Late at night Xavier angrily confronts Hailey, declaring his obsessive claim and threatening anyone who looks at her—he says the butler was tortured and vows to boil and slice her if she leaves. Hailey pleads to go; Xavier curses her, promising crippled martial arts and immortality to wander as a monster. Nearby, Yana reveals a soul‑swapping ritual: she intends to become Hailey to gain immortality and access to Hailey's money. They arrive at Serpent Isle, where Ms. Saul mentions drinking realgar wine to ward off spirits. Hailey freezes when she realizes her ex‑husband, who hates her, is present.
