[[File:Acca Howler and Stand.png|thumb|right|Howler worries about the flow of money changing]]
On the flight back to Honolulu, Howler fools around with his flight attendants. He has them lie in his lap while he drips different flavors of dashi stock on their tongues. Howler offers to buy all of Hokkaido, Japan for them when he gets the chance, and wants to go to an onsen again with them. One of the women tells him that they'll be preparing to land soon, another tells him to fasten his seatbelt, and the third closes up the zipper on his shorts. After arriving at Honolulu, Howler gives them each goodbye kisses and says that they're all as lovely as flowers.

On the way to the parking lot, Acca curses at the people who protest against him. He suddenly notices the presence of three individuals standing beside him. They are [[Key West]], a lawyer; [[Laem Chabang]], a police officer; and [[Ningbo]], a firefighter. Their friend [[Bobby Jean]] has died, something having shot through his skull. Acca tells them to look for [[Lulu]], who has disappeared from the hospital without a trace, and promises a reward, telling them that their job is just to protect his interests. Despite his bossy demeanor, Laem Chabang sees through Acca thanks to the fear-smelling nematodes she keeps on her glasses and knows that he is afraid in reality. As they leave, the group assures Acca that they will find Lulu and the culprits who are after him, though Key West ominously tells Acca to have no fear, because those who are afraid will eventually lose. Finally, Key West reveals that she has a lead — Bobby Jean's search history reveals that he was researching [[Paco Laburantes]].<ref name="TJL21">{{Ch|TJL Chapter 21}}</ref>
 
====The Asset Collection====
While resting on his cruiser later, Howler receives the visit of [[Jodio]], [[Dragona]], and [[Charming Man]], who are impersonating [[Yokohama]] and other Dolphin Bank employees.<ref name="TJL22">{{Ch|TJL Chapter 22}}</ref> Acca brings the group to a room in the lower decks of his yacht to negotiate with them. At first, he tries to bribe the trio with $40,000,000 in cash, but the group persists. Charming Man puts Acca under pressure and argues that Acca is in way more trouble than he lets on because the impending government investigation will completely freeze his source of income on the northern slope of Mt. Hualalai. He presents a plan to exchange a land on O'ahu owned by the bank with the HOWLER Company's own land, pretending that it could protect his assets. However, their conversation is interrupted when everyone sees small pieces of rock scattered over the table, and Acca recognizes that it is from the [[Lava Rock]]. Suspicious, he orders Dragona at gunpoint to stand up.<ref>{{Ch|TJL Chapter 23}}</ref>
 
However, Acca does not truly know who has the Lava Rock and he begins to suspect everyone on the boat, including his own men.
