Plot summary[edit | edit source]
Edward Kenway overhears Madam Lee's workers talking about her recent purchase of Hendrik's sea log, yet his current objective is to steal enough salt and sugar for Zhang's village without being detected. Before he can act, Edward sees a bomb being thrown into the storehouse and everything catching on fire. Using this attack as a distraction, Edward jumps down and starts to loot the resources he came for. Trying to sneak past the workers, he is noticed but tells the workers that the fire should be their primary concern. Suddenly, the workers are cut down by ninja, who recognize and attack Edward.
Three ninja charge at the Assassin, who dodges their attacks. He kills the three with ease, shocking two remaining ninja on horseback. They shoot at Edward, who takes cover behind some crates. Dodging one of the ninja, he jumps over the other and kills him instantly. He then sees the last ninja attempting to flee and throws a sword into his horse's leg. Stuck, the ninja tries to stab Edward, but the Assassin disarms him and holds his Hidden Blade to his throat. He tries to interrogate him, but the ninja reveals his knowledge of the Assassins and proclaims himself to be part of the Shimazu clan before committing suicide with Edward's blade.
In the Animus, Noa Kim recognizes the word "Assassins" and recalls an earlier conversation with Shimazu Sei, who explained that the eternal war between the Assassins and Templars left bloodshed and trails of violence, mostly due to the Assassins' cause of fighting for freedom. However, Noa retorted that the Templars are no better, due to them kidnapping him and others to use them as lab rats. Noa states to himself that he will see the truth through his time in Edward's memories.
Edward packs his sugar and salt quotas onto a horse before being spotted by several arriving Dutch East India Company soldiers. The soldiers open fire on him, prompting Edward to flee from the burning storehouse on horseback.
