Liam’s agent puts him on the spot with a long-planned reveal of Gabriel August’s true identity, but Sophie doesn’t know of his public persona. The longer Liam avoids telling her the truth, the deeper a hole he digs for himself. Will their romance survive once his true identity comes to light?

Just when Chloe believes she’s on the brink of embracing her future, her publisher extends a dazzling opportunity for a high-profile New Year’s Eve appearance on a major network show.

Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya) and Tamura (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi) returned to Tokyo to confront Okada (Yuki Matsumura). However, waiting for them was a notice of succession from the Hasekai, which was supposed to be under the Kyowakai's control. Upon learning that Okada’s faction had ties to the Hasekai's new successor, Himuro immediately severed ties, bringing the direct showdown between the Kyowakai and Marugami-kai closer. Meanwhile, Reiko (Reira Arai), who had been hiding with Genji (Kuroishi Takahiro), continued living in hiding, harboring distrust towards Genji and others. Despite this, she remained focused on her vengeance against the Kyowakai. While Himuro and the others tried to clear up Reiko's misunderstanding for Minami (Rin Asuka), Reiko refused to listen. Gradually, she became more involved with Okada’s faction, who were willing to use anything for the war against the Kyowakai.

In 1970, a picture of a snow monkey bathing in a hot spring graced the cover of Life Magazine. Ever since, Japan's hot-tubbing primates have been protected and well fed for the enjoyment of tourists and photographers - they have become international superstars of the natural world. But while their unique lifestyle has brought fame, the rest of Japan's snow monkeys lead very different lives, enduring incredible hardships as they fight for survival in their beautiful but unforgiving mountain home.

Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya), who joined Kyowakai, steadily rose through the ranks with his calm and clear mind. Tamura (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi) was also released from prison and Ryuseikai was thought to gain even more power. At that time, there is an internal split in Kyowakai as a whole, caused by an unusual executive appointment, and Himuro and others get caught in the vortex. After the conflict, the leader of the Ueda group, Ueda (Okazaki Jiro) and other gang members withdrew from Kyowakai, create a new organization called Shintokai in Kyoto, and attack Kyowakai executives.

Factional infighting erupts under the new leadership of Kudo (Hakuryu), the second chairman of the Kyowakai, worsening relations between the Mikami-gumi and the Shintokai led by Ueda (Jiro Okazaki). Amid the rising tension, Kawatani (Hitoshi Ozawa)—a benefactor to Mikami-gumi lieutenant Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya) and Tamura (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi)—is shot. When Tamura learns the attack was carried out by the Shintokai, he infiltrates Ueda’s residence alone and carries out the assassination. At the same time, Kawabata (Tatsuo Umemiya), chairman of the Kansai Shiseikai, begins his move to crush the Mikami-gumi, standing in the way of Himuro and his men as they climb toward nationwide domination.

The Kyowakai-Shintokai War came to a close with the disbandment of the Shintokai. While Kyowakai’s second-generation chairman, Kudo (Hakuryu), pushes forward with his ambition to unify Japan’s underworld, Kawatani remains stubbornly indecisive. Meanwhile, in Nagasaki prison, Tamura (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi) is approached by a man bearing a ceremonial sake cup from Mikami… At the same time, Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya) enters Kawasaki Prison, only to come face-to-face with his old rival, Akimoto (Sho Aikawa). With former Shintokai member Sugamoto joining in, a fierce power struggle erupts behind bars, where the stakes are nothing less than the yakuza crests themselves.

Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya) is released from prison, seen off by Akimoto (Sho Aikawa). Shortly after his release, gang boss Mikami (Eiichi Furui) asks Himuro to join the crew of his sworn brother, Kawatani (Hitoshi Ozawa). However, Omiya (Kazuyoshi Ozawa), who values the old-school yakuza code and respects Mikami, grows increasingly displeased with Himuro’s casual shift of allegiance. Ignoring Mikami’s attempts to calm him, Omiya spirals out of control—raiding territories and even turning on his own men. Seeing Omiya become a living instrument of violence, Himuro steps in to stop him.
