### Summary
The conflict initiated by the pompous, blue-robed noble escalates violently. Fueled by a grudge from over fifteen years ago for which he has already claimed vengeance, the man attacks an old cook, a young girl who stands up for her father, and a young boy who defends the girl. Despite his brutal actions, he denies being a villain, even as he prepares to sever the boy's arm. Jin Mu-Won, who had been observing, intervenes to protect the child, referring to himself as the boy's "big brother." In a stunning display of martial prowess, Jin catches and shatters the antagonist's blade with his bare hands. This incredible feat, however, does not deter the man's companions, who prepare to attack Jin in response. A "strong lady" from another small group is also present, seemingly cautious about confronting a member of a powerful sect, but the chapter ends with Jin poised to defend the innocent against his new foes.
