Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 938 The Unexpected Kiss

Of course, it was just an illusion that Tate did on purpose. It was because he wanted to ruin Lucilla'sreputation by any means necessary. Now, in his mind, to protect the Cao Clan, she would be forcedto agree to his proposal, and at last, the two clans would be united through their marriage.

Of course, the Qi Clan had done this to help Geoffrey deal with the Cao Clan, who could causetrouble to him if they chose to support Woods. Also, Tate had done it because this was his long-cherished wish for many years, and that was to have Lucilla as his bride.

The Qi Clan's plan aimed to kill two birds with one stone, and they had caught the Cao Clan offguard, because they never imagined that the Qi Clan would be willing to sacrifice their reputationjust to drag Lucilla down.

But for the Qi Clan, they viewed it as a worthy sacrifice, for they were willing to let go of theirreputation as long as their plan succeeded. Once the two clans were united by marriage, the Qi Clanwould take advantage of the situation and they would reign supreme with their combined power. Bythat time, even if the Cao Clan wanted to support Woods, they would be restrained and unable todo anything.

Lucilla was shocked when she heard Tate's words because she never thought that he would divorcehis wife because of her. In the back of her mind, she was sure that it was just an excuse, and what hereally wanted to do was drag her through the mud. From the current situation, it was obvious thatTate had succeeded.

Lucas's face contorted in anger and frustration. He was caught off guard by the Qi Clan's cruel plot,and he hated that he could do nothing to help Lucilla. The most troublesome thing about the wholemess was that Tate had divorced his wife because of Lucilla. In the end, the one who would becomethe target of public criticism was not Tate, but Lucilla.

"Chief Lucilla, Tate loves you so much that even I can't stop him. However, he doesn't have anyfeelings for his wife. He still loves you so much despite all the years that have passed, so I took theliberty to come here with him. I hope you can agree to the marriage so that the Qi Clan and the CaoClan can also take this opportunity to unite again and fulfill your father's wish many years ago.”Seeing that the opportunity was mature, Alexander immediately put forward his suggestion. It wassupposed to be a scandal, but it was turned into a good thing after his few words. The old sayingthat "the elders turn out to be wiser" was proven right in this instance.

What Alexander said also caused a commotion among the people present because once the twoclans joined hands, no clan in the Timber Deity Empire would be a match for them. Moreover, if anyprince could get the support of the two clans, he would definitely take over the throne.

Right on cue, Rocky's figure appeared in one corner of the Magnificent Hall silently. Perhapsbecause everyone's attention was on Lucilla and Tate, no one noticed his appearance. Of course,Rocky had hidden his figure on purpose.

Not long ago, he had just completed a part of the genetic modification experiments. That day, heplanned to send a gift to Lucilla. However, as soon as he approached the hall, he heard the disciplesof the Cao Clan that were tasked to guard outside the hall discussing feverishly. After inquiringthem, he finally understood what had happened. Therefore, he hid his aura and entered the hallstealthily.

When he was at the hall and saw what was happening himself, his eyes narrowed and a look ofcontemplation appeared on his face.

At that moment, Lucilla's body was trembling badly. She glared at Tate fiercely, but the latter lookedcalm and steady in the face of her anger, a sinister smile painted on his face.

"Chief Alexander and Tate, please leave our mansion now! Just forget what you said. But our CaoClan would not just sit still if you continued to say such outrageous things and act recklessly. Afterall, our reputation is also at stake here!" At last, Lucilla had to ask them to leave. Although shewanted to rush forward and slap Tate on the face, the most important thing right now was to remaincalm and clarify the wrong conclusions that were undoubtedly in the people's minds.

"Lucilla, if you don't promise me to be engaged with me, I won't leave today. I even divorced mywife for you. Was that not enough to prove my feelings for you?” Tate continued to pretend to beobsessed with her.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

"What a disgraceful woman you are! As our chief, how could you seduce a married man, and heeven made a scene in public. What a shame!” At that moment, a low voice suddenly sounded fromthe back of the hall.

The people in the Magnificent Hall immediately turned their heads and saw two figures that seemedto have just arrived. The two figures were Lucilla's uncles, Tod and Freddy.

"Uncle Tod and Uncle Freddy..." Lucilla frowned at the sight of the two because she knew that thetwo would take the opportunity to stir up trouble for her.

Sure enough, after Tod came in, he looked around the crowd and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Thisshould be our family affairs, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I'm sorry!"

"Uncle Tod, I will handle it myself. You don't have to get involved!" Lucilla was worried that he wouldtake this opportunity to cast a shadow on her role as chief, so she stopped him at once.

"You say that you will handle it, but how will you do that? He divorced his wife for you. It is a shamethat the chief of our clan is a brazen woman like you, who seduces men everywhere. And you evenseduced a man from the Qi Clan. How are we supposed to trust that you are working for the goodof the clan? Maybe you are working in the interest of the opponents at the expense of our own!"Tod scolded with a serious face as if he was truly worried about the clan and not just his owninterest.

"That's right. No wonder our clan has been trampled underfoot by the Qi Clan for so many years. Itturns out that someone was betraying our clan..." Freddy hinted deliberately.

Their words also shocked everyone in the hall, because they didn't expect that the Cao Clan wouldhave an internal conflict in this situation.

As expected, Alexander and Tate also had a smug smile on their faces.

Lucilla's face turned livid with rage. If the two uncles continued to air their dirty laundry so publicly,she would probably be the most talked-about woman tomorrow in the whole Timber Deity Empire.Most importantly, she could be impeached as the chief of her clan by this time tomorrow.

"Tod, Freddy, it's just a plot of the Qi Clan. If you keep acting like this, you will only fall into theirtrap." Lucas's face was red and contorted in anger, as he shouted at Tod and Freddy.

"Master Lucas, you are wrong. Tate loved Chief Lucilla very much. Otherwise, how could he divorcehis wife? And am I the kind of person who shows off the scandal of my own family?" Alexander saidinnocently.

"You don't have to say anything more. My dear niece, if you want to prove your innocence, you haveto resign as the chief of our clan today. If this matter spreads out, our Cao clan will be draggedthrough the mud together with you,” Tod said without hesitation.

"No way!" Lucilla glared darkly at her opportunistic scum of an uncle.

"If you insist on this, then I will have no choice but to invite some elders here,” Tod addedimmediately.

She could only remain silent with gritted teeth because she knew that if Tod invited all the eldersout, they would probably make her resign before they clarified the issue. But if that happened, Todand Freddy would take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, and then the Cao Can wouldnever have a peaceful day!

The same things were running through Lucas's mind, but he couldn't think of any solution for thetime being.

"Lucilla, if you agree to my proposal, everything will be easier for you," Tate insisted once againbecause he knew that she was not willing to hand over the chief position. Therefore, if she wantedto keep her position as the chief, she must agree to his proposal, and his ultimate goal would beachieved.

But to everyone's surprise, a figure suddenly jumped out of the shadows and landed by Lucilla'sside. Then, under the watchful eyes of the public, he lifted Lucilla's chin lightly with his finger, pulledher closer, and pressed his lips against hers...
