Rendezvous with Death Page #3

---

I can make my own money.

And you... I have absolutely no interest,

please leave.

Listen.

Young man, you don't know the lady.

That's because you are a newcomer.

Master Huo.

Let me introduce you.

She's the well known Miss Shui Xian Hua

of the Shui Family in Jiangnan.

Old man, and you are...

Me? Nobody.

What are you doing here?

I've brought someone here.

A person?

Brother Yang...

Don't panic, he can't speak temporarily.

It's because he's been drugged, but...

the longer he waits, the deeper the coma.

What?

I hear that you're a man of honor,

especially those who have saved you.

Since I'm in a trap already,

give me the antidote,

and I'll give you the box.

The antidote is here,

but I can't give this to you yet.

I'll only give you this after the box

has been transported

over ten miles from here.

To be fair, I'll put it here.

Three Brave Brothers, take the box.

Master Xin won't give you any trouble.

Yes.

Trying to cheat? I think I should

keep this with me for now.

Since I'm outnumbered,

why don't you just snatch it from me

instead of tricking me into this?

Yes, this act is low.

Master Xin,

it's only because of desperation,

we would never do this,

and we really don't want to hurt you.

We only want the box,

we are not your enemy.

Too bad it's too late now.

If I'm right,

you must be the Three Brave Brothers.

Don't panic,

we could never be friends.

I'm just interested in

what you're carrying.

Who are you really?

I think it's better if you don't know,

or you'll be scared to death.

I'm taking the box no matter what!

I don't have time to deal with you.

Just go! Go!

Miss Shui.

Goodbye, Master Xin.

Brother Yang.

Wait here, don't leave.

Don't bother.

How come you have this?

This only proves one thing.

Survival of the fittest.

A newcomer like you,

risking your life for fame and fortune,

is really ridiculous.

Gu Feitian,

you are full of rubbish.

Tell me what do you want to do

with the box?

Return it to you.

Unconditionally?

That's right. I pity you.

Your eager ambition

to become rich and famous,

this is the last time I'll help you.

Crocodile tears. Tell me.

It's worth a fortune,

why not claim it for yourself?

I've got fame and fortune.

Why should I risk my life

over a small sum?

Tell you the truth,

it's hard to have fame and fortune.

As for me, it's destined.

Stop boasting.

Don't let him scare you.

Gu Feitian,

others might not know your background,

but I do.

Listen up.

He's an orphan, who knows not his parents.

He's raised by an old acrobat.

I see.

You're into gambling, prostitution.

And you've done all kinds of bad deeds.

You've made a name for yourself

in the last few years.

Next time when you want to show off,

make sure there's no one around.

Master Gu, you're a forgiving man.

What I said was wrong.

He's returning the box,

you should thank him.

Sorry about that...

Xinsuan,

if you fail to deliver the box,

stop making a fool of yourself.

Don't.

Goodbye.

Sorry, I almost ruined it.

Sorry.

It's not your fault.

Just as I expected.

There are plenty who want

this box and make a fortune.

Oh no! It's getting more complicated.

Master Huo, do you think...

Say it.

Could Chi Sifang and Liu Ergu

be the ones who did this?

How did you know?

Just a wild guess.

They are the bad elements,

and you've talked to them about it.

I hope not.

Thief!

An invitation.

Meet me at the Charming Alley

tomorrow evening at 5 PM

if you want to collect the item.

Chi Sifang.

Master Gu, it's been quite a while.

Chi Sifang!

You picked your name right!

Now you're stealing from me!

Tell me, why did you steal from me?

Simple enough.

The plants need water,

the animals need food,

man needs money.

Master Gu, I'm surprised that

someone like you

would do what a robber does.

For me, it doesn't matter.

Doublecross?

That sounds terrible.

I'd like to discuss with you.

The box is worth a fortune.

Right, let's split the fortune.

Everyone knows that

the kid called Xinsuan is a fat sheep.

Who would have thought...

Master Gu is the first in the line.

I can't blame you.

It's easy money.

But too bad,

I've already returned the box to him.

Really? How's he related to you?

Not related.

Why did you help him?

You won't get anything

even if I didn't help him.

He might be annoying,

but you are detestable.

Gu Feitian, you have two choices.

A box for a box,

or you name a price.

Otherwise, forget it.

Gu Feitian.

There are many who work for me,

I could play with you today.

So that you know I live up to my name.

Go!

Stop...

Master Huo,

he killed the Three Brave Brothers,

and he took Xinsuan's box.

What should we do? Tell me.

That's enough.

Master Gu, we've never met before,

but I've heard so much about you.

What an honor.

Pleased to meet you.

Was he telling the truth?

That's right, and I've returned it to him,

it's the truth.

Certainly.

Master Gu, you're a man of your word,

but I'd like to know

why did you return it?

I just want to let him know

how dangerous it is

in the martial arts world.

Just like you, Master Huo.

You're tired of the reclusive life,

suddenly you're here at Charming Alley,

and befriended Chi Sifang.

Master Gu, you killed my friends,

and now you've made impertinent remarks.

I can live with that,

because I don't want to have

another enemy.

But I want to be clear,

We're determined to get the box.

From now on,

please mind your own business.

I hope so.

Master Huo,

as for the deaths of the brothers,

you can come claim it anytime.

Master Huo.

Move aside.

You must be Shui Xianhua,

how lucky I'm to meet you,

what a beauty.

Chi Shifang,

how could you break your word?

You took my money

and now you want the box to yourself?

For a mere ten thousand silver taels,

I've lost so many men! I quit.

How much do you want?

I want a raise.

Fifty fifty.

Fine! If you try to keep anything from me,

I'd not let you get away with it.

No one's inside, Second sister.

Really?

Over here.

What did I tell you?

Liu Ergu is a fake old lady, catch!

The Liu family has five sisters.

They are all ruthless and with a nickname!

We've met.

and the youngest, "Green Chilli".

Brother Yang, let me take care of them.

You just sit there and enjoy.

Very well...

They made a fool of me

at the brothel last time,

I'll get even

this time around.

Bravo.

Eldest Sister.

That was close.

What goes around comes around,

I'm sure we'll meet again.

Let's get some sleep.

It's almost dawn.

We'll just sleep out here.

Am I your baggage now that

I'm traveling with you?

Of course not, I'm glad you're here.

Because you're an interesting person.

The more time you spend with me,

you'll discover more of my good side.

Xinsuan and Yang Fang are coming this way.

Great, we must snatch the box today.

Listen, whoever gets the box,

should leave right away.

We'll meet at the Charming Alley tonight.

Yes.

Bad elements won't change!

You broke your promise.
