James had won.
He had won a sweeping victory over Jonathan.
The crowd applauded.
This time, the emcees did not attempt to silence the crowd.
The cheers only stopped after ten minutes.
Jonathan’s earlier smirk was long gone and replaced with an angry frown. He could not believe that anyone would have such an incredible proficiency in medicine. He firmly believed that Jay and the others had conspired together to humiliate him.
“I want another round!”
Jonathan demanded in irritation.
Wearing an unfazed look, James turned to him. “Sure, you’re free to choose anything you want.”
“We’ll concoct a poison just like the earlier against Jay. This time, we’ll increase the number of herbs to ten thousand. We’ll use the ten thousand herbs and create a poison for the other party to consume.”
“Sure.”
James said without the slightest bit of hesitation.
Thea was anxious. She gently pulled at James’ sleeves and whispered, “He might be up to something.”
James lightly waved her away.
Faced against absolute strength, all scheming and petty tricks were irrelevant.
Jonathan continued, “The time to concoct the poison will be extended to an hour. In addition, we will no longer give the other party time to examine the poison. The assistant will consume it immediately.”
James scratched his nose.“I’m Thea’s assistant. Where on earth do I get an assistant of my own?”
He glanced at Thea and asked with a dazzling smile. “Genius Doctor Thea, how about I make the poison, and you consume it? How does that sound?”
Hearing James describe her as a genius doctor, Thea could not help but giggle bashfully.
