Chapter 29: None of Your Business

So he turned his eyes toward Colin Campbell. The young lady had been insensible. An elder ought to be sensible.

“Family head Colin, what are your thoughts on this matter? I think you would have to consider your granddaughter’s future, right?”

“I certainly have to consider my granddaughter’s future,” said Colin Campbell slowly.

When Howen heard that, Hehe, there’s a way. It looks like this old fellow Colin is in favor of ending the engagement.

But before he could be happy, he heard Colin Campbell add, “My granddaughter, Serena, has always been an assertive person. She has never made any mistakes in her decisions, and I have always supported her decisions in the past and also now. So, her decision is my decision!”

Puff!

Howen almost vomited blood.

Damn, why are you all so stubborn? This is my teacher’s instruction. You guys are not giving my teacher any face.

If it were an outsider, Howen would not have tolerated the other party’s repeated defiance of his will. He would have already gone forward and killed him. If the other party had disagreed, then death was the only outcome. But now, he could not do this. The other party had his junior protecting him, so he could only ‘convince others with reason’.

Seeing that he could not get through to Norton nor Colin, he had no choice but to target the other party involved in this matter, Ron.

“Your name is Ron, right? You should know your own situation. You can’t cultivate right now, so you’re just wasted. You’re not worthy of Serena at all. For the sake of Serena and for the good of your family clan, I advise you to be sensible and cancel the engagement!”

He was not as polite to Ron as he had been to Colin Campbell. Instead, he spoke in a commanding tone and even used insulting words. In his eyes, Ron was just a loser. There was no need for him to be polite to a loser. Moreover, after he had finished speaking, he immediately applied the intimidating pressure of a Great Mage to suppress Ron.

“Howen, stop it!” But at this moment, Serena ran directly in front of Ron and used all her strength as a Great Mage to block Howen’s suppression.

“Howen, I told you, Ron is my fiance. You have no right to criticize my fiance. Otherwise, we cannot continue our friendship even as classmates! As for the engagement, I’ll explain it to Teacher when I get back. You don’t have to worry about it!”

Seeing Serena so protective of Ron, Howen looked at Ron with a murderous intent. The others, who had witnessed this, had also reacted but differently. The one who was most pleased was naturally Norton. He looked at Serena, who was protecting her fiancé like an angry kitten, and felt gratified. He had been worried earlier. Although Serena and Ron had been in love previously with each other, that was two years ago. At that time, Ron was able to cultivate and was still the Brother Ron whom Serena admired. But now, Ron’s cultivation base had been completely ruined, and they had been separated for two years. Even if she really had a change of heart, it was completely understandable. Now, not only had Serena not changed her heart, she was even protective of her husband-to-be. How could he not be happy?

And then there was Ron. Ron looked at Serena, who was shielding him in front, his eyes brimming with love.

Hehe, Old Ancestor, I was not wrong, right? Serena and I love each other, and she will never change her mind. I’ve won this bet! Now I don’t have to hide my cultivation base anymore!

As Ron thought of this, it seemed that the Old Ancestor could hear the voice in his heart, he suddenly felt a slight chill pass through him. He was slightly stunned, then he became ecstatic. He knew that the chill was the confirmation from Old Ancestor that he did not have to hide his cultivation base anymore!

Then, to everyone’s surprise, Ron grabbed Serena’s hand and pulled her behind him, saying scornfully to Howen, “The engagement between me and Serena is none of your business!”

Silence! Dead silence!

Everyone looked at Ron in disbelief. “The other party is a top student of the Sky Blue Magic Academy, Howen! How dare a loser without any cultivation base speak to him like this? Is he tired of living?”

“What… what have you just said?” Howen said angrily, also staring at Ron in disbelief.

Ron was not afraid of his anger at all and said scornfully, “Actually, I should have told you two years ago that my engagement with Serena is none of your business!”

Damn, crazy, crazy! This is simply crazy!

This Ron was simply too bold. The other party was a member of the Sky Blue Magic Academy who had already become a Great Mage two years ago, and yet a loser like him dared to speak to a Great Mage in such a manner. It seemed like he was doomed this time. Even the Nicholas family clan would not be able to protect him. A mere Nicholas family clan was nothing to the Sky Blue Magic Academy. Many people were all shocked after hearing Ron’s words. Then, there were those who gloated. And these were from the Grimm family clan.

However, the members of the Nicholas family clan were all looking worried.

The other party is from the Sky Blue Magic Academy. How can you provoke him like this? You will implicate the entire family!

When Serena heard his words, she looked at Ron, who was standing in front of her. She knew that this was still the same Brother Ron she had known two years ago who would protect her. He had not changed a bit! Previously, Serena had been worried about Ron losing his willpower for good after he had suffered the serious injuries, but now it seemed that her Brother Ron was not as feeble as she had thought. However, it was too dangerous to provoke Howen like this!

With the thought, Serena decided that even if she were to die, she would not let Howen hurt her Brother Ron. Immediately, she wanted to move forward to the front of Ron to shield him.

But at this moment, Ron grabbed her hand, smiled at her, and said confidently, “Don’t worry, leave everything to me!”

Looking into Ron’s eyes and hearing his voice, Serena could not help but suddenly trust Ron fully. Since Brother Ron had said to leave the matter to him, he would definitely resolve it well!

Then, Ron looked at the worried members of the Nicholas family clan and said calmly, “Don’t worry, our Old Ancestor has said that the Nicholas family clan will not be threatened by anyone!”

When the others heard this, they did not know what was going on. They thought that Ron must have gone completely mad.

Otherwise, why is he so arrogant? One has to know that the other party is not just anyone, but someone from the Sky Blue Magic Academy.. Just saying you won’t be threatened by others is enough? It requires strength, but do you have the strength?
