Rowen presses the button on the bracelet again, he appears in the cabin and the huge body of the iron armored beast also appears in front of everyone.

Agatha feels excited as if a precious jewel has fallen into her hands. She taps and touches here and there, sometimes she puts her ear to it and listens.

After about ten minutes or so, Rowen’s patience has finally run out. He turns the iron armored beast back into a bracelet, saying to Agatha, “Miss Ryan, you’ve been watching it for so long, that’s enough, isn’t it?”

“Nonsense, I just watched it for a little while!” Says Agatha defensively. “I want to keep watching for a while. Let it come out!”

“Agatha!” Philip’s voice comes at this moment. “You’d better take the last test first, we’re all waiting for the results, and if you really want to see Rowen’s summoning beast, you can get another chance.”

“All right!” Agatha is obviously reluctant, but she knows she could not keep so many people waiting.

The onlookers have been already whispering in private. They think her marriage has been already decided and nothing could be changed. However, because of Rowen, the situation has been subtly changed. Those people, especially those family members who are familiar with Agatha, have found that Agatha is obviously interested in the guy who has just shown up. If nothing goes wrong, there will be a black horse today.

Jeff of the Hawker Family doesn’t look good at the moment. Originally, he is the only one who passed the three tests successfully, so logically speaking, he should be Agatha’s husband. But now, that guy whom nobody knows has also passed the previous two tests successfully. The third one is to answer Agatha’s question, and in Jeff’s opinion, that is not so hard to do, which means this guy named Rowen, all of a sudden, becomes his biggest rival.

“Why do you want to marry me?” Agatha is now asking the same question as before.

“I just obey my patriarch’s command,” says Rowen indifferently.

All people are in uproar. Is this guy too stupid? Even if it is true, he can’t say it directly!

Jeff suddenly becomes elated. This guy is a fool, all right, no threat to me. He thinks.

“Isn’t he too honest?” Bania feels a little bit embarrassed.

Patriarch Brain has a helpless look on his face, but he knows that Rowen is such a man like that. It would be too hard for him to lie in order to please Agatha.

“So you don’t want to marry me?” Agatha’s voice is distinctly unhappy.

“No,” Rowen shakes his head, “I’d never heard of you before I came here, and I never have a bad impression of you, so how could you say I don’t want to marry you?”

“Well, answer me, do you think I’m pretty?” asks Agatha again.

“I don’t know,” says Rowen calmly. “I’ve never met you before, Miss Ryan.”

“Hey, can’t you say something nice?” Agatha is a little irritated.

“Miss Ryan, I’m just telling the truth. I don’t want to lie to you,” says Rowen.

“You’re really incorrigible!” says Agatha angrily, “Well, one last question, would you still want to marry me if I’m not a member of the Ryans?”

“No,” Rowen is more forthright this time.

Once again there is an uproar. Bania is already covering his face with his hands. Patriarch Brian is shaking his head. By contrast, Jeff is the happiest person here.

“You!” Agatha is getting extremely furious, “You piss me off!”

“I’m sorry, Miss Ryan, I don’t mean to annoy you. I just don’t want to cheat you.” Rowen calmly looks at Agatha. He could have said something as disgusting and hypocritical as Jeff, but he finds himself unable to say it because it doesn’t accord with his principle of being a man.

“Then say something nice now, say Miss Ryan is pretty, say you want to marry me, and I’ll marry you right away!” says Agatha angrily.

“What?” Rowen is stunned. He has not expected Agatha would say this suddenly. Not only is he surprised, but everyone else is as well.

Jeff cannot hold back any longer, he said hastily, “Miss Ryan, you can’t be so hasty!”

“None of your business!” Agatha looks at Jeff unpleasantly, then turns to Rowen, “Say it, you say it, then I’ll marry you!”

For a moment, Rowen indeed wants to change his mind. He looks round at Patriarch Brain, and he knows that Patriarch wants him to marry Agatha.

Rowen takes a deep breath and shakes his head slightly. “Miss Ryan, I don’t believe you want to marry someone who contradicts himself in word and deed. Maybe, someday I’ll say you’re pretty, but not now.”

“What a stubborn man he is!” The head of the Ryan Family, Patriarch Philip, stands far away, couldn’t help shaking his head, but then he turns out to praise him, “Rowen is indeed a member of the Wolf Family.”

Jeff feels relieved again, and for a moment he wants to come forwards to hug Rowen because he thinks that Rowen has actually given Agatha up to him.

“Grandpa, I’ve made up my mind.” Agatha turns to Philip.

Philip nods slightly and walks to Agatha. Though the future husband is decided by Agatha, but at last it is Philip who would announce the name of this lucky man.

Agatha whispers a name in Patriarch Philip’s ear, and Philip nods with a surprised look on his face.

“Thank all of you who have come to the Ryan Villa. I am pleased to tell you that Agatha has finally chosen her husband, and now I am going to announce the name, the lucky man is…”

Patriarch Philip drawls, and his eyes glance over Jeff and the other ten people. He finally fixes his eyes on Rowen, then says a name clearly, “Rowen, Rowen Wolf from the Wolf Family!”

All present are in silent. This, this is so unexpected!

Even Patriarch Brain and Bania both forget to cheer at this moment, because what Rowen did at last makes it hard for them to believe that Agatha would choose him in the end.

“How, how is that possible?” Jeff is the first to question, “Miss Ryan, do you really choose him to be your husband?”

“Nonsense, am I talking for fun?” Agatha retorts, and it seems that she is very unhappy now.

“Miss Ryan, it’s not fair. I did better than he did!” Anger is sensed in Jeff’s voice.

“You’re wrong, he’s much better than you.” Agatha snorts. “After all, I’ve made my decision and won’t change it again!”

“Do you Ryan Family fool us this way? The man called Rowen has somehow come here and somehow become Miss Ryan’s husband, is he the man you’ve already chosen in advance?” Jeff snorts. “Miss Ryan, if that’s the way you fool everyone, I’m sure everyone won’t agree.”

“Hey, is there anything wrong with you?” Apparently, Agatha is in a bad mood, “You think you’re doing well? Well, let me tell you how you deserve the failure.”

Agatha pauses for a moment and says quickly, “In the first round, I only used less than half my strength, but you almost got out of the circle. And if you hadn’t stuck your sword into the ground, you wouldn’t have been able to pass the first test. However, when I fought against Rowen, I used more than half my strength, but he and his summoning beast barely moved!”

“Miss Ryan, you know exactly how much strength you used,” Jeff is clearly not satisfied with this explanation.

“Hum, in the second round, you bring that damn flower as your casting materials, let me tell you, I never like flowers, and I also never use that thing as my casting materials, but the metal on Rowen’s summoning beast is something I have never seen before. If it is used for casting swords or armors, that will be more powerful than the weapons I have made before. Even if you too pass the second test, in my opinion, he achieves it by his competence and you by your trick.”

“Miss Ryan, you are still an authority in this respect. You may say what you like.” Although Jeff is not confident at all, he is still reluctant to admit his failure.

“All right, let’s talk about the third round. I have told you earlier that you’d better tell the truth, but you tell lies. You say you always have affection for me?” says Agatha with a sneer, “I know very well that you have a girl friend at the Royal Knight College. Shall I give you her name?”

“That…” Jeff’s face changes slightly. “Miss Ryan, that’s just the past.”
