Louis continuing with his role reveals to know Bill's actions and challenges him to a real combat. Bill is intimidated by the Louis's imposing figure and runs away from the scene. Later, the other club members confront Bill and Legoshi for their fight. Legoshi admits that he was the one who started the fight and does not betray Bill, because the function turned out to be a success and nobody from the public noticed the real situation.

Aoba removes a newspaper from Bill's backpack and claims he is not completely sincere since he seems to be worried about Louis. Although Bill denies it at first, Bill reveals that he only did what he wanted because Louis continued to trample on him and due to Louis's abrasive personality and arrogance.
