### Summary
The violent family conflict has culminated in a shocking and decisive power shift. Rather than abandoning his criminal life for his relationship with Oon Hak, Ga Hyun (Dean) has fully embraced his ruthless nature in response to the attack on his loyal companion, Craig. In a dramatic escalation, Dean has personally killed the paternal antagonist, Mr. Choi, an act celebrated by readers as a justified and "poetic" resolution. This event marks a significant character transformation, as Dean sheds his vulnerability and assumes a commanding, "badass" new role as the organization's "president." While the primary threat has been eliminated, the conflict is not entirely resolved, with lingering concerns about internal traitors. The narrative has pivoted sharply away from the shattered romance, now focusing on Dean's consolidation of power and the anticipated retribution for those who harmed Craig.
