Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 945

"Who said I was acting?" Of course, Lucilla wouldn't admit it, because if she admitted that she was acting, Tod would catch her lying and use that against her.

"Shame on you! You seduce men all over! The man named Rookie is not a good person. He only wants you because he wants to curry favor with our Cao Clan and use our power to his advantage. It is pathetic that you still fell into his trap," Tod spat at her. He looked at her with disdain, as if she was a grain of sand that had entered his eyes, which he wanted to wash away immediately. The earlier situation had been great for him, but to his dismay, that young man named Rookie had to come and destroy the Qi Clan's plans.

"Well, what's the situation now, Tod? You know clearly what you have said in public just now. Do you want me to repeat it to Elder Xia?" Seeing that Tod was still making trouble, Lucas immediately looked at him with sharp eyes.

His threat melted Tod's fighting spirit and he shut up in an instant, backing off obediently.

"Regardless of what caused this matter, the most important thing right now is to protect the Cao Clan. What do you think?" Elder Xia said as he stroked his beard.

"I think we'd better agree to the Qi Clan's proposal first. Since Prince Geoffrey is willing to propose a marriage for the Qi Clan in person, it means that the Qi Clan has already sided with him. If we refuse Prince Geoffrey, it would look like we are going against him, and with the current power of the Qi Clan, they could easily take action against us. We will definitely suffer losses," Tod said immediately. The truth was he also hoped that Lucilla could marry into the Qi Clan so that he would have an excuse to force her to hand over her position to him.

"No! Once we agree to the Qi Clan's proposal, our clan will be undoubtedly be controlled by Prince Geoffrey and the Qi Clan." Lucas's face darkened at Tod's suggestion.

"Then what can you do to help us out, Master Lucas?" Tod asked with a sinister smile.

Hearing this, Lucas frowned. He also knew that if they refused Geoffrey, there would be serious consequences.

"It seems that we have to send for Prince Woods. Only he has the strength to fight against Prince Geoffrey in the Timber Deity Empire..." Lucilla suggested after thinking for a while.

"I'm afraid that Prince Woods would not dare to confront Prince Geoffrey face to face. Everybody knows that Prince Geoffrey is the most popular candidate of the emperor. If it weren't for Princess Alyssa, Prince Woods wouldn't have had the chance to compete for the throne at all." When Lucila heard Tod's answer, she felt like he had thrown cold water over her.

Lucas glanced at Tod shortly, before he turned to Elder Xia and said, "I agree. I think Prince Woods is the only hope."

"Then chief, let's send for Prince Woods first!" Elder Xia also had doubts if Prince Woods would step in for them, just like Tod, but he agreed that if Prince Woods was willing to stand up for the Cao Clan, their problems would be resolved. He decided that it would be easier to check with Prince Woods first and once he had a positive answer for them, that would be the time to make more plans.

Lucilla nodded and then ordered someone to go to Woods' mansion to report at once.

About one hour and thirty minutes later, the people that they sent came back and reported that Woods was not in the mansion, and they didn't know where he had gone.

The faces of the Cao Clan members fell.

"I think Prince Woods must be afraid of his brother Prince Geoffrey, so he has already run away to hide," Tod sneered.

"In this case, it seems that we have to agree to the marriage of the Qi Clan for the time being because if we go against Prince Geoffrey openly, it will put our Cao Clan in a disadvantageous situation. Besides, Tod is right. Prince Geoffrey is the best candidate for the emperor's successor. Therefore, if Prince Geoffrey can win the emperor's throne and we're on his side, it will be more beneficial to the future of our Cao Clan," Elder Xia said after careful consideration.

"No, I will never agree to marry anyone from the Qi Clan," Lucilla refused firmly.

"If you don't want to agree to this marriage, then you should give up your position as the chief of the clan. That way, any trouble that the Qi Clan brings to you will not affect the whole clan," Tod said insidiously.

"Elder Xia, I think we'd better think of another way. Even if Chief Lucilla agrees to marry into the Qi Clan, we can't solve the problem for good. It is a short-sighted solution because once we agree to this deal, the Cao Clan will fall into a passive position in the future, and that will be separate trouble on its own," Lucas suggested.
