Roderick waved a hand and answered shortly, "I'm not interested."Huh?!Raphael frowned in displeasure and questioned him more arrogantly this time."What do you mean by you are not interested?""It would be more understandable if you admitted to not being confident in yourself. And I wonder how someone like you was appointed as Khun's candidate for the competition!"Raphael's frustration began to rise.He continued to taunt Roderick repeatedly, trying to trap him into agreeing with him.Sadly, none of his tricks worked on Roderick.He only remained unbothered and watched him fume in frustration.After Raphael did his best to provoke Roderick but failed, the arrogant man finally left Roderick's apartment in total frustration.Roderick might not have fallen into this trap, but Raphael wouldn’t give up on the matter so easily. He had great expectations for the medical practitioner competition and wouldn’t give anyone else the chance to steal the limelight.......After a few hours at Cr
Chapter 482
It was an hour before the scheduled time for the medical practitioner competition when Trent returned to Roderick's apartment so they could get going and arrive at the venue on time.After Roderick had a little rest following his meal, he had already prepared himself to keep track of time by their side.As soon as Trent arrived at his apartment, they left for the competition venue in Roderick's car.The competition venue was located in the modern part of the city. It was a very large and open field where even passersby could have the opportunity to view the show.Roderick's car suddenly halted at the venue, and he got out with Trent.Looking at the high stage of the competition and the large, well-illuminated field, Trent asked Roderick,"How do you feel about the venue, Mr. Holmes?"With a slight nod, Roderick responded, "It's not bad."Trent was satisfied to hear that. Of course, he knew such a big stage couldn't make Roderick nervous as long as his talent was extraordinary.He was

It's already been a few minutes since the kick-off time for the competition. Almost the whole venue has been occupied. The judges are settled in their seats, and the candidates are all on the ground, too, except for one person.It is none other than Owen Cross.Mr. Cross Senior has been calling him repeatedly, but it is really frustrating that Owen never answers his calls.This has made the old man quite restless.This competition is one of the most anticipated events in the city.Aside from the prize the winner will receive, the honour that goes to the winner's family cannot be overlooked.It has never happened in history that the Owen family reached the final stage of the competition and became the winner. That is why Mr. Cross Senior put in a lot of effort to secure a spot as a judge for the competition to increase their chances of winning.Now that the opportunity seems clearer for them, he can't believe Owen could be so foolish as to let it slip away just like that.Among the par

Owen didn't want to believe his eyes were deceiving him at that moment. He ran around the car, his mind swirling with doubt."This can't be Roderick's car. Didn't he leave for Glacia City? Why would his car still be here in South City?" Owen argued with himself.The head of the bodyguards spoke to Owen. "Mr. Cross, that really is Roderick's car. The fact that we can't find any trace of him in Glacia City means he's still in South City."Owen squinted, unconvinced.He was trying to find a reason why Roderick would still be in South City at this hour. That wasn’t really his main concern.The main problem was: if Roderick was still in South City, why was his car at the medical practitioner competition venue?Owen was still doubtful when the bodyguard said, "Mr. Cross, why not just check around there to find him? I'm sure he's somewhere nearby."The idea didn't sound bad to Owen, but he felt his bodyguards were just trying to escape punishment for failing at the simple task he gave them.

A round of applause erupted as usual when Roderick stepped out. However, the crowd stared at him strangely.Not only did he look like a novice to them, but his face was completely unfamiliar as well.He didn't look like anyone they knew in South City.At that moment, Owen was burning with pain.He was almost tempted to yell at the crowd to stop applauding for the fool.He wanted to start lamenting everything Roderick had done to him today.However, he had to swallow whatever was pushing inwardly at his stomach.He couldn't act foolishly before this crowd.The fact that Owen was trying his best to make Roderick’s eyes meet his, but the latter never even cared to look in his direction, made him feel like he was being stabbed with a very sharp knife in the chest.He was sure Roderick had seen him when he was called on stage, and that was why he was trying to hide his face from him now.He believed Roderick must be really scared of him. That was why he was hiding his face.Just then, a ch

