### Summary
The narrative pivots back to Kim Shin's brutal retribution, as he makes a dramatic entrance into a lounge populated by other dominant alphas. He is seen dragging a severely beaten antagonist, who looks like a "zombie," and carrying a crutch that many readers initially mistook for a shotgun, enhancing his intimidating presence. The chapter's primary conflict centers on a red-headed antagonist who, after being complicit in Yeon-woo's kidnapping, wrongly assumes the other alphas will intervene to stop Shin's violence. His plan fails completely, as the assembled alphas are depicted as an indifferent and amoral group, content to watch the spectacle. Readers overwhelmingly found the redhead's miscalculation and subsequent fear to be "satisfying." A comparison to the novel clarifies that Shin, as a rare "awakened alpha," holds legal privileges that place him above dominant alphas, explaining their non-interference and contextualizing his public display of power. The chapter focuses entirely on this act of merciless vengeance, solidifying Shin's unhinged protector persona as he now turns his cold fury toward the terrified redhead.
