Thea shook her head and said, “We’ll talk about it after James’ case is over.” “Sure, of course.” Gladys stood up and pulled Benjamin away, smiling. “Thea, take a rest. Your father and I will be at the hospital visiting your brother.” “Mhm.” Thea nodded. After Gladys and Benjamin left, Thea looked at Quincy and sighed in dejection. “Quincy, do you think I’m too heartless? After all, since he married into the Callahans, he has been working tirelessly without a single complaint. Besides, he treats me really well. Now that something’s happened to him, I’m thinking of divorcing him.” “I…” Quincy did not know what to say. From her perspective, she really hoped for Thea and James to divorce. However, as Thea’s best friend, she did not wish for them to separate. “I thought James was an honest and upright man. I don’t mind him spending money on hookers, but how could he commit such a crime? I can’t forgive him,” Thea said. “Mhm.” As Quincy did not know what to say, she we

Though it was only eight in the morning, the venue was already packed with people. The place was rowdy. James arrived early. This time, he kept a low profile. He had instructed Newton to buy a seat that was not too far back nor too near the front. He took a seat and waited patiently. He was curious to see what Lucas Hamilton from Universal Hospital and Jonathan Harris from Goryeo were up to. At that moment, the emcee of the medical conference got on the stage. She was a popular actress called Delilah Kimberly. Wearing a red gown, her curvaceous figure was for all to see. With a mic in hand, she got on the stage. Her melodious laugh echoed throughout the venue. “How exhilarating! The medical conference hasn’t even started yet, and I’m excited about it already. I have long dreamt of witnessing our fellow genius doctors of Sol gather and compete for the highest honor in the medical world of Sol.” “That’s right.” A man in a suit walked out from backstage. He was Kevin M

James said, “They’re calling for you. Go.” “But, I…” James lightly waved. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.” “Alright.” Thea put on the earphones and swiftly made her way back to the venue. Under the crowd’s watchful gaze, she got on stage. The top hundred were gathered on stage. The competition rules had been established. Delilah and Kevin announced them. The rules of the medical competition were simple. It was a one vs. one knockout. Fifty winners would enter the winners’ team. Meanwhile, the remaining fifty who lost would be randomly matchmade and enter another one vs. one knockout round. The winners, again, would progress to the winners’ team. Then, they would again be randomly matchmade with a person from the winners’ team and continue the one vs. one knockout round. After announcing the rules, an LCD TV appeared. A hundred names were listed on it. Then, they were randomized and matchmade with one another. Soon, the results were out. “Let’s welcome

James glanced at Francois and said coldly, “Mr. Cortez, are you calling into question the Solean medical conference’s impartiality? With so many reporters and cameras here… With an audience that numbers a hundred thousand and the millions of viewers who are watching live right now, are you trying to say that I cheated?” “You must’ve cheated. How can a youngster like you correctly identify so many herbs using your sense of smell in such a short amount of time? Even if you had your eyes opened, there’s no way you could’ve done it so quickly!” Francois could not believe it. He could not believe that a youngster like James would have such proficiency in medicine. Delilah said, “Since the opponent has raised questions about the fairness of the competition, I’d like to invite the jury to investigate if there’s anything wrong with his blindfold.” James gave his blindfold to the jury. After inspecting it, they found nothing wrong with it. “In that case, I officially declare Thea

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
