A tense scene unfolds between Dante, his subordinate Axel, and an aggressive rival, Carlo, who demands to 'borrow' Axel. Dante firmly protects Axel, warning Carlo to leave. Meanwhile, Axel, highly alert, spots a man in a red vest making a suspicious move. As the man pulls a gun, Axel pushes Dante aside and takes the bullet himself, declaring his loyalty was 'worth it.' Enraged, Dante orders a lockdown, while the injured Axel suggests this act has bought him crucial leverage within the organization.
