Story[]

The story starts out with Kienji spying on Yuuma and the Triad Chief making a trade, and Kienji is shocked. Before the Triad Chief could spot him, he ran off.

Kienji goes on a quest to find Kiro to notify him, and battles the Triad guards, then drives away. He then spies on a triad guard on his phone and kills him. Then he sees Shigeru surrounded by triads and helps him battle their way out. Shigeru thanks Kienji for his help. Kienji asks if Shigeru knows where Kiro is, then Shigeru informs him that he's on another case.

Later on, they arrive and fight the Triads, Shigeru loudly shouts questioning where Hayate is. Kienji says they need a keycard to open a door, later Kienji finds it, then he and Shigeru see Hayate dead and turned into a diversion, then explodes. Triads surround them back and forth, as they battle out, they meet up with Shawn thinking Shigeru was dead.

Then Kienji explains why he was urgently looking for Kiro, but before he could finish, he is shot and killed by Vinnie, who was hired by someone in the Yakuza.
