Ocho already seeking revenge for her father's death, agrees to the dying man's request, it's not too long before she tracks Yuki down. Ocho offers to buy her back from the brother owner, but he instead opts to have her risk her own virtue in a game of change against another female gambler named Christina (played by Christina Lindberg).
