Chapter 1975 Gwain knew when to back down. After Santiago kicked him hard enough to leave his arm tingling, he realized it was best not to push his luck. Witnessing the internal strength Santiago wielded made him rethink any plans to fight. Wyatt agreed it was the right call. Even if they teamed up, they might still lose. Even if they somehow managed to pull off a victory, it would take an exhausting number of moves. The last thing they wanted was for things to spiral out of control. Isabella and the rest could show up at any moment, and their captive, Roselynn, was their weakest link.
As Gwain was about to stroll away with a nonchalant comment, Shane interjected, "Master, they've held Roselynn captive and even made an attempt on my life! We can't just let them leave. If you walk away now, they'll absolutely return for her!" Shane had surprisingly nailed it. Gwain couldn't risk losing the Dragon Tome, especially after meeting so many equally skilled fighters lately. He needed to get a grip on the Dragon Tto cout on top.

So, he turned back with a frosty glare but kept his tone polite. "Sir, do you have any final thoughts?" Santiago shot back, "Are you really Gwain Lannister? Aren't you and the Wolf Warrior supposed to be the best in the world? Why do you want to run away just because I rattled you? You're way below the Wolf Warrior!" He wasn't wrong. Santiago had gone head-to-head with Emmanuel at Peach Blossom House; while neither had gone all out, Emmanuel had held his own. Yet Gwain didn't even have the guts to challenge Santiago, obviously showing who the real master was.
Santiago's remark about being inferior to the Wolf Warrior fueled Gwain's anger. He spun around, fury in his eyes. "Sir! You should watch what you say! I'm on my way to see Maestro Moretti-not because I'm afraid of you!" 215 19:23 Tue, Nov 12 u B ☐☐☐☐, 53 53% Chapter 1975 The Standoff Santiago burst into laughter. "Oh really? Visiting Maestro Moretti? She invitedhere today, so there's no way she has tfor you. That's a pretty flimsy excuse!" Another dig! Gwain's anger flared even higher. He thought, This irritating old man says I'm not as good as the Wolf Warrior, and now he's brushingoff thoroughly. I need to show everyone I'm not to be underestimated! "Showwhat you've got!" Gwain declared, drawing his sword.
Hank and Wyatt exchanged astonished glances. They thought, Mr. Gwain didn't even draw his sword against the top fighter under the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, let alone the genius Xarri! It's clear how much he fears this old man! "Step back! Lettake on this so-called best in the world!" Santiago ordered, and Shane briefly dragged Roselynn out of harm's way.
Hank was wounded, and Wyatt wasn't the type to resort to dirty tricks like the Great Four Envoys. He remained on the sidelines, quietly observing the 3/5 19:23 Tue, Nov 12 B Chapter 1975 The Standoff impending clash.
With a casual flick, Santiago sent a hip flask sailing toward Gwain.
53% Gwain tried to slice it with his Noble Sword, a weapon famed enough to be on
the Hundred Tools list, but he was shocked to find it couldn't even but through the regular hip flask.
As the two immense energies clashed, the hip flask ricocheted back into Santiago's hands. Gwain swiftly performed a backflip, landing smoothly on his feet. Then he launched into a move called Surge Slash, unleashing a dazzling flurry of twelve sword strikes in a breathtaking display.

"Looks like you're finally catching on!" Santiago's voice echoed, but then he vanished.
Noticing that Gwain had lost sight of Santiago, Hank exclaimed, "Mr. Gwain, he's down on the ground!" Gwain hastily glanced down, and Santiago was sprawled out, moving like a 4/5 19:23 Tue, Nov 12 BO Chapter 1975 The Standoff phantom.
