Before 1974 in Hong Kong.

Was the darkest time in history.

The colonial administration was corrupted.

My name is Wu Shi Hao.

This is when I arrived to Hongkong.

We ate for the first time in 4 days

But I'm not afraid, My dad always told me.

Life is in the hand of fate.

- Eating - We are short-lived demons

- I have returned - Eat porridge

-Do you want more porridge? - Yes

A Ti, time to eat.

Mother kos ...

Sorry.

- Tonight is the night. - You promise

- Don't you forget - Yes - Do not lie to me

- Rancid boy - Porridge how does it taste?

It's good.

Delicious? You're kidding.

- You're great - Yes great.

A Hua porridge is for you, hot, becareful.

Eat.

Eat porridge.

The place is not open tonight.

- Again you will fight - Work for two cents

Fighting 30 cents.

9 out of 10 fights were unsuccessful.

Don't be afraid, go, then take the money.

If there's hair, who wants to be bald?

I almost forgot.

For you.

Kak Lou you're late.

Busy - Ouch, you know Yan Tong, is grumpy.

- It's a gift, not angry anymore right? - Whoa

Wow great prize, his mouth will water.

- Come on - Ehm.

Please go upstairs.

- Just a birthday, is this the invitation? - Yes

- Sister-in-law - Sister-in-law

Lou's brother joined Yan's boss's birthday.

- Work must be busy lately? - Not bad

For Yan boss.

Go and enjoy yourself, I must attend other guests.

Indeed I will.

Well, now your's not worth looking at.

Apparently they're all worth more than yours.

Mine seems cheap, right?

-Yes of course - just place it over there

I will put it here.

F*** Off.

Sit.

Just want to play with you guys.

- That's for you - Is that mother f***er drunk?

Let's play cards.

He is very funny.

Every time he gets so drunk

Empty

- Sh*t - Yes, play again

- Shut up - pay the money, come on

That's right, don't underestimate us

This is for you, this is for you.

I think he means that, if you want a promotion.

Just go ahead and take the cash.

Who's the boss now?

What the f*** are you doing? you lose but you don't want to pay, huh?

-Luo LAK do not - what are you doing? drink too much?

Take the inspector away and clean him up.

Do you think you did a good job, huh?

Do you want to prove that you're brave?

- No - who told you to be security tongiht?

You want to hit me too, stupid sh*t?

Boss Yan sorry, brother Lou's drunk

Been mother f***ing drunk.

Still waiting for the food?

- We will go - Happy birthday

- You do not get angry, let's go dancing.

I'm okay.

If it weren't for you, I'd pulled a gun, and shot him.

Do not act indiscriminately.

You are in no position to do so.

- I can stand him, nor his b*tch wife!!

You want to take out your gun and jam it inside her.

Lust will solve the issue - Brother Lou.

What is wrong? - Tonight Gong Zi Qiang with Ta Hui Xiong.

Rumour has it that - Gong Zi Qiang, from Kwoloon will bring people here?

They will bring hundreds of people.

If he's on your side it will be great, he's honest and kind hearted.

Upset Yan Tong, mean to upset the police as well.

We will lose face. Right?

Here's a news break for you, Hunt.

Some Chinese are making trouble downstairs.

Go have fun with them.

That's music to my ears.

You don't need to ask me twice.

Christmas is coming.

Boss, today is Yan's birthday and we show up with this many people.

Should we be afraid?

When I'm mad no one can stand in my way.

Gong Zi Qiang, F***er, this is Hong Kong!

Business in Kwoloon is not good enough?!

You come here to take over my business!

- Boss Yan you suck! - Stand up like a man!

You want to control Kwan Tung, and Tsz Wan Shan!

You want to play then I'll play, F***er!.

My crew are all here to fight for me!

Stop talking a lot of nonsense?

Who's more powerful will play the part.

Atleast wait till I drink all of it

It's not enough yet?

Take him away

Coffee

Thank you

Hey Cu you zi you see.

Hongkong is a Golden Egg ready to hatch.

Hey is that street kid messed up bad?

If they cannot generate money then we can't as well. Time to make some decisions.

The current rules only feed us just enough.

- We can generate more, right? - Right

This is what I calculated.

One month ten thousands.

- Ten months = hundreds, even - 1 million?

What is 5 million? do not play brother Lou.

Hands give to me.

This one hundred and 5 millions.

6.641 million.

- But how? It's okay - It's okay

Good one.

Kak Hao, after the fight we didn't get pay.

Go look for Ta Hui Xiong and get pay.

Good - DNA don't tell my sister.

You know she's a child.

- She'll be sad if she knew I was fighting - Yes
