Although unexpected, the armour manages to get an astronomical bid by May Bannon. Happy with his grand fortune, Jackie goes back to his hotel where he discovers a big stack of messages from Alan informing Jackie of his arrival.

When Jackie and Alan meet, Alan out of desperation (although unwillingly) tells Jackie of an evil cult which has kidnapped Lorelei and demands the Armour of God as ransom. At this, Jackie sees the opportunity to remind Alan about their past failed friendship.

Jackie decides to aid Alan in rescuing Lorelei from the evil religious cult that has stolen her in hopes of Asian Hawk delivering the last three pieces of the Armor to them as they have the other two.
