## Chapter
- number: 72
- release_date: 2025-03-10

### Summary
The external conflict surrounding Secondo Piatto escalates into a direct and violent confrontation. Building on the previous chapter's setup of an official police operation, this installment subverts expectations as Hyunwook takes matters into his own hands. He makes a dramatic, action-hero-style entrance at the demolition site, crashing through glass to confront the villains. The restaurant's hidden "treasure" is confirmed to be a cache of illegal drugs, revealing the true nature of the hostile takeover. However, the anticipated police support, including Detective Cho, fails to materialize, leaving Hyunwook to face the criminals alone and shockingly unprepared, without a bulletproof vest or any apparent backup. This reckless heroism, while perceived by some as "badass," is heavily criticized for its implausibility. The chapter climaxes with a dire consequence for his lack of planning: Hyunwook is severely injured by the operation's leader, leaving the resolution of the conflict on a life-threatening cliffhanger and shifting the narrative from a calculated sting operation to a desperate, high-stakes rescue.
