### Summary
The central conflict continues with Oon Hak in danger after witnessing a murder committed by Ga Hyun, an antagonist whose manipulative, psychopathic portrayal draws repeated comparisons to Sangwoo from \*Killing Stalking\*. The narrative introduces a new, unnamed character who becomes the primary focus of reader discussion due to his distinct and divisive accent. While some readers find the accent "cute" and "to die for," others find it confusing and difficult to understand, with speculation arising about its origin. This new character appears to offer Oon Hak a "line of work," leading to audience theories about whether it involves illicit activities like "killing or cleanup." The interaction between them is emotionally charged, with one reader observing that the man "sees himself in the bugger's eyes," suggesting a deeper connection. A moment of physical contact involving only thumbs briefly creates tension, playing on the fanbase's expectation of a BL narrative and highlighting the story's blend of thriller elements with character-focused drama.
