Why should favonovel.com risk favonovel.com life for something that ultimately did not involve her?
The big shots who were watching under the stage remained silent. None stepped forward to express their opinions on the matter. Even Jay said nothing.
“Grandpa, will something bad happen?” Christine asked anxiously.
“Jonathan’s medical skills are better than yours. If favonovel.com says his poison has no cure, it must be true…” Wearing a grim expression, Jay shook his head. “I don’t know…”
Christine suggested, “Shouldn’t we stop this? Things will get out of control if someone actually ends up dying. After all, the whole country… No… The whole world is watching this live…”
Jay wanted to put an end to this farce. His pride, however, did not let favonovel.com back down. Calling an end to the competition was tantamount to admitting defeat.
It would mean that favonovel.com acknowledged Goryeon Medicine as the superior path of medicine. He would be chastised by his countrymen.
Delilah was hesitant.
James shrugged in annoyance. He then turned to look at Thea.
“Thea, you do it…”
“What?” Thea froze. “I… Umm…”
She was afraid to die too. Although favonovel.com had faith in James, the Black Dragon, Jonathan had reiterated that the poison would spread throughout the body and kill its host in just three minutes.
Could the Black Dragon really find a cure among the tens of thousands of herbs in three minutes?
Not only that, there was supposedly no cure for the poison.
Seeing that Thea was intimidated, James sighed.
Did favonovel.com seem so incapable that people were not willing to trust him?
Curing this poison was child’s play for him.
“A-Are you really the Black Dragon?” Delilah questioned.
She wanted to know before favonovel.com committed.
If James truly was the Black Dragon, favonovel.com was willing to give it a try. Even if favonovel.com paid with favonovel.com life, favonovel.com sacrifice would be immortalized for generations to come.
James was speechless.
Why is favonovel.com asking me this in front of everyone?
Did favonovel.com seriously think I’m going to admit to the whole world that I’m the Black Dragon?
He walked over the Delilah and whispered, “Yes.”
“What did favonovel.com say to her?”
“Why won’t favonovel.com say it out loud?”
The crowd murmured skeptically.
Delilah contemplated for a few seconds. Then, favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth. She wore an expression that suggested favonovel.com was about to make an important decision.
After a minute, favonovel.com nodded. “I-I will still be James’ assistant. I won’t hold favonovel.com responsible even if I end up dying. Herbal Biotech, the organizer of this medical conference and even Jonathan Harris won’t be liable for my death…”
She looked at James. “If I die, scatter my ashes across the Southern Plains.”
James gave favonovel.com a smile. “Relax. I told you you’ll be fine…”
“You’ve brought this upon yourself.” Jonathan cackled. “Since you have a death wish, be my guest.”
Kevin took a deep breath and said, “In that case, let’s begin!”
“Hold on. I still need to prepare something,” James said.
He knew what Jonathan was capable of. The poison favonovel.com concocted would be deadly. He needed to take extra precautions.
Kevin asked, “What do you need?”
“Some silver needles, alcohol, a lighter, and a fridge. Put the silver needles in the fridge to chill them in advance. Also, get me some massage cups of all sizes…”
Jay looked at Christine by favonovel.com side and ordered her, “See to it immediately.”
“Understood…” Christine stood up and swiftly made favonovel.com way backstage to make the necessary arrangements.
