Synopsis

The chapter opens with a hunter potentially a successor in the Automation Castle. It is revealed that there was an assassination attempt, thwarted by Sairan Muel from the Black Scale Tribe. The Automation Castle is now locked down because one of the heirs, Hwee Dan, is missing and blood traces have been discovered, hinting at a possible murder. This leads to suspicion among the families of the castle, with Gyo Joong, a leader of one of the families, implying there are others who engage in underhanded tactics like assassination attempts.
