Chapter 292 Dissatisfaction with the Competition Rules
As for the rumors circulating outside, Lachlan and Cormac were well aware of them.
The assistant now appearing beside Chloe was the chairman of The Serpent Group, and recently, there were rumors that the chairman of The Serpent Group was Black Dragon.
But they knew that he wasn't Black Dragon.
The real Black Dragon was Larry, the son-in-law of the Lewis family. They just had the same name.
And now Black Dragon was being held in a detention cell.
Lachlan specifically called the police station to inquire and confirmed that Larry was indeed detained and had not been released.
"Proceed as planned," Lachlan glanced at Cormac.
Cormac nodded, a hint of gloom flashing in his expression, "After today, there will be no more Medical Association in the Summer Nation, and my Athendonis Medical Excellence Alliance will enter the Summer Nation. In a few years, we will dominate the Summer Nation's pharmaceutical market. By then, we can control the entire population of the Summer Nation with medicine. Controlling the Summer Nation is equivalent to controlling the world."
Lachlan said calmly, "Today, we can only succeed, not fail."
"Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Cormac promised confidently.
Backstage, in the resting area.
Larry walked in, holding Chloe's hand.
As soon as they arrived at the resting area, Chloe quickly pulled her hand away from Larry's, her face blushing.
Larry smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I offended you."
"It's okay." Chloe was very nervous, using her hand to tidy her hair to cover her nervousness.
She couldn't help but look at Larry.
It was a flawless face with sharp features, so handsome and charming. She was deeply attracted to Larry's face and aura.
She thought Black Dragon was already dead.
Unexpectedly, he was still alive.
And now her husband Larry had committed a crime and was already in prison. She was also considering a divorce.
"I've thought about what you said to me last time."
"What is it?"
Larry looked at Chloe.
Seeing Chloe's very red face and shy expression, he was puzzled. What did he say to Chloe last time?
Did he say something special?
Chloe lowered her head and said softly, "Last time, you said that as long as I divorced my husband, Larry, you would marry me."
Larry was stunned, then reacted and nodded, "Yes, I think I did say that."
Chloe took a deep breath and mustered the courage to say, "My husband Larry committed a crime, drugged and raped a young girl. The situation is serious, and the trial is tomorrow. He will be sentenced to at least 20 years. After he goes to prison, I will apply for a forced divorce."
Larry frowned.
He didn't expect Chloe not to believe him and think he really did it.
She even wanted to apply for a forced divorce.
Hearing this, he felt very uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath.
Putting himself in her shoes, no woman could accept this.
"We'll talk about this later."
Larry sat in the resting area, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked quietly.
On the stage, the competition continued.
However, at this moment, the two hosts received a message.
Melanie interrupted the competition, looking at the audience and the many media outlets with an apologetic expression, "Dear audience, we are very sorry, but we have encountered a situation and have to stop the competition."
"What happened?"
The whole audience was shocked.
What situation had arisen during the competition?
Melanie continued, "We just received a message that someone is dissatisfied with the rules of our competition. This person is Dr. Cormac from Silvermoon Apothecary. Now, let's invite Cormac to the stage."
As the voice fell, Cormac appeared on the stage.
Facing the audience and the cameras, he looked calm.
Cosimo asked, "Cormac, if you have any dissatisfaction with the rules of this medical competition, feel free to bring it up."
Cormac took the microphone handed to him by the staff and said, "I am very dissatisfied with the rules of this medical competition. Competing one by one? How long will it take? I suggest that the top 100 contestants compete together."
Melanie replied with a smile, "Cormac, these rules were discussed and agreed upon by many medical institutions. It's impossible to change the rules just because of your dissatisfaction."
"Is that so?"
Cormac smiled faintly and pointed to Matthew, who was sitting in the front row, "Rules are made by the strong. How about this? I challenge Dr. Rogers. If I win, I get to decide the rules of this competition."
According to previous rules, only the last person standing had the right to challenge Dr. Rogers.
All the cameras focused on Matthew.
Everyone was waiting for Matthew's response.
Larry also knew what was happening on stage.
He brought Chloe over and sat in the front row, watching Cormac on stage.
He had long known that Cormac and others would take action.
But he didn't know what exactly they wanted to do.
Even now, he still didn't know.
Under countless gazes, Matthew stood up, walked onto the stage, looked at Cormac, and with a smile on his aged face, said, "Cormac, if you are dissatisfied with the current competition rules, there's no need to challenge me. I didn't make the rules; they were made collectively. Even if you beat me, I don't have the authority to change the rules."
"Then let's ask everyone's opinion."
Cormac looked at the many big figures from various groups below the stage.
Legion Lord Leo, Kelly from the Everlife Group, Tom from the Lirena Group, and others.
These people were the leaders of the pharmaceutical groups in Sunset City, and the rules were made collectively by them.
At this moment, they gathered together to discuss the matter.
After discussing for more than ten minutes, they finally reached a conclusion.
After receiving the response, Melanie said, "Cormac, after discussion, the groups have agreed to your challenge. If you can defeat Dr. Rogers, you can decide the rules of this competition. As for the rules of your competition with Dr. Rogers, you two can discuss them yourselves."
Matthew promptly said, "Since Cormac proposed it, he can decide the rules of our competition."
Cormac immediately said, "I won't bully you. Let's compete in what you are good at."
He looked at Matthew.
The competition hadn't even started, and the tension was already high.
Cormac's objection to the competition rules delayed the progress of the medical competition, but for the audience, it was an exciting event.
Matthew! He had held the title of the best doctor for twenty years.
He hadn't competed for many years. Seeing Matthew's medical skills at the beginning of the competition was definitely the most important event of this medical competition.
"Okay, I agree."
Under many gazes, Matthew said calmly.
"Alright, let me explain the detailed rules."
With a sly smile, Cormac said, "Both sides will prepare poisons and administer them to each other or to someone the other trusts. After administering the poison, we will use our medical skills and the antidotes we prepare to detoxify. The first to complete the detoxification wins. Three rounds will determine the winner, and the one who survives wins."
As soon as he said this, the whole audience was shocked.
Even Matthew was stunned by this method of competition.
Cormac continued, "Dr. Rogers, you should think carefully. This competition could be dangerous, but if you concede during the competition, the other side will provide the antidote."
"Okay, I accept."
Matthew looked at Cormac and nodded slightly.
As soon as he said this, the whole audience erupted.
This medical competition was more exciting than any previous one.
