Synopsis

Hyuk, previously seen as weak and bedridden, surprises everyone by wiping out the Black Faction sects and rescuing trafficked women. This earns him widespread acclaim and raises his family's status. However, he forms a new group called the Frontline Assembly with strict and deadly rules and exhibits increasingly erratic and violent behavior, leaving those around him confused and concerned. The chapter ends with him interrogating and threatening a subordinate for what was perceived as disrespectful language toward the Namgoong family.
