Aaron arrives at the Royal Club to meet a contact who questions his claim of treating the powerful Mr. Dale Sr. The contact, a man from a high-status family, mocks Aaron, implying he is lying and inferior. Suddenly, a man named Trevor Culver arrives with his thugs, having been summoned. Culver's underling identifies Aaron as the one who assaulted him. Culver immediately demands to know which hand Aaron used and orders his men to cut it off, leaving Aaron surrounded and in immediate danger.
