The Dantès Files: The Final Case
"Farewell, great detective..."
A great crime syndicate whose tendrils extend all across Europe. The detective travels far and wide in search of its leader, accompanied by a man claiming to be a completely ordinary merchant who only wants the bounty on the leader's head.
When the supposed mastermind is finally found, he turns out to be a man they both know well. As the detective stands on the cliff where the man disappeared, he mutters to himself, "This isn't over... I'll chase you 'round perdition's flames before I give you up. It's my job as detective to close this case once and for all!"
"I've come this far. I'll stick with you until the very end, too!"
...This will be his last case.
