The Vanishers show up as he'd planned and Wayne and Marasi watching from afar witness how the Vanishers pull off their robberies. Lifting the entire car off the tracks, a canal boat and crane steal the Breaknought, replacing the stolen car with a replica. In Miles' workshop he makes an educated guess that Wax is inside the Breaknought and has set his men to fire on any movement inside. Wrenching the door out of its frame the inside of the safe is still. Miles notices the length of string tied to the back of the door from the interior of the safe, shortly before Wax, hidden inside, pulls the string tight and setting off the dynamite taped to the back of the door.
Wax evades the Vanishers in their warehouse and comes up against Tarson. The Pewterarm knocks Vindication from his grip and the roof explodes, permitting Wayne to drop next to Wax and throw up a speed bubble. Wayne tackles Tarson and Wax leaps for Vindication which is Pushed up through the roof by Mister Suit's Coinshot thug. Retrieving it, Wax has a fierce battle outside with the Coinshot and now the Lurcher. Marasi gets in a well tied shot, bringing down the Lurcher, but the Coinshot forces Wax and Marasi back into the warehouse. Wax rushed the Vanishers to help out Wayne before noticing Miles. Throwing himself inside the train car Miles follows and is caught in Wax's trap shortly before blowing himself up to escape. Wax is seriously injured and Wayne in turn is shot trying to assist Wax.
Wax has an odd conversation with Harmony and finds the trunk Tillaume had stored his guns in. Emerging from the mists with his mistcloak on, re-armed, he shoots Miles before Miles can do anything. Wax kills the Coinshot with one of Ranette's Hazekiller rounds and goes after Miles. Tarson appears with Marasi as hostage and Wayne puts up a speed bubble at a crucial moment. Taking careful aim, Wax fires out of the bubble, aims again at the deflected and slowed bullet, then fires again as Wayne drops the bubble. The second bullet deflects the first right into Tarson's head.
Wayne escapes and Wax fights Miles barehanded. Miles overpowers Wax thanks to his healing ability until it becomes apparent that it was just a delaying tactic to allow Wayne to mobilise the constabulary. Marasi has had them in a [[cadmium]] bubble (slowing down time for those inside), allowing the constabulary to get there and arrest Miles.
Back at the constabulary, Marasi is turned down by Wax and Wax receives a forbearance from Brettin. This surprises Wax at Brettin's sudden change in character{{ref|17s|1227|5|Is Brettin TenSoon at the end?}} but he is thankful. Steris shows a little vulnerability and Wax agrees that they should go ahead with their engagement, though he feels a slight regret for Marasi.
Marasi watches Miles execution and Wax tracks down his uncle. Wax had suspected his uncle was still alive and playing the role of Mister Suit. [[Edwarn Ladrian]] still has possession of the kidnapped women and Wax's sister. Thinking his uncle broke, Edwarn shows Wax the broadsheet that announces Tekiel's collapse because of all the robberies, explaining that they, Edwarn and his associates, bought the Tekiel's business. With no proof to incriminate his uncle Wax grows angry. He has to restrain himself from pulling out a gun but he assures his uncle that he will one day kill him.
Back at Mile's execution, Marasi turns to leave when the Hundredlives is finally dead and notices a strange figure. She follow him through alleyways until eventually coming face-to-face with {{Marsh|Ironeyes}}. The former {{Inquisitor}} gives Marasi a book to give to Wax, saying that he gave it to Marasi because Wax would likely shoot him for his appearance. Ironeyes reveals he is an agent of Harmony, and that he wishes for Wax to be sufficiently informed.
Meeting up with Wayne, Wax shows him the pocket book he swiped from his uncle containing appointments and notes. Wax is determined to stop his uncle. {{quote|He would see this to the end.
