Devastated by the sudden death, Matthew Lee promised to continue their plan and avenge both his daughter, Bang Da Mi, and the chairman who showed him trust to execute their plan.

In one of his get-togethers with the "seven," and to commemorate his partnership with Gium Ra Hee, he forced the group to reveal their secret after showing clips on the island.
