Bill cursed in exasperation. This fellow usually did not give him face, but now he wanted to fight with him.
"It's been a few days since we've seen our Vice Dean being so capable! Today, I want to see how you're going to expel me and Little Li Wei!" Owen said without giving in.
"Owen, you have to know that Li Wei has violated the school's rules and is gambling with others! Are you sure you want to protect him?" Bill forcefully suppressed his anger and once again placed himself on the high ground for the good of the academy.
"Don't talk about these things with me. Is there still a lack of such things in the academy? Why haven't I seen you stop it? Now that you're here with Li Wei, you want to punish him. What benefits has this damned fatty given you?!" Owen pointed at the City Lord and asked coldly.
"Owen, you're insulting me. I'm wholeheartedly dedicated to the academy and you said that I accepted a gift?" Bill quickly denied it.
"Alright then. If you and that fatty want to expel my student today, I guarantee that the two of you won't have a comfortable life in the future!" Owen said as he mustered up his fighting spirit.
Clayderman was a little nervous when he saw this scene. He was a person who abides by the rules. He had called Owen over to solve the problem. However, he did not expect Owen to come and blow up the matter instead.
Although Clayderman knew this junior brother's temper very well, he did not expect this fellow to be so hot-tempered.
"Alright, the two of you stop quarreling. We're here to solve the problem, not to fight." To not lose control of the situation, Clayderman quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Alright, Clayderman, you're a fair person. Tell me, should I expel this kind of student?" Bill saw that someone had stepped forward to smooth things over. He did not want to continue the conversation with the unreasonable Owen.
Li Wei did not say anything. Owen and Clayderman were Wei Nuo's students, so they definitely would not let him suffer a loss.
"I don't think Li Wei is wrong. The academy forbids gambling but it doesn't say that students aren't allowed to add to the stakes during the competition," Clayderman said slowly.
"These two teachers, it's best that you don't get involved in this matter. After all, I'm also the City Lord, if..." The fat City Lord saw that someone was being soft, so he revealed his identity.
Owen, who was originally suppressed by Clayderman, could not suppress his anger when he heard the threat.
"Fatty, let's not talk about you today. Even if the king comes, it'd be useless."
"Mr. City Lord, if you have the time to make a scene here in the academy, you might as well go back and discipline your child properly. I will not meddle in Owen's matters here. I'll leave it to you."
A good-natured person like Clayderman could not stand the City Lord anymore. Clayderman, who originally wanted to save face for the other party, did not think so at this moment. After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Alright, I've been the City Lord for so long and no one dares to speak to me like this!" the fat City Lord said somewhat angrily.
"Then, it can only mean that you're just looking at the sky from a well!" Owen said indifferently.
"Owen, you..."
"What do you mean? Let me tell you, unless the Dean returns, no one can expel me and even the Dean can't expel Li Wei! Don't try to touch my bottom line or you'll understand what cruelty is." Owen interrupted Bill's words.
Then, he waved his hand and condensed a long sword made of battle spirit, slashing toward the wall behind Bill.
Then, a shocking scene appeared. The combat aura passed through the wall and appeared outside, cutting through the clouds in the sky.
"Remember, come back next time after you know who you have provoked," Owen said and left with Li Wei.
After Owen left, the fat City Lord stuttered and asked the Vice Dean, "Who... Who is this person?"
The Vice Dean was also dumbfounded. He only knew that Owen was a magician and his realm was about the same as his. That was why he dared to say that he would fight with Owen. However, he did not expect Owen to have such a terrifying battle spirit cultivation.
"I don't know either. He's a teacher specially hired by the Dean. I don't know his origin either," the Vice Dean said hesitantly.
"Mr. Bill, don't worry. I'll deliver the Beamon toe bone soon. I hope this matter won't affect our friendship."
"Forget it. Since the matter hasn't been settled, how can I have the face to receive your gifts again?"
...
Just as the two people in the office were trying to shirk from each other, Owen had already pulled Li Wei out of the academy.
"Little Li Wei, do I look cool just now? I slashed the sky with my sword. Am I awesome?" Without any outsiders, Owen instantly returned to his cynical look.
"Thank you." Li Wei knew that Owen was protecting him. Otherwise, he would definitely have been kicked out of the academy today.
"Aiya, Li Wei actually thanked me. The child has finally grown up, and he even said thank you to his teacher." Owen had an exaggerated look on his face.
"Forget it, forget it." When Li Wei saw the indecent Owen, the emotions in his heart instantly disappeared.
"Alright, let's get down to business. This time, our destination is the Holy Knight Village. Their neighboring villages have already been massacred by wolf bandits.
"Right now, the Holy Knight Village is only relying on a few knights to hold on. This mission has to be fast or else the Holy Knight Village might also be massacred.
"You have to be careful. I won't help you this time, so even the slightest mistake will cost you your life," Owen changed from his previous cynicism and said with a serious face.
"No way, I'm only an intermediate knight. Do you want me to face those monsters that only high-level magicians can deal with?" Li Wei asked with a little fear.
"Although only high-level magicians can barely deal with those wolf bandits, you have to know that you're a magic knight. You have your own way of fighting and you can't measure yourself purely by your realm.
"You need to gradually understand your advantage in the battle. Go ahead and do it. If you die, I'll help you build a luxurious tombstone." Owen comforted Li Wei.
"Can you not say that? I'm still young. I don't have the intention of dying," Li Wei said helplessly.
"You must treat every battle as a life and death battle. Don't think of it as a fluke!" Owen said with a solemn face.
"I know, Teacher Owen." Li Wei did not care on the surface, but he secretly remembered it in his heart.
The teacher and student talked and laughed as they walked out of the city.
The Holy Knight Village was not too far from Langdon City. It was about the same distance from Vigil City to Langdon City. The two of them arrived at the Holy Knight Village when the sun was about to set.
At the entrance of the Holy Knight Village, there was a huge monument with the words "Holy Knight" written on it. There should be some words below it, but over time, they could not be seen clearly.
When the two of them stepped over the stone monument, there was a slash coming toward them.
