What followed were screams of pain as Andy was thrown to the ground over and over again. Yet, throughout it all, the South Regent stood perfectly still. 

“It has been more than ten moves. To be honest, if you weren’t a White, you wouldn’t be here,” the South Regent said. 

Andy lay flat on the floor, his eyes staring into the blank space above him in disbelief. 

He had lost. He was no match for the South Regent. After twelve moves, he could not even lay a finger on the South Regent’s shirt and was knocked down repeatedly. 

Andy felt despair. He felt like there was no way he could beat the South Regent, so how could Ethan have beaten the South Regent? It did not make sense. 

“Did Ethan really defeat you in ten moves?” he asked, clinging to a thread of hope. 

“Those are just rumors,” the South Regent explained. 

Andy’s eyes lit up with hope. “I knew it! I knew he could not have beaten you, let alone in ten moves!” 

If even Ethan could not defeat the South Regent, then it made sense that he lost too. However, what the South Regent said left Andy stunned. 

“He defeated me with just one move.” 

Andy’s mind went blank 

One move? Ethan had defeated the South Regent in one move? 

Meanwhile, he had exchanged twelve moves with the South Regent, only to be crushed every time. If facing the South Regent left him in utter despair, how powerful must Ethan be? 

A violent tremor ran through Andy’s body, his confidence shattering with every second. 

Seeing the state Andy was in, the South Regent knew how to break him completely. 

“We’re not far from the borders. If you want to go back, you can walk back. We won’t stop you.” 

He planned to release Andy and then spread the news of him being outside of the borders so that others would go after him. 

Andy had come to him just to challenge him. If the young man loved to fight so much, the South Regent would like to see if he could fight his way back to Riveria. Even if Andy died along the way, it had nothing to do with him since he had not lifted a finger. 

Besides, he believed Andy would likely kill himself. If the Whites wanted revenge, he could also use the other families within Riveria to keep them in check

The Whites were one of the bigger and most influential families, but the South Regent was not afraid of them. After losing to Ethan countless times, he gained a lot of experience and knew how to maximize his gains while putting in the least effort. 

If he could not rival his foe, he could use others to do it. The simplest way would be using Stephen and the Quinns to keep the Whites occupied. 

The South Regent gave Andy a piece of map and then told him the way back before leaving with his men. 

One of his men asked, “Are we really going to let him go?” 

The South Regent grinned. “Don’t worry. He won’t be able to make it back alive.” 

Andy lay on the ground for a while to regain his senses. He glanced at the map, then dragged himself to his feet, setting off in the direction of Riveria. However, his confidence was shattered. 

He had come with his head held high, ready to challenge the South Regent, only to be utterly defeated. Worst still, he found out that Ethan, who he looked down on, defeated the South Regent with just one move. The massive difference in strength made him feel hopeless. 

Before he could make any distance, he was stopped by a few young men, armed with daggers.
