With Yuki's help, Kazuo delved into the city's underworld, seeking information about the mysterious figure behind the rumors. Their investigation led them to a hidden meeting place where Kenjiro and his henchmen were planning their next move.
Kazuo confronted Kenjiro, demanding to know why he was spreading lies. Kenjiro revealed his identity and his vendetta against the family, his eyes burning with hatred. "Your grandfather ruined my brother," Kenjiro spat. "Now, I will ruin you."
The confrontation turned violent, with Kenjiro's henchmen attacking Kazuo. Yuki, unwilling to leave Kazuo to fight alone, joined the fray, using her agility and quick thinking to aid him. Together, they managed to fend off the attackers and escape, but Kazuo was gravely wounded in the process.
