Flying Dragon hence brings Roy to Mahjong casino to earn money for him. Roy observes the rivalry between two Mahjong geniuses HUA San Yuan (Wah Yuen) and GE He Qing (Eric Kot) by chance, he witnesses the fate of them - one turns to be insane and one becomes bankrupt, and decides not to snatch the reputation of "The King of Mahjong". Though Roy has no desire to seize the fame, his good luck elicits the worry of aggressive Mie Luo (Samuel Pang) who then plans to harm Roy....

HUA San Yuan realizes that Roy is gifted with luck, so he pleads him to be his disciple. Mie Luo knows it and sends people to beat Roy up, but later they mistakenly hurt Flying Dragon.

They decide to foster the new generation of "The King of Mahjong"...
