Simultaneously, Minhyeok was looking at a board with Hwan's circle of friends and associates with many had been killed. Distraught, he realizes that he may had killed Yerin's father. Couple of years ago when Yerin left her father, Hwan remembered that he had bonded with Yerin's father.

At a private Dowon place, Minhyeok and Siho meets with the first chairman, Dowon Cho, whom sides with him but asked him why did he killed his mother. He replied with a laugh and says that his group is only a tool for him. Dowon realizes that his drive is vengeance and ask whom is it directed to. Back with Hwan, he became well adjusted in his training and the two fights up until morning as the hunter believes he is ready. However, Hwan accidentally activates his silent annihlation and almost kills him but Gwangcheon arrives, deactivating his power and faints. Back with Minhyeok, Siho reports of their near success, Hwan's whereabouts and Siwoo's investigation on him. Simultaneously, Siwoo was investigating the area when she was kidnapped by gangsters but Huijae saves her. He then asks her why does she risk her life and responded that she hates people like Minhyeok whiles a direct reference from her past when her sister Miwoo Ha, is assassinated in front of her. Minhyeok was reported of Siwoo's escape but ignores it and arrives to meet higher ups of soceity and gives them the lobby list of the Dowon Groups meeting in return if they ignore his criminal activities and they eventually agrees to do so.
Back in the forest, Gwangcheon shows Hwan his secret stash of weapons and teaches him how to use them and trains physically as well over the couple of days. In the meanwhile, Siwoo and Huijae investigaes Mina's death and later meets with Hwan.

However, they met Minhyeok and Siho attempts to check her luggage but he let Siwoo slide and leaves. Siho asks why he lets her and replied that he enjoys the fight between Hwan and him. Hwan and Siwoo arrives in their room and she gives him sleeping pills to activate the save point. As he sleeps he has a nightmare of the people that died and wakes up. They then head back to Huijae and is about to kill Hwan with his smuggled weapons on him as he can teleport things on him. However Siwoo gets the message that Minhyeok decides to change the election day tomorrow instead of two days later. Luckily, Hwan stops him as he predicts it as well. Huijae then cancels the plan and infiltrates inisde as he has an invitation and ends his alliance with Hwan. Then Minhyeok calls him as he threatens to kill Yerin but Hwan, unfazed, has an ace in his sleeve which is the Hanlim gym. Elsewhere, Siho was uncomfortable about Minhyeok being cold to her as she arrives to her grandfather's house to find her brother.
