Meanwhile, Quinton lowered his phone, his face clouded with rage.

Shawn sneered. "I told you Dominic was unreliable. You should've known he'd let you down."

Quinton scoffed. "Anyone can throw shade after the fact. If he was worthless, then what exactly could you have done better?"

Shawn looked like he had swallowed poison. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

"Damn it," Quinton growled. "Dominic didn't just screw up—he lost his position as family head. Find out exactly what happened. I want details, and I want them now!"

He had invested serious hopes in Dominic, and to watch it all collapse this fast felt like a drop from heaven straight into hell.

Christina spoke up, her voice cool and calm. "No need to investigate. I already know what happened."

Quinton turned toward her. "Ms. Stevens, go ahead. I'm listening."

Christina said plainly, "Everything started with Andrew. He pulled strings and leveraged his connections to rally over half of Jayrodale's powerhouses. T

    In front of Andrew was a pile of various items. At a quick glance, there were pieces of horn, bones, and some dark, lumpy objects. He immediately understood that this round was testing a doctor's ability to identify medicinal substances and distinguish toxic materials. It was not exactly difficult, but it was definitely designed to be tricky and misleading. After a brief inspection, Andrew picked out a bone and a dark, knobby lump. While unremarkable at first glance, this lump was actually a highly toxic tree root. The examiner standing in front of him raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised at Andrew's speed. He had barely paused before picking out the correct items. The old, bald examiner let out a low whistle and gave Andrew a thumbs-up. "Not bad, kid. One word—impressive!" Andrew smiled, replying modestly, "Thanks, it's just a bit of good luck." The examiner muttered to himself as he scribbled on his clipboard. 'This kid had seemed cocky earlier, but maybe he actually has

    Jared glanced over at Andrew, letting out a bitter laugh. "Well, look at that. You actually managed to beat me this time. Guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while." Andrew just rolled his eyes. If this were a competition for speed alone, he would have crushed Jared from the very first round. However, rushing ahead for the sake of being first was pointless. Only someone as desperate for attention as Jared would care about such empty gestures. It was like those students who smugly handed in their tests first, thinking they were the smartest, when in reality, the real champions were the ones who ended up with the highest scores. The competition continued into the third and fourth rounds, steadily thinning the herd.By the end of the fourth round, fewer than 40 contestants remained, which meant ten contestants had been eliminated. The tension in the crowd grew palpable. Someone exclaimed, "My palms are sweating! I just hope that cute girl I'm rooting for can hang in

    On the VIP platform, Preston and Clifford glanced over at Derek, asking, "Mr. McCormick, is there any particular contestant you have your eye on?" Derek chuckled. "Our Gabo Creek Province is full of talented individuals. Of course, I'm keeping an eye on a few." The two elders straightened their backs, their expressions turning smug. "We imagine the contestant you have in mind must be one of our Advanced Medical Institute students, right?" Derek shook his head. "No, actually. The one I'm interested in is that contestant from earlier—his name is Andrew Lloyd." Preston and Clifford's faces immediately darkened. They scoffed and replied, "Then I'm afraid you might be mistaken, Mr. McCormick. That boy has no right to stand alongside our Advanced Medical Institute students, much less challenge someone like Mosby.Just watch—you'll see soon enough." They had only brought it up to confirm whether Derek's attention was focused on their side. Hearing that his interest lay elsewhere, th

    Andrew asked, "Then what's the point of calling it a championship or a crown if the title can just be shared?" Preston and Clifford let out a cold, furious laugh. "Oh? And what do you propose instead?" Andrew's voice rang out confidently. "Simple. If multiple contestants make it through all ten rounds, the competition shouldn't just stop there. There should be additional rounds, pushing the limits further, until every other contestant has been eliminated, leaving only one true champion. "Only then can you truly call that person the first-place winner, the sole bearer of the Grand Physician title, and the sole recipient of the grand prize." Preston and Clifford's faces hardened. They could not believe Andrew thought he could be the last one standing. Did he truly have that much confidence? From across the stage, Mosby burst into mocking laughter, clapping his hands loudly."Wonderful! Simply wonderful! An arrogant fool spouting the most absurd nonsense. Andrew, I'll be righ

