Five months later, Wax is in attendance at a party back in [[Elendel]], where he is known as "Lord Waxillium" or "Lord Ladrian," but is adamant in avoiding conversation. He makes his way to the balcony to be alone. The death of Lessie still haunts him. Wax has returned to Elendel in the wake of his uncle's death to do his duty to his house. Lady [[Aving Cett]] appears on the balcony, urging Wax to rejoin the party. Instead, Wax slips off the balcony and drops a bullet casing to Push himself over the garden wall. Spending his time bounding across rooftops and soaring through the air, Wax eventually comes across a bunch of criminals in an alleyway with constables blockading the entrance. Intending to deal with them, he drops in their midst but hesitates as he hears a woman whimpering. Wax narrowly avoids taking a bullet thanks to his steel bubble, barely missing his ribs. Still unable to shoot, Wax points his gun at the floor, fires, and uses the bullet to Push himself out of the alleyway. Watching from afar as the constables swarm the alleyway, he realizes the whimpering woman was actually a thug that had taken a bullet before his arrival.

Eight hours later, Waxillium attempts to distract himself with reading and ends up investigating the history of the Vanishers in old [[The Elendel Daily|broadsheets]]. He begins to wonder about their methods when Tillaume enters the study with tea. Wax begins sketching out the events to help him think while Tillaume cleans the room. Tillaume informs Wax he has duties to his house, disapproving of Wax getting involved with the robberies. Needing answers, he prays to [[Harmony]] in the [[Pathism|Pathian]] way and comes to realize that Tillaume was right: many people rely on him to be an effective lord. After a while meditating, thoughts straying back to Lessie, Wax seats himself at his desk to work on house ledgers.

Wax escorts Steris to the [[Yomen-Ostlin wedding dinner]]. They talk of the politics behind those in attendance, and Wax's unorthodox reactions cause Steris to question his lack of decorum. Their table is already occupied by Lord Harms and Marasi when they seat themselves. Wax inquires about Marasi's education, and Wayne turns up, disguised as their waiter. Wayne attempts to communicate secretly with Wax as Wax attempts, and succeeds, in shocking Steris with old tales of his time in the Roughs. When Wax and Marasi find themselves alone at the table, Wayne returns and sits down, knowing that Marasi has recognized him. After a round of banter, the talk turns to the investigation Wayne has conducted shortly before the doors at both ends of the ballroom are flung open.

Wax estimates the Vanishers to number two or three dozen. Marasi makes notes of their physical descriptions while Wax attempts to mollify Wayne; he wants to fight the bandits, while Wax is worried for the safety of everyone in the room and doesn't want to cause a bloodbath. The bandits move through the crowd demanding that people relinquish their jewelry. When one reaches Wax's table, he hides Marasi's notebook and Wayne's dueling canes against the table with a gentle [[Allomancy|Push]] to hold them. The apparent [[Miles Dagouter|leader]] searches, comparing the drawings in his hand with the people at each table, confirming Wax and Wayne's suspicion about the kidnappings: the theft is a ruse to allay suspicion. Steris is the first hostage to be picked "at random." When the bandit leader declares they're taking two hostages, Marasi is also chosen. Wax's honor contends with his concern for the lives of the bystanders. Wayne attempts to fight only to have Wax try to talk him out of it again. Lord [[Peterus]], having recovered from being knocked down for his earlier outburst, calls the bandit leader a coward, prompting the man to shoot him. When the bandit leader then tells his men they can have some fun, Wayne erects a speed bubble and Wax finally gives in to his inner instincts.

As soon as the speed bubble drops, Wax kills two of the bandits, his gunshots setting off the group behind him while those in front, having seen Wax, take cover. Wax shows off more of his fanciful expertise with his powers and comes to a startling realization on the identity of the Vanishers' leader. Wax goes after [[Tarson]] to rescue Marasi. Tarson holds Marasi hostage similar to how Bloody Tan held Lessie, making Wax freeze again. Only thanks to Marasi stunning Tarson is he able to bring his gun up, wounding the thug in the arm. Wax and Wayne, with a little help from Marasi wielding a rifle, dispatch the majority of the bandits, only to allow the leader to escape with Steris right before the constabulary shows up.

Marasi decides to visit Wax at his mansion, where he is engaged with metallurgy, trying to discover the exact alloy used in the aluminum gun. Marasi informs Wax that Lord Harms is willing to bankroll Wax in his endeavor to rescue Steris. The two of them attempt to reason out the motives of the Vanishers and their operation and come to the conclusion that the women who were taken hostage by the Vanishers were taken for the purpose of breeding Allomancers. Meanwhile, Wax sends Wayne to investigate the Vanishers who were arrested.

