Synopsis

The chapter opens with the Young Leader returning from training, causing unrest and rumors, particularly involving Lady Ji Hami from the Pleasure Palace. This leads to the Pleasure Palace Master, a powerful woman named Han SS, appearing to confront those gossiping about her. A tense standoff occurs where the Pleasure Palace Master indirectly threatens the Young Leader after he expresses his distain for her assassins, but ultimately agrees to a bet with the Young Leader that seems to involve the fate of others. She also reveals the true reason why palace masters do not harm cult members – they do it out of pride.
