Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 514

Chapter 514 Let Us Know What Pain Feels Like?

Although Erik knew he was unlikely to win, he still wanted to try his best.

At least he wanted to show a strong and determined attitude, hoping that they would have some reservations.

Erik was unsure of Lachlan's exact strength, but he was definitely above Grandmaster level. And Emmett was also a Grandmaster-level expert! If they really fought, even if there were heavy casualties on their side, Anders had to consider whether or not it would be worth it for him to harm the enemy and hurt himself in the process.

So at this moment, Erik looked towards Lachlan and Emmett with a probing and questioning gaze.

Henry and others also looked at Lachlan and Emmett's reactions.

Facing Erik's gaze, Lachlan hesitated for a moment and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Ward, let them give us the hostages, and you can hand over the key. For now, let's not consider anything else!"

Upon hearing this, Erik, Henry, Emmett, and everyone on their side couldn't help but be stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. The members of the Ward family in Iylonio showed a smug smile and bursts of triumphant laughter.

"Erik, did you hear that? This young man by your side knows how to seize the opportunity!" Anders said with a smug grin.

"... Handsome boy, you're quite wise," mocked the enchanting woman from the Mountshifters with a few chuckles.

Erik's expression turned dark, his gaze at Lachlan flickering uncertainly, even mixed with a hint of suspicion. In his eyes, Lachlan was his last reliance, and he had even higher expectations for him than Emmett.

However, he didn't expect Lachlan to advise him to compromise directly, without even fighting for their side.

"Mr. Willis, what do you mean by this?" Henry directly questioned, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction and blame.

"What I mean is, give them the key, and let's not consider anything else for now!" Lachlan said, looking at the somewhat unpleasant expressions of the people, then added, "The underground tomb may not necessarily hold a treasure. It might have something else..."

"Hmph! Erik, is the ally you found? Who besides me would genuinely help you? The smooth-talking person, regardless of his strength, has unreliable character! He compromises as soon as he sees the opponent has more experts?" Emmett coldly snorted, interrupting Lachlan's words, speaking with anger and disdain.

Lachlan frowned, wanting to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words. It was useless to say more to them now.

"Emmett, you really are a stubborn old man! What? Lachlan here has lost his nerve, and you still want to stand up for Erik, even at the cost of your life?" Edward sneered coldly at this moment.

With those words, Emmett's eyes widened in anger, and he took a step forward, shouting, "If you truly push things to the limit, I will make you pay the price today. Erik's request is not unreasonable. The treasures inside this underground tomb should rightfully have a share that belongs to him. If you refuse, even if I die here today, I will skin you and make you feel pain. You better think it through!"

As he spoke, the old friend of Erik's emitted a powerful aura befitting a Grandmaster-level expert. However, the members of the Ward family all wore mocking and disdainful expressions.

In the next moment, Joseph snorted coldly, stomped his foot, and charged directly towards Emmett. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of him and threw a punch.

Emmett's face changed, and he quickly raised his arm to block. However, accompanied by a muffled sound, Emmett's body was sent flying. When he landed, he spewed out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with sorrow, anger, and shock.

"Hmph! Do you think you can make us feel pain? Do you have the strength for that?" Joseph coldly sneered at Emmett, his tone full of disdain and contempt.

"You..." Emmett's face turned red, a mixture of shock and anger, and a sense of powerlessness surged within him.

At this moment, Erik quickly walked over and helped Emmett up, saying, "Emmett... let it go...!" He then glanced in Lachlan's direction, shook his head with a touch of melancholy. In the next moment, he took out a quaint, palm-sized copper key from his body.
