==Plot synopsis==
Noa Kim attacks Nathan Zhang with both his bracer and his fists, but the latter easily blocks or dodges all of his attacks before tossing Noa into a clothing stall. He then lunges at Noa using a move that the latter recognizes as being used by the Assassins. In disbelief, Noa questions how Nathan could be an Assassin, to which the latter claims that Noa is not the only one with ancestors and that he has studied all the knowledge passed down through generations of the Zhang Wei Union. He then warns Noa that he is about to experience how a real Assassin fights.
Meanwhile, Shimazu Sei, having survived her fall, is found by Abstergo guards and tells them to hurry up and find Noa before he is taken by Doom Eagle. In response, one of the guards reveals that Sigma Team will arrive in one minute, meaning there is no way Doom Eagle will make it out of the mall with Noa.
Continuing their fight, Nathan tells Noa that he is a member of the Zhang Wei Union by birth and questions why he wants to side with the Templars who have kidnapped him. Noa angrily claims that he does not associate with criminals, let alone consider them "family", only for Nathan to reveal the truth about his father: he abandoned Noa because he was an Assassin and leaving his family was the only way to keep them safe when the Templars started hunting down the Brotherhood. He also implies that Sei might have helped the Templars track down several Assassins herself.
In response, Noa headbutts Nathan and viciously attacks him while claiming that he will only believe what he sees with his own eyes. After recovering from Noa's surprise attack, Nathan pins him to the ground and threatens to break his arm if he does not come with him willingly. To this, Noa laughs and tells Nathan that he will have to try harder than that, as he will not give up without a fight. 
Impressed, Nathan releases Noa and, stating that time is up due to Sigma Team's arrival, gives him the Rupiya's sea log to aid Noa in his quest. He then tells Noa to stay true to the Creed and see where it leads him, and that it is not his place to prevent Noa from following his own path, but that if he ever needs their help, the Zhang Wei Union will always be at his service. With that, Nathan leaves, moments before Sigma Team rappel down from their helicopter and surround Noa.
