Chapter 291: Shocked the Entire Audience
Larry originally didn't want to intervene; he just wanted to help Chloe from the shadows.
He didn't expect that every doctor participating in the competition could bring an assistant.
Tavish was a doctor from the Lirena Group pharmacy with over forty years of experience. He dealt with medicinal herbs daily, so identifying a hundred types of herbs by smell was not difficult for him.
As long as he had enough time, he could identify them all.
Even if the competition time was ten minutes, he could at least identify thirty or forty types.
His assistant, who had also been in the field for many years, was very knowledgeable about herbs.
In ten minutes, she should be able to identify about ten types of herbs.
And Chloe was a cheater.
An assistant brought by such a person probably wouldn't have any real skills.
Moreover, seeing Larry dressed so neatly, like a gigolo, Tavish was immediately disdainful. In his view, Larry must be one of Chloe's suitors.
On stage, Melanie and Cosimo were hosting the competition.
"I didn't expect the competition to be so fierce right from the start. The doctors aren't participating directly; they're letting their assistants compete."
"Yes, whose assistant is better? Please have the staff put blindfolds on the two assistants."
Soon, staff members came up with blindfolds.
Although Chloe and Tavish did not participate directly in the competition, for fairness, both of them were blindfolded.
Larry and Tavish's female assistant were also blindfolded.
"Two doctors, in front of you, there is a cabinet with a hundred types of herbs, numbered from 1 to 100. Please identify them. After identifying the herbs, write down the names corresponding to the numbers. The time limit is ten minutes, and the one with the higher accuracy wins."
"Are you ready?"
"Ready."
Both of them answered in unison.
"Listen to my command. Three, two, one, start."
As the competition began, Larry was the first to walk to the cabinet with the herbs. He gently lowered his head to sniff, and then continued forward.
He quickly made a round, picked up a pen, and started writing the numbers and answers.
The whole process took less than three minutes.
His opponent, on the other hand, carefully identified the herbs, writing the answers as she went.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
It was time to announce the results.
This medical competition had invited many well-known authorities from various fields, including entrepreneurs, politicians, and philosophers. They were guests and judges.
Under the judges' supervision, Tavish's assistant's answers were verified first.
Out of a hundred types of herbs, in ten minutes, she identified eight by smell.
"That's quite good." Cosimo looked at the results and said with a smile, "So young, and she is able to identify eight types of herbs while blindfolded. She will surely become a famous doctor in the future."
"Of course," Tavish said proudly, "She is my favorite student, with a high talent for medicine. She is already very skilled."
Chloe was very nervous. She looked at the calm Larry and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Larry gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry."
Melanie continued, "Now, let's verify Chloe's assistant's answers."
Cosimo held Larry's answers.
As Cosimo announced the answers, many famous doctors in the audience stood up in shock.
They had seen Larry's answering process. He spent no more than three seconds in front of each herb.
Some herbs had very faint scents, which couldn't be identified in three seconds. Now, with the answers announced up to number 56, Larry had gotten them all right.
After reading the last answer, Cosimo took a deep breath and glanced at Larry on stage.
"Impossible."
Tavish was the first to voice his doubt, "He cheated."
Larry glanced at Tavish and said calmly, "Tavish, are you questioning the fairness of this medical competition? With so many media, cameras, ten thousand live audience members, and millions of viewers in front of their TVs, are you saying I cheated?"
"You must have cheated. You're so young; how could you identify so many herbs by smell alone and how could you do it so quickly? Even with your eyes open, you couldn't be that fast."
Tavish didn't believe it.
He couldn't believe that someone as young as Larry could have such formidable skills in medicine.
Melanie said, "Since the opponent has raised a doubt, let's have the judges check his blindfold for any tampering."
Larry's blindfold was brought to the judges' table.
The judges checked it one by one, and there was no problem with the blindfold.
"Now, I announce that in the first round, Chloe wins."
As the result was announced, the crowd was in an uproar.
Who would have thought that Chloe, who got on the list by cheating, could win the first round?
"Who is Chloe's assistant?"
"He's a stranger."
"Never seen him before."
"No, he's not a stranger. Isn't he Larry from The Serpent Group?"
"What, Larry from The Serpent Group? Black Dragon Larry? Didn't Black Dragon die?"
Larry's appearance had been seen online before, and with his identity exposed, many people remembered him. Now, recalling it, they were all shocked.
"Black Dragon? How is that possible?"
"Rumor has it that Black Dragon is highly skilled in medicine. This explains it."
In the audience, various exclamations arose.
Melanie was about to announce the next round.
But she received a message from the backstage staff.
Hearing the staff's words through her earpiece, she was slightly stunned and began to tremble.
She turned to look at Larry standing with Chloe, her face slightly red and excited, "Excuse me, sir, are you Larry?"
Larry didn't expect to be exposed so soon.
He touched his nose and said, "Yes."
"Are you Larry from The Serpent Group?"
"What Serpent Group? I'm Chloe's assistant."
"Then are you Black Dragon Larry?"
Melanie questioned him directly.
This scene was broadcast live.
The whole nation was shocked.
What was going on?
Why would the host suddenly ask if Chloe's assistant was Black Dragon? Didn't Black Dragon die in Cedar Grove?
Larry smiled faintly and said nothing more.
He took Chloe's hand and walked towards the backstage rest area.
Chloe's body trembled slightly as her hand was held. She wanted to refuse, but her heart didn't. Under countless gazes, they left hand in hand.
In the audience.
Many doctors looked serious.
Black Dragon?
Is he really Black Dragon?
They knew of Black Dragon.
But they only knew he was very powerful and skilled in medicine. No one had seen him demonstrate his skills, nor did they know how good he really was.
Now, with Larry's display, his identity as Black Dragon was exposed.
Backstage, in the rest area.
Lachlan and Cormac, who were preparing for the competition, looked serious.
Lachlan was puzzled, "How is it possible? How could he be Black Dragon?"
Cormac asked, "Lachlan, what's going on?"
Lachlan immediately called the police station to inquire, but the result was that Larry was still in the detention room and hadn't left.
He waved his hand slightly and said, "Larry is still in the police station. This isn't Black Dragon."
Hearing this, Cormac relaxed.
