The scene opens up with a Japanese temple located on the hillside. The gate door was opened and the man with dark sunglasses and a black suit whistled and walked out with a woman on his shoulder. The temple belongs to Myokou, a local yakuza boss who runs a brothel and money laundering operation. The temple is in ruins as the man carrying the unconscious woman walks past the dead bodies of Myokou's men. He left the temple where three of his henchmen were waiting for him.

Hat Henchman: Boss.

The leader noticed footprints on the floor of the temple.

Boss: Hmmmm. (puts the woman on the ground) Tatsu..!!! Take this for me. Please put it in my room.

Henchman Tatsu: Yes, sir.

Tatsu takes the woman and leaves the temple.

Boss: Joe... Tome... Let's talk.

The boss shows Joe the footprints in one of the temples.

Boss: These are your footprints, Joe. I told you to stay outside and explained exactly why I wanted you to do so. It upsets me that you take my rules so lightly.

Joe Tome: I heard something inside, so...

Boss: No excuses, Joe. (sits down) I'll give you twenty seconds. 1... 2... 3...

Joe Tome: (panicking) Please, boss!! It's me, Joe!

Boss: 4... 5...

Joe started to run in fear, attempting to escape.

Boss: (sighs) Pity. I lost another disciple. (takes out a walkie-talkie)

Joe runs past the temple gate and heads towards the forest.

Boss: Push the blue button.

Henchman: (on radio) Roger!!

Joe tries to run away, but his leg gets caught on the wire and falls on spikes, killing him as sharp razor spikes pierce through his body.

Boss: I hope he enjoyed his trip.

Henchman: I think Joe may be right about that, boss. While we checked each temple to make sure Myokou's men were dead, I heard something creaking on the floor.

Boss: You're just a delusion, Ozaki. We've wiped out his operation and now we have his woman. Now, stop worrying and get back to work before you end up like him.

Henchman Ozaki: Y-Yes boss! Sorry boss!! (runs off)

The boss smirked before walking out of the temple, but unbeknownst to him, Andrew Hoshio was spying on them by hiding to avoid being detected by the boss's men before came out of hiding and followed the boss. However, he is stopped by someone putting a hand on the wall. That person is revealed to be Lupin himself.

Boss: Lupin?!

Lupin: Mister Danshiyaku, I persume.

Danshiyaku: Are you here to kill me?
