How about we divide and conquer?

SAKAMOTO 15M, SHIN 10M, LU 5M TOTAL: 30M

Gambling is just luck, after all, right?

No, there's gotta be a catch. Wutang is the consigliere of the Lu clan.

He's the brains of the group.

I doubt he'd suggest this if it were a simple game of luck.

Indeed.

Gambling may seem like games of chance,

but in fact, they are games of calculation based on shrewd psychological warfare.

All in.

Unlike hit men like you,

we don't have the luxury of leaving things to chance.

Life in the mafia isn't that easy.

The same guy took it all again!

His personality is as bad as his hairdo.

I shouldn't have agreed to this in the heat of the moment!

It's the same with hit men.

The ones who let fate take its course die first.

Show me what you idiots can come up with.

I will get my lady back.

I'll bet everything on it.

WIN MORE THAN WUTANG AT THE CASINO!

I still don't know the rules, though.

CASINO BATTLE

Well, no use worrying now.

I'll just give it a try and figure things out as I play.

Have a seat.

Never seen this kid before. Must be a newbie.

He's like a sitting duck.

He looks like a guy you'd see working at a run-down mom-and-pop shop.

I'll squeeze him for all he's worth.

I can hear you, assholes.

Let's begin.

I guess I look at the cards now?

Call.

Raise, two million.

I'll raise to four.

What does any of that mean?

There you are, Shin!

Did you learn the rules?

You have "uh-oh" written on your face! Why didn't you learn the rules?!

Shut up!

I can't look anything up 'cause they took our smartphones.

Don't embarrass me like this!

We'd have a better chance if I play, then. Give me the cards!

- So he is an amateur. - Let go.

Stop it!

Come on, hurry!

This kid got an ace and a king?

No way, he could get a straight!

Don't worry. We can just bluff and he'll back out.

Sorry, kiddo, you're not gonna beat me with cards like that.

Though we won't stop you if you want to call.

Your bluff won't work on me.

All in.

SHIN +12M TOTAL: 22M

Hey dealer, how about you deal the next hand face-up?

That might save us some time.

How the hell did he do that?

Split.

I'll go for another corner bet.

Looks like fatty's joining.

All in on red? What's this fatty's deal?

Maybe I'll keep one, just in case.

So this is the fatty Mr. Wutang was talking about.

Tough luck.

We have an electromagnet that lets me control where the ball lands.

- Where will it land? - Gimme one more!

And it's over.

How in the world?

The fatty's got some guts!

Just meticulous control.

SAKAMOTO TOTAL: 29M

Mr. Wutang, they're winning hand over fist.

Perhaps they're cheating.

Do not intervene.

I expected some degree of foul play.

But...

Plus one, zero, plus one, plus one, plus one.

Minus one, zero, minus one, plus one, plus one.

Making the total plus four.

What would you like to do?

Hit me.

Blackjack!

That guy with the braid is on a roll!

There it is. Mr. Wutang's signature play style, counting.

When he plays blackjack, he memorizes the cards that have appeared

to estimate the chances of the next card being a ten.

What a high-level skill.

I will win. No matter what I have to do.

You think you're better than us just because you're smart?

All that matters in the mafia is how strong you are!

We don't need a wimp like you in the Lu clan!

Shit, it's Mr. Lu's daughter!

Ow! Let's go.

Are you okay?

LU SHAOTANG CLAN LEADER'S DAUGHTER, 8 YEARS OLD

LU WUTANG MAFIA APPRENTICE, 11 YEARS OLD

Oh!

So you're one of my relatives?

There are so many of us in the Lu clan, I never knew.

Why were you letting them beat you up?

Fighting back isn't the only way to fight.

In that scenario, allowing them to win and getting them in trouble later

would damage them more in the end than if I fought back.

What a weak excuse.

Hmm. You must be...

really smart!

Daddy told me that everyone has at least one weapon.

But that doesn't have to be the same thing as other people.

Your weapon must be your brain, Wutang.

For the first time in my life, I felt accepted.

