A stairwell erupts when a group of men hurl insults and shove a beggar and a woman. Roy is urged to stop, but attackers pin the woman's legs and mock them. When someone steps in shouting, "Let her go," the gang threatens to send him to hell. The challenger surprises them with fighting skill. Mr. White recognizes the ability, taunts him and says he'll teach this "ungrateful bastard" a lesson. He then announces he will demonstrate Midland's Top 5 Solder Fist, promising to make the challenger die with honor, leaving the outcome unresolved as he advances.
