The Man from Macau
The legendary “Invincible Hand” Ken, famous for his ability to identify mahjong tiles and playing cards by touch, had become a legend in the gambling world. After retiring from his role as Chief Security Consultant in Las Vegas, Ken returned to his hometown of Macau. There, he reunited with his old friend Benz, along with Benz’s son Cool and nephew Karl, both of whom aspired to learn from Ken. Ken challenged Cool, stating that if Cool could successfully deceive him or defeat him in a game, he would take him on as a student. Meanwhile, Cool’s stepbrother Lionel, an undercover agent, had infiltrated an international gambling syndicate that aimed to collaborate with global illegal gambling rings to manipulate soccer match outcomes. Lionel had secretly recorded their meeting, storing the incriminating evidence in a fake eye. This eye inadvertently ended up with Rainbow, Ken’s only daughter, putting her in jeopardy. Consequently, the retired Ken was compelled to use his “Magic Hand” once more to thwart the sinister scheme.
