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

Once the small gang was formed, it was time to start making money. Xiao Ke heard that there was a big gambling den in Daowai, so he wanted to take Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang to try their luck.

This time, Xiao Ke applied hair wax to his hair, making his head shiny and smooth, just like the hairstyle of Chow Yun-fat in the God of Gamblers movie, with his hair slicked back, looking quite impressive.

Zhang Guangyue was puzzled and asked, "Brother, why are you straightening your head so much? We're going to gamble, not to go on a blind date."

"You don't know anything, you'll find out when the time comes." After saying that, Xiao Ke led them to the casino.

Last time when Xiao Ke was playing cards, didn't he cut a groove in his fingernail? When no one was looking, he lightly scratched it on the card to make a mark.

This time, he used hair wax, not to look cool like Chow Yun-fat. With his appearance, he wouldn't dare compare himself to him. He used hair wax to mark his cards.

When the four of them arrived at the casino, they saw that the place was not very big and there weren't many games available, just one game of Texas Hold'em and one game of Mahjong, but the stakes were quite high and the room was packed with people.

Since he was already there, he decided to play his cards. Xiao Ke rolled up his sleeves and walked over to the poker table. He took out a stack of ten-yuan bills from his pocket, slammed them on the table, and said, "Come on, let me play a few rounds too."

The five or six people playing at the table didn't recognize Xiao Ke and his friends. They looked a bit unfamiliar with him. Seeing that he was quite generous and slapped 10,000 yuan on the table right away, they all glared at Xiao Ke, thinking to themselves, "Where did this sucker come from? He's here to be slaughtered, to give them money."

What they didn't know was that in Xiao Ke's eyes, they were the real pigs waiting to be slaughtered. Come on, let's start killing them.

After playing a couple of rounds, Xiao Ke started touching his temples and using some wax in his hand to mark the cards.

Once the cards were marked, Xiao Ke started blindly calling without looking at them. The money on his table gradually increased, while the money on the other people's tables gradually decreased.

Gambling is all about cheating, and it's all about knowing when to stop. But gamblers don't have that skill; they're always trying to keep winning when they win and trying to win back what they've lost.

The result is often that those who want to keep winning don't continue winning, but instead lose all their initial capital. Those who want to win back their losses only stop when they've lost everything.

That's why there's the old saying: "Nine out of ten gamblers lose; not gambling is the way to win."

After dozens of rounds, the players at the table were starting to feel the strain, and some, seeing that they didn't have many cards left, gave up.

At this moment, a young man named Wang Quan, who was sitting next to Xiao Ke, continued to play, still not convinced. Before Xiao Ke came up, he had won quite a lot of money, but since Xiao Ke came up, all the money he had won had been lost, and now he had even lost a lot of his initial investment.

"Damn it, I don't believe he can stay stubborn forever. What's wrong with my hands right now? They smell like my mom touched menstrual blood, so stinky." Wang Quan thought to himself. What he didn't know was that Xiao Ke had already resorted to tricks, and he was bound to lose whatever amount he had.

After playing for about an hour, Wang Quan lost all his cards. He threw down the last hand, stood up angrily, glared at Xiao Ke, and said, "Damn it, what bad luck!"

After losing all his money, Wang Quan didn't leave. Instead, he borrowed some money from the boss and continued playing mahjong, while Xiao Ke continued to play poker.

After playing for several more hours, Xiao Ke had basically wiped out most of the players in the Texas Hold'em game. No one dared to play with him anymore. Some players knew that Xiao Ke was using tricks, but they just couldn't see it. They had no tricks up their sleeves and could only accept their bad luck.

Wang Quan, who was playing mahjong, also won a lot of money, basically winning back all the money he had lost in Texas Hold'em. He was very happy and thought that his luck had turned around again.

By this time, one of the people playing mahjong with Wang Quan had almost lost all his money. He pushed his tiles aside, said, "Damn it, I'm not playing anymore, I'm out of money," and left.

As soon as that person left, Xiao Ke plopped down and said, "I'm done playing over there, let's try a few rounds of mahjong."

"Go ahead and play," Wang Quan thought. "You're good at Texas Hold'em, but not so much at Mahjong. I'm on a winning streak. You've won so much from me before, and now you're going to lose it all back."

After a few rounds of playing, things didn't go as Wang Quan had expected. Xiao Ke lost a few small hands but won all the big hands, either pairs, pure suits, or thirteen orphans, always picking the big hands to win.

As Wang Quan watched the money on his table dwindle, he started to lose his composure. He thought to himself, "This guy is a damn jinx. He's here to bring me bad luck today."

"Hey buddy, why do you always pick the big hands? You're not hiding any tiles, are you?" Wang Quan asked, staring at Xiao Ke.

"Damn it, we're all about cleanliness when we play cards. If you're accusing me of hiding my cards, then I'll just take off my clothes, okay?" Xiao Ke said, taking off his shirt and continuing to play shirtless.

Since everyone was shirtless, Wang Quan couldn't find anything wrong with them, so he continued fighting with Xiao Ke.

Seeing that Wang Quan was not convinced, Xiao Ke deliberately messed with him. Before long, Wang Quan had lost all the money on his table.

Wang Quan was furious. He stood up abruptly, grabbed a mahjong tile, slammed it on the table, pointed at Xiao Ke, and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you definitely cheated! How come you win every time you play?"

"Brother, that's not right. We need evidence to back up our words. Don't ruin my reputation," Xiao Ke said, sitting steadily in his chair.

"Damn it!" Wang Quan grabbed another mahjong tile and threw it directly at Xiao Ke's face. Wang Quan's move was disastrous. Before Xiao Ke could even speak, Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang rushed forward from behind him.

Wang Zhi stretched out his leg and kicked Wang Quan in the crotch with a powerful flying kick. One of Wang Quan's testicles burst open instantly, and he fell down clutching his crotch.

Zhang Guangyue then took out a dagger, twisted Wang Quan's wrist as he fell to the ground, and with a swift motion, severed one of his little fingers. The broken little finger, revealing gruesome white bone, rolled to the ground.

When Wei Qinggang saw that the two brothers had already attacked, he, as a newcomer, couldn't show weakness. This was his chance to shine. He happened to be wearing a pair of pointed leather shoes. When he saw Wang Zhi kick his crotch, he used the toe of his shoe to kick Wang Quan's anus, giving him a good thud.

Poor Wang Quanke was really unlucky. He was tortured by the three men, screaming and writhing on the ground in excruciating pain.

Xiao Ke finally managed to stop the three men he brought, telling them to stop fighting or they would be killed.

Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang finally stopped fighting. After this battle, the three of them all had their own nicknames.

Wang Zhi's nickname was "Wang the Crotch" because he would smash other people's testicles when he fought. Zhang Guangyue's nickname was "Zhang the One-Finger" because he would cut off one of other people's fingers when he fought. Wei Qinggang's nickname was "Wei the Anal Kicker" because he would kick other people's anuses when he fought.

Xiao Ke called out to Zhang Yizhi, and after Wang Kudang and Wei kicked Wei in the anus, he led them away from the casino, leaving behind the injured Wang Quan.

What they didn't know was that this Wang Quan had some connections, and they had gotten themselves into trouble this time.

So, what's Wang Quan's background? Stay tuned for the next episode.
