Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 389

Chapter 389 Success is Insufficient

The second assessment of defense finally came to an end around noon.

Lachlan unexpectedly emerged as the winner, like a dark horse, tying with two others for first place: Benjamin from Golden Blade Sect and Finn from the Wynter family.

Both Benjamin and Finn had also withstood attacks at the early stage of Core Formationt, just like Lachlan.

However, their strength was only at the early stage of Core Formationt and they did not attempt to exceed their level of difficulty.

As one progressed higher in levels, there was a huge difference in strength between each small realm. For example, someone at the mid-stage of Core Formationt could easily defeat ten people at the early stage without any problem! Therefore, Benjamin and Finn did not dare to try exceeding their level even though they could handle it because it was not worth risking injury for just a qualification test representing their families. There was still an individual ranking trial waiting for them later.

Savannah, Arlo and Theodore from Great Origin Sect all chose Uppecia's peak difficulty level which put them all tied for second place.

Because they still had the speed, reflex, and endurance assessment in the afternoon, everyone was temporarily arranged to rest at the entrance of the Hudpids Sect.

At the same time, the rules for the individual ranking trial were distributed to each person.

In a courtyard at noon...

The members of the Wood family, including the hidden elder of the Wood family, had unpleasant expressions. Hugo was sitting there, holding his brother Jackson's body, a look of sadness and anger on his face as he occasionally wiped away his tears.

"Worthless!"

The elder in the green robe coldly glanced at Hugo and Jackson's bodies, snorting disdainfully.

Patrick forced a bitter smile on his face and said, "Elder of the Verdant Pine, we didn't expect that Landon would pretend to be weak and have such insane defensive abilities."

"It seems that the Graham family will once again be fortunate enough to retain their prestigious status. To try and eliminate them, who knows how long we'll have to wait."

The Elder of the Verdant Pine spoke with a resentful expression.

At this moment, Patrick's eyes flickered, and a cunning look appeared on his face.

"We have another plan! But when the time comes, you will have to navigate among the five hidden powers a bit!"

As Patrick spoke, he recounted the conspiracy between him and Hugo at the Vleah City hotel.

After listening, the Elder of the Verdant Pine raised an eyebrow and a cold smile appeared on his face. "Oh? You still have that card? If it's true, then we can make it work. If the two participants from the Graham family have truly engaged in some unsightly actions and you have recorded evidence of it, then it's easy. I will have the judges use the excuse of tarnishing the cultivation world's reputation to disqualify Callum and Landon!"

Upon hearing this, Patrick laughed and turned to Hugo.

"Hugo, stop dwelling in sorrow for now! Bring out the recording you made!"

However, Hugo's face turned red upon hearing this, and he stammered, "Grandpa, wh-what recording?"

"Didn't you and your brother use the Forgetfulness Elixir to confuse Callum and Landon before? Hurry up and hand it over! Elder of the Verdant Pine can use it as an excuse to disqualify the two participants from the Graham family!"

Patrick glared at Hugo and said impatiently.

He thought to himself that this guy must be so grief-stricken over his brother's death that his brain wasn't functioning properly.

But as soon as the words fell, Hugo lowered his head embarrassingly and said, "We... we failed! We couldn't succeed, and Landon found out..."

Upon hearing this, Patrick's expression changed, and he slapped Hugo across the face.

"You worthless fool!"

"You and your brother, both of you are fucking worthless! What else can you two do?"

The Elder of the Verdant Pine from the hidden Wood family also snorted coldly, saying, "You have more failures than accomplishments!"

Hugo was slapped and flew out, rolling on the ground a few times.

After getting up, blood was flowing from his mouth and nose, his face filled with sadness and anger as he held his face.
