### Summary
Following his merciless execution of the assassin Tae-Shik Kang, Sung Jinwoo's evolution into a colder, more ruthless figure continues. This emotional detachment is highlighted in a poignant encounter with his former party member, the traumatized healer Lee Joo-Hee. Her attempt to reconnect over a meal is met with Jinwoo's internal indifference, reflecting how far he has moved past his former life. Readers acknowledge her past loyalty but largely dismiss her as a viable love interest, anticipating her eventual retirement from hunting due to her severe trauma. Jinwoo's hardening morality is put on full display when he deals with a captured criminal, a rapist, not with a quick kill, but by sadistically feeding him to a horde of goblins. This brutal act of vengeance is celebrated by readers as a satisfying moment of dark justice. The incident does not go unnoticed, as Chief Inspector Woo Jin-Chul of the Hunter's Association arrives to question Jinwoo about the consistent pattern of death in his raids. While suspicious, Woo Jin-Chul also delivers a critical warning: Hwang Dong-Soo, the powerful S-Rank brother of a hunter Jinwoo previously killed, is seeking revenge. This sets the stage for a future high-stakes conflict, cementing that as Jinwoo's power grows, so do the dangers that surround him and the humanity he leaves behind.
