Though Funky and his crew manage to fight off the guards, he and Andy Lok the crime boss of their gang get separated with the others while protecting something very valuable to Mr Lok's company. As the others reach their escape meeting an elderly gang ally named Zen, they realize Funky and Andy Lok are still trying to catch up. Just as Andy Lok tries to make a last-ditch attempt to escape he is hit by a truck which was actually part of a trap by the PAP officers and is captured, while Funky hides in the bushes apparently foreseeing it coming.
Sometime later, Andy Lok's sister Audrey Lok (Bernice Liu) is sitting in silence at a public execution. Just as the PAP officers execute one man, Andy Lok's weeps once last time before being executed by an officers AK-47. Audrey prompts leaves the execution site and meetings with her will bearer Peter Wong (Lam Suet) who discusses her brother's will.

Audrey realizes what she wants and becomes a great fighter. She fights and kills, striving only to be triad leader. She manipulates Calf into helping her kill the other Triad members. Calf manages to eliminate several of the Triads but is eventually betrayed and murdered in cold blood by Audrey, after she has no use for him anymore. Audrey manages to kill the other Triads in her way as well, but eventually becomes more violent and aggressive to a point where she even mercilessly murders members of her own family just to secure leadership for herself.
At the end, the will reveals that Audrey and her brother's father wanted his children to leave Hong Kong and have a better life while the gang leadership will go to the co-workers. However, Audrey got greedy, and betrayed her brother and everyone in between, killing them all and only used Calf to help kill the Triads she could not face herself.

Dumby is gunned down by Audrey's bodyguards but Audrey's panics as she is not able to escape's Dumbys grasp.
