Chapter 79 He is the One Who Lost
Competing in medical skills was a classic way to settle disputes in the medical world. Two doctors would treat the same condition at the same time, and whoever fixed it faster and better would win!
The Nine Blossom Acupuncture Techniques were a legacy from the master. It needed nine needles, but the trick was in the varying force, depth, and sequence of each needle, making the effects unpredictable and unique.
Soon enough, two patients with stomach issues were picked from the crowd.
Aaron, with one hand behind his back, said with a smirk, "It's an old tradition. David, you're the senior here, so you pick first, haha!"
David, still with blood at the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "No need. You're younger, you pick first. That way, you can't say I was unfair if I win and you must fulfill the bet!"
Aaron squinted, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "David, you still don't get it. I'll let you pick first, then I'll take yours. After all, we have experience."
"You!" David's face turned red with anger, almost spitting out more blood.
Fergus shook his head. A witch doctor relied entirely on state of mind, and an unstable mind was the worst. Aaron had been provoking David since he walked in, clearly trying to mess with David's head.
He said slowly, "David, stay calm!"
Aaron suddenly looked at Fergus. He knew he was provoking David to increase his chances of winning, but Fergus saw right through him. He said coldly, "You, after I deal with David, I'll deal with you!"
Saying this, he grabbed a patient. "You, lie down!"
The patient reluctantly lay on the bed.
David looked at Fergus, nodded slightly, then took a deep breath and looked at the other patient. "Please lie down, I'll treat you!"
The patient said excitedly, "It's an honor to be treated by you. Come on, David!"
"Go, David!"
"Go, mentor!"
"You will win!"
The surrounding patients and doctors also cheered for David.
The patients lay down.
David and Aaron picked up their silver needles at the same time.
Ten minutes later, Aaron, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said, "How about drinking chili water?"
David frowned and said, "They've had stomach problems for a long time. One acupuncture treatment will indeed improve it significantly, but their stomach can't be strongly stimulated. They can't drink chili water. We can judge with alternating warm and cold water."
Even a healthy person couldn't handle chili water, let alone someone with a stomach problem.
Drinking cold water and then hot water, repeating several times, and then judging based on the situation!
"A doctor should have a benevolent heart. How can you make someone with a stomach problem drink chili water? What's your intention?"
"With this, you dare to compete with David in medical skills? The level difference is too great!"
"You will definitely lose!"
The people around couldn't help but discuss.
"Haha!" Aaron didn't care at all. Instead, he laughed arrogantly. "David, did you forget? The more you don't want me to do something, the more I will do it. Today, you are destined to lose! Someone, give him chili water!"
Hearing Aaron's order, the bodyguards immediately brought chili water, held down the patient on the bed, and poured it into his mouth. No matter how the patient struggled, they still poured in half of it.
"How can you call yourself a doctor? You're worse than a bastard!" David trembled with anger, wanting to stop but lacking the strength.
Aaron picked up the remaining half bowl of chili water and handed it to David. "For fairness, pour it!"David looked troubled.
The patient said, "David, I trust you. I'll drink!"
After saying this, he grabbed the chili water and drank it. But after drinking half of it, his stomach spasmed from the spiciness, his face twisted in pain, and he couldn't help but scream.
David immediately said, "Bring vinegar, quick!"
Vinegar could neutralize the spiciness and relieve some of the pain.
"Stop!" Aaron said coldly, "Don't worry about him, you should worry about yourself. You lost. From now on, your life is mine!"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Aaron. Then they instinctively looked at the patient beside him. They were all stunned.
Because the patient was sitting on the bed wiping his mouth, looking only angry, not in pain. He wasn't affected by the spiciness!
The patient, seeing everyone looking at him, was also confused and said in surprise, "I don't seem to feel the spiciness. I just feel my stomach is warm. Could it be that my stomach problem is cured?"
"Impossible!" David blurted out in astonishment, "Stomach problems are chronic and need time to heal. It can't be cured so quickly, absolutely impossible!"
Aaron sneered. "If you're not as skilled, don't make excuses. Coward, you lost! Your worthless life isn't worth taking. How about this, go to the road outside, kneel, and beg me, then say: I am a coward!"
Letting David die would be too easy. He wanted David to live in shame for the rest of his life.
"This is absolutely impossible!" David still didn't believe it and quickly went to check the situation. His eyes widened more and more, and in an instant, he seemed to age ten years, retreating in despair because the stomach problem was indeed cured!
At this moment, the surrounding patients and doctors were all shocked. It seemed David had indeed lost!
No one expected that the renowned doctor of Tarynville, David, would lose!
David's tears flowed. For decades, he had been thinking of revenge every moment, but now, with his enemy standing before him, he had no power to avenge and was instead humiliated!
Decades of bitterness surged in his heart.
Aaron sneered. "I remember you cried when you saw me and Willow making love. Your tears are really worthless. But even if you cry to death, I won't sympathize. Go kneel and beg me. Of course, if you don't want to kneel, I have ten thousand ways to make you kneel!"
After saying this, he laughed triumphantly. As long as David knelt, not only would he be known as the doctor who defeated the renowned doctor of Tarynville, but the success rate of InfiniCure Biotech's bid tonight would also be higher to him. And he could keep David under his thumb for life!
"Fine, fork it over!" David walked out in despair.
"David, I'll kneel for you!"
"I'll kneel for you too!"
"Me too!"
The surrounding patients and doctors all knelt. Although it couldn't change the fact that he lost, they could help David bear it!
In an instant, a crowd knelt.
"It doesn't count!" Aaron said heavily, "Even if you all kneel to death, it's useless. I want David. Coward, go kneel!"
"Quick!" The last word was almost shouted.
"Thank you all for your kindness, but get up. I'll kneel!" David's voice sounded like an old man at the end of his life, tears flowing more and more as he walked outside.
"I understand." At this moment, Fergus suddenly realized. He had been wondering why the same acupuncture technique had such different effects. He finally understood and shouted, "David, you don't need to kneel. You didn't lose! Aaron is the one who lost!"
