Chase's guess was right on the money—Ace did indeed plan to completely distance himself from Carmine Pawnshop, so he would never turn up anyway under the guise of "Mr. Q" ever again. He even intended to discard the SIM card with the hidden IP address. But as soon as he saw the video of Joanna being tortured in the water prison sent by Chase, he instantly lost his mind, retaining not the slightest trace of reason.
At the moment, he was accompanying Seraphina as they attended a very important family banquet of the Murphy family where they discussed the cooperation between the Moran family and the Murphy family for the next season.
Seraphina's father, Ethan Murphy, was fully satisfied with the agreement he had reached with Ace, and all throughout the evening, he had been dropping hints every now and again that they should start planning for the wedding between Ace and Seraphina.
