### Summary
Following a difficult confrontation that has worsened his mental decline, Jin Mu-Won's well-being remains a primary concern, with his allies believing he is in desperate need of care. The focus shifts to a new dynamic with the introduction of a character who serves as a supportive "older brother figure" to Mu-Won. It is revealed that this individual has long been aware of the world's deep-seated corruption but felt powerless to act against his own family, particularly his father. This character's internal conflict and supportive nature stand in stark contrast to other figures in Mu-Won's life. A major revelation suggests this individual has been sealing his true abilities, which are connected to a unique family lineage. Having witnessed weaker individuals fight to reform the system, he is now resolved to take action, setting him on a path to confront his own father and dismantle the corrupt order he represents.
