Chapter 569

Delilah continued, “We just received news that someone’s dissatisfied with the competition rules. That

man is Jonathan Harris of Universal Hospital. We’ll now invite Mr. Harris on stage.”

Hearing this, Jonathan got on stage. Faced with the audience and countless cameras, he remained

composed.

Kevin asked, “Mr. Harris, please tell us which aspect of the competition rules you’re dissatisfied with.”

Jonathan took the mic from the staff and said, “I’m extremely dissatisfied with the competition rules of

this year’s medical competition. How long are we going to take if we go one by one? I suggest that we

all compete at once.”

Delilah smiled. “The competition rules have been set by a group of hospitals. We can’t change them

just because you disagree.”

“Is that so?”

Jonathan smiled and pointed to Jay, who was seated at the very front of the audience seat and said,

“The strong decide the rules. How about this? I’ll challenge Dr. Fallon to a one-on-one. If I win, I call the

shots.”

His words caused an uproar.

According to the rules of past competitions, only the final competitor who emerged victorious could

have the right to challenge Dr. Fallon.

All video cameras were directed at Jay.

They were waiting for his response.

James was aware of what was happening at the front stage.

Walking alongside Thea, they sat among the audience and looked at Jonathan, who was on stage.

James knew that they would make a move.

However, he did not know their motives.

Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, Jay stood up and got on stage. Looking at Jonathan, a smile crept

onto his wrinkled face. “Mr. Harris, even if you’re dissatisfied with the competition rules, there’s no use

challenging me. I don’t set the rules. It was a group consensus. Even if you win against me, I don’t

have the right to change the rules for you.” “Then, I’ll ask everyone’s opinions on the matter.” Jonathan

looked at the big shots that were sitting below the stage. Alex Yates of Celestial Group, Yuna Lawson

of Longevity Pharmaceuticals, Charles Bertrand of Abundant Group, and others were present. They

were the big shots of Cansington. Therefore, they were the ones who set the rules. At that moment,

they gathered to discuss the matter.

After approximately fifteen minutes, they arrived at a conclusion.

Delilah spoke, “Mr. Harris, after a lengthy discussion, we accept your challenge. If you can defeat Dr.

Fallon, you’ll have the right to set the competition rules of this year’s medical competition. However, as

for the rules of the challenge between you and Dr. Fallon, that’s up to the two of you to decide.”

Jay chimed in, “Since it was Mr. Harris who proposed this, I’ll let him decide on the rules.”

Jonathan said, “Don’t worry, I won’t push you around. We’ll compete in medical prescription,

acupuncture, and acupoint treatment. How does that sound to you?”

He looked at Jay.

The atmosphere was bellicose even before the competition started. Though Jonathan’s opposition to

the competition rules had delayed the medical conference, it was a breath of fresh air to the audience.

Dr. Fallon had been holding the title of Asclepius for twenty years.

He had not shown his skills in many years. To be able to witness his medical skills would be the

highlight of the medical conference.

“Fine, I accept.”

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Jay agreed to the conditions. “Good. I’ll explain the rules in detail

then.”

Wearing a mischievous grin on his face, Jonathan said, “We’ll each concoct a poison for the other or

someone we trust to consume. After consuming the poison, we’ll use acupuncture and acupoint

treatment together with the antidote we’ve made to detoxify the body. The first to release the toxins

from the drinker’s body wins. We’ll combine the three aspects into one competition. The survivor will

emerge victorious.” Hearing this, the crowd was stunned.

Even Jay was caught off guard. Jonathan added, “Think carefully, Dr. Fallon. Lives are at stake here.

However, if either of us admits defeat, the other will have to provide the antidote.”

“Fine, I accept.”

Looking at Jonathan, Jay nodded his head. Hearing this, the crowd erupted in cheers.

This year’s medical conference was going to be much more interesting than the previous ones.
