The evening prior to the prayer ceremony, the Chapel of Oros was already in turmoil–something no one had expected.

“Mr. Gwain, I heard Emmanuel is here. Should we go greet him?” Wyatt asked as he approached.

“That’s a fake!” Gwain scoffed. He might not be the sharpest, but Isaac certainly was. With a smirk, he added, “Someone from the Grand Hunt Alliance is trying to stir up trouble–probably looking to create some buzz before the big event.”

Wyatt’s eyes lit up with realization. “Mr. Gwain, you’re brilliant! So, what’s the plan?”

“This is the perfect chance!” Gwain stood abruptly, his eyes flashing with determination. “I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to confront one of the Four Chief friars of the Chapel of Oros. Had it not been for that traitor who betrayed my family, the Dragon Tome would never have ended up with the Summerton family!”

Wyatt hesitated. “Hmm… Mr. Gwain, tomorrow is the prayer ceremony. Plus, the Grand Martial Showdown between Chanaea and Shoiya is happening. If you stir up trouble now, I’m concerned-”

Gwain shot him a sharp look, cutting him off mid–sentence. He instructed with a smug grin, “You stay here and act like I never left. Since Emmanuel is ‘here, if anything happens at the Chapel of Oros, he’ll be the one they blame.”

Wyatt knew exactly what was happening–Gwain was setting Emmanuel up. Yet there was nothing he could do, so he simply nodded.

With a cold smile, Gwain leaped out the window. His white silhouette flickered and disappeared into the night.

Anyone familiar with the Chapel of Oros knew that the Lannister family had long been the face of Chanaean martial arts. Their legacy stretched back thousands of years, and they were known for housing a vast collection of martial arts scriptures. However, the Chapel of Oros had an even greater collection, making it one of the most protected places in the martial arts world.

Because of the scriptures‘ immense value, the Chapel of Oros appointed Master Theron, one of the Four Chief Friars and strongest warriors, to guard the library

It was said that he had spent nearly thirty years inside the library without ever leaving. While the other three friars occasionally made public appearances, Theron remained a mystery. Only a handful of people had ever seen him.

The library’s one hundred guardian disciples remained vigilant even as the outside world was in turmoil. Their mission was clear: protect the sacred texts at all costs.

These disciples were among the best martial artists in the world. Even top–tier assassins wouldn’t dare attempt to sneak in.

Yet tonight, a white shadow moved past them unnoticed.
