Baki and Johan walked through the corridor. Johan noticed Sowol packing boxes. "Hey, what's all the hustle and bustle about?"
Sowol blushed when she saw Johan. "This doesn't concern you. If you're not here to help, get lost."
Baki looked at Johan and Sowol suspiciously. "This kid—I didn't expect him to be quite a player. Hasn't even been 24 hours and he's already got a girl."
Suddenly, a guard bumped into Johan. Johan apologized. "Oh. Sorry." But when he saw the man's face, he froze in shock.
Baki also looked at the guard. His face was an amalgamation of burns and scars—some parts even melted.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Sowol explained, "Those are our precious babies... that we brought over from the mainland."
Baki muttered, "Precious baby? More like Freddy Krueger without his hat."
When Johan walked away with Sowol and some of the disfigured henchmen tagging along, Baki started to follow them.
As they were going up, the fire alarm began to ring unexpectedly. Water sprayed from above. Then an unexpected figure came into view—Samuel.
Samuel was holding an umbrella and a shake in his other hand. "Johan? Fancy meeting you here. I didn't expect you to work for the Workers 3rd affiliate."
He leaned toward Johan. "Do you know? They're the ones who supply drugs to Pungsun cult." Samuel's face contorted with excitement, as if he were having fun.
Johan grabbed Samuel's collar. "What did you say?!"
Samuel smiled. "What? You didn't know? I thought you knew."
Baki watched from the back with interest. "Hmm... He's toying with Johan."
Sowol came forward. "I'm afraid I don't follow. What's your connection to Pungsun cult?"
Johan looked back. "You'd better tell me the truth. If you leave anything out... I will kill you all."
Samuel looked at the spectacle with interest. Suddenly someone placed their hand on Samuel's shoulder and whispered into his ear. "Kid, you're interesting. Can you take me to where the main show is happening?"
Samuel's back soaked with cold sweat. He glanced back at Baki. "Huh?! When did he get behind me?! How come I couldn't even tell?!"
Seeing him silent, Baki spoke again. "Kid, don't be afraid. I'm just craving some interesting spectacle. I know something huge is going on and that's why you're here. Come, quickly take me there."
Samuel nodded.

Johan beat all the henchmen. After that, he looked around and found Baki and Samuel missing. He crouched down beside Sowol, who cowered. "Where's Vivi?!"
After a while, Johan reached another corridor. There, he saw Vasco fighting another executive. Vasco looked at him. "Johan! You decided to help us! You made the right decision!"
But Johan didn't listen to Vasco. He kicked the executive in the head. The executive went down with that one kick. Johan looked at Vasco. "Vasco. You're too weak. Leave, lest you become a burden to others."
Saying this, Johan left. He beat every henchman he met on the way and reached an elevator that Eli was entering. Eli asked, "What are you doing here?!"
Johan's eyes were bloodshot. "You're going where Vivi is, right?! TAKE ME THERE."
Eli understood Johan wasn't in the right mind. He sighed and decided to do as Johan said. Even though he had trained with Tom Lee for the last month, he wasn't sure if he could defeat Johan. Since the Hostel incident, Eli knew that Gun would return for Olly one day. So he had been training so that when Gun returned, he would be able to save his family.

On the other hand, Baki and Samuel reached the top where Vivi was. Xiaolong and Jake were fighting brutally. Baki asked, "Why are you here?"
Samuel used his right to remain silent. He was honestly afraid of Baki. He didn't get this feeling from even Gun. Baki's aura was oozing with excitement, as if he were controlling a tsunami within himself. Samuel didn't want to be the one to open the dam, lest he be the one washed away.
Suddenly, Vivi opened the door. Seeing the defeated Xiaolong, she placed him on her lap and started to cry.
Suddenly, Xiaolong started to bark like a dog. Everyone present at the scene was surprised. But Xiaolong didn't stop.
Samuel glanced at Baki and then walked toward Xiaolong. He stopped near him. "You're actually barking?"
Xiaolong said, "I barked... I barked like a dog like you said... I will do whatever you want... Please... Just protect Miss Vivi."
Samuel crouched down and put his hand on Xiaolong's head. "Don't want to." His face contorted into an ugly smile. "Oh no. I can't stop smiling. I said I don't want to."
