Synopsis

The chapter centers around an auction for the possessions of the Sword King. A representative from the Neo Self-Defense Force (Japan) makes a seemingly impromptu private meeting offer that is immediately rejected by Yoon-san. They then quickly win the auction at a fixed amount, revealing a letter from the Sword King was the reason for the bid. This unusual sequence of events sparks concerns about pre-arrangement, and the background of the Neo Self-Defense Force representative, previously banned from the U.S., is called into question, suggesting a hidden agenda.
