Synopsis

The Silver Fox, stung by defeat in their previous meeting, vowed retribution against Ryo. He presented his challenge with cold formality, declaring he had set his sights on Kaori, Ryo’s companion, and that Ryo alone could shield her from harm. When Kaori pressed him on this pronouncement, Ryo offered only a hesitant acknowledgment of the gauntlet thrown. Later, after falling prey to a carefully orchestrated deception by the Silver Fox, Ryo informed Kaori that she was dismissed from her service.
