Summary
The Sanctity of the Ring is a serious notion taken to heart. Imperium had lived and breathed that notion. But when the interpretations of what it really means start to change, things will come to blows, even between those that had been the closest: Ludwig Kaiser, who will stop at nothing to prove he is who he is meant to be as El Grande Americano, and Gunther, who will stop at nothing to rip that mask to shreds.

Summary
When El Grande Americano is attacked, left battered and alone, the question isn't 'what happened', but 'who did this, and why'. More important is the question of how the masked man can rise against this injustice if he has forgotten who he has become and reverted back to European Excellence. And how can his allies help bring Grande back while fighting off the looming shadow behind the incident in the first place, growing day by day?
It's all a matter of resiliency - how long can Ludwig Kaiser keep picking himself back up and keep the fight going?
