Chapter 862 Don't Let Him Down

However, Tod was secretly glad that Lucilla hadn't been prepared for the Qi Clan's tricks in the critical battle. Unless something unexpected happened, the Cao Clan would definitely lose this competition, putting them in a tough spot.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Freddy noticed that the participant the Cao Clan was sending on stage was Juey, of all people. "What? Isn't that Miss Juey of the Xiao Clan? Why is she being sent on stage? From what I heard, she doesn't know any Beast Curing Skill. Aren't you just sending her to her death? Lucilla, even though you are the chief of the Cao Clan, you don't seem to be worried about our clan at all. You've just set us up for failure by sending a girl who doesn't know the Beast Curing Skill at such a critical moment!" he exclaimed aggressively.

Lucilla's face darkened with a hint of embarrassment, but she had no words to offer in response since she had just blindly trusted Rocky without knowing his plan. She couldn't tell them the truth, either, because her uncles would use it as an excuse to ridicule her and take away her post as chief of the Cao Clan.

"Lucilla, what do you have to say for yourself? If you don't give us an explanation, we won't let you go. If the Cao Clan loses the Beast Master Contest this time, you better retire from your position as chief. Otherwise, we will have to invite all the elders of the clan and tell them what happened. That will just cause embarrassment to everyone involved," Tod sneered, trying to drive Lucilla into a corner so that she would give up her position.

"Uncle, why are you being so unreasonable?" Lucilla gave Tod an exasperated stare.

"Lucilla, we're not the ones being unreasonable. You should take responsibility for failing the Cao Clan!" Tod rebuked.

"Tod, this is not the time or place for this conversation. We can talk about it after the Beast Master Contest," Lucas interje

had developed an indescribable trust in this young man. Usually, he would never trust an outsider easily. After all, he didn't know where Rocky had come from. However, he couldn't help but think that Rocky was a good lad.

Just then, a cry of surprise came from the crowd. A sharp, strange blade suddenly appeared in Juey's hand and directly cut open the body of the spirit-manipulated beast that had been fed with anesthetic on the table in front of her, splashing blood everywhere.

The stark contrast of a delicate girl cutting a beast like a butcher in full view of the public made everyone squirm in their seats.

Even the people of the Cao Clan blanched in shock. What Juey was doing looked more like murder than treatment.

"What the hell is she up to? Since the Cao Clan was already going to lose miserably, did you just want to make things worse?" Tod asked while looking scornfully at Lucilla.

Lucilla ignored him and shot a surprised glance at Rocky.

"Mr. Rookie, what do you think Miss Juey is doing?" Lucas couldn't help but ask Rocky.

All the people of the Cao Clan turned to look expectantly at Rocky. Since he was the one who had insisted on sending her on stage, he was the only one who might be able to explain what she was doing now.
