Caine encounters an old guy on his travels who has various surprises in store for him. The first is the man's destruction of the Shaolin order; the second is that he is the father of the Emperor's nephew, whom he murdered in China; and the third is that he seeks vengeance by using the son Caine never knew he spawned as the instrument of his death. It will take all of Caine's ability and judgment to find a way out of this perilous situation.
