Brand suffered a disastrous loss with the Night Cat Squad, incurring heavy losses and losing face in front of the Chu Group. Not only did he fail to eliminate the target he pledged to remove, but the Chu Group even managed to rescue it, delivering a loud slap in the face.
This humiliation enraged everyone at Wanlida Company, and Brand himself was furious.
In the face of the Chu Group's fierce might, Brand dared not confront them directly. He sought another way, looking for allies and methods to strike against the Chu Group, eventually selecting Farhadi as his carefully chosen partner.
Moreover, Kasam's ambiguous attitude towards the Chu Group, even belittling Brand's intention to destroy the Night Cat Squad, was something Brand could not tolerate. Finding an opportune moment, he aligned himself with Farhadi.
Farhadi, in turn, was desperate for an ally. Finding Brand as a partner was an unexpected delight.
