唐： But... you lose so much money per every two days, and you come to seek help from me after losing money, l don't think l can help you forever.

祝： Sure! Because of that, l tried to risk for the last time.

But l lost the money which l could earn till my death.

That's 300,000 taels.

So, l have to beg you to draw 30 paintings...in order to save my life.

唐： l see, I see.

唐： Damn you, don't you think l owe you that? You need 30 paintings?

No way!

Otherwise, they'll kill me!

Will you help me or not?

唐： One hour? Well, since you are my brother,

l will write your lament for your funeral.

Say, 'A bastard' or 'A scumbag', which one do you like?

Choose between these two.

祝： Pak Fu, don't be that mean to me.

l swear if l gamble again, let me marry with the worst woman, ls it OK?

唐： You made such worst oath!
