Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the confrontation between Kiyoung and Song Jeongwook, where Song displays arrogance and disdain towards Kiyoung's business proposition, citing his guild's success. However, Kiyoung, bolstered by his allies, including a very attached Marlin, turns the tables by revealing his reputation and influence as a powerful alchemist and forces Song to sign a business agreement. Throughout this, characters' motivations and relationships become clearer, particularly with the introduction of the revenge plot of Cho Hyejin. The chapter ends with the signing of the business contract.
