The chapter begins with Jing Ke's gruesome death, followed by his revival, and the team tracking the Vampire Destroyer to a cave. The Destroyer reveals their plans and the protection offered by Duke Dracula. A deal is proposed: the Destroyer will limit Dracula’s killings if allowed to live, threatening an attack on Istanbul otherwise. The Enforcers reject the compromise, confident they can defeat the Destroyer before he reaches the city and plan a confrontation.
