### Summary
Following Hyeongwon's unhinged kidnapping of Yiseon, Hyeon delivers the brutal retribution readers demanded. The chapter depicts a deeply satisfying beatdown where Hyeon repeatedly heals Hyeongwon only to inflict more violence, an act celebrated by the audience. In the aftermath, Hyeon faces an official investigation by the Hunter's Association, which is considering suspending him. This development is met with widespread derision and sarcasm from readers, who find the idea of sidelining the only hunter capable of preventing Seoul's destruction from dungeons to be laughably incompetent. Many suspect this is a political maneuver orchestrated by Hyeon’s antagonistic brother. The core of the chapter, however, is the crystallization of Hyeon's devotion. He shows complete, unbothered indifference to the official inquiry and the surrounding destruction, his entire focus singularly fixed on a minor scratch on Yiseon’s cheek. This is overwhelmingly interpreted as the definitive proof of his love and the full realization of his protective "yandere" nature, solidifying his role as a man who prioritizes Yiseon above the fate of the world itself.
