Boss, why don't we hire him?

Wait, Mr. Chang! I've a favor to ask!

What's wrong with you.

Mr. Chang.

Master Chang!

Ignore that man.

A ghost!

A ghost!

I saw a ghost!

"Closed for renovation."

Good shot with the droppings.

Now everyone thinks Chang is a freak.

Where is he?

I nearly suffocate!

Put more air holes in the seat

I'll fix it right away.

Help yourself to fresh buns.

Li Yi.

So that couple own "Happy Inn"?

Yes.

They seem honest enough.

"Master scholar and strategist."

"Chuke Liang was a genius."

"He masterminded military campaigns..."

Dear Madams

Butler Liu, good day!

Where is Madam 7th?

She's tired of your shows ages ago.

Chen Kuo.

Got something new?

I'm working on it.

Once I'm ready, I'll

present it to all of you.

Madam 7th isn't interested in anything

but the magic show.

If she isn't pleased, the

General will blame us.

Master spoils that vixen!

Well said!

Master is so bias, isn't he?

Definitely!

That's enough.

Let's not discuss this in public.

What did you find out?

I sent investigators to Hunan.

Only to discover that person is a swindler.

The 7 Wonders is a fake.

Untrustworthy.

But it's historically documented.

It's real!

Yes...

Here's your fee.

Take it

Butler Liu is warning you.

Accomplish this mission

or suffer the consequence.

It's stolen from a tomb.

My dear workers

I really had no choice...

but to close down our shop.

Goodbye.

Let's go.

Please take care.

Bro, if we'd hired Chang that day...

we wouldn't be in such dire position!

Why am I so unlucky?

Mr. Li.

Mr. Chang

what brings you here?

I wish to buy half of your shares.

So you can keep this place running.

What do you think?

My bro is always speechless

to important matters.

He's overwhelmed

by your proposition!

But...

he has already sold out to Chen Kuo

and took his downpayment...

Give him back.

Will this be enough?

Yes!

More than enough!

I'll ask the staff to return!

No need

I've men.

Go!

According to our contract

I'm paying back 3 times your deposit.

But didn't you say you're quitting?

Chang Hsien has returned from overseas.

The great magician will

perform at "Happy Inn".

The great magician?!

They've arrived.

Have question?

What exactly are you planning?

You must have an ulterior motive?

Stop this! Don't tell me

I'm not listening!

As long as our family business survives...

I don't care.

Indeed.

You better keep it off.

You say Warlord Chang will decimate us

but I'm more worried about General Li.

General Li's army is larger

and closer to us.

If he decides to ambush us, we're dead.

If Li dares to attack

I'll deploy 3,000 elite soldiers...

Fight with him!

I'll send 8,000 men
