### Summary
The narrative continues in the mountainous region of Novi Scotia, where Noa's high-stakes negotiation to purchase a mine remains a central plot point, a strategic move to thwart the antagonist Adrian. While the chapter provides moments of levity and cuteness that align with the series' heartwarming tone, such as Myu appearing in a hardhat and his dragon form, these are completely overshadowed by the chapter's conclusion. The story takes an abrupt and shocking turn into the horror genre with a final panel that has been universally described by readers as a terrifying "jumpscare." This sudden tonal shift has left the audience startled and horrified, with many comparing the art style to that of a horror manga and expressing disbelief that a romance-focused story would feature such a frightening image. The intense reaction has dominated all discussion, eclipsing other plot developments and the ongoing mystery of Kyle's disappearance, which fans speculate is connected to the mine. The cliffhanger has effectively transformed the manhwa's atmosphere from a tense mystery into outright horror, leaving readers in a state of shock.
