“I’m sure the Campbell family clan is going to annul the engagement, but Ron, the good-for-nothing, is definitely not willing.”

“That’s right. Such a great beauty and one that is even a genius at cultivation. I heard that she has already advanced to become a Great Mage. This is such a great opportunity for a freeloader. If it were me, I wouldn’t agree to canceling the engagement either.”

Although these murmurings were deliberately in lowered voices, Ron could hear them clearly with his current cultivation base. If it had been in the past, he would definitely have felt very uncomfortable, but now, he did not care at all.

Let these clowns talk.

“Oh, my brother Norton, congratulations on having a great-grandson!” Colin Campbell said happily when he saw Norton.

“Same to you, same to you. He’s going to call you great-grandfather in future,” Norton said happily. He even glanced at Ron after saying this, meaning that he was talking about Ron and Serena’s marriage. If the two of them got married, their family clans would naturally become one, and Norton’s great-grandson would naturally be Colin Campbell’s great-grandson.

Norton was actually worried that the Campbell family clan would renege on their engagement. After all, Ron could not cultivate now, while Serena was becoming more and more outstanding. The gap between the two of them was growing.

When Colin Campbell heard this, he was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud. “Yes, you’re right. He’s also my great-grandson.”

Norton was even happier to hear this, because this was equivalent to Colin Campbell still acknowledging the marriage plan between Ron and Serena.

“Hello, Grandpa Colin!” At this moment, Ron also bowed respectfully to Colin Campbell.

“Well, well, Ron, you’re getting more and more handsome,” said Colin Campbell coolly, glancing at Ron without showing any unusual emotion.

“Please come inside,” Norton said as he led Colin Campbell down the hall.

“Head of the Grimm family clan has arrived!” At this moment, a loud voice suddenly made Norton, who was walking into the hall, stop in his tracks. When the other guests heard who it was, their expressions became strange.

“Don’t they say that the Grimm family and the Nicholas family are not on good terms and are even enemies? Why have they invited the Grimm family clan to the banquet now? Could those be just rumors that the two family clans were not getting along?”

Norton hesitated for a moment before turning around again to welcome the head of the Grimm family. No matter how despicable he had been privately, he still had to show etiquette on the surface. Otherwise, he would definitely be laughed at by others. He saw Maril Grimm walking over with a few family members.

“Uncle Norton, congratulations on the new addition to the Nicholas family!” Maril said with a smile. If one had not known him for many years, one would have thought that he was easy to talk to and get along with.

However, Norton was very clear about this person. When Maril’s father, the previous head of the Grimm family clan was still in power, he was already very hostile towards the Nicholas family clan. He had even advocated driving them out of Winterfrost and destroying them completely. This was a person who had advocated violence and one who was very radical.

It was only after his father had gone into seclusion and handed over the position of the family head to him that his personality became more restrained. Before his father went into seclusion, he had reminded him not to do anything overboard till he came out of seclusion. If his father were to emerge from seclusion, successful in his advancement, the inconsequential Nicholas family clan which did not even have a Great Mage, would be subject to their whims and fancies.

However, before his father had come out of seclusion, the Nicholas family clan had already produced two Great Magi. But, as they had only advanced recently, the Grimm family clan had not taken them seriously.

“Thank you for your kind words. The Nicholas family clan will definitely prosper,” said Norton as he squeezed out a smile and invited Maril Grimm into the hall for lunch.

As the saying goes, visitors are guests. Norton could not drive the people from the Grimm family clan out. If he had done so, he would be mocked. However, on the way in, Maril Grimm took a casual glance in the direction of the ancestral hall. He thought he had done this discreetly, but Romo was sharp enough to have noticed it. Indeed, Maril Grimm was checking out the ancestral hall.

Looks like this guy is up to no good. Hmph, you better behave yourself and not cause any trouble. Otherwise, I will definitely make you suffer.?

Romo said coldly in his heart.

At the same time, Maril had suddenly sensed a hint of murderous vibes. It disappeared without a trace in an instant, making him wonder if it was perhaps just his imagination.

But soon, he felt relieved. Who from the insignificant Nicholas family clan would dare to harm him? If this were to happen, he would be most glad. He could then have a reason to exterminate the entire Nicholas family clan.

They had come into the main hall. When they had just sat down, they heard a loud announcement from outside. “The City Lord has arrived!” Everyone stood up and went out to welcome him.

A middle-aged man with white hair and a ruddy complexion strode in. He was Lein Dupont, the City Lord of Winterfrost. He was also the only Great Archmage in Winterfrost currently.

The guests were surprised to see the City Lord. They had thought that a prominent figure such as the City Lord would not attend such a small banquet held by the Nicholas family clan. At most, he would just send his subordinate to congratulate them. No one had expected the City Lord to attend in person. This had meant that the Nicholas family clan was highly regarded.

It looked like the Nicholas family clan’s luck had really turned for the better recently. Their businesses were prospering, and two in the family had even advanced to become Great Magi within a short period of time. The strength of the family clan had increased tremendously, and even the City Lord had been alerted.

“City Lord Lein, we are honored by your presence. Please forgive us for not going out to meet you!” Norton quickly walked up to City Lord Lein and apologized.

“Don’t worry, today is a good day. I have just seen your great-grandson, little Arthur. He has good innate qualities and will definitely achieve great things in the future!

Lein Dupont said with a smile. When he was coming in, he had taken a look at little Arthur. With his cultivation base, he could easily tell with just one look that little Arthur had extraordinary magical power aptitude. He could not help but be impressed. The Nicholas family clan was really lucky. Previously, there was Ron, who was the number one genius in Winterfrost.. He had just fallen and now another had appeared, with even better aptitude.
