Prince’s bodyguard Rapdevil isn’t really dead, instead he faked his murder so that he could betray Prince while aligning himself with the loan shark.

As tensions mount, Wangnan’s team suffered a devastating blow with the betrayal of Nia, who only wanted to pay off their caretaker’s debt. Wangnan can only listen in horror as Nia was brutally murdered while still on the line.

Their defeat was seemingly imminent, but Wangnan’s unwavering determination propelled him into action. A fierce battle ensues, with alliances shifting and loyalties tested.

Viole is still locked in a standoff with Love in the baths. He has one last chance to catch his connector if he wishes to advance alone. With the last connector flying towards him, Viole surprised Love by mimicking his moves, but he was stopped at the last moment. Wangnan suddenly appeared and picked up Viole’s connector, asking for help in exchange for the connector, to which Viole agreed.
