Chapter 962
Jonathan smiled smugly. “Soon, I’ll establish a National Doctor’s Association that will replace the
current Doctor’s Association. I’ll implement a rule that says only doctors that have obtained a certificate
from our association will be able to practice medicine. Anyone else would be practicing illegally and can
be persecuted by the law as such”
“Who do you think you are to make such a decision?”
“You’re insane!”
Everyone looked at him disdainfully.
Only Thea believed in Jonathan’s threats.
With the people he had backing him, it would not be hard for him to set up a National Doctor’s
Association.
“Why isn’t he here yet…?”
Thea looked into the distance anxiously. Her hands were clammy.
Unfortunately, James was still nowhere to be seen.
“I’ll ask you one more time, Thea. Are you going to accept the challenge?” Jonathan asked menacingly.
The Callahans were not skilled in medicine. Faced with a talented doctor like Jonathan, there was
nothing they could do, so they simply held their tongues. They all looked at Thea, waiting for her to act
on their behalf.
“Of course, we’re going to accept! Why wouldn’t we?”
Thea bravely responded to his provocations. She glared at Jonathan and said coldly, “Since you’ve
specifically come to challenge us, Century Hospital will not back down. If we lose, I’ll admit defeat and
close down our hospital.”
Thea knew that James was on the way and had full trust in his medical capabilities.
Jonathan would tumble like a house of cards before him.
Everything about Thea oozed with the confidence that James would win.
“Where’s James? You can’t possibly be expecting this group of quack doctors to compete against me,
right?” Jonathan glanced condescendingly at the doctors standing in front of Century Hospital.
They were doctors that have practiced for decades and had multiple accolades. None of them there
were undeserving of their acclaim and reputation.
These doctors’ were infuriated after being called quacks, but they could not find the words to deny him.
However, it did not them from getting more and more resentful. All of them wanted so dearly to tear
Jonathan to pieces.
Thea said, “Since you’re here to evict us from Medical Street, every doctor in our hospital is qualified to
compete with you. Nothing is certain until after the competition.”
Thea shifted her indignant gaze from Jonathan and turned to the doctors behind her. She whispered,
“James is stuck in traffic right now. With so many media reporters here, we can’t afford to look like we
submit to them. Even if we aren’t a match for Jonathan, we must still show some fighting spirit. We
need someone to compete against him to buy some time.”
“I’ll take you on, Jonathan!”
Bjorn stepped forward and accepted the challenge.
His medical skills were also among the best in the country. For decades, only Jay’s abilities surpassed
him. The only other person he had lost to was Jonathan in the last medical conference.
Since they needed to stall for time, he did not hesitate to take on the challenge. Even if he meant losing
once again in public.
“Alright.”
Jonathan laughed derisively and said, “Bjorn, are you sure about this? This isn’t a normal competition.
You’ll literally be putting your life on the line. Are you sure you want to do it?”
Jonathan’s statement took Bjorn by surprise.
Putting his life on the line?
Truthfully, Bjorn was frightened.
He froze in place and remained silent for a long time.
“Do you accept the challenge, Bjorn?” Jonathan asked once again.
Then, he warned ominously, “If you accept it, sign an agreement that you will not hold the other party
liable if you succumb to the poison during this duel.”
Hearing the conditions, the onlookers gasped in horror.
The consequences of losing were heavy.
No one would dare throw away their lives just to buy time.
Thea’s eyes also widened. She never expected Jonathan to challenge people to a duel to the death.
Bjorn’s silence told Thea all she needed to know. He was terrified. Terrified of dying in vain.
“I’ll do it.”
Thea stepped forward and looked at Jonathan. The eyes that gazed at him were full of determination.
“We’re putting our lives on the line, right? Fine, I’ll accept the challenge.”
Her words caused a huge stir in the crowd.
Everyone present was shocked that Thea accepted Jonathan’s challenge.novelbin
Despite everyone’s surprise, Thea was confident.
She was a third-rank grandmaster and could use True Energy to suppress the poison from spreading
throughout her body until James arrived.
