Marc, Bo, and Brutas journey east to seek the Legion of the Rising Snake, a ninja clan Fletcher had stolen from. Their leader, Bao Cho, agrees to aid Marc’s Agency—on one condition: he fights alongside them. Meanwhile, Jonathan and Pete scout for a base and discover a perfect abandoned camp near the Kingpin’s Castle. Pete claims he convinced the family there to leave peacefully, but in truth, he killed half of them and scared the rest away. With Bao now part of the team, the Agency settles in. Fletcher, growing ruthless, begins collecting taxes in person. In one town, a young woman resists and is publicly hanged. Her grieving husband, Matt Arnold, soon faces another horror—his daughter vanishes during the night. Broken but determined, Matt joins Marc’s cause. Tracking the girl leads Marc, Matt, and Bao to a brutal outpost run by a group called Mercenary. They storm the camp and find Matt’s daughter, but she's been horribly experimented on, reduced to a zombie. Marc lies to Matt, saying she was already dead, and ends her suffering. On their way back, they encounter Bryce Orwell, Fletcher’s former right hand, who joins them. Now with a full force—Marc, Bo, Bao, Brutas, Pete, Bryce, and Matt—they launch an attack on the castle. But it’s a trap. They’re captured and chained. Fletcher mocks Marc, accuses him of foolishness, then kills Jonathan and Matt and captures Brutas before arrogantly releasing the survivors. Broken, they limp from the castle and spot a lone house ahead.
