Synopsis

The chapter reveals that the ongoing conflict between factions is orchestrated by Yoo Sacheong, a gambler who profits from such disputes. A masked figure, seemingly more powerful than anyone else, proposes a deathmatch between the key figures of the conflict to force them to focus on their true enemy, Yoo Sacheong, and further reveal their fighting styles. This person proposes to withdraw forces if either the main character or Professor Su dies in the one-on-one fight, aiming to end the conflict and force the consequences upon whoever eliminates Yoo Sacheong.
