| − | | + | |
| − | The multimillionaire Nerio Winch has officially drowned. At the head of the financial empire, the Group W, his death is forcibly suspicious. An unexpected heir then surfaces: Largo, adopted secretly by Nerio.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | While Nerio's yacht sails one evening near Hong Kong, a diver comes into sight and catches the businessman to draw him away under the water and drowns him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The same day, Largo comes in a village of Mato Grosso to make a tattoo which will make him invincible. Hearing the cries of a woman, Léa, he intervenes and comes to fight with suspicious policemen.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Largo manages to run away with Léa. Later, they make love. Taking advantage of Largo's sleep, Léa injects him with a drug. Policemen come to stop Largo, poisoned, and discover sachets of drug. The chief of the policemen announces him that he will pass 50 years of his life in prison.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A policeman comes to get Largo in his cell the following day. This one, pretending to be unconscious, manages to get the revolver from the policeman and to lock him up, him and his team mate. Largo heads for the office of the chief of the policemen and discovers Freddy, a loyal supporter of Nerio buying his freedom and announces him the death of Nerio. Largo refuses his assistance and stuns the leader of the policemen. The two run away.

| − | | + | |
| − | Freddy and Largo take over a van and break down the steel door after having destroyed two cars and two motorcycles, while policemen fire shots in their direction. While they take a slope down, Largo realizes that the brakes of their vehicle don't work any more. They avoid a truck by chance, lower down, they hit the ledge of the road and their vehicle makes barrels, stopping on the roadway.

| − | | + | |
| − | The truck which they just missed goes down towards them. Largo climbs out of the van and has to help Freddy to climb out of it. A split second later, the truck mows their van.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The following day, the two meet in Hong Kong, where Largo must be officially introduced as the heir of the Group W. At the same time, the senior managements of the group discuss the future of the conglomerate, the biggest to have been kept by a single person. Ann Ferguson makes the announcement that there is a heir of whom she heard for the first time the former day.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | While senior managements discuss, Largo is introduced to them. The higher staff question him, unable to accept that such a young person could take the reins of such a financial empire. A society's top graded gets into the meeting room to warn Largo, but he is slaughtered by a shooter from a room concealed by a tinted window pane. Largo runs after the shooter and finds himself in a luxurious room. He is taken by the leader of security, Stephan Marcus who immediately realizes his error. The killer seems to have disappeared.

| − | Largo learns that the Group W is discreetly going through a hostile takeover bid. To counter it, Ferguson offers to take over Korsky's group in a couple of days. For this operation to succeed, the group must borrow 3 thousand millions USD, what is seen as impossible since he is in a precarious situation and must announce publicly his intention of doing it, that will allow Korsky to become less vulnerable.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Ferguson points out that an individual can throw a hostile takeover bid without making it public. Largo can possibly borrow 3 thousand millions USD by putting in guarantee his shares of the Group W. On the contrary, one still discusses for the legitimacy of Largo as successor. He maintains that he will be back in 24 hours with the parts of the group, which are officially registered in Liechtenstein.
