Part 4/8:
In a harrowing rush, Shin grabs Heel's sword and escapes the village just before assassins arrive. Along the way, he bravely faces a group of local thugs, defeating them easily with his skills honed over years of training. Yet, his journey leads him to a shocking revelation: he comes face to face with King Zhang, who bears a striking resemblance to Heel.
Zhang explains that General Chang orchestrated Heel's involvement in a grand ruse to protect him by using Heel as a decoy. Tragically, Heel's sacrifice has left Shin furious, feeling betrayed by the king’s plan. Their confrontation is cut short by an attack from assassins loyal to Prince Saikyo, leaving Shin even more resolved to avenge his friend.
