”Decide quickly, I have other places to be,” I sneered at Chris watching his eye wander around trying to think of a way out of his current predicament. When caught Chris would be directly charged with the Charge of conspiring against Southern Region. 

A Western Prince conspiring against the Southern Region, not that was the recipe for a huge scandal. Regardless of the final outcome, Chris Chase will lose all credibility. But to get the maximum out of this situation I needed to do one more thing. Hopefully, Chris would play along. Well, he had no choice but to dance to my strings.

The crowd grew noisy not knowing what was happening but the lack of information did not stop them from speculating wildly. Especially the influencers who were streaming Chrisʼs challenge to Southern Card Creationist Association live. Most of the speculations and narratives they came up with favored Chris. They did so not out of malice towards the Southern Region or anything but because it would increase their stream stats and that narrative was what most of their viewers favored. 

While most of the high-ranking Card apprentices in the audience were getting jumpy because they found that the Auction house had not only turned on its space isolation array but also turned on its trap array making them feel like frogs trapped in a jar. However, they calmed themselves down as the array of formations seemed to only be targeting the young card creationist Chris. 

”Sir, are you sure, Chris Ainsworth is Chris Chase?” Aria asked the director. As for Ann, after listening to the boy also claim that Chris Ainsworth was Chris Chase she was certain that the young card creationist dressed as a beggar was none other than Chris Chase. 

Coming to this conclusion, she finally understood why the young card creationist let out a malicious intent seeing her on the balcony of the Royal familyʼs exclusive VIP box. Chris Chaseʼs hatred for Anna was not news to her. With this, Ann was more certain that the card creationist dressed as a beggar was none other than the Western Regionʼs proud Prince, Chris Chase. 

”Rewind,” Desperate and with nowhere to retreat, Chris decided to use his last resort, the Ainsworth family treasure. Rewind was one of many miraculous abilities Chris had gained from the Ainsworth family treasure, it allowed him to turn back time. 

However, because his Realm was low, Chris could barely use it. With Card Grandmaster realm Chris could turn back time for 20 minutes. Thankfully, that was enough for him to use the teleportation ability of the Ainsworth family treasure to leave the auction house before the Southern Emperor activates the Space isolation array formation of the auction house.

ʼThis proves it, this bastard was the one who turned back time back then,ʼ Suddenly arriving back on the balcony of the Royal familyʼs exclusive VIP box I was a little surprised but quickly adjusted to the shift in time. I did not have the time to have the auction house director activate the array formation of the auction house so turning to Agatha and ordered, ”Agatha, disturb the surrounding space, Immediately.” 

Following my instruction, without even giving it a thought Agatha immediately used her power to disturb the space surrounding the auction house. Gathering the attention of all the high-ranking Card Apprentices on her. 

”Wyatt, whatʼs wrong?” Ann enquired. 

”He plans to escape using long-distance teleportation, now that I have seen through his disguise,” I explained as I flew up from the balcony and headed towards the stage where Chris was coughing blood. 

As I descended on the stage my eyes met with Chrisʼs and I uttered, ”Whatʼs hurry? The challenge isnʼt over yet.”

”You—” Chris Chase looked at the Silver Milk Fraudster in disbelief as after rewinding the time it was not repeating itself, instead, it had totally changed. 

Other than the limit to his Rewind ability there was another reason why Chris Chase chose to rewind time to this point. Because he knew at this point of the auction house had yet to activate their array formations and not to forget he had just defeated the representative of the Southern card creationist association so even if he vanished in the middle of the challenge the fame and reputation he had built will not be totally lost. Might even explode because of the mystery behind his sudden vanishing. 

Because of all these reasons, Chris Chase did not hesitate to use the rewind ability of the Ainsworth family treasure. Arriving back in time Chris Chase immediately tried to use the teleportation ability of his Ainsworth Family treasure, which because of his low realm takes a moment to charge, to escape from the southern capital but somehow the space surrounding the auction house was suddenly disturbed, canceling his teleportation ability, which resulted in him facing a severe backlash. 

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Chris looked at the boy and said, ”You, what is the meaning of this?” 

”I should be the one asking you this. Why are you using long-distance teleportation in the middle of a challenge?” I questioned Chris while acting as if there was nothing out of the ordinary because I did not plan on letting Chris know that his time ability did not affect me. 

”...” Chrisʼs frown deepened, he did not know how to respond to the boy. His thoughts were occupied by the fact that his circumstance was suddenly worse than before he used the rewind ability. Since it will be a while before he can use the Rewind ability again Chris felt like wasted his ability over nothing. 

The thought that the timeline might have changed because another person also knew the timeline as he did, did not cross Chrisʼs mind because he was that confident about the abilities of the Ainsworth Family Treasure.

”Donʼt tell me you are trying to escape because your disguise has been exposed.”