I realized that I could be myself.

I vowed to climb to the top my way and stand beside her someday.

Eventually, I came to be called the brain of the organization.

My gratitude to the clan is immeasurable.

I'll eliminate anyone who gets in the way of my lady's peaceful life.

I'll go first. 87,630 chips.

WUTANG CHIP TOTAL: 87,630

Damn, we're tied.

SAKAMOTO'S CHIP TOTAL: 87,630

Thank god we didn't lose.

You did pretty good for imbeciles.

Can we leave now?

Hold up. We don't have a winner yet.

Mr. Wutang, why not just shoot them?

That won't be necessary. Back off.

But sir--

Did you not hear me? I said, back off.

You'll play a game of poker with me.

Poker? I don't know the rules.

I didn't really get it, either.

Then what game do you idiots know?

Oh! I know a good one.

It wouldn't be fair to play three to one, so I'm adding two men to my team.

The rules are simple.

The team with the person who has the joker at the end loses.

Basically, Old Maid. Right?

Now we're talking! These simple games are the best.

It's so exciting.

I used to play this with my girls.

Do they have no sense of suspense?

Idiot.

This will be an easy win for a mind-reader like me.

This is my chance to impress Mr. Sakamoto!

Let's begin.

Let's see, who has the joker?

Which one of you is the most nervous...

Seriously, Lu?!

It's all over her face too.

You have always been so honest, my lady.

However, I will not go easy on you.

This one.

I have purged the joker from your hands! You're safe now, my lady.

That's not how you play this game!

Now it's your turn. Take a card.

Hmm, which one should I take?

Psych! I'll know which one to take once I read his--

You can read minds, right?

The human mind has three types of consciousness.

Verbalized consciousness, the preconscious,

and the subconscious, like habits or reflexes.

I wonder, how far can you read?

Pick a card. If my intuition is right, you'll lose.

What's he talking about?

He's just messing with me. I'm sure it's a bluff.

Shin tried to read everything in Wutang's mind.

However,

that was a dangerous act, like looking at the sun through a magnifying glass.

The excessive amount of information caused Shin's brain to overheat.

Just as I thought. You read the verbalized mind, don't you?

Shin!

SHIN - OUT OF THE GAME

What are we gonna do without Shin?

Hey, hurry up, fatty.

Hurry?

C'mon,

keep it moving, would you?

Did he just take a card and then swap it?

Wait a second.

What did you just do?

If there's any sign of cheating again, you're out of the game.

Face your doom, hit man.

Your poker face is impressive but not enough to fool me.

Your eyes glanced toward this card, ever so slightly.

We humans have a tendency to look at the thing we're trying to hide.

Take a card, then.

It's game over.

My god!

His grip strength is insane!

Sorry about that. I was holding on too tight.

Damn, you switched cards.

I believe it's my turn.

Hey, what do you think you're--

What is this?

We came all the way to Japan

just for you and your stupid game.

We can't take it anymore!

We're the mafia.

If we want something, we take it.

The way you do things is so dorky!

Yeah, he's right! You nerd!

What's going on?

Oh my god, they totally hate him.

It's just like when I was young.

Everything I've done...

It was all worthless.

Mutiny?

What a boring death for a mafia member.

I guess this is it.

You're giving up rather easily.

Don't you want to impress your crush?

You must be really smart!

Your weapon must be your brain, Wutang.

That's it! I will win, my way.

Stop meddling, Taro Sakamoto.

Their arms were supposed to blow up when they fired those guns.

Did you think that I, of all people, wouldn't notice an uprising?

I rigged your guns to explode when fired.

I'm counting on you, Taro Sakamoto.

Morons. Bluffing is gambling 101.

He was lying?

Sakamoto,

you've won this fight.

I've put my lady in harm's way.

I don't deserve to protect her.

So...

I don't know what you deserve,

but I do know what it's like to want to protect those dear to you.

Of course.

SAKAMOTO'S

So, Sakamoto, as promised,

I'll give you information on the person who put the bounty on you.

