred into action. Huo Xiaoxie, a street orphan, is exploited and becomes involved unexpectedly.
