Chapter 2440

Night had fallen over the inner city, where a secluded mansion stood shrouded in mystery.

Inside, two young men sat engrossed in a game of Go.

The man on the left was Frost Bane, who had recently visited the Ballard family. Opposite him was Matthias Linsor, the second prince, a broad-shouldered man dressed in extravagant attire.

The two focused intently on the board, their moves alternating between swift decisions and moments of deep contemplation.

After the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, Frost Bane sighed and conceded.

“Frost Bane, I must admit your skills have improved. I was nearly defeated,” Matthias remarked, stroking his beard with a look of mild surprise.
