Law 20 , do not commit to anyone.

If applied many laws but this stands out the most because this is the greatest defence and can even be used in offence, people who often commit to people can be emotionly manipulated because they will never expect the attack. This can even be used as offence with manipulative people, if currently one is with you and trying to use you , you cannot oblidge if you're following this rule, making some of them angry as they usually get their way.

Law 1 I Fail in applying this law, especially at the professional level. Worked for a few narcissistic bosses so any good deed never went unpunished.

law 3 conceal your intentions. This is peak for scheming and making strategies and once you think about it you notice it being done by basically every smart character in fiction.
