Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan

As before, Xiao Ke did not immediately resort to any measures, but instead observed the situation first.

Xiao Ke lost three rounds in a row. Yuan Laosan and the other two showed their skills. One coughed to indicate that he wanted a pair of coins, another tapped the table twice with his fingers to indicate that he wanted a pair of bamboo, and a third kicked the table under the table to indicate that he wanted a pair of characters. One of them even ran behind Xiao Ke and gestured to the other three based on his hand.

Yuan Laosan and his two companions were clearly setting a trap to kill Xiao Ke, this pig. They were playing their tricks with practiced ease, unaware that Xiao Ke had seen through everything. In Xiao Ke's eyes, all of this was child's play.

Alright, damn it, I'll let you win a few rounds to taste the sweetness. You guys can cheat, can't you? Three of you exchanging glances, tapping fingers, touching legs. Let's see how good you are. I, Little K, am better.

Starting from the fourth hand, Xiao Ke began to pull off some tricks. His skills improved with practice, and he manipulated the shuffling and stacking of the cards, which Yuan Laosan and the other two could not detect at all.

This time, Xiao Ke didn't flip or pick up the cards in his hand. He just grabbed them and placed them face down in front of him, leaving the people behind him completely dumbfounded.

"Damn it, are you just going to play with us like this, holding your cards down?" Yuan Laosan said.

"What, is this not going to work? I'll just give you the money if you lose," Xiao Ke said.

"Alright, alright, let's see how long you can hold out." Old Yuan lit a cigarette and glanced at Xiao Ke with disdain.

After less than two rounds, when Yuan Laosan played a card, it was a pair of underpants (three of a kind).

"Wait a minute, I won!" Xiao Ke said, taking the three of bamboo and flipping over his cards. He had a pure suit of bamboo plus a pair of sevens. He won quite a bit this round, and Yuan Laosan lost three hundred yuan.

This infuriated Yuan Laosan. He gave the other two a wink, signaling them to use every trick in the book to torment this little Ke to death.

Even if they put in all their effort and used all their skills in playing with women, they were still no match for Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke could easily defeat them with just a fraction of his skill.

In just a few hours, Xiao Ke won more than 20,000 yuan, emptying Yuan Laosan's pockets. Yuan Laosan wanted to continue to fight Xiao Ke with money, but was stopped by his elder brother, Yuan Laoda.

Yuan Laosan's elder brother observed for a while and felt that Xiao Ke was sure to make a move. However, after observing for a long time, he could not find any flaws. So he stopped Yuan Laosan in time. This Xiao Ke was no ordinary person. If Yuan Laosan continued to play, he would lose as much as he had.

"Alright, third brother, that's enough for today. It's too late, and your body can't handle it. Let's play again tomorrow," said the eldest brother, Yuan.

"Brother, I'll play a few more rounds and win back what I lost." Old Yuan looked unwilling to give up.

"That's it, let's call it a day, let's play again tomorrow." Boss Yuan forcefully broke up the game.

"If you don't want to play, then don't play. Anyway, Xiao Ke has already won quite a bit." Xiao Ke put the two stacks of large bills he won into his bag and walked out of the casino with Wang Zhi and Zhang Guangyue.

It was already midnight. Xiao Ke and the others had just left when Yuan Laosan slammed down his mahjong tiles and stormed back to his office in a fit of rage.

Boss Yuan followed him into the office and had one of his underlings call over Boss Yuan.

Here's a brief introduction: the three Yuan brothers had a very clear division of labor when running the casino. The eldest brother was in charge of overall management and maintaining good relationships with superiors and subordinates. The second brother was in charge of security, fighting anyone who caused trouble and robbing anyone who won money. The youngest brother was in charge of setting up scams, specifically targeting "pig butchering" scams within the casino.

When Yuan Laosan saw his elder brother come in, he complained, "Brother, why didn't you let me play a few more rounds? I've never lost this much since we started playing together."

"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Didn't you see that guy has something to do? If you keep playing, you'll only lose more," said the eldest brother, Yuan.

So we're just going to let him win like this?

Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think winning money here is that easy? Just as Old Master Yuan was speaking, Old Master Yuan walked in.

"Second Brother, did you see that short guy and his two companions when we went out just now? They just won over 20,000 from Third Brother. Get a few people to cover all their losses," said Boss Yuan.

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." Yuan Lao Er called over five henchmen who were guarding the place, grabbed large machetes wrapped in tattered newspapers, and ran out.

Yuan Lao Er and his men caught up with Xiao Ke and his group not far away. Xiao Ke and his group turned around when they heard the footsteps behind them.

"Surround them!" Yuan Lao Er gave the order, and his henchmen tore off the newspapers, revealing large, gleaming machetes, and surrounded Xiao Ke and his two companions.

Xiao Ke squinted, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, then took out a lighter and lit it calmly. Damn it, is this guy trying to rip us off? He won the money but won't let us take it?

"Stop talking nonsense! If you know what's good for you, hand over all the money in your pockets, and you'll suffer less." Old Yuan shouted.

At this moment, Zhang Guangyue pulled out a dagger from his pocket, Wang Zhi pulled out a baton from his body, and Xiao Ke took out a dog leash.

"Damn it!" Xiao Ke spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, grabbed the iron chain, and rushed forward. Wang Zhi and Zhang Guangyue also rushed towards Yuan Lao Er and his group without hesitation.

Don't let Xiao Ke's short stature fool you; he's incredibly agile and ruthless. He swung the iron chain directly at Yuan Lao Er's head.

Yuan Lao Er and his group didn't expect Xiao Ke and his group to be so formidable. Three of them charged at six of them without showing any weakness, and they were caught off guard.

Seeing that Xiao Ke's iron chain was about to hit him, Yuan Lao Er suddenly took a step back and used his large broadsword to block it. With a clang, Xiao Ke's iron chain hit Yuan Lao Er's sword, sparks flew everywhere, and Yuan Lao Er staggered back several steps before he could stand still.

One of Yuan Lao Er's henchmen, wielding a large cleaver, slashed at Xiao Ke from behind. Xiao Ke dodged to the side and simultaneously swung his iron chain at the henchman's face. The end of the chain struck the henchman directly in the eye. The henchman screamed in agony, clutching his eye and collapsing to the ground, dark red blood seeping from between his fingers.

When Yuan Lao Er saw how brave Xiao Ke was, he glared at him, swung his large broadsword at Xiao Ke, and started a melee with him.

Then look at Wang Zhi, who was holding a baton. He was no pushover either; he was someone who dared to kill. He swung the baton straight at one of Yuan Lao Er's henchmen, who grabbed a knife to block it.

As the baton and the machete clashed, Wang Zhi raised his right foot and kicked the henchman in the crotch with a loud thud.

The underling who had been kicked glared at the sound of birds chirping in his ears. He instantly dropped the large knife in his hand, clutched his crotch, and collapsed to the ground.

Next, can Xiao Ke and his group of fierce competitors defeat Yuan Lao Er and his gang? Stay tuned for the next episode.
