Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 464 See Penelope Again

As Trace spoke, a trace of sorrow and unwillingness appeared on his face. "Forget it! Let's temporarily set aside the grudge between Verdant Pine and Semaj. From now on, no one is allowed to mention it again!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Hidden World Wood family present couldn't help but exchange glances. But in the end, they all nodded in agreement.

The Hidden World Wood family was domineering, but that was only when dealing with weaker individuals or families. After the two powerful Golden Core experts in the family had fallen one after another, they realized a problem: Lachlan and the forces behind him were not something the Hidden World Wood family could afford to provoke.

In such a situation, cutting losses in a timely manner was the most correct choice.

"Oh, by the way! Mr. Wood, you should go to Edoland and meet with Lachlan to explain things clearly to him. Just say that Verdant Pine intercepted him, but that was only Verdant Pine's own decision. And Semaj went to Edoland only for personal revenge. Their actions have nothing to do with our family," Trace instructed an elderly man with a white beard.

"Yes, Trace! I understand what to do," the elderly man replied, bowing.

That night, after soothing Nora to sleep, Lachlan practiced his swordsmanship in the courtyard once again. Today's battle with Semaj, the Golden Core expert, had given him a new understanding. The experience of fighting against someone at a higher cultivation level, as well as the state of mind that arose under that pressure, was undoubtedly valuable.

Lachlan recalled his state at that time, the battle intent, the unstoppable momentum.

Swish!

In the next moment, a sharp light shot out from his eyes, and his Glacial River Dragon Sparrow Blade traced a subtle trajectory as it slashed forward. In this strike, he didn't use any true energy, relying solely on the strength of his physical body.

However, the power was equally astonishing. Where the blade passed, the space seemed to be torn apart by a special force. Even a distant pomegranate tree branch was severed by an invisible sword energy "This is... the power of 'momentum'?"

"I've comprehended momentum?"

Lachlan's eyes sparkled with excitement as he muttered to himself. During his battle with Semaj today, driven by a frenzy of battle intent, he felt as if he had vaguely touched upon some special power. Through careful perception and comprehension, he unexpectedly gained insight into "momentum"!

"Momentum" was an intangible and elusive thing, but it undeniably existed. Why could a person standing before a majestic mountain feel the overwhelming momentum rushing toward them? Why would one feel boundless fear and trepidation when facing the sea? Why would an ordinary person sense a formidable presence from a seasoned warrior?

All of these were manifestations of "momentum".

And for martial practitioners, comprehending "momentum" could greatly enhance their strength. It was a power that could be utilized and added to their attacks. Lachlan realized that his ordinary attacks now contained the essence of "momentum," doubling their power compared to before.

This concept was similar to the morale of two armies in battle. With the same number of soldiers, the side with high morale would exhibit vastly different combat capabilities compared to the side with low morale.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Now that Lachlan had comprehended "momentum," his attacks seemed to possess an inherent "morale boost," and their power was incomparable to before.

"Now, if I were to fight another early-stage Golden Core expert, perhaps it wouldn't be as perilous as it was during the day!"

"It seems that only life-and-death battles can unleash one's maximum potential!"

Lachlan couldn't help but sigh.

The next day, Lachlan took a break from kindergarten for his daughter and set off with Nora. They first took a car to the Capital and then boarded a plane to Oswesh City in Yeginia. Around noon that day, Lachlan held Nora's little hand and walked out of the exit of Oswesh City's airport.

"Daddy, where are we going to play?" Nora asked with anticipation, staring at him with bright eyes.

Lachlan smiled and said, "Sweetheart, how about we go see the Grand Canyon first?" Oswesh City had several tourist attractions, such as the Oswesh Grand Canyon, ancient temples, ethnic cultural areas, and so on.

Although his main purpose was to find the great witch doctor, Lachlan also wanted to truly have a good time with his daughter and hide his true intentions in front of Nora. He didn't want his daughter to know about the curse inside her. He just wanted Nora to be carefree and happy, even if one day he couldn't hide it anymore. But being able to keep it a secret for one more day was worth it.

"Yay! That sounds great!"

"We're going to see the Grand Canyon, right?"

"Daddy, is it like the one we saw on TV, with a big 'whoosh' sound?" Nora exclaimed, using her hands and feet to describe it.

Her expression was innocent and adorable. Lachlan squatted down and kissed her little face, filled with tender love.

Nora leaned her face closer, happily laughing. She felt ticklish by her father's stubble.

At that moment, a surprised voice sounded.

"Huh? Is that you?"

Lachlan turned towards the voice and furrowed his brows.

He saw a young woman and an elderly man who had coincidentally walked out of the airport's exit at the same time. It was none other than Altha, the president of the Kreanford Medicine Association, and his

granddaughter Penelope.

It seemed that they were on the same flight as Lachlan, but Lachlan was in economy class while they were probably in first class, so they hadn't encountered each other before.

Penelope glared at Lachlan, her beautiful eyes flashing with resentment and hostility.

During the medicine exchange conference, Lachlan and Raphael had teamed up to make a fool of her and Harlow. They had turned her, the campus belle of Jieyson University, into a laughingstock!

For a long time, Penelope couldn't

hold her head up high in the

second-generation circle of the

Capital. Her image had been greatly damaged, and many noble sons who used to pursue her were no longer interested. The other wealthy girls in the circle ridiculed her for that incident.

Penelope didn't dare to resent Raphael, but she harbored deep hatred for Lachlan.

She never expected to encounter this guy in Oswesh today.

Altha also noticed Lachlan at this moment. His face darkened, and he coldly snorted.

His granddaughter had become a laughingstock, and as a grandfather, he also felt humiliated.

They never considered their own faults or why they had suffered such humiliation. They only knew that it was all because of Lachlan's doing.
