Gulp, gulp… Santiago took a few big gulps of wine, then suddenly flipped in

the air and kicked Gwain’s wrist.

Gwain’s hand went numb, and his sword flew out of his grasp. Desperate, he

lunged to catch it, but Santiago was quicker–grabbing his foot instead.

“How is this possible?!” Gwain’s expression changed. He couldn’t grasp

Santiago’s erratic moves, completely throwing off his rhythm in the battle.

“Relax, have some wine!” Santiago pulled hard, his raw internal strength

yanking Gwain down like a machine dragging him.

Gwain wasn’t weak by any means. He tried using his Noble Sword to steady

himself, but Santiago’s internal strength was on another level. He even

managed to put more pressure on it, bending the sword dangerously close

to snapping.

Later, Gwain slammed his palm into the ground to twist his body into a

counterattack, executing a flashy and deadly Thunderfang Strike aimed at

freeing himself.

However, Santiago was ready. With a smirk, he ducked low and landed a

cheap shot right where it hurt the most.

“Ugh!” Gwain’s face turned red from the pain. He hadn’t anticipated Santiago

to fight so dirty.

Santiago then jumped up, wrapping his legs around Gwain’s neck–not to

choke him but to force wine down his throat, laughing. “How’s the wine?”

Gwain was writhing in torment. Between the sharp strike and being forced to

drink, the whole experience was a total disgrace.

Satisfied, Santiago let go, and Gwain collapsed onto the floor, rolling in pain.

He looked completely defeated. The physical harm wasn’t severe, but the

shame cut deep.

Hank and Wyatt shouted in shock, “Mr. Gwain!” They never imagined

someone of Gwain’s stature could be brought down in just five moves.

Chapter 1976 An Unexpected Humiliation

Gwain wasn’t lacking in skill–he and Santiago were about evenly matched.

Yet when it came to real–world fighting, Santiago’s experience was on a

whole different level. It was like comparing a seasoned pro to a beginner.

“You alright, Mr. Gwain?” Hank hurried over to assist him.

Shane mocked, “Haha, what do you think? If my Master hadn’t gone easy on

him, Gwain would be limping away without his dignity–or his future kids!”

Roselynn added with a smirk, “A guy who only picks on women and kids

doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as my brother. Beat it!”

Gwain clenched his teeth, his eyes burning with rage. What a disgrace! I,

Gwain Lannister, have never been so thoroughly embarrassed! Still, he had

no energy left to argue. With his pride shattered, he turned and walked away.

Lady Rosa smiled sweetly at Santiago. “Sir, my master would like to see you.”

“Alright.” Santiago grinned and followed her without a second thought.

Suddenly, Shane called out, “Wait, weren’t you the one chasing after

Emmanuel, hoping to be his mistress? What made you become Maestro

Moretti’s disciple?”
