An ambush wipes out the Obsidian Fangs and captures Justus, revealing the infamous Night Phoenix leader as a surprisingly delicate woman. Attackers taunt Colette and order her execution, but Martin Lyons—the Night Phoenix's top enforcer—steps in to defend the boss amid chaotic fighting. Later, a phone call about a critical illness forces urgent travel plans: Martin is ordered to book the earliest flight home. His superior insists they keep their true identities hidden and signs off as Ms. Fisher. They prepare to leave with Justus in enemy hands and rival gangs circling—return may not mean safety.
