The Return of the Tycoon

**The Return of the Tycoon** is the fifteenth episode of Season 2 and the thirty-ninth episode of *Championess Crown of Yo Shi Nam*.

## Summary

Veranda comes face-to-face with William once again in a magical battle, and a former Adrian Orion supporter, who is staying in Yo Shi Nam on her spring break vacation, joins him and Anucha (because Khung is still Angus) on his quest to repurchase the Old Black Tower.

## Plot

The episode begins with Yo Shi Nam getting ready to celebrate the Day of New Beginnings. Veranda is seen telling Van, Kate, and Khung (who is still disguised as Angus) a legend that the Day of New Beginnings is all about: new beginnings. Suddenly, Anucha shows up for an update, to which “Angus” tries to wave him away. Kate, Veranda, and Van notice “Angus”’ behavior and inquire what’s going on with his hair which is turning black and his skin which is slowly becoming Asian again. Realizing that the shapeshifting potion is finally wearing off, “Angus” steals an infinite shapeshifting potion from Van to regain his disguise so he doesn’t get caught. Unbeknownst to them, Anucha spies on that and goes to meet William, who refuses to give him more shapeshifting potions for Khung, stating it’s his (Khung) fault for having failed to gain the Edinburghan crown topazes earlier and has him take a gemstone so useful it will help him make his powers stronger. Anucha asserts that he’s helping out on the Day of New Beginnings, which Veranda had invited everyone in Yo Shi Nam to celebrate. Hearing this, William and Anucha decide to sneak into the Old Black Tower the following day. He also warns that if Anucha fails to steal the useful gemstone by then, he will take over the task from there. After Anucha gives William a fedora to cover his hair with and sunglasses for his eyes, he heads back to the Old Black Tower with him by his side.

Meanwhile, Kate teaches two twelve year old villagers named Phichit and Nong Yao how to dance the Manora while Veranda and Van practice their routine. When they see that they need more performers, Veranda asks Kate to let the two join in. Kate gladly takes Nong Yao and Phichit to see them. The next day, the Day of New Beginnings, Veranda and Van hand everyone their festival outfits. Suddenly, Kate and Joe show up with “Angus”, who politely refuses his new outfit. Veranda tells him he’s fine and that everyone should be welcoming. Kate reveals that she wants to show Joe her new dancing students whom he and “Angus” meet in person. Bunny also arrives to inform Kate, Joe, “Angus”, and the two studenta of a strange activity going on because one of the guards have been spying on two people who are planning to sneak into a secret entrance to the Old Black Tower that leads to the treasury. Joe goes to the main entrance to the treasury to keep an eye on any thefts, accompanied by two more guards. Meanwhile, the disguised William and Anucha arrive in the Tower with the rest of the crowd. Elsewhere, Veranda, Van, Kate, and her two students are seen doing their routine for the Day of New Beginnings. While Nong Yao does perfectly, Phichit has a little trouble and Kate encourages him to try again until he gets the hang of it. After a successful routine, the group sets out to the festival when one of the guards stops Veranda on the way out and informs her that the two suspicious people had found a way into the secret entrance. Suspicious too, Veranda has him find them immediately and wants proof too.

Meanwhile, a villager from America named Jamie Swanson had arrived in Yo Shi Nam to start her spring break. She is fascinated by all the perfectly designed buildings and houses and amazed by the clothing that the Yosh people wear. After taking a few pictures, she goes to visit the Old Black Tower next. She manages to make it when she sees a crowd of people in her way. She finds out that today is the Day of New Beginnings. She makes her way through the crowd when she runs into William and Anucha. When she asks who they are, the two introduce each other and ask for her help: if she helps them steal the useful gemstone to give him enough power to finish Veranda and Van and repurchase the Old Black Tower, he will promote her. She takes the deal and the three go to enter the treasury. As Veranda, Van, Kate, and the two kids perform for the crowd, William and Anucha group arrives at the secret entrance in disguise with Jamie’s help (Day of New Beginnings), and William is able to steal the gemstone from its bracelet and use it to gain full power, breaking the bracelet in half during the process.

Meanwhile, the two guards walk up to Veranda and inform her that their suspicions have been confirmed. Luckily, the performance is over and Veranda, Van, and Kate join Joe and Bunny to see what’s going on only to encounter with William, again, and his group. Veranda is shocked by this and finds out that the Jetjirawats have been working for him (despite the fact that Khung is still Angus) this whole time. William tries to kill the twins, but Bunny steps in and blocks the hit with his sword which results in his (William) new charm being shattered, forcing his group to retreat. Veranda’s then proceeds to go after them. Along the way, they encounter with four separate paths. Veranda suggests they split up, but Van and her friends oppose this as it’s too dangerous, so she agrees and has Bunny assemble the royal guard to go after William’s group when they get back to the Old Black Tower. She then realizes one of the ultimate tests: to defeat William for good, ending the episode.
