At the Flame Canyon entrance, a group of stronger figures extorts anyone who wants to enter, demanding a toll. A man addressed as "Sir" refuses to form a party or pay, challenging their claim to the area. When they threaten force, he confronts them and forces the question of who is truly strong. The gang quickly collapses into apologies, blaming the toll on others and begging for mercy. Their pleas—"please spare me"—meet the man's cold reply, "Only now you beg for mercy? Too late!" The episode ends with their fate hanging on his next move.
