Chapter 294: Cormac's Intentions
Matthew and Cormac both concocted highly toxic substances and upon ingestion, symptoms of poisoning appeared immediately.
Lucy and Lachlan collapsed on the ground, showing different symptoms of poisoning.
Matthew quickly crouched down to diagnose Lucy's condition.
Cormac did the same, checking Lachlan's condition.
There were a dozen cameras on the stage.
Every move of Matthew and Cormac was clearly captured.
After a preliminary diagnosis, Matthew quickly began treating Lucy to stop the spread of the toxin.
"Ten minutes."
After the examination, he had a clear understanding in his mind.
An antidote must be prepared within ten minutes to expel the toxin from Lucy's body, or she would be in life-threatening danger.
If the toxin were not neutralized within ten minutes, even if he admitted defeat and Cormac provided the antidote, Lucy's body would suffer devastating damage, leaving many aftereffects.
He quickly went to find the necessary ingredients and started mixing them.
On the other side, Cormac was unhurried. He removed Lachlan's clothes, leaving only his underwear.
At this moment, black spots appeared all over Lachlan's body.
Under the watchful eyes of a global audience, Cormac quickly began treating Lachlan.
As soon as he started, Larry noticed something and couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing Cormac's treatment method, Larry took a deep breath.
"He knows this technique. No matter what the poison is, he can expel it."
Beside him, Chloe couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Bennett, what are you talking about?"
Larry explained, "These are some very advanced medical treatment methods that are very difficult for the average person to learn."
Larry gave a brief explanation.
Chloe wasn't a doctor, so she didn't understand.
Not only Chloe but even doctors with decades of experience might not have heard of these methods.
Because these treatment methods had long been lost, even those who had heard of them might not know them.
Sure enough.
Under Larry's watchful eyes, Cormac used a special treatment method, which was the Three-Finger Technique, a very fast acupressure method.
With the help of these special treatment methods, black toxins gradually surfaced on Lachlan's body, and the black spots on his skin began to fade.
Cormac's treatment method amazed everyone.
On the other side.
Matthew quickly prepared the antidote, unsure if it would work.
Within five minutes, he found the necessary ingredients and administered the antidote to Lucy.
He then used other methods to expel the toxins from Lucy's body.
Although some toxins were expelled, Lucy's condition did not improve.
At this moment, she had already fallen into a coma.
Matthew was a renowned doctor who had never failed in over twenty years.
But Cormac was no ordinary person; the poison he concocted was extremely potent and spread quickly, so quickly that Matthew couldn't neutralize it in a short time.
If the toxin spread more slowly, given some time, he was confident he could develop an antidote.
Time ticked by.
There were only two minutes left of the ten-minute window.
Lachlan's body had almost completely expelled the toxins, and his face had regained its color.
Matthew glanced at Cormac and saw that Cormac had already detoxified Lachlan. He knew he had lost this competition.
He stood up and said, "I admit defeat. I can't neutralize the toxin in such a short time. Please give the antidote quickly."
If he didn't admit defeat and let the toxin spread, Lucy's life would be in danger.
Matthew admitted defeat?
The reigning champion of twenty years, Matthew, admitted defeat?
No one could believe it was true.
They had expected a closely matched contest but didn't anticipate a one-sided crush.
After Matthew admitted defeat, the backstage staff quickly brought the pre-sealed antidote and administered it to Lucy.
After taking the antidote, Matthew checked her pulse and used other treatment methods to clear the toxins from Lucy's body completely.
Soon, Lucy woke up.
"Grandpa."
She weakly and feebly spoke.
Matthew waved his hand slightly.
He looked at Cormac in the distance, clasped his hands, and said, "I admire your medical skills. I lost. You can set the rules for this medical competition."
Cormac waved his hand, interrupting Matthew.
At this moment, he was no longer humble; he became proud, with a touch of arrogance in his expression. "Matthew, I don't agree with you. What medical competition? Is this really about medical skills?"
Matthew frowned.
Cormac looked ahead, facing the cameras, and said loudly, "Actually, I'm not from Summer Nation. I come from Athendonis."
"Our medical skills in Athendonis have been passed down for a long time. When our people came to Summer Nation, they brought medical skills with them, which is why medical skills spread in Summer Nation."
"Today, I am here to prove the medical skills of our country and let everyone recognize this reality."
Cormac said.
"Cormac, you're talking nonsense."
"Our country's medical skills have been passed down for thousands of years. When our medical skills were flourishing, your country didn't even exist."
In the audience, some doctors angrily accused him.
Faced with the accusations, Cormac remained calm, looked at everyone and the media, and said, "What I said is true. Your medical books record countless treatment methods, but our country's doctors didn't pass them on. So in Summer Nation, these are lost medical techniques, but in our country, everyone knows them."
"Next, I will announce the rules for this medical competition."
"The top one hundred ranked individuals will challenge me one by one. If they lose, they must admit that your country's medical skills originated from our country."
"If someone can defeat me, then it's my fault for not being skilled enough, and I will retract my previous statement."
Cormac said.
Finally, he looked at Matthew with disdain and said:
"Matthew, I will give you another chance to challenge me. If you win, I will immediately return to Athendonis. If you lose, you must admit that what you learned is our country's medical skills. You must dissolve the medical association you established or rename it to our country's medical association. You will no longer be qualified to serve as the president of the medical association; that position should be mine."
Cormac's words sparked outrage.
Everyone present was dissatisfied with him.
In the audience, Larry squinted his eyes and smiled faintly, "So this is their plan, to abolish our country's medical skills. They were worried I would show up and cause trouble for them, so they went to great lengths to prevent me from attending this medical competition."
