Although one shouldn't belittle oneself, one must also recognize the strengths of others. Take Sam and Ram, for instance—those former American soldiers.

He hadn't made any money in the military, so he followed Nie Zhao to earn a fortune, just hoping to save up for a few years to return home and buy a farm. Then there’s Ram, a Latino who supposedly offended the Mafia and couldn't stay in his home country, fleeing to Hong Kong to lay low. In a sense, he was seeking refuge from the world.
They were ordinary people, but they were also highly skilled, and their presence was a tremendous asset.
