Plot synopsis

Edward Kenway and his crew arrive back in Macau with the pirate ships they seized. They are met by Jan van Aert, who offers to help Edward register the ships and keeps his promise of a five-year contract between the Dutch East India Company and the Zhang Wei Union. However, Edward refers him to Zhang, claiming that he is merely an advisor and that Zhang is the true head of the Union. Jan laughs and shakes hands with Zhang to secure the deal. This new partnership allows the Union to grow rapidly, although Edward struggles to keep up with the increasing demands of the company, finding himself overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork he must complete.

At the end of one day of work, Edward speaks with John Young and Zhang in the latter's office, discussing the Templars' plans with Angkor. To find the lost city, John suggests that they investigate the Japanese ninja who have stolen Hendrik's sea log. Zhang then reveals that Sun has been seen in the company of the Japanese lately, and that there are rumors of the ninja having split into two opposing factions: the mainland Japanese ninja and those originating from overseas. Intrigued, Edward tells John and Zhang to accompany him to the city.

At the Macau market, the trio witness an altercation between two groups of ninja in broad daylight. Edward tells John to inform Jan of the situation while he intervenes in the fight. During the battle, the Japanese ninja denounce Edward for apparently working with Shimazu Saito, who leads the overseas ninja, and attack him. Meanwhile, the overseas ninja decide to eliminate the Assassin for their master, and so Edward finds himself fighting both groups at the same time.

Eventually, an annoyed Edward fires his pistol into the air, startling the ninja and ending the fight. Uninterested in their conflict, Edward states that he only wants what Saito stole from him, and that he will fight for whichever faction can help him. At that moment, Sun arrives and reveals that the sea log is his property, just like his men, and that anyone who lays a finger on them will earn his wrath. He then claims that no one who has picked a quarrel with him has lived to tell the tale, and warns Edward to consider his next move very carefully.
