If he is lucky, his gang will be one of the new gangs that are chosen to participate in the new round of the game. He won't need to risk his life for it at all.
Even if he is not lucky enough to be selected to control a territory at the beginning of the new game, he can always challenge a gang that was selected and take their place.
So there is no need for him to fight to the death for his territory. Unfortunately, he couldn't leave because if he did, the Golden Hammer gang would be able to annex his territory without a fight.
If that were to happen, the Golden Hammer gang, who currently control 5 districts, will add the 2 districts belonging to him to theirs and possess 7 districts out of the total 33.
With this, they will be on their way to winning this round of the game. No one wants to see that. Not him and not even his enemies want to see the Golden Hammer gang win the game.
