Norton said, “That’s true. What requests does your teacher have?” The other party’s teacher was definitely at least a Great Archmage. Norton had to listen to the orders of a Great Archmage.

Howen said arrogantly, “Before we left the academy, Teacher had told me that since Junior is already a student of our Sky Blue Magic Academy, she deserves a better marriage. Therefore, her engagement with your family should be annulled!”

Upon hearing this, the entire place fell silent. Everyone had different reactions. The people from the Nicholas family clan were naturally very furious, but the other party was from the Sky Blue Magic Academy, so they dared not make any noise. Otherwise, they might cause trouble for the family clan. There were some who were not concerned about the matter; they were just waiting to have a good laugh. There were also some who were gloating, and these were the people from the Grimm family clan.

Before Norton could respond, Serena stood up angrily and said to Howen, “Senior, when did Teacher say such a thing? Don’t talk nonsense.”

Howen looked at Serena like a big brother and said gently, “Serena, before we left the academy, Teacher had called me aside and said these things to me when I was alone with him. You’re still young and don’t know these things. Teacher was doing all this for you.”

When Serena heard this, her expression immediately turned ugly. Before they set off, Howen had indeed been called away by her teacher to talk about some things, but Serena had not expected that it was about her marriage.

At this moment, Howen had also taken out a letter. After she saw the handwriting on the envelope, Serena’s expression turned even uglier, because she could clearly see that the handwriting on the envelope belonged to her teacher.

With the envelope in his hand, Howen said to Norton, “Family head Norton, this is a letter written personally by our Teacher. His intentions have all been stated in the letter.”

It is not good enough to have his student deliver the message, he has even written a letter personally?

Norton’s expression was ugly, but he had no choice except to take the letter. He opened and read it. Even though Norton had gone through a lot and had long since stopped showing his emotions, his expression still turned ugly after he had read the contents of the letter.

The letter had indeed been written by the other party’s teacher. The person’s tone was polite, and it was a negotiating attitude. The general meaning was that Serena was his student and had a bright future ahead of her, and she should not be trapped in tiny Winterfrost. For the sake of Serena, the Nicholas family clan should take the initiative to annul the engagement!

Damn, not only did he want the engagement to be annulled, he had even wanted the Nicholas family clan to take the initiative to annul the engagement. Although the other party was very polite in his words, he was still too much of a bully.

Colin Campbell, who was sitting beside Norton, saw that Norton’s expression had become even uglier. He took the letter and read it. He secretly sighed at how domineering Serena’s teacher was.

He had not even said anything yet about his own granddaughter’s engagement.

Even if you are Selina’s teacher, you are still an outsider, what right do you have to want us to annul the engagement?

At this moment, Howen spoke again. He took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in front of Norton saying, “Here are 10 Magic Pills, Concentration Pills. Consider them as compensation to your Nicholas family clan.”

Whoosh!

When they heard it was the Concentration Pill, and that 10 was taken out in one go, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

The Concentration Pill was a grade-2 Magic Pill. It could rapidly concentrate magical power and assist cultivation. It could even help one break through to the realm of the Great Mage. Even if one had already reached the realm of the Great Mage, it could still help one rapidly increase his strength. The market price for such a pill was 100 Magic Stones. Furthermore, it was the kind of pill that even if one could afford to pay the price, one might not be able to find it in the market. This type of Concentration Pill, which had come from the teacher of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, would even be doubled the price.

Just an annulment of engagement, and they could get so many benefits. Everyone started to be envious of the Nicholas family clan. If it were them, they would definitely agree.

Everyone looked at Norton. They all felt that he would definitely agree. After all, even without these 10 Concentration Pills, the engagement might not also be able to proceed. Now, they should annul it while the offer was valid and quickly grab the benefits.

However, Norton did not even look at the 10 Concentration Pills. Instead, he looked at Colin Campbell, who nodded imperceptibly. This made Norton very grateful. He had already understood what Colin Campbell meant.

Then Norton said, “I appreciate your teacher’s good intentions, but this engagement is a private matter between us and the Campbell family. It has nothing to do with your teacher, so there’s no need for your teacher to worry.”

Whoosh!

The crowd was in an uproar once again. Many people started discussing spiritedly. After all, that was the teacher of the Sky Blue Magic Academy. His strength was at least that of a Great Archmage. And Norton, a mere Great Mage, had actually dared to go against the other party’s wishes. This was simply courting death.

Howen looked at Norton with an irate expression and said coldly, “Family head Norton, you have to think carefully before making a decision. This is my teacher’s wish. If you don’t give my teacher any face, I won’t be able to answer to my teacher when we return. If my teacher blames you, your puny Nicholas family clan won’t be able to bear it!”

This is a blatant threat!

“Enough, Senior Howen!”

Serena reproached softly and stood up abruptly. She glared at Howen, her face red and she said angrily, “Senior Howen, you don’t have to worry about me!”

Howen reprimanded, “This is Teacher’s idea! Are you not going to listen to Teacher’s words?

“I…” Serena did not dare to say that she would not listen to her teacher.

Howen softened his tone and said gently, “Junior, I’m doing this for your own good. Are you really going to marry a loser?” Then Howen looked at Ron and said disdainfully,” He’s just a loser, what right does he have to marry you?”

“Shut up!” Serena looked at Howen angrily and said, “I won’t allow you to say that.” Then she looked at Ron and said, “Ron is my fiance, you have no right to criticize him!”

Howen did not expect Serena’s reaction to be so fierce. He was momentarily at a loss for what to do. Beside him, Fiona and Klein were also at a loss. They had not even heard of their junior’s engagement, nor had their teacher told them about it. They were caught off guard. If it was against outsiders, they could still stand on Howen’s side. But now, it was their junior sister on the other side. They could only remain neutral. Looking at the expressions on their faces, Howen knew that he could not count on them..
