Chapter 577


    "I-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 he devoured his food was in stark contrast to the way he was dressed.


    Seeing the way he ate, Thea was reminded of her husband.The way they ate was identical.


    ‘Do all soldiers in the Southern ins eat like this?’ Thea was puzzled.


    However, she did not mention it.She grabbed her cutlery and ate her 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, Delh nced 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 him


    again?"


    "That’s right," Kevin said.


    All cameras turned toward Jay.He wore a helpless expression on his wrinkled face.


    Afterpeting against Jonathan in the morning and observing him going against the other


    challengers, Jay understood one thing.


    Jonathan’s medical skills far surpassed his.


    Even if hepeted against him 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 theirst 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 him hundreds of times, nothing


    would change."


    Upon hearing this, the crowd’s hopes were dashed.


    Meanwhile, on the stage, Jonathan burst into loud, derisiveughter.


    "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 him 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, he loudly dered."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 he learned the bare essentials, Jay here ims 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 hade, James said to Thea, "Thea, it’s time for you to shine."
