Mr. Liu threatens Titan
Invincible season 3 episode 5 begins with Mr. Liu threatening Titan to break Multi-Paul out or else his daughter will die.

Out of option, Titan seeks out Invincible for help but Mark disagrees to help him given what had happened last time.
This eventually leads to Mr. Liu confronting Titan and threatening him. As Titan still decides not to go forward with breaking out Paul, Liu transforms into a dragon by letting its soul out and seemingly kills the mob boss. He then tries breaking out Paul from prison but Mark and Eve arrive in time and are able to contain the mayhem. However, Machinehead ends up escaping when the destruction begins
While Mark tries to kill the dragon, he finds out that Liu is immortal. This leads to Machinehead going back to Titan's penthouse and shooting Liu in the head and Titan is revealed to be alive working with his former boss.

Following the death of Mr. Liu, Machinehead takes over The Order and starts running his business.

Before the incident with Mr. Liu, Mark discovers that Oliver has sneaked out of the house and goes to track him, but quickly finds out that he has made friends and is only skateboarding with them.
Oliver even shows maturity by pranking some bullies which leaves Mark proud and he explains to Debbie that he deserves a normal childhood.
