Rhode and his group are hiding in a cave to avoid mercenaries from the Jade Tears group, who have become their enemies. Rhode decides to take care of feeding a tiger that could harm them later. He goes to the mine with Old Walker and the dwarf, where they find the black-robed mercenaries who seem to be able to move silently. After observing them, Rhode decides to investigate further and asks Old Walker to leave him alone. Frank, another character, is surprised by Rhode's power but doesn't realize that Rhode can guess the series of events that will happen. Frank is unaware that he will fall into a similar trap as Clinton did.
