Why Did Kenta Want Talisman?
Kenta belonged to Arshikage Clan and he wanted to become its next leader. However, his brother Tommy stood in his path. In the past, he tried to have Tommy killed but he failed and hence he had to leave the clan.
Kenta wanted to give this talisman to Cobra who would utilize its power to rule the world. Well at least that’s what the deal was but Kenta was looking to betray them from the start. He simply used their aid in running his operation and when he got his hands on Talisman, he betrayed them.

With revenge in his mind, Snake approached Augustin however, he decided not to kill since the assassin just relayed the order. Now his ultimate goal was to get rid of Cobra.
