Plot summary[edit | edit source]
Edward Kenway and John Young return to Zhang's village with two chests of treasure and other goods that Edward received from Madam Lee. While the villagers enjoy the gifts, John asks if this means they are now working for Lee, to which Edward clarifies that they are simply allies of convenience. He then invites John to accompany him on his upcoming expedition to Angkor, much to the navigator's excitement.
Despite being told by Lee to lie low for the time being, Edward reveals that he has a plan to acquire more information. Having used part of the treasure to purchase expensive clothes, he has Zhang and his fellow laborers put them on so that they would appear to be of a higher social status and, thus, be able to secure work contracts for major trading companies across Macau. Edward hopes that if the laborers manage to get close to the company higher-ups, they will overhear valuable tidbits of information and report them back to him.
In the present, Shimazu Sei decides to let Noa Kim know more about the Assassins as promised, and uses the Animus to send him information about the most notorious of them, Ezio Auditore. One of the scientists remarks that Noa has achieved the most stable synchronization rates since Subject 17, before the Animus loads the next sequence of Edward's memories.
After being informed by Zhang that higher-ups from three of Madam Lee's rival trading companies will be holding a meeting, Edward goes to Macau to meet with him. Zhang points Edward to one of the attendees, Alan Jacob of the Far East Company, and the Assassin proceeds to follow his target across the city until he reaches the meeting spot: St. Dominic's Church. After tossing a pouch of coins to create a commotion and distract the guards outside, Edward sneaks into the church and observes the other two attendees: Jan van Aert of the Dutch East India Company, and Sun of the Hualien Trading Company. He then decides to wait and see which of his three targets is working for the Templars.
