Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 866 Throwing In The Towel

However, since Tate performed the Beast-through Radiance Curing Skill, the result of the battleseemed to have already been fixed. Though it was only a short time since Juey learned surgery fromRocky, she had performed impressively in the contest. On the other hand, Tate had been trained onthe Beast Curing Skill since childhood. With this, it was understandable that he had the competenceand ability of more than an average beast curer. Needless to say, he was not at the same level as theother beast curers who participated in the Beast Master Contest, including Juey.

In only half an hour, Tate had managed to beat Juey. Diagnosing and treating with utmost speed,Tate surely left the audience in awe. What was more amazing about him was that he didn't even usehis full strength! No wonder it was a piece of cake for him to win over Juey.

Meanwhile, as Juey tasted defeat, she could not help but feel a little depressed. As the match ended,she returned to the waiting area of the Cao Clan with a guilty face.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I saw you there, and I think that you've done a good job." Lucilla walkedup to her and gave her a pat on the arm in an attempt to comfort her.

Hearing this, all the people of the Cao Clan who were there nodded in agreement. They knew if itweren't for Juey, the whole clan would replace it difficult to force Tate to go onto the stage and displayhis incredible strength.

At that moment, the Cao Clan had to face a very brutal reality. Although they were still qualified tofight again, they could not replace and send any beast curer that was on par with Tate's abilities. Plus,they really could not count on Yang any longer. On the other hand, Mary's strength was not asstrong as Juey's; thus the clan could not rely on her, either.

But if the Cao Clan would not be able to send someone to represent them, then that would meanthat they had already given up. In other words, the Qi Clan would claim the victory.

Meanwhile, the entire Cao Clan was in a quandary on how they could save themselves from a brutalloss.

Lucilla knew how to solve problems well under pressure. But at that moment, she could not seem tomake up her mind. As a result, she asked Lucas for his thoughts about the matter.

"I guess we have no other choice but to send Miss Mary to join the competition. We all know thatshe is definitely not a match for her opponent. But even so, we have to do this. We are the Cao Clan,and we don't just give up," Lucilla suggested. Lucas, however, heaved a sigh, after weighing thingsout.

"There's no need to send anyone over. That will only be a disgrace to us Cao Clans obvious defeat!Preserve what pride you have left and just throw in the towel!” scorned Freddy. Obviously, hethought that the Cao Clan would surely lose.

Upon hearing Freddy's words, Tod couldn't help but smile deviously, too.

Meanwhile, just when the Cao Clan was busy dealing with their problem, Tate unexpectedly ranaway from the competition area and walked towards the waiting area of the Cao Clan.

"Lucilla, just admit it. You have been defeated! No one in your clan can match my prowess! Youshould know by now who my master is. However, I have to give it to you. The Cao Clan is fairlypowerful. I mean, you even made me participate in this competition personally... " Tate said withdignity upon entering the waiting area. Initially, he had not planned to expose his true power ofBeast Curing Skill just yet. But because of Juey's unpredictable performance, he had to go straightout and demolish the Cao Clan himself.

But as a reply, Lucilla raised her head and scowled at Tate. At that moment, she realized what he hadmeant in that bamboo grove that day. From the very start, it seemed that the Cao Clan had neverbeen able to escape from the wretched doings of the Qi Clan

"If you lose this time, the Cao Clan will completely fall under our control. Soon after, the small clansaffiliated to you will also have no other choice but to join us. By then, the Cao Clan's power willdefinitely sink..." Tate concluded with firm resolution.

"That's none of your business. You're not welcome here. Get out of here. Scram!" Lucilla shouted asshe glared at him. There was no denying that Tate did that to distract and shake the Cao Clan's spiritin the competition.

"Lucilla, for the sake of our previous friendship, admit defeat. As long as you voluntarily admitdefeat and are willing to follow the Qi Clan's lead, I assure you that your clan will not suffer a greatfall, at least. But of course, before I can make that happen, there is another condition—you must bemy woman... " declared Tate as he proposed a very vicious and tricky scheme. As a matter of fact, hehad been obsessed with Lucilla for years. Unfortunately for him, both of their clans hated each otherso much, that Lucilla had a deep-seated loathing for him. Nonetheless, that did not stop him fromgetting her. In his mind, he believed that once he got Lucilla's heart, he could also obtain the CaoClan's power. By then, the Qi Clan would surely become the most powerful clan in the country.

"No fucking way! How dare you!" Suddenly, Tate heard Lucilla's very angry reply towards hisproposal.

"You are nothing but a toad trying to swallow a swan! How dare you desire my sister..." Queeniesneered.

At that moment, all the other Cao Clan members also expressed their fury over his cocky behavior.On the other hand, Rocky was the only one who was calm amidst Tate's smug attitude. He gazed atLucilla and Tate absentmindedly, as if he was lost in his thought.

"Think about it again! This is the last opportunity for the Cao Clan to keep your dignity!" Tatemuttered spitefully. In fact, he was sure to show the Cao Clan no mercy if Lucilla dared deny hisrequest.

Meanwhile, Lucilla gritted her teeth, for she knew that there was no way that he was just bluffing.The Qi Clan's primary intention was to replace the Cao Clan and become the most powerful clan inthe Timber Deity Empire. Therefore, to make this happen, the Qi Clan had to suppress the Cao Clanand hinder its recovery. Moreover, if the Cao Clan lost the Beast Master Contest, then the Qi Clanwould have the opportunity to do everything beyond their imagination to repress the Cao Clan."You bastard...” yelled Queenie. At that moment, she was about to burst in anger. She could nolonger contain her rage anymore that she wanted to teach Tate a lesson. But all of a sudden, a figurewalked up to Lucilla and said, "My dear Lucilla, how could you love such a man with this self-esteem? You shouldn't have such a bad taste.”

Seeing this figure gave Tate and the members of the Cao Clan quite a shock. This was because theperson who addressed Lucilla affectionately was no other than Rocky.

Just like everyone else, Lucilla was also caught off guard. However, when she turned to look atRocky, she noticed the calmness and confidence flashing in his eyes, which made her feel secured.After shaking things off, she responded subconsciously, "He always harasses me. I won't accept aman like him even for free, over my dead body! There is no way he can compete with you...""Really? Then this is only happening because of your incomparable beauty and charm, my dearLucilla!" As he spoke, he stretched out one hand and wrapped it around Lucilla's waist. Soon after,he raised her chin ambiguously with his other hand.

"You..." said Lucilla shyly as she blushed. For a moment, she didn't know what to do, nor did sheeven resist Rocky's actions toward her. At that moment, she let Rocky take the lead and do whateverhe wanted with her. Lucilla felt that she was in a trance, as if she could not take her eyes off him outof sheer attraction.
