Chapter 373

Leonard burst into laughter. “Dr. Ellis, you said it yourself. If I win, your life will be at my disposal!”

Dr. Ellis gritted his teeth and said, “That’s right, I said it. However, if you lose, you’ll have to get on your knees and apologize to me!”

Leonard chuckled and said, “Do you really think that I’ll lose? Dream on, Dr, Ellis! I will completely convince you that you’re a loser today!”

The people around them started to chatter.

“Has Dr. Ellis gone insane? He couldn’t even win Leonard. Why is he putting all hope on that young man?”

“He even put his life on the line! Even if Leonard doesn’t kill him, how will he be able to face anyone after this?”

“In my opinion, it’s all that young man’s fault. If he didn’t continuously provoke Leonard, things wouldn’t get to this point.”

“This young man doesn’t know the dangers of the world. In the end, he’ll have to pay a high price!”

“He deserves it! After all, he’s just a loser who cleans hospital toilets for a living. Yet, he dared to treat the elders of the medical industry so rudely. He’ll pay for his sins!”

“Hey, let’s just watch the show. We don’t need to care if he’ll live or die.”

Everyone was in a heated discussion and all of them didn’t have hope for Matthew. As for Travis, he was extremely delighted as everything was going according to plan. Even if Matthew had great medical skills, he wouldn’t be able to get on stage so the result was already predetermined. However, there was one thing that exceeded his expectations—he never thought that Dr. Ellis would dare to make a bet with Leonard.

Travis was scolded by Dr. Ellis just a moment ago and he was still holding a grudge, wondering how he could retaliate. Right now, he didn’t have to worry because Leonard was going to help him get revenge.

With that, the conference continued. After some polite remarks, the patients that were brought from each state were led onstage. The conditions of these patients looked so serious that common doctors wouldn’t know how to treat them. Later, the patients’ medical records were handed to the representatives from each state. After reading through it, everybody got ready to get on stage.

Dr. Ellis received a copy of the medical records too and he hurriedly handed it to Matthew. “Mr. Larson, please take a look.”

“There’s no need!” Matthew didn’t take it from him. Instead, his gaze circled around the six patients.

After he inherited the jade pendant, not only did he receive the medical knowledge of his ancestors, but he also received his ancestors’ decades of experience in medicine. Under normal circumstances, Matthew could roughly understand a patient’s condition with just a glance. Furthermore, medical records often affected judgements and they weren’t really helpful to Matthew, who usually only used them for reference. After a while, Leonard was the first to get up and he directly went onstage and started treating the patients. Leonard was a skilled acupuncturist and that was how he got his nickname of Leonard the Acupuncturist.

Dr. Ellis started to panic. “Mr. Larson, should we start too? Competitions like this not only take into account medical skills, but also speed. There are only six patients. If other people cure them first, we’ll lose!”

With a calm expression, Matthew replied, “There’s no need to panic. Let me observe a little longer.”

Dr. Ellis was in a daze. We’re in a crucial moment right now. What else does he need to observe?

Meanwhile, Leonard walked up to the first patient. The patient had been in a strange coma and the doctors had tried various methods but still couldn’t wake him up.

Everyone stared intently at Leonard. All of them had read the patient’s medical records and had no idea how to treat him, but Leonard was already about to start.

With a triumphant smile, Leonard opened his silver needle pouch and pulled out three silver needles.

Then, he punctured three acupuncture points on the patient’s body.

In order to put on a show, he even purposely did it at a quick speed without any hesitation. He found acupuncture points fast and punctured the needles firmly. Seeing this, the audience immediately applauded.

“No wonder he’s called Leonard the Acupuncturist. Not many people in the country can compete with him when it comes to acupuncture skills!”

“I agree! Leonard’s acupuncture skills are considered to be the top three in the country.”

“He is no doubt the most skilled doctor in Mightwater. I’m definitely no match for him!”

Everyone praised Leonard and at the same time, they glanced at Matthew. Now that they had seen Leonard’s skills first hand, they looked down on Matthew even more. Everyone thought that it was outrageous that he dared to challenge Leonard. Just then, the patient suddenly moved a little. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

“H-He’s awake?!” the attending doctor standing nearby exclaimed.

There was an instant uproar from the audience! This patient had been unconscious for over a month and his doctor had tried several methods, but he still couldn’t wake him up. However, with just three needles, Leonard had awakened the patient. Leonard indeed lived up to his fame!

Travis immediately turned to look at Matthew and with a triumphant grin, he asked, “Will you admit defeat now?”
