Recap:

In the gilded halls of power, where bullies reign and fists are currency, Hoseong sits atop the pyramid, arrogance his crown. Climbing that ladder is no mean feat, requiring a tapestry of skills woven into each fist. In the same elevated echelon rests Eunseong, and whispers about Hoseong’s upcoming clash with Dowan fill the air. Eunseong, ever the strategist, acknowledges Hoseong’s raw power, a titan against Dowan’s lesser might. Yet, he adds a cryptic wrinkle – battle isn’t a mere dance of brute force. Confusion ripples, leaving everyone to grapple with the elusive X factor.

Meanwhile, the air crackles with the thrum of violence. Dowan, a viper seeking its mark, pins Hoseong against the cold stone, claws poised to constrict. But the serpent bites its own tail, for with a swift kick to the gut, Hoseong breaks free. Dowan, flung back by the sheer force, watches as his nemesis rises. A searing pain lances through Hoseong’s leg, a mystery mark blooming on his flesh. His mind scrambles, seeking the unseen assailant while Dowan, seizing the moment, strikes from the shadows. Even wounded and bewildered, Hoseong, a seasoned warrior, refuses to yield. A punishing kick to Dowan’s head echoes through the chamber, a defiant roar against the tide of pain.

Dowan retaliates, his fist finding its home on Hoseong’s jaw. The force of their combined fury sends them reeling back, a brutal waltz played out in blood and bone. Hoseong, wiping crimson from his cheek, decides to bare the bones of truth.

He spins a tale of the Bully Council’s insidious favoritism, showering Dowan with an undeserved bounty. Dowan scoffs, disbelief painting his face. Patience thinning, Hoseong unveils the twisted tapestry – the Council, purging its ranks like weeds, uses Dowan as their instrument, elevating him to a puppet king. But the Council isn’t the only puppeteer – the enigmatic Association joins the macabre dance, orchestrating Dowan’s meteoric rise.

Evidence, sharp and irrefutable, pierces Dowan’s disbelief. His fight with Steven Zhuge, a meticulously arranged spectacle – proof etched in every blow. Hoseong, consumed by a hunger for answers, unearths the ultimate secret – Dowan’s lineage. The son of Ha Jinoh, the very man who built the Sunshine Shelter, the cradle of the Bully Council.

Revelation slams into Dowan like a freight train, leaving him reeling. Seizing the moment, Hoseong casts aside his cloak of pretense. His punches rain down, fueled by a childhood scarred by Ha Jinoh’s shadow. He declares his ambition, his unyielding drive to claim the pinnacle, and his willingness to exploit even Dowan for a lucrative deal.

A flashback flickers, painting a scene of childhood torment, Dowan’s father the puppeteer of Hoseong’s suffering. The animosity, raw and simmering, justifies his savagery. But just as Hoseong turns to leave, vengeance writes its own chapter.

With a crackle of raw energy, Dowan unleashes a charged shot, propelling them both crashing through the window. The fight isn’t over, not by a long shot. Dowan, eyes blazing with a newfound defiance, vows to send Hoseong plummeting from his gilded cage. The battle for supremacy, fueled by secrets and rage, escalates, leaving the world to breathlessly await the final blow.
