NovelStartChapter 1268 Mount Blackcloud
As Arielle said nothing, Queenie grew increasingly furious.
Anyone would be upset to get ignored, especially when Arielle was her love rival.
Gritting her teeth, she said, “Are you feeling smug? Even if Cor values your medical skills, there's no way you would becthe
head of the family. Dream on!”
Arielle shot Queenie a glare like she was a fool before getting up to head to another seat.
“Hey...”
Before Queenie could fly into a fit of rage, Cornelius cout.
As Queenie wanted to join the selection to be the head of the family, she tamped her irritation down.
“Thank you for making tto join the selection for the new leader. Now, we shall begin the selection. There are three areas of
assessment, and you'll be graded in each area. Three days later, the candidate with the highest average score will be elected as
the leader of the Mill family,” Cornelius announced as he stood in the middle of the hall, clad in his plain clothes.
After explaining the details of the selection, he revealed the first mission.
“Your first mission is to find herbs in the mountains. Before the sun sets, the person who finds the most herbs will receive the
highest score.”
After a brief pause, he added, “There might be beasts in the mountains, so it is a dangerous mission. Those who are afraid can quit
now.”
“The mountain? Which mountain?”
Many candidates weren't local, so they didn’t know the place well.

In the suburbs, there was a mountain known as Mount Blackcloud, which was closed to the public all year long. Everyone wondered
if Cornelius was talking about this undeveloped mountain.
“Yes, it's Mount Blackcloud.”
Many were shocked to hear his answer.
As Mount Blackcloud was undeveloped, there was a chance of the contestants running into wild beasts.
Two contestants who did not dare to risk their lives immediately quit.
However, most of them chose to stay.
It was the twenty-first century, so they assumed they wouldn't run into wild beasts that would take their lives.
Cornelius then told everyone to sign an agreement stating that the Mills wouldn't be held responsible if they ran into danger.
After everyone finished signing the agreement, Cornelius asked Salvador to distribute the maps that he prepared earlier to
everyone.
While Salvador was busy distributing the maps, Cornelius continued, “As the goal of this test is to select a leader, we must regard it
seriously. To prevent any cheating, all contestants aren't allowed to bring their phones along. Of course, for your safety, the Mill
family will prepare a tracking device for everyone. If you run into trouble, you can seek help by sending out a distress signal with
the device.”
Most of the contestants were medical experts and didn’t expect that the Mill family would confiscate their phones. Despite their
reluctance, they could understand the Mills’ decision.
It was easy to search for information online, so people might be tempted to cheat. Getting elected as the head of the family was
too huge a temptation, after all. Thus, everyone handed in their phones obediently amidst their grumblings.
Before Arielle handed her phone, she texted Vinson to tell him about the rules and that she had to hand her phone to the organizer.
She reminded him to stay calm if he couldn't contact her, for she would get in touch with him once she cback.
After receiving her text, Vinson typed out a reply quickly: Be careful. It would be great if you could get the medical manuscripts,
but it doesn’t matter even if you don’t. Your safety is of utmost importance.
A blissful smile emerged on Arielle’s face after she sensed his concern through the text.
