Hugh explains they could easily control the cigarette supply and threatens to destroy everything he treasures. Juzo gets angry and showcases power, saying that he only likes the cigarettes taste and then dispatches of Hugh's bodyguards. Hugh orders his sniper to shoot, but to his surprise he wasn't doing it as he was taken out by Mary. Juzo declines Hugh's offer and he left with the box of the cigarettes to Juzo's disappointment.

Hugh speaks with Anne and Ende, as Anne wants them to treat Ende as she is reaching her limit. But Hugh reminds them of their roles; attacking the children until they make Tetsuro show up and Anne's job is to keep Ende sane. But as they had failed, he orders his men to eliminate them, but then Tetsuro comes punching Hugh and protecting Anne and Ende. Hugh thinks that is Kyusei Group extend and orders his bodyguard to attack him, but as the bag on his head falls, he realizes that is Juzo and corrects himself, saying Anne and Ende did wonderful job, so they are being useful. As they attack, the bag on Juzo's back falls down and reveals Tetsuro's body.

He orders Anne to take Tetsuro's body, but as he give speech about not being a tool, the girls stop fighting. Hugh then shoots Ende with a drug that will cause her to lose control and leaves them, knowing that Kyusei Group won't be able to stop Ende and will blame Juzo and make him leave the place, so it will be much easier for them to deal with him, while at the same time he was keeping his promise to destroy everything Juzo's treasured.
