Utilizing this tip, Grace and her crew launch an assault on the meeting, coinciding with a police raid aimed at apprehending the triad members present. The ensuing chaos leads to numerous casualties among the triad leaders and their loyalists, with survivors facing arrest.
In the aftermath, Big Sun demands a severe retribution against Mama Sun by instructing Charles to execute Bruce. Confronted with this grim task, Charles finds himself unable to murder his brother, deliberately missing his shot. This act of defiance places Charles in a precarious position, unable to face his father without fulfilling the command.
Bruce, aware of the emotional and moral turmoil Charles is experiencing, urges him to liberate himself from Big Sun's manipulative influence. Mama Sun reveals a disturbing truth: an assassination attempt on Big Sun years prior was orchestrated as a perverse test of Charles's loyalty and capability to lead a triad.
Refusing to continue as his father's enforcer, Charles confronts Big Sun, rejecting the directive to lead a life of violence under the guise of becoming the Dragon Head. Big Sun's refusal to release Charles from his obligations prompts an attempt on the lives of Bruce and Mama Sun, though Charles manages to neutralize the threat, albeit with one assassin, Xing, managing to flee.
Amidst this turmoil, Charles is detained by Alexis, who proposes freedom in exchange for information on Big Sun's whereabouts. This deal, tied to a critical testimony by Jack Ma, holds the key to Alexis's case against the triad leader. Meanwhile, a failed assassination attempt on Mama Sun results in Xing's demise.
Faced with Alexis's ultimatum, Bruce contemplates eliminating Big Sun to ensure his family's safety. However, an accidental discharge during the confrontation critically injures Big Sun, leading to his arrest post-hospitalization.
As tranquility momentarily returns, Mama Sun discloses her ambition to ascend as the Dragon Head in Taiwan, aiming to reform the triad into a legitimate entity. Despite Bruce's reservations, he concedes to his mother's wishes. In a final act of vengeance, Mama Sun incapacitates Big Sun through a calculated medical manipulation, ensuring his powerlessness.
The finale hints at a future filled with uncertainty as Charles, despite an invitation to pursue his own path, accompanies Mama Sun to Taiwan.
