Inside the magnolia garden, things weren’t going well for Yorick. He quickly 

found himself cornered. 

For his second move, Gwain unleashed Ethereal Slash. His sword glowed with 

a golden light, creating breathtaking arcs in the air. 

Wyatt and Hank couldn’t help but admire Gwain. It was impressive that he 

had reached a level beyond that of a grandmaster before even turning thirty 

-his talent was remarkable. 

However, Yorick shockingly struck Gwain’s wrist just as he swung the sword. 

Gwain let out a scream of pain as his sword slipped from his grip, spinning 

back and entrenching itself into a nearby tree. 

“How is this even possible?” Wyatt and Hank stared in disbelief. They thought, 

He just took down a spotless move with ease, and this is only the second 

round! 

In an instant, Yorick grabbed Gwain by the throat with one hand.

“Please! Don’t hurt Mr. Gwain!” Wyatt and Hank shouted as they hurried 

forward, but one glare from Yorick was enough to send them back down. 

They knew they were no match for Gwain, let alone this guy. 

“Hmph! A real man can face death but not humiliation. Just finish me!” Before 

Yorick could respond, Gwain shouted through clenched teeth, despair shining 

in his eyes. 

Growing up in the Lannister family, he’d been given the best martial arts 

training since childhood. Thanks to his exceptional talent, he always outshone 

the other Lannisters. 

At fifteen, he was celebrated as Zovince’s top martial arts prodigy. By 

twenty–five, he was recognized as one of the best fighters in the country, 

alongside the renowned Northern Region War God. 

With all that acclaim and success, he had never faced failure. Yet now, 

tasked with finding the Dragon Tome, he had faced one setback after 

another, forcing him to confront his own vulnerabilities and shattering his 

self–esteem.

Yorick replied flatly, “I already said I won’t kill you. I just needed to see where I 

stand after twenty years. Honestly, you let me down. Your moves are flashy 

with no substance–you’re just a display piece for Chanaea.” 

With that, he tossed Gwain aside and rode off on his tiger. 

Yorick had expected the greatest fighters in Chanaea to be formidable 

opponents, at least at the demi–saint level. Instead, he found Gwain just a 

peak grandmaster, barely scraping the S–Level–not even close to the 

Double S–Level. 

Wyatt and Hank hurried to his side. “Mr. Gwain!” 

“Don’t come near me!” Gwain shouted. His pride was crushed, and he wasn’t 

ready to talk. 

Hank wanted to say something, but Wyatt stopped him. 

Once Gwain had walked off alone, Wyatt finally spoke up, “Mr. Gwain has hit a 

rough patch in his life and probably needs some time alone. Let’s not bother

him right now.” 

“But-” Hank started, but eventually sighed and nodded in agreement.

Gwain drifted through the Magnolia Theater angrily and frustrated, causing a 

stir among everyone he passed. 

Then, a stunning lady appeared before him and greeted, “Mr. Gwain!” 

He jolted and turned to see who it was. It was the lady from the Fletcher 

family gathering, still veiled but with eyes that sparkled like stars. It was Yund 

Tanner, one of Zovince’s Four Beauties. 

“Mr. Gwain, what brings you here? Are you here for Aunt Isabella’s opera?” 

Yuna asked, her eyes brimming with excitement and admiration. 

Rumors had long circulated in Zovince that they were the ultimate dream 

couple–one of the Zovince’s Four Geniuses and one of the Four Beauties. 

“I… Yeah!” Gwain stammered, feeling embarrassed under her gaze. He didn’t 

know how to define their relationship, but he wanted to hide after she caught 

him in such a sorry state. 

Just then, Yuna took his hand and asked with concern, “Mr. Gwain, have you 

run into trouble? Talk to me; maybe I can help.”
