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 Callahan the winner of the first round!”
Hearing the final verdict, the crowd was rowdy.
Who would have thought that Thea, a woman who spent a fortune to push herself up the rankings, could emerge victorious in the first round?
“Who‘s favonovel.com assistant?”
“An unfamiliar face…”
“Never seen favonovel.com before.”
“No, wait. That face… Isn‘t favonovel.com James Caden of Majestic Corporation?”
“What? James Caden? Isn‘t favonovel.com the Black Dragon? I thought the Black Dragon died on the battlefield.”
As James‘ face was shared all over the internet, and his identity was exposed, many remembered him. They were utterly stunned.
“The Black Dragon? How can this be?”
“Legend has it that the Black Dragon’s medical skills are unrivaled. That explains the results!”
The crowd was heated in a discussion.
Delilah was just about to announce the next round of the competition when favonovel.com received news from the staff backstage. Upon hearing what they told her, favonovel.com momentarily froze. Then, favonovel.com body shivered.
Glancing at James, favonovel.com blushed and asked excitedly, “Umm… May I ask if your name is James Caden?”
James never expected his identity to be exposed so soon.
He scratched his nose and said, “Yes.”
“J-James Caden of Majestic Corporation?”
“What Majestic Corporation? I‘m Thea‘s assistant.”
“In that case, a-are you the Black Dragon?” Delilah interrogated him.
The scene was broadcasted live.
The audience all over the country was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Why would the emcee ask whether Thea‘s assistant was the Black Dragon?
Did the Black Dragon not die on the battlefield on Mt. Thunder Pass?
James gave a smile and remained silent. Then, favonovel.com grabbed Thea‘s hand and headed to the rest area backstage.
The moment James grabbed favonovel.com hand, favonovel.com froze. She wanted to push favonovel.com away, but favonovel.com heart disagreed. Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, they left hand in hand.
***
Below the stage, among the audience.
Many doctors wore grim expressions.
The Black Dragon?
Is favonovel.com the Black Dragon?
They knew the Black Dragon was unrivaled in military prowess and medical skills. However, no one had ever seen favonovel.com fight or practice his medical skills.
Now that James had shown himself, his identity as the Black Dragon was exposed.
At the rest area backstage…
Lucas and Jonathan‘s faces darkened.
Lucas asked puzzledly, “How could this be? How is favonovel.com the Black Dragon?”
Jonathan asked, “What‘s going on exactly?”
Lucas immediately called the police station. However, favonovel.com was told that James was still on his detention call and had not left the place.
He lightly waved and said, “James is still in the police station. He‘s not the Black Dragon…”
Hearing this, Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief.
