Rowen, with a hint of disdain at the corners of his mouth, strikes Morency’s chest with a punch. He is already on the first level of his training, and his strength has grown so much that it is no problem for him to cope with an enchanter like Morency.

With a muffled groan, Morency falls on his back and faints.

“You deserve it!” Rowen gives a cold snort, ignoring all the looks around him, and turns away.

The name Rowen Wolf, at this moment, has been remembered by many people.

After that, Rowen heads for the entrance to the house. It is almost time dinner, and he is ready to join Nina and Carl.

“Rowen!” A soft voice suddenly comes from behind.

Hearing the sound, Rowen involuntarily stops and turns. A dreamy and beautiful girl is approaching him. It’s Joey, that beautiful girl he even doesn’t dare to see.

Rowen takes a deep breath to calm himself down as the girl approaches, but for a moment he does not know what to say.

“Haven’t seen you for months, and you don’t know me?” Joey smiles. “Rowen, I’m really glad to see you here.”

“Yes? And?” Rowen squeezes out a few words stiffly.

“Can’t I say hello to you?” Joey smiles softly.

“If you have no other things, then I’ll go and do my things.” Rowen turns and is ready to leave.

Joey frowns a little and opens her mouth to say something, but in the end she doesn’t. She just looks at Rowen with a strange look in his eyes.

Rowen sprints for a few hundred meters, feeling a little worried that Joey may call him, but he also feels a little hopeful, until finally he doesn’t hear Joey’s voice. He can’t help but stop and look back, only to find that Joey is nowhere.

“You must like her, right?” Suddenly a sudden voice comes from his side.

Rowen, startled, turns to see a tall and handsome teenager looking at him with a queer look in his eyes.

“What did you say?” Rowen draws back a little with a frowning look and feels slightly jealous of his appearance, and his sudden presence, which he did not feel at all, gave him an added alertness.

“You don’t have to answer. I know you like her. There aren’t many men in the world who don’t like Joey when they see her.”

“Are you trying to tell me that you like her, too?” Rowen gives a cold snort.

“Yeah, I like her too.” The handsome boy stresses his tone. “But my love is different from yours.”

“You know me?” Rowen is annoyed by the fact that many people seem to have known him, but he knows few of them.

“Of course, I can even say that I know you very well. If you have two cousin sisters and one elder sister, and all three are interested in someone, you will be familiar with that person.” Says the boy with some helplessness in his tone.

“What?” Rowen feels puzzled, “Who the hell are you?”

“I’m Carlos Perrucci.” The teenager smiles weakly, “a brother two minutes younger than Joey.”

“Brother?” Rowen is stunned. He thought this guy is an admirer of Joey, who wanted to get him in trouble when seeing he talked with Joey.

“Yes, I was born only two minutes later than Joey, but I’m her real brother.” Carlos smiles faintly. “Surely you know by now who my two cousin sisters are. They are both interested in you!”

“I’m not interested in your cousins.” Rowen looks indifferent. He knows they are Karen and Caroline.

“I wish you are interested in them.” Carlos’s smile has faded. “Because it’s so much better than you being interested in Joey.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your sister Joey, either.” Says Rowen coldly.

“Rowen, you can’t fool me.” Carlos shakes his head. “I just want you to know that Joey has a fiance, and this man, you and our family, can’t

“I can also tell you that I have a fiancee.” Rowen throws out a word and turns and leaves. Somehow, when he heard that Joey has a future husband, he feels like his heart has been hit hard with a hammer.

“Stay away from her,” Rowen tells himself, trying to suppress his discomfort as he hurries toward the college gate, where he meets Nina and Carl a moment later.

“Rowen, are you all right?” Upon returning to the hotel, Patriarch Brian asks solicitously.

“Okay.” Rowen nods.

“It’s a nice place to live in, but everyone seems to be better than me.” Carl says grimly.

“I’m not bad, either, but some annoying boys always want to talk with me!” Nina purses her lips, “I’d like to hit them with a sword!”

“Nina, a girl needs to be gentle.” Barnea says quickly.

“I am already gentle enough!” Nina curls her mouth. “I am just thinking, and not actually cutting them.” Bania shakes his head. There is nothing he can do about his dear girl.

“Now that everyone is settled, Bania and I are going back.” Patriarch Brian nods and takes a moneybag out of his arms and hands it to Rowen. “That’s for you three,” he says.

Rowen nods and silently takes it.

“You are the family’s hope.” Brian looks at the three men and says in a serious voice.

“Patriarch, we will not let you down.” Rowen sounds confident.

Brian nods and pats Rowen on the shoulder. “Take care of Nina and Carl.”

“Yes, Patriarch.” Rowen replies.

After lunch, Brain and Bania drive away, and Rowen, standing at the hotel door, watches their carriage disappear, knowing that from that moment on, he will be truly responsible for the revival of the Wolf family.

“Rowen, shall we go to the college?” Nina’s voice rouses Rowen from his reverie.

“You go ahead, I have something to do.” Rowen shakes his head.

“Why? Waiting for your fiancee to come back?” Nina is a little upset.

“Sort of.” Rowen doesn’t deny it for this is one of the things he is going to do.

Nina leaves with Carl finally. And for them, a real college life is about to begin, while Rowen has a few more things to do.

Half an hour later, Rowen shows up at the adventurer’s house. On his second visit, he has already made his way to the second floor, but he is stopped by two pretty girls.

“Please verify your ID card first, Sir.””Says one of the beautiful girls.

“Id card?” Rowen gasps. “What’s that?”

“If you don’t have an ID card, you need a referral, or you can’t see Miss Jasmine.” Says another maiden.

“I was here the other day. My name is Rowen Wolf. But you didn’t give me an ID card.”

“Then please wait a moment, I’ll make a report first.” Then she turns and leaves.

A moment later, the girl returns and gives Rowen a small salute. “Mr. Wolf, come in!”

Rowen walks in quickly, and the rich scent of jasmine creeps up his nostrils again. It is daylight, but the hall is still dark, and, as before, it is at the far end of the hall, and there is a glimmer of light.

Rowen has only just arrived at the small window when the familiar soft voice says, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wolf, but we haven’t heard from your parents yet. Please be patient.”

“No news at all?” Rowen feels disappointed.

“If we know anything, we’ll let you know. Don’t worry.” Says Miss Jasmine softly, “It happened a long time ago. We need time.”

“All right, then.” Rowen has no choice but to wait. “I’ve changed my place, Miss Jasmine, and I’ll give you a new address… ”

“Is this A11 dormitory at the Royal Knights College?” Miss Jasmine smiles softly.

“You already know?” Rowen starts.

“Mr. Wolf, it’s easy for us to know” Miss Jasmine says. “How can I give you more secret information if I don’t have this ability?”

Rowen thinks so. His place of lodging is not supposed to be secret. He just doesn’t think Miss Jasmine would find out so soon.

“So, Miss Jasmine, is there anything right for me now?” Rowen asks after a moment’s hesitation. The information hasn’t arrived yet, but he has to earn ten thousand gold pieces first.

“Sorry, not yet.” There is a note of apology in Miss Jasmine’s voice. “Again, Mr. Wolf, I ask you to be patient. We will inform you of any news or assignment that suits you. You have no need to come here and ask yourself.”

Rowen returns to the hotel and finds that Agatha and Rederot have returned.
