The Rage is the seventh Elusive Target Mission in HITMAN™ III, and the fortieth overall, and tasks you with eliminating Sully Bowden.
The Rage[]
Diana Burnwood (VO): "Good evening 47, Your Target is Sully "The Crusher" Bowden, a former middle-weight champion.
Known for his short temper and sudden bouts of rage, he has always been a ticking time bomb. Unpredictable and unruly in the ring, he finally crossed the line when he killed an opponent during a match. He showed no sign [of] remorse and was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter. However, he managed to flee the country and has since been on the run, making a living setting up illegal "fight matches" that are closer to "death matches". Bowden has a lot of blood on his hands. The grieving family of the victim have reached out to us for "closure". And after an extensive search, we have tracked him down in Chongqing. They want to have done to him, what was done to their son: An eye for an eye, 47.
Good Luck."
