However, since Tate performed the Beast-through Radiance Curing Skill, the result of the battle seemed to have already been fixed. Though it was only a short time since Juey learned surgery from Rocky, she had performed impressively in the contest. On the other hand, Tate had been trained on the Beast Curing Skill since childhood. With this, it was understandable that he had the competence and ability of more than an average beast curer. Needless to say, he was not at the same level as the other beast curers who participated in the Beast Master Contest, including Juey.
In only half an hour, Tate had managed to beat Juey. Diagnosing and treating with utmost speed, Tate surely left the audience in awe. What was more amazing about him was that he didn't even use his full strength! No wonder it was a piece of cake for him to win over Juey.
Meanwhile, as Juey tasted defeat, she could not help but feel a little depressed. As the match ended, she returned to the waiting area of the Cao Clan with a guilty face.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I saw you there, and I think that you've done a good job." Lucilla walked up to her and gave her a pat on the arm in an attempt to comfort her.
Hearing this, all the people of the Cao Clan who were there nodded in agreement. They knew if it weren't for Juey, the whole clan would find it difficult to force Tate to go onto the stage and display his incredible strength.
At that moment, the Cao Clan had to face a very brutal reality. Although they were still qualified to fight again, they could not find and send any beast curer that was on par with Tate's abilities. Plus, they really could not count on Yang any longer. On the other hand, Mary's strength was not as strong as Juey's; thus the clan could not rely on her, either.
But if the Cao Clan would not be able to send someone to represent them, then that would mean that they had already given up. In other words, the Qi Clan would claim the victory.
Meanwhile, the entire Cao Clan was in a quandary on how they could save themselves from a brutal loss.
Lucilla knew how to solve problems well under pressure. But at that moment, she could not seem to make up her mind. As a result, she asked Lucas for his thoughts about the matter.
"I guess we have no other choice but to send Miss Mary to join the compet
d have the opportunity to do everything beyond their imagination to repress the Cao Clan.
"You bastard..." yelled Queenie. At that moment, she was about to burst in anger. She could no longer contain her rage anymore that she wanted to teach Tate a lesson. But all of a sudden, a figure walked up to Lucilla and said, "My dear Lucilla, how could you love such a man with this self-esteem? You shouldn't have such a bad taste."
Seeing this figure gave Tate and the members of the Cao Clan quite a shock. This was because the person who addressed Lucilla affectionately was no other than Rocky.
Just like everyone else, Lucilla was also caught off guard. However, when she turned to look at Rocky, she noticed the calmness and confidence flashing in his eyes, which made her feel secured. After shaking things off, she responded subconsciously, "He always harasses me. I won't accept a man like him even for free, over my dead body! There is no way he can compete with you..."
"Really? Then this is only happening because of your incomparable beauty and charm, my dear Lucilla!" As he spoke, he stretched out one hand and wrapped it around Lucilla's waist. Soon after, he raised her chin ambiguously with his other hand.
"You..." said Lucilla shyly as she blushed. For a moment, she didn't know what to do, nor did she even resist Rocky's actions toward her. At that moment, she let Rocky take the lead and do whatever he wanted with her. Lucilla felt that she was in a trance, as if she could not take her eyes off him out of sheer attraction.
