Summary
Fyodor, captured by the Port Mafia on Ace's orders, is offered a chance to join forces with Ace to overthrow Mori. Instead, Fyodor proposes a deadly contest: if he wins, he regains his freedom; if he loses, he will wear a collar as a symbol of compliance. The game is simple—each player guesses whether the next card will be higher or lower than the previous one. As they play, their conversation shifts to a philosophical debate on faith, with Fyodor calmly reciting verses from Psalm 73 while Ace arrogantly claims to be a god. As the game reaches its climax, Ace mocks Fyodor, certain of his victory, but when Fyodor wins, the tables turn. In a final, desperate attempt to escape, Ace tries to end his life, but Fyodor stops him, quoting the Psalm once more before taking Ace's life, leaving him dead on the floor.
