Chapter 962


    Jonathan smiled smugly.


    "Soon, I’ll establish a National Doctor’s Association that will rece 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 thew


    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 mmy.


    Unfortunately, James was still nowhere to be seen.


    "I''ll ask you one more time, Thea.Are you going to ept the challenge?"


    Jonathan asked menacingly.


    The Cahans 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 ept! Why wouldn’t we?"


    Thea bravely responded to his provocations.She red at Jonathan and said coldly, "Since you’ve


    specificallye 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 topete against me,


    right?"


    Jonathan nced condescendingly at the doctors standing in front of Century Hospital.


    They were doctors that have practiced for decades and had multiple des.

    None of them there were undeserving of their acim 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 thepetition."


    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 topete against him to buy some time."


    "I''ll take you on, Jonathan!"


    Bjorn stepped forward and epted 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 thest 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."


    Jonathanughed derisively and said, "Bjorn, are you sure about this? This isn’t anormal


    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 ce and remained silent for a


    long time.


    "Do you ept the challenge, Bjorn?" Jonathan asked once again.


    Then, he warned ominously, "If you ept it, sign an agreement that you will not hold the other party


    liable if you sumb 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.


    "l 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 ept the challenge."


    Her words caused a huge stir in the crowd.


    Everyone present was shocked that Thea epted Jonathan’s challenge.


    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.
