However, the hostages are scattered in four different rooms in an abandoned building making it difficult to ensure all the hostages' safety so Kin-wah suggests he take out the criminals in two of the rooms by himself in order to not alert the other criminals, who are then taken out by the rest the B.O.B. team. The B.O.B. celebrate their success with the operation where Kin-wah and He-Man also make up their differences.

Chiu then receives intel of the I.B.S.'s hideout in a village and leads to the B.O.B. to take on them. Chiu separates them into three teams, A Team led by He-Man, B-Team led by Popeye to assault them, while Kin-wah is part of the C Team that stays with Chiu. However, the I.B.S. discovers them and ambushes the A and B Team, firing heavy machine gunfire at them, so Kin-wah asks Chiu to let the C Team back them up.
