In February 1722, Edward traveled to Africa once more in pursuit of Roberts, arriving at the very same stronghold that had held his target captive years before. Roberts attempted to flee aboard the ''Royal Fortune'', but the ship was soon disabled by the ''Jackdaw''. After boarding the enemy vessel, Edward dueled Roberts and emerged victorious upon impaling his opponent with a rope dart. <ref name="Royal Misfortune">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Royal Misfortune]]</ref>

In his final moments, Roberts remorsefully remarked that perhaps Edward was indeed the one "[[Juno|she]]" had sought, and that he wished he had only had time to open the door to the [[Grand Temple|Temple]]. Before Edward could get any more answers, Roberts passed away, requesting that his body be destroyed to prevent the Templars from acquiring it.

At that moment, however, the beach was again struck by cannon fire and, during the confusion, Xue Yan released Qing and dropped the amulet's chest, causing the artifact to fall out.

During his mission, Edward made several new allies with whom he established the [[Zhawang Corporation\|Zhang Wei Union]], an organization that would continue to work alongside the Assassins for generations to come. These allies greatly aided Edward in his quest, which came to a head inside the [[Forgotten Temple (Isu)\|Forgotten Temple]], an Isu [[Temple (Isu)\|complex]] in [[Angkor]] possessing advanced powers. Edward and his companions successfully prevented their enemies from seizing control of the temple, whereupon they split and hid the Pieces of Eden.

	Following his return to London, Edward retired from active Assassin duty to focus on raising and training his son in the Assassin ways. However, in 1735, he was killed in his family estate by mercenaries in the employ of the Templar [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Reginald Birch]], who sought to acquire Edward's journal.

	~~After~~ a ~~brief conversation between~~ the two ~~about~~ the Assassins and the true meaning of their Creed, Tulum was once again beset by Spanish troops. Despite Ah Tabai's reservations, he realized that Mary had seen something in Edward, and so chose to place his trust in the man.

Reflecting on his actions since coming to the Caribbean, Edward noted that he had achieved his goal: he was now a rich man. At the expense of others, he had achieved the financial prosperity he desired; yet in doing so, he had lost nearly everyone he cared about. Hearing this sincere self-reflection, Ah Tabai approached, reassuring the pirate that it was not too late to change his ways. Wishing to honor Mary's final request, Edward asked the Mentor to help him make amends for his past misdeeds.<ref name="Everything Is Permitted"/>

			The two men walked for a while, discussing the Assassins and the true meaning of their Creed. This time, Edward did not take the maxim at face value, and instead reflected on the wisdom hidden behind the words.

Learning that her newborn child had not survived, Edward found camaraderie with Anne in the wake of their friends' deaths. He eventually offered her the position of quartermaster in Adéwalé's steed, which she accepted.<ref name="Everything Is Permitted"/>

	Around this time, Edward finally unlocked the temple door in Tulum which Mary had shown him years ago, after collecting enough Mayan keystones.

	While most of the crew panicked, Edward deduced that the Spanish were only firing warning shots and decided to wait and learn their intentions.

Before Edward could get any more answers, Roberts passed away, requesting that his body be destroyed to prevent the Templars from acquiring it.
