The crowd looked at her, confused and unaware of what could have caused such terror.

Soon, several other girls received calls on their phones, all from their teachers.

As they heard their teachers' words, their faces turned deathly pale, and two of them, unable to bear the immense pressure, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Why is this happening? Why?"

"Who exactly is Nancy? Why is she so powerful?"

Smith watched them, lost and no longer pleading, and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

"You were so capable, weren't you? Saying Charlie was weak. Now, he's shown you in his own way whether he's weak or not!"

This...

How is this even remotely weak?

With his power alone, he had cut off all their teachers' paths. Weak?

Good heavens...

Who exactly had they provoked?

For a moment, the corridor was filled with a sense of despair. Each girl looked ashen-faced, realizing that in driving Nancy away, they had ruined not only their own futures but also those of their teachers.

...

In the hotel, Linda had already brought over her luggage. Watching Nancy and Charlie pack together, she couldn’t help feeling envious.

People often say that the wealthier and more powerful a man is, the less he cares about women.

But why was Charlie so good to Nancy?

Even for something as simple as packing, he did it with Nancy, and they seemed as sweet as a couple in love.

Andrew Lesser and Patrick Hastings had no mood to watch their affection. Andrew, with a serious face, asked, "Nan, are you really leaving the training camp so resolutely?"

Nancy put clothes in her suitcase and turned to him, "Teacher, it’s not that I'm being petty, but I find it a waste of time to be with a bunch of immature people. I have many things to do and don’t want to waste my time on this."

Patrick shook his head, "But Nan, to establish yourself in the piano world, you must participate in the training camp. It’s been a rule for decades…"

"Rules are dead, but people are alive."

Charlie put down the clothes he was holding and turned to them, "Nan shone brightly in the public competition and has already been recognized by the piano world. Plus, Zach said before he left that he wants to invite Nan to more prestigious concerts in the future, and Parmelo also intends to. So even if Nan leaves the training camp, it won’t affect her future career."

At that moment, Nancy looked apologetically at Andrew, "Master, actually, piano is just one of my hobbies. I'll keep up my practice, but I don’t want piano to be my only career. I'm sorry."

Andrew’s pupils dilated, and he suddenly realized.

He knew about Nancy's dual degrees and how talented she was in those fields. Indeed, for someone as intelligent as Nancy, focusing all her energy on the piano would be an underutilization of her abilities.

Feeling no displeasure, he nodded with satisfaction, "Good, as long as you know your own path. As your Master, I won't force you to do anything."

Just then, the doorbell suddenly started ringing noisily...
