Any godfather you choose afterward isn’t there to protect you; they’re there to use you.

Lü Bu can shout "Righteous Father, look down upon me" wherever he goes because his martial arts are unrivaled. Without this kind of utilitarian value, you'd scream until your throat gives out and no one would answer. If you're not protected from birth, your life is already doomed.

Any so-called backing you find later in life will only want to use you, not protect you. Once you lose your usefulness, they'll dispose of you in a flash—like throwing away dirty gloves.
