The gathered crowd immediately surged forward. Even Yosef, perched on a tree branch, straightened up

nervously, his eyes narrowing as he scrutinized Gwain

It was obvious-Gwain had changed. His entire presence had shifted, and his aura had becicy cold.

“Mr. Gwain, did you succeed in your training?” Wyatt asked before anyone else.

“Hmph!”

Gwain didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he smirked arrogantly, letting out a cold snort, his posture exuding an

exaggerated sense of dominance.

Then, without warning, he struck out with a single palm, shattering a massive tree in the courtyard from a

distance.

“You son of a-“Yosef cursed under his breath.

Did you really have to destroy the tree I was standing on just to show off?

Forced to react, he leaped onto another tree to avoid falling.

“Holy cow!”

The Lannister retainers and cadet branch disciples erupted into cheers.

“Mr. Gwain’s power has reached an entirely new level!”

“That's right! Breaking a tree from a distance... his internal strength has grown unbelievably strong!”

“Did you see that? Mr. Gwain has mastered the Dragon Tome! He's now truly invincible in the martial world!”

“From now on, there's no more ‘Southern Lannister’ or Northern Wolf Warrior-the Lannister family. alone will

dominate the martial world!”

Sof them were deliberately flattering Gwain, hoping to curry favor. Others, lacking experience and

understanding of martial arts, genuinely believed what they were saying and hyped him up even more.

In an instant, Gwain was elevated to legendary status.

Wyatt, still visibly excited, exclaimed, “Mr. Gwain, it looks like you've managed to unleash the full power of the

Dragon Tome!”

But deep down, Wyatt knew the truth-martial techniques only reached their true potential when internal

strength and combat skills were seamlessly integrated. Unleashing raw internal strength might overwhelm

ordinary opponents, but in real combat, it had limited effectiveness.

So, while Gwain’s abilities had certainly improved, Wyatt doubted it was a groundbreaking

Nearby, Clive and other experts shared the sthought-Gwain’s internal strength now clashed with the

Lannister family’s traditional martial techniques. Forcing this hybrid style would likely result in an unstable

foundation, limiting his true growth.

Of course, this was only their speculation. The real test would cwhen Gwain faced a true master.

But Gwain himself was in high spirits, his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of absolute confidence.

Narrowing his eyes, he declared, “Of course, I've mastered it! Emmanuel’s techniques were never superior to

mine. He only overpoweredbecause his internal strength was slightly stronger. But if he dares to rely on

brute force now, he’s signing his own death warrant!”

As he spoke, his excitement surged, and he lashed out with another palm strike.

Unfortunately for Yosef, he had just landed on another tree when the impact sent him flying again.

“You son of a-"

This time, Yosef didn’t bother sticking around. He immediately leaped away, leaving the estate altogether.

Though his abilities were not on par with Gwain’s, as an outsider, he saw the situation more clearly.

Forcing the Harper family’s techniques into the Dragon Tome’s framework? That didn’t seem like a viable

approach. At least, Yosef was certain this wouldn't be enough to suppress Emmanuel.

After all, he knew better than anyone-Emmanuel was a true martial genius. And a genius like him would never

stagnate.

As soon as Yosef left, Gautier arrived at the Lannister Estate.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he was greeted by a crowd fawning over Gwain, sounding just like

the sycophantic followers of Zovince’s Branch Davidians.

Still, leaning on his cane and flanked by two elite guards left behind by Teddy, Gautier stepped forward with a

respectful smile. “Congratulations on emerging from seclusion, Mr. Gwain!”

“Hmph, what are you doing here?”

Gwain’s arrogance had only multiplied tenfold.

And why wouldn't it? His confidence stemmed from his martial prowess, and now that his skills had advanced

while an entire crowd was singing his praises, it was nearly impossible for him not to be conceited.

Besides, he had long known that Gautier had deliberately used half of the Dragon Tto bait him into fighting

Emmanuel. And because of that, he had suffered repeated humiliations at Emmanuel’s hands.

But now, with his training complete, he no longer needed anything from Gautier-so naturally, his attitude toward

him had turned dismissive.

“Theard you were coming out of seclusion today, so I cto offer my congratulations,” Gautier said, bowing

despite his limp. “And to discuss a potential collaboration.”

“Collaboration? What collaboration?” Gwain asked, feigning ignorance.

“To kill Emmanuel, of course! To avenge Mr. Tanner, Hank Sheridan, and everyone else he has murdered!”

Gautier declared, gritting his teeth.

“What?! He killed Teddy Tanner too?”

“That b*stard really has no fear!”

“Does he think he’s invincible, that he can do whatever he pleases?”

The Lannister retainers broke into murmurs of shock and outrage.

“You really are in a miserable state, Mr. Verkade,” Wyatt scoffed, then silently added to himself, Like a stray

mutt...

Only Gwain let out a cold laugh. “Hmph, why would I join forces when I can kill Emmanuel myself just fine?”

“Um...” The two guards behind Gautier looked visibly stunned.

Even Gautier himself hadn't expected Gwain to becthat arrogant after emerging from seclusion. Have you

already forgotten how Emmanuel humiliated you before?

Before he could respond, a new voice rang out across the courtyard-melodic, yet laced with amusement.

“That's right. All of Chanaea knows that the Southern Lannister and the Northern Wolf Warrior are equals. If you

need help dealing with Emmanuel, then even if you kill him, it wouldn't be a glorious victory.”

Everyone turned to look.

Chiara had arrived, accompanied by members of the Zelinsky family.

“Chiara!”

Gwain, who had shown Gautier nothing but disdain, actually gave his cousin srespect. Chiara was one of the

Four Beauties of Zovince, after all. His tone softened as he asked, “What brings you back to the Lannister

Estate?”

“I cto check on you after your seclusion,” Chiara replied with a knowing smile. “Now that I see you've been

reborn, I can rest easy. It's clear that taking on Emmanuel alone, avenging your brother-in-law, and honoring the

fallen retainers of the Lannister family will be no problem for you.”

“Hmph, naturally!” Gwain’s pride swelled even further.

“Good. In three days, the battle at Divine Mountain will take place. I look forward to seeing you first defeat Yorick

Dotson and restore the honor of Chanaea’s martial world. Then, you'll kill Emmanuel Lowe and finally avenge our

fallen loved ones.” Chiara’s gaze turned ice-cold as she spoke.

Though her proposed order of events didn’t align with Gwain’s priorities, with so many eyes on him, he had no

choice but to nod in agreement.

Of course, Chiara’s true purpose in coming was to recruit Gwain to join the Zelinsky family’s plan to eliminate

Emmanuel together. But now that she saw how inflated Gwain’s ego had become, she had to phrase things

differently.

After all, if Gwain still couldn't defeat Emmanuel when the tcame, he would have to cooperate with the

others.

“Well then, I'll take my leave for now,” Chiara said smoothly, turning toward Gautier. “Mr. Verkade, is it true that

Emmanuel also killed Mr. Tanner? Coincidentally, the patriarch of the Zelinsky family wishes to discuss this

matter as well. Why don’t you cto the elinsky Residence? Let's see what we can do to assist you.”

“Thank you, Ms. Lannister. In that case, I'd be honored to join you.”

Despite his injured leg, Gautier still straightened his posture and tried to maintain his gentlemanly charm in front

of the beautiful widow.
