Gwain and Hank both stiffened in shock. This guy certainly knows how to put

on a show!

"I don't like people like you. If what you say doesn't please me, I might just

teach you a lesson," Gwain threatened, his aura intensifying, intimidating

Gautier.

Both men held mutual disdain for one another. With personalities like theirs, it was impossible for them to get along. But Gautier had no choice but to lower himself, as he needed to make use of this self-important man. Smiling, he replied, "I'm here to give you the Dragon Tome, Mr. Gwain."

"What?!" Hank couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.

Although Gwain didn't say anything, his expression revealed an even greater shock than Hank's. After the initial surprise, a flood of joy surged within him, though it was tainted with suspicion. Before Hank could ask any questions, Gwain beat him to it, demanding, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I'm just a simple scholar, not even strong enough to harm a fly. Would I really dare come to the Lannister Estate and lie to the great Gwain Lannister, the number one martial artist in Chanaea?” Gautier replied calmly, his smile never faltering.

“Alright, hand over the tome to Mr. Gwain then!" Hank demanded, reaching out his hand. But Gautier merely smiled, his expression tinged with disdain. Gwain, sharper than Hank, immediately asked, "If you really hand me the Dragon Tome, whatever you want from the Lannister Family, I will consider it. "You're as clever as they say, Mr. Gwain. No wonder you're hailed as the best in the world!" Gautier had studied Gwain's personality thoroughly, and he knew that repeatedly flattering him with the title of "the best" would only inflate his ego and increase his willingness to negotiate.

"Take a look and see if this is the Dragon Tome," Gautier said as he took out an elegantly crafted book, its cover embossed with the words "Dragon Tome." This was something he had meticulously written out based on what Roselynn had recited the previous day, made to look as authentic as possible.

Gwain, still cautious, took the Dragon Tome and began examining it. Hank, watching from the side, couldn't figure out Gautier's motives. Why would someone come to the Lannister Estate with something so valuable, completely unafraid that Gwain might simply take it and brush off the whole exchange as a rightful return of stolen property?

But the next moment, Hank saw Gwain's expression shift. Not only that, but Gwain seemed to be testing it out. Suddenly, he broke into an elated grin. "It's real! This is the true Dragon Tome!" Unlike the fake one from before, this technique generated powerful internal strength without clouding the mind. "Good, as long as Mr. Gwain can confirm its authenticity," Gautier said smoothly. "But this is only half of the Dragon Tome. Consider it a down payment. If you want the other half, you'll have to do something for me."

It finally dawned on Hank why Gautier had been so confident-this was his

leverage!
