### Summary
The narrative continues to sideline protagonist Gray Yeon, focusing instead on the brutal internal conflicts within the antagonist Yeongdeungpo Union. The current storyline centers on a savage fight involving the notoriously unstable Wolf Keum, which readers have described as a "battle of masochists" featuring extreme violence like eye-gouging. This has led to speculation about Wolf's backstory and mental state, with some theorizing a past injury may have affected his ability to feel pain. Despite his cruelty, Wolf has garnered conflicted fan support, with readers acknowledging his instability while also noting a surprising moment of restraint when he ceased his attack after his opponent yielded. This prolonged focus on the antagonists is fueling palpable impatience within the readership, with many expressing their desire for the story to return to Gray and his friends. The narrative shift is so significant that some readers question if the focus has pivoted to the main antagonist, Donald Na. Adding to the discussion, readers have also pointed out confusion over a seemingly misplaced content warning for sexual assault in the chapter.
