Rothschild headquarters sent powerful figures to attack the Penguin Merchant Guild’s Paris branch after discovering that Edward Rothschild and Alice had been manipulated by illusion techniques. The guild’s Espada guards held them off, but Nathan Rothschild believed his strength and the family’s influence would prevent anyone from coming to the guild’s aid.

• Asura Kabuto absorbed the powers of Hulk, Fel Energy, and the First Hokage's Cells, then attacked Xu Yue’s Wood Clone.

• Bruce stayed at the entrance to guard against escapees while Blast and the others went underground, promising to convert Bruce’s share into A-Rank Plot Points.
