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

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

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

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

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
