Daddy the Miracle Medic (Lachlan and Miranda) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 Treacherous Scheme

Lachlan sneered, "I'm here to help your family keep their status as a prestigious clan. Do you really expect me to sleep on the couch? Besides, I only have manners for women I like. Sorry, but you're not one of them."

He grinned slyly and continued, "But don't worry about me getting up. Why don't you come lay down with me instead?"

Savannah glared at Lachlan with murderous intent and spat out, "You shameless jerk!"

Lachlan chuckled lightly and then changed his tone abruptly. "By the way, who are the Wood family people? It seems like they have some sort of grudge against your family."

Savannah hesitated for a moment before explaining to Lachlan, "The Wood family is also an ancient martial arts clan just like us. Our feud goes back to two other hidden clans that used to exist behind our respective families..."

It turned out that there was once a hidden faction within the Graham family known as Hidden Graham Family. The same went for the Wood family; they had their own hidden faction called Hidden Wood Family.

Hidden Graham Family and Hidden Wood Family were mortal enemies who fought in a bloody battle sixty years ago. In that war, Hidden Graham Family suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Hidden Wood Family which led to their complete annihilation.

Since then, the Graham family lost its backing and could only retreat into Edoland where it currently resided.

It was because the Graham family was also a member of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, and since the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance was formed by several hidden forces, the Graham family, whether hidden or ancient martial, couldn't be completely eradicated. Otherwise, the Graham family would no longer exist.

Speaking of this, a deep worry appeared in Savannah's beautiful eyes. "So, whether we can maintain our family status in this Clan Grand Competition not only affects whether my family can obtain cultivation resources in the future but also determines the life and death of my family. Once expelled from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, the Wood family and the hidden family behind them will surely exterminate us, uprooting us!"

At this point, Savannah looked at Lachlan with a complex expression. "This is also why my father was willing to allocate a full thirty percent of cultivation resources to you and why he wanted you to come here with me, even if you're just tagging along. Lachlan, I don't expect you to perform exceptionally well in this competition; I just hope you can help us secure another spot apart from mine."

Hearing this, Lachlan understood the situation and chuckled, "So, this competition is so crucial for your family! Hehe... In that case, giving me only thirty percent seems a bit stingy."

Savannah, upon hearing this, showed a deep sense of anger and snorted coldly. Meanwhile, on the other side, in a room where Hugo and Jackson, brothers from the Wood family, stayed together, they were discussing something with the elder Patrick.

"I never expected the Graham family to produce a martial arts genius, huh!" Patrick stroked his gray-white beard and spoke coldly.

"At the late stage of Uppecia, this strength is indeed rare at the ordinary level of martial arts families. We are only at the late stage of Uppecia," remarked Hugo with narrowed eyes.

Jackson snorted, "Even if Callum manages to pass, the other one is just wasting time! Don't forget, each family needs at least two descendants to pass the test."

Patrick's expression turned sinister, "As for Landon, although he hasn't revealed his strength, since he was sent by the Graham family, he might also be at the Uppecia level. If he happens to pass the test, the Graham family might still secure its family status. If we want to eliminate the Graham family, who knows how long we'll have to wait. In this competition, we must ensure the Graham family is expelled from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance without any mistakes."

After listening, Patrick and Hugo both showed a sly smile. "This move is brilliant! Record the scenes in the room at that time!"

"Yeah! When those two Graham family losers are affected by this Forgetfulness Elixir, it's not an exaggeration to say that as long as there's a hole, they'll want to poke into it. Hahaha! Those two losers will surely embrace each other romantically, and afterwards, apart from a sore bottom, they won't remember what happened. When the time comes, in front of all the martial arts families and several major hidden forces, we'll release this video... Hahaha, it's simply too exciting!"

Patrick also nodded, "As one of the founders of the hidden family within the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance, we've been trying to persuade other hidden forces to directly expel the Graham family from the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance for years. Other families also have this intention, but they always need a pretext. Unfortunately, the Graham family has been following the rules these years, staying low-key and avoiding getting caught. But if such a scandal happens, hehe..."

On the other side, after Lachlan and the others took a short break in their room and had dinner, they explored Vleah City a bit.

When they returned to the hotel, it was already past nine in the evening. Shortly after returning to their room, someone knocked on the door of Lachlan and Savannah's room.

Opening the door, they found a hotel staff member outside. "Is there something you need?" Lachlan asked.

"Well, sir, it's like this. Autumn has arrived, and the mosquitoes here are particularly fierce. Although we've sprayed insect repellent before, we can't guarantee that there won't be any mosquitoes disturbing your rest. So, our hotel has prepared an electric mosquito repellent for you."

Saying this, the staff member took out an electric mosquito repellent, and the liquid inside seemed full, appearing brand new.
