Leonard flew into rage. “I can’t believe that you let a hospital cleaner sit with us! Mr. Harrison, are you looking down on us? Since Eastshire doesn’t attach importance to this conference, there’s no reason to continue this conference anymore!”
After Leonard finished speaking, he walked away. The others also got up one after another, preparing to leave with Leonard. Seeing this, Mr. Harrison started to panic. Once those people left, they wouldn’t be able to continue with the conference.
Just then, Matthew said, “We who study medicine always let our ability speak for us. It doesn’t matter where you sit. What’s important is how many people can be treated and how many illnesses can be cured. Are you all in a hurry to leave because you’re afraid of losing to me and you’re scared to be embarrassed?”
His words instantly enraged the crowd, while Leonard pointed at Matthew and growled, “Boy, nobody has dared to speak to me like that in years! You’re the most arrogant person I’ve met in my entire life! Judging by what you said, are you challenging me?”
Matthew shook his head and replied, “I have no intention of challenging you!”
Leonard’s subordinates immediately started yelling at him. “F*ck! If you don’t have the courage to challenge our master, what’s with all this nonsense?”
“He’s right. You act so arrogantly but in the end you’re just a coward.”
At that moment, everyone looked at Matthew with derision.
With a calm expression, Matthew replied, “A man like you is not qualified to challenge me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience went wild. Even the best doctor in the country didn’t dare to speak to Leonard so arrogantly. Has Matthew gone mad?!
Leonard was so furious, he chuckled instead. “Boy, you really are boastful! You said that I’m not qualified to challenge you. Well then, can you tell me who is?”
Matthew sneered, “Stop trying to lure me into your trap. Leonard, if you’re really afraid of losing to me, there’s still time for you to leave!”
Leonard was infuriated. “Me? Lose to you? Matthew, you really are big-headed! Very well, I’ll stay here and compete with you today. I dare you to make a bet with me. We’ll compete one-on-one. If I win, I will kill you!”
Matthew frowned. “Leonard, this is the first time we’re meeting and we have no grudges against each other. Don’t you think it’s too much to bet our lives?”
Leonard sneered, “Are you afraid?”
A cold expression appeared on Matthew’s face. “Leonard, I know that you look down on everyone because of your great medical skills. The fact that you dared to bet your life means that you know that you’ll definitely win. You just want me dead!”
Leonard didn’t deny it because he had always been arrogant and ruthless. After hearing Matthew shame him, he naturally wanted him dead.
Matthew continued, “However, I think there’s no need to bet lives in such an elegant venue. How about this? Leonard, do you dare to compete one-on-one with me? If you lose, you have to apologize to Dr. Ellis! If you win, I’ll apologize to you. What do you think?”
Dr. Ellis was startled because he never thought that Matthew would help him win some reputation back. At that moment, he was deeply touched and his respect for him deepened.
With a cold expression, Leonard roared, “Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge me? You’re comparing a beggar to a wealthy man here. Do you think the apologies from both of them have the same value?”
Matthew replied indifferently, “In my eyes, there is no distinction between the noble and the inferior!”
Leonard sneered, “But in my eyes, they do! Only the poor will fight for equality!”
Matthew glared at him and said, “Leonard, you are so arrogant! In that case, I will compete with you. If you win today, my life will be at your disposal! However, if you lose, you’ll have to get on your knees and apologize to Dr. Ellis. Do you agree?!”
Hearing this, Dr. Ellis started to worry and he hurriedly said, “Mr. Larson, you can’t do that! You can’t bet your life! Bet with mine! If you lose, I’ll put my life at his disposal!”
