==Plot==
Kiryu returns to New Serena but finds Date unconscious and Yasuko gone. Just a while prior, Yasuko recognized the alleged "district attorney" raiding Sky Finance as one of Katsuragi's men and, fearing they would come after her, she drugged Date to sneak away. Kiryu goes out into the streets to search for Yasuko and eventually spots her heading into the sewers with Akiyama and Tanimura, whom she contacted in Little Asia.
In the sewers, Yasuko, Akiyama and Tanimura realize that someone is following them as they head towards Purgatory, where Akiyama has learned Yasuko's brother Taiga has been hiding. Tanimura gives Yasuko his gun for protection and tells her to go ahead while they hold off their pursuer. Yasuko does as instructed, not realizing that Kiryu is the one following them. When Kiryu catches up to Akiyama and Tanimura, he mistakes them for Munakata's goons, since Tanimura is a police officer. Akiyama and Tanimura try to stop Kiryu, but he easily beats both of them before heading to Purgatory.
When he arrives, he finds the place trashed and the Florist heavily injured. The Florist tells Kiryu that Katsuragi and the Ueno Seiwa attacked and took over the Kamurocho Hills construction site and then raided Purgatory; taking Saejima as a hostage. When Yasuko arrived seeking her brother, they captured her as well. The Florist also reveals that Kido has betrayed both Akiyama and Saejima by joining forces with Katsuragi. Not only that, Kido also told Katsuragi about Akiyama's secret vault, which he'd previously found in the Sky Finance office. The district attorney's raid was actually just a cover for the Ueno Seiwa to steal Akiyama's vast cash reserves. Katsuragi has realized that Munakata has moved on to using the Tojo Clan to control the underworld and thus has no more use for the Ueno Seiwa or him, so he decided to take Kamurocho Hills by force and steal Akiyama's money to increase his Clan's power and resist Munakata's attempt to eliminate them.
