Spy x Family chapter 82 opened with the WISE agents waiting at the Shellbery Hotel for the real Winston Wheeler's arrival. Meanwhile, Twilight, disguised as Wheeler, met the SSS agents at a new location.

When the two parties met, the SSS agent asked Wheeler (Twilight) to hand over the documents. That's when Twilight asked the SSS agent to verify his identity. Upon hearing this, the agent responded to Twilight with the same question, asking him to verify his identity as Wheeler to him.

Twilight tried to verify his identity using his green tie and yellow gemstone tiepin, the signal the SSS had sent to Wheeler, as per WISE mole. Immediately upon hearing it, the SSS understood that Twilight was disguised as Wheeler.

Fearing that there was a mole within the SSS, the organization had come up with a strategy to flush out the mole. They successfully identified Jeffrey from the Communications division to be the mole.

Following that, a battle ensued between Twilight and the SSS agents. The former triggered a few of his traps to stop the SSS agents. However, with the number of agents on the location, he needed another way to escape. Thus, he disguised himself as Yuri Briar and led the SSS agents on a different path in search of him.

At the same time, Yuri Briar was with his Lieutenant. Upon hearing gunshots, he wandered inside the location, which is when he found his own footprints. Knowing that he hadn't ever come to the location, he realized that Twilight had disguised him.

So, Yuri decided to go after Twilight, believing that he must be inside the sewers. He knew that Twilight was very professional and would not leave his footprints for people to follow. This meant that he was panicking and was trying to get back to the city.

Thus, Yuri entered the sewers while the SSS Lieutenant called for backup. As Yuri entered the sewers, he decided to move fast to try and catch Twilight while he was still reachable. Just as he was about to take a turn, Twilight tried to attack him, flinging his cap off his head.

It was Twilight disguised as Yuri Briar, who had cornered Yuri. Twilight instinctively did not want to hurt Yuri upon encountering him. Nevertheless, both of them pointed their guns at each other, followed by a gunshot sound. It was then hinted that one of the two men in the sewers had started bleeding heavily.

With Spy x Family chapter 82 ending on a cliffhanger, fans will have to wait until the next chapter is released to find out who got injured. However, after examining the final panel of the chapter and considering that there was only one gunshot sound, it can be predicted that either Twilight or Yuri must have shot the other's hand to incapacitate them. Nevertheless, that is just an assumption.
