Shane immediately recognized her. It was Lady Rosa, the sister of the Snake
Master.
With a playful grin, Lady Rosa asked, “Can you guess who I am?”
Shane was stumped; he had no clue unless she revealed it. Santiago, on the
other hand, smiled knowingly. He had recognized Lady Rosa long ago,
especially since she’d stopped by to see him at Hero’s Village. That was why
he had directed the intoxicated butterfly to lead Emmanuel to Mackenzie.
Yet, Santiago was too excited to catch up with an old friend to fill Shane in on
this.
Meanwhile, Gwain and his group were meandering through the Magnolia
Theater. They didn’t really want to linger, but Gwain had just faced an
unexpected loss, and his spirits were all over the place.
He thought, I’ve always held my own against Envoy Ash and Xarri, but today I
got wholly crushed! What a disgrace!

Sensing Gwain’s gloom, Hank and Wyatt stayed silent and trailed behind him.
Out of nowhere, a guy riding a tiger appeared before them, catching them
off guard!
The trio had once felt unbeatable, especially Gwain. In Ancient Woods, he
boldly proclaimed himself the top fighter, proudly calling himself Southern
Lannister. However, his confidence plummeted after facing several tough
opponents and suffering a defeat. Seeing a man on a fierce tiger was
enough to shake him.
“What… what do you want?” Hank probed quickly, his voice a bit shaky.
“Nothing important.” The guy looked at Gwain, disappointed on his face,
before turning the tiger to leave.
Gwain’s pride couldn’t take even a trace of disrespect. The guy’s dismissive
look felt like a dagger to his heart.
“Hey, wait!” Gwain called out indifferently.

He then asked, “Who are you? What gives you the right to hang out in the
Magnolia Theater? Are you one of Maestro Moretti’s special guests today?”
The guy turned back to face him, his expression unbothered as he replied,
“I’m Yorick Dotson.”
“Huh?!” The three of them were taken aback even further.
“Seriously?! You’re Yorick Dotson?! The one who came down from Shoiya and
took down half of Chanaea’s martial artists in a month?” Wyatt exclaimed,
realizing they should’ve recognized him sooner.
The guy on the tiger was none other than the Savage Martial Saint, who had
vanished for years.
“Claiming I swept through half of Chanaea is a bit much, but I take down 114
martial artists, including four sect leaders, twenty–four grandmasters, and
eighty–six so–called kings of fists, legs, palms, spears, and swords!” Yorick
replied, sounding completely serious.

“You came here to challenge me?” Gwain asked, his voice icy.
Yorick responded, “Exactly. I’ve heard the top fighters in Chanaea are the
Northern Wolf Warrior and Southern Lannister. Now that I’ve met you, I want to
see how I stack up against the best.”
Gwain pressed, “Then why did you look disappointed earlier?”
Yorick explained, “Because I don’t think you’re my equal. I knew your grandpa,
and it doesn’t feel right to bully a friend’s kid.”
Hank and Wyatt exchanged concerned glances, worried that Gwain might
