Synopsis

The chapter focuses on Cha Heera, a powerful guild master, making a forceful recruitment attempt for Kiyoung and Hayan specifically, offering them a very lucrative deal. Kiyoung initially seems to consider it but ultimately turns her down due to his loyalty to his entire party. This refusal leads to a threatening show of power by Heera aimed at Jung Hayan, before she leaves, promising future encounters and leaving behind a gift of sorts. Despite the tension, other guild members also try to recruit Kiyoung.
