Summary
Yokohama, Japan, 2019
Kō Risa's cousin Mari enters a restaurant. She queries Kō Risa's mother if Risa is around. Her aunt is surprised to see her, and learns that she is back in school. Told that Risa is running late and is not there, Mari asks her aunt to tell Risa that she dropped by to say hello.
Macau, China, 1526
Wang Yangming arrives by boat and explains Macau's history to Shao Jun—that it was colonized by Portugese traders and is now one of the country's biggest trading ports. Yangming suspects that the Precursor box remains in Macau, under the control of Gu Dayong, the resident Templar leader known as "The Slaver". It is also believed that he has recently captured an Assassin informant, whom he has put up for sale. The Mentor instructs Shao Jun to assassinate Dayong and to free any slaves she comes across, as several could be surviving Brotherhood members.
Shao Jun leaps from ship to ship across Macau's harbor. Eventually landing on one in particular, she stealthily takes down several of the guards and tries to remain undetected. Below decks, two guards discuss their concerns about Dayong's safety, as both Ma Yongcheng and Gao Feng have been killed recently, reducing the Eight Tigers by a quarter of their strength. A guard suddenly shouts out and pulls from hiding a young boy who is clearly a slave that escaped captivity.
As the boy is intimidated, Shao Jun sneaks up from behind, stabbing the guard cleanly through the throat. Comforting the shocked boy, Shao Jun learns that he is the son of an Assassin, since he recognizes the Brotherhood's symbol upon her necklace.
The boy runs to the top of the ship, climbing high into the sails with Shao Jun chasing behind. Whilst standing atop the mast, he reveals that he is called Xiao Hu and that he and his Assassin father were imprisoned in the nearby fort. He pleads with Shao Jun to rescue his father, a task she gladly agrees to. She tells him to hide, and then swings on a rope away from the ship.
Infiltrating the fort, Shao Jun comes across a prison cell with a man being tortured by two guards, who are demanding to know the whereabouts of other Assassins. Shao Jun quickly dispatches the guards, and tries to rouse the heavily injured man. She realizes that this is Xiao Hu's father, and as she tries to help him escape, he protests that his legs are broken and that it is too late. He lies down again and dies shortly after. Filled with anger, Shao Jun vows vengeance upon Dayong.
