### Summary
The latest chapter reveals Hyeon's shocking and manipulative plan, which centers on forcing Yiseon to reuse the restoration ability that is the source of his deep-seated trauma. This demand is not for a noble cause but is a key part of Hyeon's ruthless scheme to seize control of his family's guild from his brother, a plot that readers understand involves killing his own father. The community reaction is one of overwhelming horror and disgust, cementing Hyeon's persona as a smiling, calculating psychopath who callously disregards Yiseon's well-being for his own gain. Readers widely condemn him as an irredeemable "red flag," expressing immense sympathy for Yiseon and frustration at how Hyeon is intentionally worsening his trauma. While this cements the manga's dark, psychological tone for most, a vocal minority finds the unhinged antagonist compelling or attempts to rationalize his actions as a "business-like transaction," arguing that other characters in the story may be just as corrupt. Despite the reveal of his motives, some confusion about the specific mechanics of his plan remains, but the consensus is that Hyeon is a terrifying and deeply disturbed character.
