Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 Why Should I Fear a Battle?

Lachlan drove the off-road vehicle at high speed, traveling between the foothills.

Although Miranda had said on the phone that if he couldn't make it back in time, Mason could just give up his power, Lachlan was taking a risk by leaving Hudpids Village.

But better safe than sorry!

Lachlan couldn't guarantee that after Mason announced joining the NC Organization at their underground meeting, they wouldn't turn against him or harm his father-in-law. So, taking risks himself instead of those around him seemed like a better option.

Perhaps Lachlan had always been an emotional creature who let feelings dominate over reason. This was evident from when he sold his kidney to save his daughter and even went as far as to provoke others into attacking him for compensation.

The vehicle sped up and quickly arrived at the outskirts of Hudpids Mountains. It was still a rarely visited place, but along the way, Lachlan encountered several waves of vehicles from other clans participating in the Clan Grand Competition. These people were also leaving Hudpids Village today and returning to their respective clans or sects.

However, at this moment, Lachlan's pupils contracted, and his expression changed. He saw a figure dressed in a green robe appear in the middle of the road about a hundred meters ahead of his car. A powerful aura locked onto his vehicle.

Lachlan inwardly sighed and thought that the expected trouble had indeed arrived. The information Hugo had revealed to him turned out to be true.

Taking a deep breath, he slowed down the car and parked it by the side of the road. Lachlan knew that even if he drove his car at the person standing there without moving, it would be impossible to kill the Golden Core expert.

After getting out of the car, he stood about twenty meters away from the person, looking coldly at the Elder of the Verdant Pine, a hidden elder of the Wood family.

"Are you here for me, sir?" Lachlan's starry eyes carried a hint of caution as he spoke in a deep voice.

The Elder of the Verdant Pine looked at Lachlan, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes. He didn't expect Lachlan to stop the car himself and come down willingly. Moreover, he remained so calm in the face of him. However, this only further aroused his killing intent.

He was already aware of Lachlan being a perfect Uppecia in the Clan Grand Competition. This guy had been restraining himself throughout the competition and finally burst out with extraordinary strength. And now, he was displaying such calmness.

Such extraordinary talent and a resilient character, if not eliminated, would become a great threat in the future.

"That's right! I'm here for you," the Elder of the Verdant Pine said with a smiling expression. "I heard that you are a genius with a perfect Uppecia, so I thought of giving you some advice and testing your strength."

Upon hearing this, Lachlan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir, but I don't think it's necessary, right? I have some matters to attend to and need to rush back. Next time, I would like to seek guidance from you."

The Elder of the Verdant Pine coldly snorted and said, "Impudent! I kindly offer you some guidance, and you have the audacity to disregard it! Next time? Do you think I have nothing better to do than wait for you to seek guidance? Enough nonsense, prepare to defend yourself! I want to see if you truly deserve the first place in the personal trial and if there's any trickery involved!"

As he spoke, a powerful aura surged from the Elder of the Verdant Pine's body, accompanied by a chilling killing intent that enveloped Lachlan.

Upon hearing this, Lachlan's face completely darkened. "Sir, are you trying to kill me?"

At this point, the Elder of the Verdant Pine no longer concealed his intentions, and a cold expression appeared on his face.

"So what if I am?" he replied.

"If you want to blame someone, blame the fact that you were born into the Graham family! Even if you're a genius, without anyone to protect you, you won't be able to grow!" he said with disdain.

"To snuff out a genius, it must be quite satisfying, isn't it?" Lachlan retorted.

You said you wanted to endure, so why didn't you endure until the end? It seems your character is lacking!" the Elder of the Verdant Pine sneered.

"Remember this for your next life, be submissive until you've fully grown! Tuck your tail between your legs!" he added.

Screech! Screech...

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of brakes, several cars also stopped around them. It was evident that they had noticed the situation and wanted to see what was going on.
