### Summary
The narrative continues to build towards the ultimate strategic showdown between protagonist Gray Yeon and the formidable antagonist Donald Na, leader of the Yeongdeungpo Union. While the recent focus on the Union's internal affairs previously tested audience patience, the current developments have sparked an unexpected shift in reader sentiment. Instead of boredom, there is a growing fascination and even affection for the antagonists, with readers admitting they are "forgetting" to hate the Union. This is particularly true for Donald Na, whose backstory elicits sympathy and respect, reminding the audience that the "pale looking" and "brainy" leader is also a powerful fighter. This humanization extends to other members like Jimmy Bae, fostering a surprising connection with the opposing faction. However, this newfound appreciation for the antagonists is coupled with a strong sense of longing for the protagonist, as fans explicitly state they miss Gray. This complex reaction deepens the narrative, blurring the lines between hero and villain as the story explores the humanity of its antagonists just before the final, inevitable confrontation.
