The man gracefully shuffles a deck of cards as he is asked for the mansion's location. The man tells them that he cannot reveal the information for free, however is unwilling to accept their money. The man, Daniel J. D'Arby, states that he will gamble with the information as a prize. Polnareff, annoyed at D'Arby's unwillingness to take the money, takes on his challenge. D'Arby throws two pieces of meat outside. The bet is deciding which one the nearby stray cat will eat first. D'Arby takes the left, and Polnareff takes the right. D'Arby decides that if he wins his prize will be Polnareff's soul. The cat takes the left, causing Polnareff to lose. As upon agreement, D'Arby uses his Osiris to take Polnareff's soul.
