Many readers express confusion about the plot's progression, leading to frequent re-reading, yet they remain intrigued by the building tension. The central heist mission, which was widely suspected to be a trap, appears to come to a head. The chapter concludes on an intense cliffhanger that shocks the audience, strongly suggesting the anticipated betrayal has occurred. Readers speculate that Youngjin has been "busted" or "caught," with the sudden arrival of a powerful figure identified as "the president" marking the story's first major confrontation and setting the stage for his capture by Seo Seunghyun.
