At the Presidential Residence, Ghost was meeting with the President. Ghost was discussing the behavior of the gang that violated the agreement, Deadly Poison.
"Mr. President, you must take action. Don't play favorites," Ghost said.
The President remained silent and brought up another matter instead. "I'm curious, don't you have other, more important information?"
Ghost was stunned for a moment, then he remembered.
"Ah, I almost forgot, I apologize. There's a new person close to Cecilia. Information from my informant states that the guy is very close to Cecilia, even constantly sticking to her... I suspect he is a Western spy trying to deceive us through Cecilia," Ghost explained.
The President smiled, then laughed loudly. "HAHAHA, REALLY?? Cecilia has never been close to a guy, she won't even go near you."
Hearing that, Ghost felt like he was struck by lightning in his chest. "Ugh, no matter what, you have to get rid of that person... and according to our old agreement, sir."
"Agreement? I already told you that's between you and Cecilia. If you can't make her fall for you, that's not my business. I only gave you a chance to get close to her," the President said coldly.
"Agh! Alright, alright, whatever you say, Mr. President, but regarding the problem I just reported, you must act against them now!!" Ghost shouted, almost being escorted out by the President's aide, but the President held him back.
But after that, the sound of the door opening and clapping was heard.
"Well, well, well, look who's there? A little Ghost? What are you doing there, huh? Going to complain about my mission to spy on all of you?" Cecilia said with a cunning gaze.
Ghost immediately clicked his tongue and averted his gaze. "Why did you carry out that mission? You don't trust any of us?"
Cecilia sat between them. "It's not that I don't trust you... but I'm sure one of you was spying on my territory first~" Cecilia stared sharply at Ghost.
"Nonsense, why would we spy on your empty territory?" Ghost sneered.
Then the President slammed the table. "Don't fight here... Now, what is your proof, Cecilia, that one of the gangs is spying on your territory?"
Cecilia took out a cell phone, but it wasn't hers, and then Cecilia played a recording on the phone.
The sound of Cecilia and Nic being together was heard, but that wasn't the point. At the end of the recording, the recorder forgot to turn it off and had time to say, "Oops, Master Ghost will definitely be even angrier with this information."
Ghost's name was clearly heard, and Ghost was instantly silenced. How could his informant's cell phone be with Lamia when he had ordered his informant to stay put in the AOD territory?
When Ghost looked at Cecilia, he saw Cecilia's cunning face while playing with her long tongue. "Hmmmm? Want to play dirty? You don't know that I am a snake... I can be even more cunning than you."
Ghost just remained silent. Then the President was about to decide to punish AOD, but Ghost immediately stood up, refusing to accept it.
"NO!! MR. PRESIDENT! I WASN'T SPYING ON CECILIA OR HER TERRITORY, BUT THE FOREIGNER SHE BROUGHT!! GET RID OF HIM!" Ghost yelled, slamming his hand on the table.
"ENOUGH!!!"
The President immediately slapped Ghost's face. "Let's do this: if you really don't like that person, just force him to leave yourself. I give you permission."
Hearing that, Cecilia was immediately shocked. "What!? You can't do that!! Why did Da—ah, I mean, Mr. President give him permission!!??"
The President explained that Cecilia was wrong for bringing a foreigner without permission and taking him to her territory without his knowledge, but if the person Cecilia brought could survive here, he would allow him to stay.
"Oh, I see, you want a fight, huh!? Let's go... I'll wait for the main event. I'm ready to fight for Nic~" Cecilia said with a smile, then just left.
Hearing that, Ghost became even angrier. "So Nic is his name... that bastard." Ghost also walked out.
Meanwhile, the President took out a small photo of himself and Cecilia. "Let's see if that foreigner can survive in this cruel world. I'm curious why Cecilia brought him."

Switching to Alexa meeting Lamia in her room. "Lamia... are you still tired?"
Then Lamia opened the door with her new smile. "Oh, Alexa, I'm sorry, I'm not tired anymore! What is it?"
Seeing that, Alexa was a little surprised. Lamia, who was usually cold, cool, and always wore a closed-mouth smile, was suddenly so cheerful.
"You... aren't stressed, are you, Lamia?" Alexa asked, making a strange expression.
Lamia laughed. "Haha, no, I just had a recent epiphany."
Then Alexa sat on the bed and started making a troubled face. "Lamia, I think I should go back to the West."
"Huh? Why? Are you uncomfortable here?" Lamia asked worriedly.
"No, I'm comfortable here because I'm with you, but they... they don't seem to like me here. Even though they seem to have accepted me, my gut feeling says they haven't."
Alexa continued to confide in Lamia about being talked about and given the cold shoulder several times. Someone even said, "That savage assassin from the Red Dragon wants to change here? Does she think this is a place for penance? Go to hell."
Alexa felt even more alienated, especially when she wasn't with Lamia.
Then Lamia hugged her and promised to always be with her and keep her from going back to the West, because Alexa had no one there.
"I will always be with you until you can truly change the way you want," Lamia said.
Alexa just resigned herself and returned the hug.

Meanwhile, Ghost was furious at his headquarters. He searched for his informant but found out he was being held hostage in the DP territory, which made him even angrier. He ordered all AOD troops to prepare for war.
"I already have permission from the President... we will forcibly drive out the person close to Cecilia. If anyone gets in the way, fight them, but do not attack Cecilia. Understood!?" Ghost said.
Everyone simultaneously said they understood and prepared.
Ghost also contacted the DFD gang to be on alert to protect AOD if DP members came and called SHF.
Conversely, Cecilia also ordered her troops to be ready for war against AOD to protect Nic.
Rya was confused. "Are you serious, Boss Cecilia? We are going to shed blood with our brothers just because of the person you brought?"
Cecilia, hearing that, glared at Rya. "Huh! Brothers, you say? Since when have I considered the Angels of Death gang as brothers? SINCE WHEN, I ASK!?!?"
Rya was just silent. Then Cecilia said not to comment; if he didn't want to fight, he should leave the Deadly Poison members because she didn't need cowards.
In the end, they were forced to join, including Lamia and Alexa, who had just arrived and immediately prepared to discuss the plan.

Meanwhile, Nic was in his room, meditating to calm his mind, but a bad premonition from Zeta started to surface.
"Again, chaos will arise because of me," Nic said with a cold gaze, clearly ready to face it all.
