It was only when the man's face was bruised and swollen and he cried out to Ma San for mercy that Ma San stopped with satisfaction.

It did not pay to meddle in someone else's business. As the saying went, one would be better off making friends with an idler rather than offend someone like a gambler.
This was because such people did not care about their lives. They lived without knowing if they would see another tomorrow!
