Chapter 82
Author: Only For You
Dylan was caught off guard by Francesca's question. Then, he chuckled. "Ms. Aicker, I think you've got it wrong. While Mr. Yates has something to do with my respect for Mr. Lloyd, it's not the main reason."

"So, you're not doing this just to please Mr. Yates?" Francesca pressed, still doubtful.

Dylan scoffed. "I respect Mr. Yates, but I wouldn't grovel before somebody for his sake. Anyway, it's not just me who respects Mr. Lloyd. Even Mr. Yates himself holds him in the highest regard. I can't say much more. All I'll say is, Ms. Aicker, it's best not to dig too deeply into Mr. Lloyd's business."

The cautious look on Dylan's face sent Francesca's mind reeling. The fact that even Marvin, the wealthiest man in Jayrodale, someone with enough influence to command the city, respected Andrew was unbelievable.

If she had heard this from anyone else, she would have dismissed it as pure exaggeration. Yet, the person who said this was the crime lord of South City, an existence that e

    Andrew said coldly, "Just like you said, the other challenges are child's play. If we're going to compete, let's make it thrilling." The sudden chill in his eyes made Mosby instinctively tense. "What kind of challenge?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady. "You'd better spell it out—what exactly are we talking about here?" Since life and death had been brought up, he could not help but feel nervous. Andrew slowly raised a finger and pointed at his forehead, grinning sinisterly. "We're going to test poisons. The rules are simple—you make a bowl of poison, and I make one too. Then, we drink each other's concoction. Whoever's still standing in the end… wins." Before Mosby could even respond, the crowd let out a collective gasp, hairs standing on end. A guy exclaimed, "Drink poison? Is Andrew insane?" "This is practically a death match. He's really pushing Dr. Lake to the edge. Is he so skilled, so fearless, that he sees life and death as a game now? No way—I refuse to be

    On the platform, Mosby and Andrew stood on opposite ends, locked in a silent stare. The original third contender, Thomas, had already left in quiet defeat. Mosby said, "Andrew, a shared first place is a win-win for both of us. Why not just take the prize and walk away happy? That way, we both leave this on a high note." He was still trying to talk Andrew out of the final match. Andrew glanced at him and replied with a light laugh. "Dr. Lake, are you chickening out?" Mosby's face darkened. "Me? Scared? You think that's possible? I'm suggesting this for our benefit. I've seen your skills now—they're no less than mine. But if you want to surpass me, you'd need at least another ten, maybe 20 years." Andrew rolled his eyes, clearly losing patience. "Mosby, quit blowing smoke. You know damn well that when it comes to medicine, you're not even fit to carry my bag." That blatant slap in the face sent Mosby into a rage. His eyes flared, and he roared, "Fine! Then I'll fight you to t

    Andrew declared, "The Grand Medical Summit only has one champion—me!" Each word slammed down like thunder, echoing in every corner of the arena. His voice did not just speak—it struck, like a bolt from the heavens that blasted straight into everyone's ears. Rafael ground his teeth. "This kid's got sky-high ambition. Mosby's in serious trouble." For a moment, even Derek and George looked stunned, caught in a rare daze. They, too, had once been young, full of fire and pride. Yet, they had to admit that Andrew's presence now far surpassed anything they had ever radiated in their prime. George shouted, "Now that's a real man! My family stands behind you, Andy. Even if it takes an eternity, we'll back you until Mosby's buried under your boots!" His beard and hair whipped around wildly as he let out a booming laugh, pledging full support. Derek clapped his hands together, laughing heartily. "Now this is what I wanted from the Grand Medical Summit! This is what true medical pursu

    Preston and Clifford finally came to their senses and burst out laughing. "That's right, Andrew. According to the Grand Medical Summit's rules, only passing the final round determines the outcome. Thomas ranked last in round ten, so naturally, he's eliminated. But you and Dr. Lake both cleared the round, which means rankings don't matter anymore. "In other words, the two of you are officially tied for first place! You don't get to take the full victory for yourself." A glimmer of hope returned to Mosby's face, and the Advanced Medical Institute crowd also perked up, regaining their confidence. Derek stepped forward, furious. "What a load of crap! I declare that Andrew is the true winner of the Grand Medical Summit!" Mosby sneered. "Governor McCormick, this is the medical world's law. If you try to override it with authority, I'm sorry, but I won't recognize it." Preston and Clifford quickly jumped in. "Governor McCormick, it's true. These are the official rules of the summi

    Mosby felt weak all over, and his spirit was completely crushed. He mumbled, "A seventh-grade Imperial Elixir… It really is an Imperial Elixir! H-How could something like this actually exist in the real world?" He growled, "Even if Andrew were the reincarnation of the King of Medicine himself, there's no way his skills should be this monstrous! W-Why did I have to run into someone like him? What's the point of living?" His guttural, agonized roar shook the very roof of the Grand Medical Summit. Moments ago, Mosby seemed unbeatable, and everyone believed he was the one, the uncontested champion. Yet fate had other plans. He met Andrew, and just like that, he lost miserably. Thomas had already walked halfway off the competition platform, but hearing the revelation, he froze in place. "A seventh-grade Imperial Elixir? Andrew actually refined a seventh-grade Imperial Elixir?" No one answered him as they were all too stunned, reeling in disbelief. Then, he saw Mosby sitting on

    "Then I'd love to see if your ending is really any better than mine!" Thomas snapped, his defeat fueling the bitterness he now hurled at Andrew. The sting of failure had clearly twisted his mood, and Andrew became the target of his frustration. Meanwhile, Mosby stood with his hands behind his back, beaming toward the judges' platform. He said proudly, "Clifford, Preston, my fellow peers in medicine. You've all checked this kid's so-called elixir by now, haven't you? If my guess is right, what he made isn't even an elixir—it's just trash, plain and simple." He followed it up with another burst of arrogant laughter. He had noticed earlier that Andrew's cauldron had not released even a trace of medicinal aroma. It was like cooking a meal with no smell coming out—there could only be one conclusion: total failure. Just then, startled voices rose from behind, followed by the sound of hurried shuffling and clattering. "Huh? W-What is this…" Suddenly, Mosby's brow furrowed, wonder