There was a brief silence before Israel Jeremy finally spoke."Yes!" Jeremy turned to the contestants and said, "The first task for you all is to make an anti-malaria herbal concoction capable of curing malaria in less than three hours."You have fifteen minutes to complete the task, and your time starts now."Phew!A happy smile appeared on most of the contestants' faces. They couldn't believe such an easy task had been given to them.Owen sneered silently and muttered to himself, "What an easy piece of cake."He turned to look at Roderick in the distance, eager to see him wiped out in the first round.Meanwhile, Roderick was busy at his table, picking one or two leaves to prepare his herbal concoction. He didn't even realize whether anyone was staring at him or not.He gave no f***s about it.The rest of the contestants had begun making their concoctions too. Some of them were even close to completing their task in under seven minutes.It was obvious the task was easier for them all
Chapter 487
What?! The crowd was shocked to learn that Roderick's work was perfect.They had thought that he didn't know what he was doing, which was why he took so much time to make the concoction.Who could have thought that his work would be perfect?At this point, they came to understand that it’s better to move slowly on the right path than to move quickly on the wrong path.Both motions have their results, and individuals could choose whatever pleased them between the two.Raphael, who had expected Roderick's failure, was left in disbelief as Mr. Cross Senior made his final judgment."There's no way he passed the task so easily." Raphael didn't know when the statement slipped out of his mouth.Trent looked at him with a mocking smile and said calmly, "This is just a piece of cake. Stay tuned and watch the other upcoming jaw-dropping scenes."With confidence in Trent's words, Raphael didn't want to believe Roderick was really exceptional, as his master had said.To him, Roderick didn't look

Owen's face frowned slightly as Roderick finished ahead of him. Then, he sneered and muttered to himself, "So what? What if you finish ahead of me? I will definitely take the lead this time and get you kicked out."A minute later, Jeremy's candidate also finished refining his antibiotic pill.Owen wasn't done refining his pill until the 25th minute.Now that each of them had completed their tasks, the crowd waited for the judge's evaluation.Mr. Cross Senior was the first to speak. The first two candidates who completed their tasks earlier were the first to be evaluated.In no time, Mr. Cross Senior ruled them disqualified, as their pills didn’t deserve a passing mark.The first candidate's pill turned out to be something else that couldn’t be considered an antibiotic. As for the second candidate, he had made an antifungal instead of an antibiotic.Mr. Cross Senior moved on to examine Jeremy's candidate’s pill, which was ruled a weak antibiotic.The task they were given was to make an
Chapter 489
Nobody saw such a task coming.Jeremy was equally stunned to hear of the task, yet he seemed very calm about it.Mr. Cross Senior had already become restless at this moment.He was trying to understand why the judge had chosen to announce that particular task out of all the possible ones.The old man couldn't hold it in any longer and had to speak up."Ehm... How about we replace the task with something else?"The third judge turned to look at Mr. Cross Senior and made it clear to him."There is no such option, Mr. Cross. There will be no replacement for this task."Ah!The old man didn’t want to believe his ears until Jeremy added,"Mr. Cross, don’t forget that no one opposed the task you issued earlier. So, I never thought you would oppose this task as well."With a frown, Mr. Cross Senior replied, "I never said I intended to oppose anyone’s task. But this is outrageous. What if something goes wrong for one of the contestants?"The third judge answered plainly, "You don’t have to ju

The crowd had their eyes glued to the contestants as they continued to make their poison.The judges had their eyes fixated on them, too—especially Mr. Cross Senior.He couldn't take his eyes off Roderick. He was paying attention to every ingredient he picked to make his poison.However, given the distance between them, he couldn't catch sight of all the ingredients.The only thing he could tell was that there was full confidence on Roderick's face as he made the poison. That told him he knew what he was doing.Given the fact that his work had been ahead of everyone else's since the contest began, he had been using the best ingredients in all his work.This made Mr. Cross Senior afraid that Roderick would be using the best ingredients for the poison, too.Didn't that mean his grandson would be in danger?Mr. Cross Senior was completely restless.Shifting his gaze from Roderick with a worried mind, he turned to look at his grandson, who only seemed sure of himself on the surface.Meanw
