Synopsis

The chapter opens with the Federal Bureau proposing a deal to Sung Jinwoo, offering top priority status and access to the best guild contracts. Ms. Selner is introduced, boasting about her ability to enhance awakened beings' powers through a three-stage process, which could increase their strength by a significant margin. While the Bureau tries to persuade Sung Jinwoo, Ms. Selner is shown to be visibly shaken by him, suggesting she perceives something unusual and powerful, causing her to cancel the meeting, revealing the immense power he possesses that goes beyond a normal awakened being and possibly hinting at a hidden, darker power within him.