THE IKORAI TIMES

Are you even listening?

Yeah, sure we are.

Could you do something while you talk, Wutang?

We have a lot of work to catch up on because of you.

You look pretty good in that apron.

I can't believe you're making me, a mafia consigliere, work for you.

I will be invoicing you for every hour.

Anyway...

Sakamoto,

have you heard of a person called Slur?

The hit man killer?

So you have heard of them.

Young man, could you ring these up for me?

That's who put the bounty on your head.

- But we already... - Need a bag?

- ...had a hunch it was Slur. - No thanks.

Do you know Slur's name? Or where they are?

Unfortunately, no one has any information to identify the person known as "Slur."

You have got to be kidding me.

What did we even fight for?

A complete waste.

I'm not finished yet!

There are a lot of mysteries, but I do have a few trails leading to him.

What do you mean?

A few days ago, a prison located in Southeast Asia reported some murders.

Four inmates on death row for first-degree murder were killed.

The faces were burned off of the bodies,

and an "X" was painted in blood on the wall.

Does that mean Slur killed those inmates?

But for what reason?

An associate of mine who makes a living buying and selling dead bodies told me

that a few peculiar corpses have been found in Japan recently.

One body was riddled with holes,

one had all of its flesh scraped off,

one was dismembered into pieces,

and one was compressed into a small ball.

So? What do those bodies have to do with this?

These methods resemble those of the four inmates who were supposedly killed.

It's likely that the inmates on death row escaped prison after faking their deaths

and are now hiding in Japan.

Whoa, look at those guys.

That guy's huge! Is he a foreigner?

Maybe he's an athlete. Or a pro fighter?

What are they gawking at?

It's like they're asking to be killed.

DUMP - 180 VICTIMS

MAN VOL. 2 ATONO MATSURI

Japanese manga are hilarious.

SAW - 64 VICTIMS

Huh? There are pickles in my burger.

But I asked for no pickles.

I shouldn't have come to Japan.

I want to die.

APART - 206 VICTIMS

Japanese burgers are tiny.

MINIMALIST - 370 VICTIMS

What are they gonna have us do anyway?

C'mon, just chill out and wait. Maybe you should read some manga.

What are you doing over there?

I made sure to tell them "no pickles."

But there were pickles in it.

So how am I supposed to believe

there isn't anything else in here?

God, what a whiny little brat.

It's all the same if you just squash it.

That was my Big Whack...

I want to die.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Are you the weirdo who let us escape?

Thank you so much for coming all the way.

Let's get right to business.

NAGUMO SAKAMOTO

I'd like for you to kill the people on this list.

Who are they?

They are detrimental to our organization.

I couldn't care less.

If I get to do what I want, that's good enough.

They all look so strong.

This is it, this is how I'll die. They'll tear me apart.

Bleh. They're not even cute.

I'd heard the Japanese are serious people,

but I guess you do joke around sometimes.

You can't expect me to believe that this fatty is a problem for you.

Not a single person on that list should be underestimated.

It could cost you your lives.

You seriously think that, if we're not careful,

we could lose to this fatty and his posse?

One month will be enough to kill them all.

In a month, you bring us your next list.

Or else we go on a killing spree in Japan.

They do not kill to make a living, but rather, they live to kill.

Unadulterated, pure evil.

But this, too, is his decision.

It's a deer!

Having lost my battle...

Is it a cosplay?

...all I can do is trust in him and see his plan through.

SAKAMOTO'S

There's no telling what dangers await.

PAYCHECK

I wish I could have taken my lady back.

You should try and escape as soon as--

So, if we can come into contact with them,

we might be able to get information on Slur.

Right.

Huh?

It'd be best if we can deal with them before the JAA finds them.

I'll contact Heisuke in case we need him.

What the... Did none of you hear me?

They're psychotic murderers.

They're a totally different breed than hit men or mafia.

One wrong move and it'll be your end--

If so,

that's all the more reason we can't leave them at large.
