Episode opens on a tense standoff: the Kidnap King holds a sister hostage, taunts Divine Phoenix and threatens a rain of bullets from 3,000 mercenaries while counting down to kill or slit the hostage. Labeled the 'Divine Phoenix' and underestimated as a 'delicate beauty,' she refuses to back down as the kidnapper snarls 'Kill her!' The scene then cuts: Sherry is scolded for sneaking out, and Henry calls to say her father has died and left his shares to her as rivals move to seize the estate. She vows to return immediately, forcing a rushed choice while the hostage crisis and Kidnap King's threat remain.
