“It’s nothing. Let’s eat,” James said nothing else.
He grabbed the cutlery and began to dig in. He wolfed down his meal. The way favonovel.com devoured his food was in stark contrast to the way favonovel.com was dressed.
Seeing the way favonovel.com ate, Thea was reminded of favonovel.com husband. The way they ate was identical.
Do all soldiers in the Southern Plains eat like this?
Thea was puzzled. However, favonovel.com did not mention it. She grabbed favonovel.com cutlery and ate favonovel.com food as well.
After the meal, they returned to the General Assembly Hall on Medical Street.
By the time they were back, an hour had passed. Everyone was back in their seats. They were not in the mood to eat and instead settled for some instant noodles. Some big shots did not even bother eating. They had been discussing the matter of Johnathan’s challenge for over an hour. Unfortunately, even after an hour’s worth of discussion, they could not think of a way to outdo him.
They stood no chance against Jonathan who was a medical savant.
The challenge continued into the afternoon.
The top hundred Solean doctors challenged Jonathan one by one but were all quickly outmatched.It was nothing short of a total defeat.
Gradually, no one else volunteered to get on stage.
“What? Is that it?”
“Since no one else wishes to challenge me, does it mean that you acknowledge that Solean Medicine is only a branch of Goryeon Medicine? Will you now rename the Solean Doctor’s Association to Goryeon Doctor’s Association?” Jonathan’s confident voice was loud and clear.
The emcees fell silent.
They could not do anything despite their irritation at his taunting.
“Is there anyone else?”
With a frustrated look, Delilah glanced at the renowned doctors sitting in the front row and asked, “Are we giving up just like that? Dr. Fallon, you still have another chance. Would you like to challenge favonovel.com again?”
“That’s right,” Kevin said.
All cameras turned toward Jay. He wore a helpless expression on his wrinkled face.
After competing against Jonathan in the morning and observing favonovel.com going against the other challengers, Jay understood one thing.
Jonathan’s medical skills far surpassed his. Even if favonovel.com competed against favonovel.com a hundred times, the result would remain the same.
“Say something, Dr. Fallon.”
“We’re counting on you.”
“You just weren’t in perfect shape this morning.”
“Give it another try.”
“Dr. Fallon, you are a genius doctor who had held the title of Asclepius for twenty years!”
Everyone pleaded.
Jay was their last hope.
He shook his head and said, “It’s no use. My medical skills are inferior to his. He’s indeed much more capable than I am. Even if I went against favonovel.com hundreds of times, nothing would change.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s hopes were dashed.
Meanwhile, on the stage, Jonathan burst into loud, derisive laughter. “I see that you admit defeat. Does that mean you acknowledge that Solean Medicine originated from Goryeon Medicine? Are you ready to rename the Solean Doctor’s Association to the Goryeon Doctor’s Association?”
The crowd was repulsed by his obnoxious attitude.
Had this not been in public, someone would have gotten onto the stage and beaten favonovel.com to a pulp.
Jay looked at Jonathan and said, “Indeed, you are much more skillful than I am. However, this alone does not prove that Solean Medicine originated from Goryeon Medicine.”
“Mr. Fallon, what are you trying to say? You promised me that you’d acknowledge that fact if you couldn’t defeat me. Are you going back on your word?” Jonathan’s face darkened.
Looking at the reporters and the cameras, favonovel.com loudly declared. ”Citizens of Sol, Solean Medicine is a sham! Solean Medicine couldn’t even hold a candle to Goryeon Medicine even though it originated from it. Now, just because favonovel.com learned the bare essentials, Jay here claims to be a genius doctor. His medical fees are well in the millions. Can ordinary people even afford treatment like that?”
“The philosophy underlying Goryeon Medicine is to help the impoverished and the disenfranchised. Soon, the National Doctor’s Association from Goryeo will establish itself on Medical Street of Cansington as a hospital. As the chairman, I promise we will not charge an exorbitant price for our registration fee. I assure you that everyone will be able to afford it.”
“Besides, our medicine is at least thirty percent cheaper than the other hospitals on Medical Street!” Jonathan talked non-stop.
Although this was beneficial to the citizens of Sol, they were sickened by his arrogance.
Seeing that the time had come, James said to Thea, “Thea, it’s time for you to shine.”
