Recap for Episode 7

In the recent episode, we see how Joo-Heon attacked Chairman Quan. But it turns out this new villain cannot die because of an immortality relic, and it is based on Achilles. Still, the male lead does manage to critically injure Quan, but to be able to achieve this, he ends up damaging his relics too. So he goes to look for someone who can restore them, and that is when Joo-Heon finds Yanagi.
He is a relic user who can make copies of other relics. After finding out the tragic past of this new relic user, Joo-Heon manipulates him to work for him. When Yanagi is attacked because of Quan, the main lead makes his arrival and tries to rescue him. Once again, he managed to prove that his knowledge of the future gives him a massive advantage.
What to expect from Tomb Raider King Episode 8? (Speculative)

After the ending of the recent installment, fans could expect the following from Tomb Raider King Episode 8:
- Joo-Heon may recruit Yanagi: The biggest development heading into Tomb Raider King Episode 8 is Joo-Heon's attempt to turn Yanagi into an ally. Joo-Heon understands that simply forcing Yanagi to work for him will not be enough. Instead, he wants to give Yanagi a reason to trust him.
- The Richard mystery could become important: Joo-Heon's manipulation of Yanagi is centered around Richard, the artist who allegedly stole Yanagi's techniques and ruined his career. Since Yanagi believes Richard may have used a relic to copy his abilities, Tomb Raider King Episode 8 could explore this mystery further.
- Quan could remain a major threat: Although Joo-Heon nearly defeated Quan, the Chairman's immortality relic makes him extremely difficult to eliminate. Fans have already questioned why Joo-Heon does not simply use his other relics to finish him off. Tomb Raider King Episode 8 could reveal more about what Joo-Heon intends to do with Quan and TKBM.
In conclusion, the next episode could push the story into an even more unpredictable phase. For viewers enjoying Joo-Heon's morally gray approach to revenge, Tomb Raider King Episode 8 should be another episode worth watching.