Wayne strides into the Fourth Octant constabulary offices disguised as a Seventh Octant Captain, seeking Captain Brettin. Wayne--Captain Guffon Trenchant--convinces Brettin to grant him interviews some of the Vanishers. With Brettin overseeing from the door, Wayne alternates between playing a constable and whispering in street accents, hoping to convince the detainees to give up the information he seeks on the Vanishers. He manages to glean some information from the two he interrogates and leaves with Brettin none the wiser.

Waxillium and Marasi are debating philosophy, and Wax's past is brought up again, as well as Marasi's education. Wayne returns with the information he gained from the constabulary. Tillaume makes tea for Wax which Wayne procures for himself in order to take more bendalloy. Wax accidentally insults Marasi and Wayne discovers the tea has been poisoned. Tillaume attempts to assassinate Wax with a gun, but Wax injures the butler instead. Concern for Wayne causes Wax to miss Tillaume triggering the bomb in the basket he'd brought with him. Wayne, having recovered a little thanks to his [[Gold#Feruchemical Use|Feruchemical ability]] throws up a speed bubble just as the basket explodes. Wax then taps the weight he had Feruchemically stored, breaking the floor and causing them to fall through to the room below, though Wayne is badly burnt on the back from the explosion. Presumed dead, they use the cover as an opportunity to go after the Vanishers.

Wax, Wayne, and Marasi sneak out of Ladrian Mansion and take a carriage to the Fifth Octant, where they locate the Vanishers' hideout near a canal dock. Wax searches the building for traps before waving Marasi over. They discover more clues to the Vanishers' operation, and Marasi uncovers more of the duo's past when Wayne decides to play a frightening prank on Marasi. The two of them find an expensive cigar box left behind. Wax returns after gleaning information from the local beggars. Wayne hands him the cigar box, to which Wax responds by asking Marasi if she's heard of the name [[Miles Dagouter]].

Not wanting to risk bystanders, Wax Pushes himself to the roof of the railcar. Their battle is intense, with Wax barely managing to hold out against the nearly immortal Miles. Mid-battle, Miles tries to convince Wax of his ideology shortly before knocking Wax off the train. Pushing on the railway tracks, Wax manages to catch up to the train. Tossing Miles a spent cartridge and Pushing sends Miles flying off of the train this time. Unable to Push, Miles is stranded on the tracks. Wax rides on the roof to the next stop.

At the train station, Wayne in an old woman's disguise tricks a guard into revealing information about the [[Breaknaught]]. When the guard grows suspicious at the questions, Wayne makes a break for it, firing a shot into the air to instigate panic among the crowd. Out of sight of the pursuing guards, Wayne changes his disguise in a speed bubble and then confronts the guards, sounding like a member of the Tekiel family. Another quick change sees him in a Tekiel guard uniform, and he reports for duty with Wax as the "extra help" Lord Tekiel had sent. A series of gunshots are the perfect distraction for getting Wax inside the Breaknaught. Faking a gunshot wound when Marasi begins shooting, Wax is thrown into the Breaknaught by Wayne as the nearest place of safety for the "wounded" guard. Wayne then quickly shuts the door, the timer mechanism locking it, and the train sets off with Wax still inside. The captain importantly announces that they have repelled an attack by the Vanishers, and Wayne slips away.

Miles runs away, shouting back about his men going to kill Steris. Wax uses the Hazekiller round on Push. When the Coinshot tries to Push the bullet back at Wax, the ceramic portion of the bullet takes him right in the eye. Pursuing the Vanishers, Wax rescues Steris and [[Nouxil]], sending the latter out the window into the canal. He crushes the building and lets Steris escape. Tarson takes Marasi hostage, and Wax shouts for one of Wayne's speed bubbles. Wax shoots a bullet, which is deflected when it exits the bubble. Studying its trajectory, Wax fires a second bullet just as Wayne drops the bubble and deflects the first one once again, nailing Tarson in the head. Wayne injures Miles long enough to escape. Miles beats Wax up, but Wax endures it in order to keep Miles occupied while Marasi is burning [[cadmium]]. The world outside Marasi's bubble is greatly accelerated, giving Wayne enough time to mobilize the constabulary. They arrive just as Miles notices the speed bubble and arrest him.

Wax compliments Marasi on her courage and turns her down when she seems to suggest her feelings for him, though he does feel slightly regretful. Brettin gives Wax a citywide deputized forbearance, surprising Wax at this uncharacteristic reaction. Steris shows her vulnerability, expressing her flaws and her acceptance of Wax's personality. Wax tells her he intends to take up Brettin's offer, to which she replies that every man must have his hobbies. They decide to go ahead with the engagement.