    Aspen and Lauren exchanged a weary glance. Both women understood that this kind of bold, reckless attitude was just part of Andrew's nature. He was not trying to intimidate anyone—this was simply who he was. Chantelle, sitting beside Derek, was practically grinding her teeth in frustration. She growled, "That bastard! The competition hasn't even started, and he's already making enemies left and right!" Derek, however, just chuckled. "Elders, why not just give the young man an answer? I have to admit, he makes a good point." Meanwhile, in another section of the stands, Quinton let out a scornful laugh. "What a clown. He's got no real skills, so he's resorting to playing the fool." Christina, who had been silent until now, sneered. "With Dr. Lake and the Advanced Medical Institute here, he's just waiting to get crushed. Let's see how long his bravado lasts." On the other hand, Yara calmly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. "I don't know. I think Andrew's just be

    The one who had just shouted was none other than Andrew. Thomas immediately snapped at him. "Andrew, what do you think you're doing? If you embarrass Blumedale Hospital, I won't let you off easily!" Andrew ignored him, keeping his hand raised high. … Up in the VIP stands, Aspen and Lauren exchanged confused glances. "What's Dr. Lloyd doing? Does he need a bathroom break?" "I'm not sure… Maybe his back is acting up?" "His back? Why would you say that, Ms. Stevens?" "Oh, um… just a random guess. He did look pretty worn out last night, after all." ... One of the Advanced Medical Institute elders, Clifford, frowned as he looked down at the bold figure standing in the center of the stage. "Contestant, what is your issue?" Andrew's voice rang out clearly. "I believe the competition rules have a flaw." The crowd erupted into whispers. They all wondered who Andrew was for being so bold to question the rules before the match had even started. In another section of the

    The announcer's voice echoed through the stadium, the microphone crackling as he called for the next wave of competitors. "Now, would the representatives from the Advanced Medical Institute and Dr. Mosby Lake, please enter the arena! "Would the representatives from each of the provincial hospitals, please enter the arena! "Would the representatives from Gabo Creek's various clinics and medical centers, please enter the arena!" … Andrew looked around as more and more medical practitioners stepped onto the competition platform. Though Blumedale Hospital, Mosby, and the Advanced Medical Institute were the main contenders for the championship, many skilled doctors from across Gabo Creek Province fought their way through the preliminary rounds to stand here today. Soon, all 50 contestants had gathered on the platform. Every single one of them was a well-known medical expert in their own right, except for Andrew, whose reputation was still largely unknown. Only a handful of peop

    Andrew simply chuckled. At that moment, the loudspeaker crackled to life. "Now entering the arena—the Blumedale Hospital team!" Immediately, led by Thomas, Andrew, Francesca, and Jared stepped onto the stage. The Grand Medical Summit was being held in Blumedale's largest stadium. All four sides of the arena were packed with spectators, and a large platform, spacious enough for 50 competitors to battle it out, had been set up in the center. Thunderous applause filled the air, echoing off the stadium walls. Blumedale Hospital held a special place in the hearts of Gabo Creek province's residents, and their supporters were out in full force. Someone said, "Look, that's Dr. Thomas Bozzelli, one of the top physicians at Blumedale Hospital. He's a respected expert in our province." "Behind him is his star student, Dr. Jared Bridges. I've heard his skills are impressive." Another chimed in, "And that beautiful, doll-faced woman beside them is Dr. Goddard's student. She's said

    Someone commented, "Look, the two elders sitting up front in the center are the senior masters from the Advanced Medical Institute. Both of them are renowned physicians, true medical legends!" Another chimed in, "Looks like the championship this year is as good as theirs again.""If it's not the Advanced Medical Institute, then it'll be Mosby. No one else stands a chance." "I heard Blumedale Hospital has some new medical genius on their side this time.It might not be so clear-cut after all!" The crowd around the Grand Medical Summit buzzed with chatter, their voices blending into a chaotic hum of debates and predictions. As soon as Andrew arrived, Francesca rushed over to meet him. "Andrew, Dr. Goddard and Dr. Bozzelli have already arrived. They're just waiting for you!" Andrew grinned. "Fran, you've gotten even curvier. Every time you run, they practically bounce." Francesca's cheeks flushed, and she shot him an annoyed glare. "Stop messing around—the summit is about to s
