James glanced at Francois and said coldly, “Mr. Cortez, are you calling into question the Solean medical conference’s impartiality? With so many reporters and cameras here… With an audience that numbers a hundred thousand and the millions of viewers who are watching live right now, are you trying to say that I cheated?” “You must’ve cheated. How can a youngster like you correctly identify so many herbs using your sense of smell in such a short amount of time? Even if you had your eyes opened, there’s no way you could’ve done it so quickly!” Francois could not believe it. He could not believe that a youngster like James would have such proficiency in medicine. Delilah said, “Since the opponent has raised questions about the fairness of the competition, I’d like to invite the jury to investigate if there’s anything wrong with his blindfold.” James gave his blindfold to the jury. After inspecting it, they found nothing wrong with it. “In that case, I officially declare Thea

Lucas and Jonathan had heard of the rumors. The assistant by Thea’s side was the chairman of Majestic Corporation. Meanwhile, there were rumors that the chairman of Majestic Corporation was the Black Dragon. However, they knew the truth. The real Black Dragon was James, the son-in-law of the Callahans. They just happened to share the same name. Besides, the Black Dragon was currently trapped in his detention cell. Lucas had called the police station, and he was told that James was still confined and had not left the place. “We’ll go according to plan.” Lucas looked at Jonathan. Jonathan nodded, and his face darkened. “From today onward, there will be no more Solean Doctor’s Association in Sol. Meanwhile, the National Doctor’s Association of Goryeo will establish itself in this nation. In just a few years, we’ll have full control of its medical market. That way, we can control the citizens of Sol using medicine. If we conquer Sol, we can conquer the world.” Lucas smiled.

Delilah continued, “We just received news that someone’s dissatisfied with the competition rules. That man is Jonathan Harris of Universal Hospital. We’ll now invite Mr. Harris on stage.” Hearing this, Jonathan got on stage. Faced with the audience and countless cameras, he remained composed. Kevin asked, “Mr. Harris, please tell us which aspect of the competition rules you’re dissatisfied with.” Jonathan took the mic from the staff and said, “I’m extremely dissatisfied with the competition rules of this year’s medical competition. How long are we going to take if we go one by one? I suggest that we all compete at once.” Delilah smiled. “The competition rules have been set by a group of hospitals. We can’t change them just because you disagree.” “Is that so?” Jonathan smiled and pointed to Jay, who was seated at the very front of the audience seat, and said, “The strong decide the rules. How about this? I’ll challenge Dr. Fallon to a one-on-one. If I win, I call the shots
Chapter 570
Faced with Jonathan’s challenge, Jay was not afraid. He chose to accept the challenge. Seeing this, a mischievous grin crept onto Jonathan’s face as if his evil machinations had come to a crescendo. “I’ll briefly explain the rules,” Jonathan said. “A thousand medicinal herbs will be prepared. Based on our understanding of the herbs, we’ll freely mix and match them to create a poison. After the other party has consumed the poison, we’ll have to mix and match from among the thousand herbs once more to create an antidote. Of course, we’re allowed to use acupuncture and acupoint pressure therapeutic means to release the toxins.” “Mhm.” Jay nodded. Jonathan continued, “To ensure the impartiality of the competition, I’ll leave the preparation of the herbs to Herbal Biotech.” Jay immediately made the arrangements. Soon, a few shelves were pushed on stage. There were many drawers on each shelf, and the names of each herb were labeled on each drawer. According to the rules, bo

The other was a rather unknown doctor. Who would emerge victorious? The crowd watched in anticipation. Looking at Jay and Jonathan on stage, Thea asked, “Mr. Caden, those medicinal herbs look ordinary. Can they really be made into a poison?” “Yes.” James nodded. “Though the herbs themselves are not poisonous, they could be after being mixed together. Jay and Jonathan are both skillful doctors. The poison they concoct would be deadly. We’ll have to see whose antidote is better.” Thea glanced at James and asked, “Mr. Caden, do you think you can win against them in a competition?” The corner of his mouth turned up slightly with a smile. Seeing this, Thea understood. Time passed. Under the watchful gaze of the audience, Jay and Jonathan earnestly concocted a poison based on their understanding of each herb. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. “Time’s up. Please stop what you’re doing.” Jay and Jonathan stopped. Kevin looked at them and said, “For safety’
Chapter 572
As the poison concocted by both Jay and Jonathan was deadly, the symptoms showed themselves immediately upon consumption. Christine and Lucas were lying on the stage. Their symptoms were different. Jay hurriedly crouched down and took Christine’s pulse to diagnose her condition. Jonathan did the same. There were at least a dozen cameras on stage. Their every action was clearly recorded. After diagnosing her condition, Jay swiftly pulled out a few silver needles and blocked off all of Christine’s acupuncture points and meridians to prevent the poison from spreading. “Ten minutes.” After diagnosing her condition, Jay knew what to do. He needed to create an antidote to release the toxins in Christine’s body in ten minutes. Otherwise, she would be in mortal danger. Even if he admitted defeat after ten minutes, Christine’s body could suffer irreparable damage and have long-term consequences. He immediately began creating an antidote. Jonathan, on the other hand, was

However, Jonathan was no ordinary doctor. The poison he concocted was deadly, and the toxins spread at a rapid pace. Jay did not have time to release them from Christine’s body. If the toxins had spread at a slower pace… If he had more time, he could surely find an antidote. Time passed. Only two minutes remained. The toxins in Lucas’ body were almost completely released. Color returned to his face. Seeing that Jonathan had released the toxins in Lucas’ body, Jay knew he had lost. He stood up and said, “I admit defeat. I can’t find the antidote with the amount of time I have. Give me the antidote.” If he persisted and allowed the poison to spread freely in Christine’s body, she would be in mortal danger. The crowd gasped. “Jay Fallon is admitting defeat?” “Jay Fallon, the genius doctor who had held the title of Asclepius for twenty years, is admitting defeat?” They could not believe it. They expected an evenly matched battle, not an overwhelming victory by Jonat
Chapter 574
On the stage, Jonathan looked Jay in the eye and asked, “Mr. Fallon, do you disagree with my words?” Jay frowned. His face darkened. He knew Jonathan came from Goryeo. He also knew he was once a citizen of Sol who had immigrated to Goryeo. However, he did not expect him to have such a malicious intention by joining this year’s Solean medical conference. He was beneath Jonathan in the field of concocting poison and creating antidotes. “Hey, say something. You established the Solean Doctor’s Association and believed Solean Medicine to be authentic just because you acquired some superficial knowledge originating from Goryeon Medicine. I’ll give you a chance to challenge me. If you suffer another defeat, you’ll have to dissolve the Solean Doctor’s Association or rename it the Goryeon Doctor’s Association. I hope I’m not asking for much.” Jonathan was being deliberately aggressive. “Dr. Fallon, accept his challenge.” “Solean Medicine is the cultural inheritance of Sol. We ca
