Chapter 133 A Complete Victory
"James, you used three types of herbs, didn't you?"
"You really went all out, aiming straight for my organs. Too bad I can neutralize this poison."
After saying that, he turned around, enduring the pain, and started preparing the antidote. Soon, he was busy with the herbs again.
As Alexander prepared the antidote, he recited the names of the herbs, seemingly to crush James' spirit and put psychological pressure on him.
James ignored him and didn't prepare any antidote. He just sat in his chair, drinking tea, and even poured the hot water used for washing the cup into the porcelain bowl of black soup.
He hummed a tune leisurely, completely unconcerned about the competition or the poison.
"Master, Master, hurry up and prepare the antidote." Seeing James so calm, Daniel shouted anxiously. "The longer you wait, the stronger the poison gets."
Losing didn't matter, and losing the clinic wasn't a big deal either. He was worried about James' health.
"Yeah, Sir, hurry up. Now's not the time to show off."
The other onlookers were also anxious, urging James to prepare the antidote or admit defeat quickly.
The pretty doctor mocked, "He must think he's going to lose, so he doesn't care about making the antidote."
"James, if you don't do something, when the poison kicks in, you'll be in unbearable pain." Alexander continued to taunt James, "Every bone, every inch of your skin, including your organs, will feel like they're being cut with a knife."
"You'll be in so much pain that tears, snot, and blood will mix together as you vomit."
He was very confident in his poison.
James smiled faintly. "Really? I'll wait and see how powerful your poison is."
"Master, did you go easy on him and use too little poison?" Seeing James so carefree, the pretty doctor doubted the potency of the black soup and thought maybe the poison wasn't strong enough.
She took a small sip.
But soon after, she collapsed with a thud.
Her face turned black, and blood oozed from her mouth and nose.
Not long after, she was rolling on the ground, wailing in pain, with tears, snot, and blood mixing together as she vomited.
All the symptoms were exactly as Alexander had described, showing how potent the poison was.
"Oh my!" The middle-aged doctors exclaimed and rushed to her aid, frantically trying to stabilize the poison.
Alexander didn't even look at her. He hadn't detoxified himself yet and had no time to care for his apprentice.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and Alexander finally prepared a bowl of antidote.
At this point, his face was a terrifying shade of blue-black, and his breathing had become rapid, but he still stared at James with a sinister smile. "I've prepared the antidote. Once I drink it, I'll be fine."
"Get ready to lose."
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.
His apprentices were shocked and quickly helped him drink the antidote.
But after finishing the large bowl of antidote, Alexander didn't get better. His face grew even darker.
Then, with two more spurts, he spat out two more mouthfuls of blood.
The situation was dire.
The whole crowd was shocked.
His apprentices were even more stunned. They couldn't believe that their master, who had secretly taken the most potent poison, couldn't neutralize James' poison.
James took a sip of tea and then leaned toward Alexander, asking, "Do you admit defeat?"
Alexander wiped the blood from his mouth, looking at James in disbelief. "This is impossible. I identified the main ingredients. How can I not neutralize it?"
"Your antidote can indeed neutralize the main ingredients I used," James replied calmly. "But you overlooked the fact that I mixed in another herb."
James looked at Alexander playfully. "Stop struggling. Admit defeat."
"I see, I see." Alexander suddenly realized, feeling regretful that he hadn't thought of that.
Then, he remembered something and stared at James in shock. "Why aren't you poisoned?"
James had taken the poison earlier than him, and the black soup he prepared was as deadly as instant death poison. By right, James should have been poisoned and unconscious by now.
'How could he be perfectly fine?'
If he hadn't seen James drink his poison with his own eyes, he would have suspected James of cheating.
Daniel and the others were also shocked, wondering how James could be unharmed. After all, he hadn't even prepared an antidote.
James blew on his tea and smiled. "I neutralized your poison a long time ago."
"Nonsense!" Alexander didn't believe it. "You didn't even prepare an antidote. How could you neutralize it?"
The onlookers were also confused. 'When did James neutralize the poison?'
"I already identified your herbs. Neutralizing the poison was a piece of cake." James tapped the red poison soup he had prepared."Before drinking your black soup, I took a sip of my own red soup. In other words, I poisoned myself first and then used your poison to neutralize it."
James smiled. "This is called fighting poison with poison."
"No, impossible." Alexander coughed and spat out another mouthful of blood, his body shaking as he was about to collapse.
"You failed to neutralize the poison, and I'm perfectly fine. I win this round." James pushed the black soup Alexander had prepared toward him. "Drink it. Our soups are poisons, but they also serve as antidotes to each other."
"You're playing me."Alexander was furious, not believing that the black soup was the antidote.
James didn't waste any words. He grabbed the bowl and poured the remaining soup into Alexander's mouth.
Alexander coughed violently and then vomited a lot of soup, feeling very uncomfortable, but his complexion visibly improved.
Half a minute later, Alexander returned to normal, showing no signs of poisoning.
Seeing this, the middle-aged doctor added hot water to the remaining soup residue and quickly gave it to the dazed female doctor.
Soon, she also coughed a few times and recovered.
It was indeed the antidote.
Daniel and the others were all dumbfounded. If they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they wouldn't have believed that a medical duel could turn out like this.
Especially James, who not only identified Alexander's herbs but also made his poison serve as an antidote. It was truly incredible.
Countless people looked at James in admiration.
"The Master won, the Master won." Daniel cheered.
The onlookers also shouted in unison, "Mr. Williams, Mr. Williams."
The excitement was so intense that it shook the floor of Bright Heart Hall Clinic.
James waved his hand. "Someone, take over the shop."
"Who gave you the guts to take over my father's shop?"
At this moment, a cold voice came from the door, followed by several people in white uniforms appearing.
