In this chapter, we learn that the imperial court of Great Wu is pleased with the skill of a man like Kimura. Kimura reminds us that success does not come from "anarchy" , and that success comes from "man's moderation" . He tells us that he is here to persuade Kimura to "act with moderation" and not to be "reckless." Kimura tells him that the great wealth of the Great Wu will make it difficult for him to escape. He also tells Kimura that the young master Lin and his elder brother, Gu, are "not ordinary folks," and that they have defeated a few "ronin" in a battle at sea. He asks Kimura why he is not on his knees before the Shimada clan head, and Kimura replies that he has lost "all semblance of etiquette" and apologizes for his "mischief." He tells her that the trade contract with the Ge family has expired, and they need to renew it in the central capital.
