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

Wang Bao arrived at Xiao Ke's casino with two henchmen. Before they even entered, they could see from the outside that the place was packed with people, almost reaching the entrance.

"Damn it, Maozi, go back and get some men. Smash the casino for me, let them show off!" Wang Bao ordered one of his henchmen, Maozi.

Brother, I've heard that the guy who runs the casino is called Xiao Ke. He's the one who knocked all of Li Baobao's teeth out back then. I heard he has a hunting rifle and he's really ruthless when it comes to shooting people in the hand.

He also has three musketeers under his command: one loves to cut fingers, one loves to kick balls, and one loves to kick anus. They're all thugs. If we fight them head-on, we might not come out on top. Maozi advised Wang Bao.

Even if we don't gain an advantage, we have to give him a piece of our mind. If he keeps running like this, our place will be out of business in a few days. Wang Bao said resentfully.

Brother, we have Liu Guang, Liu Yishou, why don't we let him give it a try? The Liu Guang that Maozi is talking about is Wang Bao's secret ace in the casino. He's very skilled and nicknamed Liu Yishou. When someone wins too much, Wang Bao sends Liu Yishou out, and in no time, he makes that person win back all the money he's won.

After Maozi's reminder, Wang Bao realized what was going on. "That's it! Let's go back and get Guangzi to take action. We'll beat them so badly they won't even have their underwear left!" Wang Bao said angrily as he went back.

Back at his casino, Wang Bao called Liu Yishou over and said, "Guangzi, another casino has opened nearby. Look, we're all deserted here; everyone's gone to that casino. Here's 20,000 yuan for you as capital. Go check it out tonight."

Remember, win a little at first. All the wins today are yours. Once you figure out the tricks of the trade, I'll go with you tomorrow and we'll make them pay a hefty sum so they can go out of business completely.

"Brother Bao, no problem, just watch. In the gambling world of Bingcheng, if I, Liu Yishou, say I'm second, nobody dares to say they're first." Liu Yishou boasted.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging. Go on, and remember what I said," Wang Bao waved his hand.

"Got it, Brother Bao~" Liu Yishou picked up the 20,000 yuan on the table and headed straight for Xiao Ke's casino with a proud and arrogant air.

He's here! He's here! He's coming with gifts!

He's here! He's here! He's coming in riding on auspicious clouds!

After arriving at Xiao Ke Casino, Liu Yishou stopped at the Texas Hold'em table. He finally managed to squeeze to the front of the table, slammed 20,000 yuan onto it, and said, "Come on, let me try my luck with a few rounds."

You know what, this Liu Yishou is quite skilled. In no time at all, he won a lot of money, and the money on the table kept piling up and getting thicker.

With Liu Yishou winning, the bookmaker was starting to feel the pressure. Xiao Ke hired him to stabilize the game; if he continued to lose, his reputation would be ruined.

So the dealer that Xiao Ke hired started to play tricks, with all sorts of fake shuffling and fake cutting, trying to deal Liu Yishou some small cards.

But Liu Yishou was a cut above the rest. No matter how the dealer played, he could still win. However, he forgot Wang Bao's advice and couldn't stop himself once he started winning. He won more than 30,000 yuan from the dealer in one go.

This really put Xiao Ke's dealer in a cold sweat. The dealer gave a wink to one of the guards next to him. They had a secret signal beforehand: if someone was trying to manipulate the situation and couldn't get it to work, they would have to ask their older brother, Xiao Ke, to step in.

After understanding the situation, the underlings immediately ran upstairs to find Xiao Ke and said, "Brother, someone's cheating at the Texas Hold'em downstairs. Our men can't hold them off."

"Damn it, someone's already trying to trip us up right after we opened. Let's go, let's go meet him!" Xiao Ke said as he went downstairs, followed by his three musketeers.

After watching a game of Texas Hold'em, Xiao Ke immediately recognized Liu Yishou's tricks. "Damn, he's pretty fancy. Let's see how I teach him a lesson."

After Xiao Ke nodded to the dealer, the dealer said, "My stomach hurts, I need to go to the toilet. I'll have someone else play with you."

Xiao Ke stepped forward, and many people, seeing the boss personally taking the stage, gathered around to watch the spectacle. They all said the casino boss was a master, and they wanted to see just how skilled he really was.

The smug Liu Yishou was unaware that Xiao Ke was the boss. He didn't care whether you changed people or not; he had absolute confidence that no one could beat him with his methods.

After Xiao Ke came up, he shuffled the cards a few times and started dealing. He deliberately dealt three small cards to Liu Yishou. Liu Yishou had already marked the cards, so he knew what the three cards were without even looking at them.

"Hmph, trying to pull this on me? Watch me out with a clever trick!" Liu Yishou thought to himself as he threw two stacks of cash on the table and said, "Blindly bet 20,000!"

Little Ke tossed over 40,000 with a snap and said, "Open the cards!"

Liu Yishou revealed a smug smile. He picked up the cards and flipped them onto the table with a thud. At the same time, three Aces were pulled out from his sleeve. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he swapped the smaller cards on the table.

Liu Yishou's card-switching movements were so fast that ordinary people couldn't see them at all, not even the cheaters Xiao Ke hired. But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't escape Xiao Ke's eyes.

When Liu Yishou flipped over three Aces, everyone watching was astonished and exclaimed in surprise.

"Can you be as big as me?" Liu Yishou said smugly.

Hmph~ Little Ke revealed a disdainful smile. He also turned over the cards in his hand, which were also three Aces, even the same suit.

Xiao Ke's flip of the card left the onlookers even more bewildered. "Holy crap, can you really play two Aces in one hand? Smash it!" Xiao Ke shouted.

Zhang Guangyue and Wei Qinggang, who had been standing guard beside Liu Yishou, each held down one of Liu Yishou's hands and pressed his head down onto the gambling table.

Xiao Ke walked up to Liu Yishou, grabbed his arm with a bang, and pulled out the three cards Liu had dealt from his sleeve. Damn it, hair wax on your head, nail clippings on your hands, and cards hidden in your sleeve, you've got some pretty sophisticated tricks up your sleeve.

"Come and support me, I, Xiao Ke, welcome you. But if you come and cheat, I, Xiao Ke, will teach you a lesson, teach him a lesson!" Xiao Ke instructed.

Wang Zhi, Zhang Guangyue, and Wei Qinggang had been itching to act. At Xiao Ke's command, Wang Zhi kicked Liu Yishou in the groin. Liu Yishou yelled in pain and fell to the ground.

Just as Liu Yishou fell to the ground, Wei Qinggang, wearing pointed black leather shoes, kicked him in the buttocks. Liu Yishou instantly felt as if his front had exploded and his back had been given an enema, and he rolled on the ground howling in pain.

After Wang Kudang and Wei Tigang finished, Zhang Yizhi took out a dagger, grabbed Liu Yishou's hand, and with a snap, a bloody finger rolled to the ground in an arc.

Will Xiao Ke let Liu Yishou off the hook next? How will Wang Bao react when he finds out? Stay tuned for the next episode.
