Edward Kenway and John Young talk about Madam Lee being in possession of Hendrik's sea log, with the latter suggesting it is being kept at Lee's private residence, the Mandarin's House, along with her other precious goods. Edward asks John to drop him off close and states he will infiltrate Lee's residence alone. The pair sail back to Macau and Edward stealthily enters back into the city. Leaping off an edge, he locates the Mandarin's House and finds security guarding the entrance. Blending into the passing crowd, Edward finds a lone guard and knocks him out unconscious. Instantly, he climbs onto the residence's roofs and finds more guards. Running and hiding from them, Edward spots a doorway leading inside the house.
Spotting two more guards, Edward distracts them with a coin before knocking them out. Entering into Lee's room, he inspects the space and finds a hidden button shaped like a flower pot. He finds Hendrik's sea log but is caught by Madam Lee herself, who reveals her knowledge of both the Assassins and Edward's identity, and gives the ultimatum to either talk or have her guards kill him. However, they are interrupted by Shimazu Saito and more Shimazu clanninja, who killed Lee's guards outside.
In the present, DoctorShimazu Sei warns Noa Kim of the memory running into Edward's infiltration skills, telling him that full synchronization would require Edward not killing anyone during his break-in. Noa laughs at the doctor's earlier remarks of the Assassins being criminals. While in the Animus, Noa remarks on how "super-powered" Edward was.
