...tropical fish, plus four man-killing Alsatian hounds to discourage thieves. Lacking some of his brother's more exotic tastes, Run Run likes to mix business with pleasure, recently put up a twelve-story building in downtown Kowloon, with a nightclub on the first floor, offices on the third, living quarters for starlets on the eighth, and a luxury apartment for himself on the ninth...
