He continues his quest with a new mission to seek out the French chapter of The Fraternity, to hunt down The Immortal, and finally discover the truth about his family.

Breaking it, they find a decoded Kill Order in its frame. After hunting down these intruders, Wesley confronts Araña, an assassin sent by the Barcelona Fraternity. Pekwarsky, the Fraternity's master bullet-maker arrives and drives Araña off. He informs Wesley that he is the primary target on the Fraternity's black list.

Inside, he confronts The Russian, who notices that Fox's body is gone. Wesley kills him, and noticing a binary code on his arm, he severs it for further inspection. Pekwarsky tells him that The Russian was one of the Guardians sent to collect the Loom. Three of these are sent from various Fraternities and their codes reveal the place where they intend to move the Loom.

SHUT THE F**KUP[]

Wesley secretly tags along with Pekwarsky and kills Brummel, taking his piece of the code as well. However, Wesley notices that Pekwarsky is holding something back - Pekwarsky is really after the Kill Order that was taken at the beginning of the game.

SHOOT THAT MOTHERF**KER![]

After Cross returns to the Chicago Fraternity, he confronts Sloan for giving him a false Kill Order and framing him as a rogue assassin. Before the two can quarrel, the Paris Fraternity invades the Chicago Fraternity looking for Cross. During the fight, he discovers a Kill Order for Sloan and realizes his treachery. However, Sloan turns Cross'S comrades against him and Cross is forced to flee. The Immortal chases him and in a duel with him, Cross fires a bullet straight into the Immortal's gun which explodes, severely damaging the French-man's face.

DUST TO DUST[]

Back in the present, Wesley heads to confront the Immortal.

HOW'S YOUR FATHER?[]

However, just before they have a final duel, the Immortal reveals a twist; it was Cross who killed Alyse, with the two lovers mutually agreeing that following the Code was the only way it could end. The Immortal was merely sent to kill Wesley, who was considered an abomination by the Code. After defeating the French-man, Wesley has a philosophical dialogue with the Immortal. The latter says that even though Wesley's parents were fanatics, they put their faith in the Loom, and that no great human endeavor was ever achieved without faith. Wesley has had enough, and fires the bullet with Wesley's name on it at the Immortal, ending his life.
