Chapter 295: Public Outrage
On stage, Cormac looked at Matthew and said word by word, "Matthew, do you have any doubts about what I said?"
Matthew frowned, his face heavy with concern.
He had long known that Cormac was from Athendonis.
He also knew that this person was native from the Summer Nation but had immigrated to Athendonis. He had never expected that Cormac would come to this medical conference with such intentions.
In terms of poison mixing and detoxification, he indeed was not as skilled as Cormac.
"Matthew, speak up. You learned a bit of our country's medical skills and now think they belong to your country. You even established a medical association. I'll give you one more chance to challenge me. If you fail again, disband the medical association or rename it to our country's medical association. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so"
Cormac was aggressive.
"Dr. Rogers, what's the harm in accepting his terms?"
"Our medical skills are a cultural heritage of the Summer Nation. How can we let someone like him slander them?"
"I don't believe that with so many doctors on Sunset City Medical Street, we can't surpass him."
Many doctors stood up, urging Matthew to agree.
Matthew looked at the people below the stage.
He knew that many of them were naturally dissatisfied with Cormac, and also some had been bribed by Cormac to force him to agree. If he agreed and lost again, he would be a sinner to the Summer Nation.
Cormac spoke again, "What's wrong? Are you afraid?"
"Cormac, you are out of line," Lucy couldn't stand it anymore. Her pale, pretty face showed her displeasure as she said, "That's just your opinion. No one will believe you."
"That's not true." Cormac was well-prepared for this.
He said something to Lachlan.
And Lachlan left the stage.
Everyone looked at him angrily, wondering what he was up to.
A few minutes later, Lachlan returned, holding a lot of items.
Cormac first opened a book and said, "This is an order from the leader of Athendonis, commanding our country's doctors to go to the Summer Nation to teach medical skills."
"You're talking nonsense."
"Cormac, stop that nonsense and get out of here. You are not welcome in Sunset City."
Many people below the stage started cursing.
The two hosts had remained silent throughout.
So much had happened that they didn't know what to say.
But at this moment, after hearing Cormac's words, they couldn't stay that way any longer.
Melanie, with a look of displeasure, said coldly, "I didn't expect you, Cormac, to be so good at faking things. You are even fabricating ancient documents."
Cormac remained unfazed and took out another book, saying, "This is our country's history book, which clearly records the events of some doctors from the Summer Nation coming to our country to learn medical skills."
He kept presenting so-called evidence.
But all the evidence was absurd and laughable.
Even someone liked Matthew couldn't stand it anymore and angrily said, "Cormac, stop it. If you continue, I'm afraid the audience will lose control and take action against you."
Cormac burst into laughter.
"Take action against me? That's ridiculous. Even if you beat me to death here, it won't change the fact that your country's medical skills originated from ours. Even if I die, Athendonis will have countless doctors standing up to prove our country's medical skills to the world, showing that your country's medical skills come from ours."
"Hit me. I won't resist."
"If you want to challenge me in medical skills, as long as it's related to our country's medical skills, I'll accept. If I lose, I'll immediately apologize, go back to Athendonis, and never set foot in the Summer Nation again."
Cormac's excessive behavior angered many people.
But these doctors didn't dare to speak up.
After all, Cormac had shown terrifying skills, and even Matthew had been defeated miserably. Competing with Cormac would be a losing battle.
"So, what now?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Is it so hard to admit that your country's medical skills originated from ours?"
"This is the truth. Why don't you admit it?"
"If you don't dare to compete, then disband the medical association."
Cormac was relentless.
The leaders of various groups below the stage looked serious, discussing countermeasures.
The two hosts also received instructions.
Melanie said, "Cormac, please wait a moment. We need time to discuss this and will give you an answer in half an hour."
"Okay," Cormac nodded and said, "I'll go rest for half an hour and come back."
He left the stage with Lachlan.
Matthew also left the stage; he gathered with many authoritative figures in the medical field and some big names from pharmaceutical companies to discuss countermeasures.
Larry had remained silent throughout, sitting quietly below the stage, watching Cormac's performance.
Chloe was beside him.
After watrmac's detoxification process, she couldn't help but think of someone.
Her husband, Larry.
Last time at Maple Grove Mansion, when Abigail was attacked and poisoned by a poisonous snake, her husband had used similar methods to remove the toxins from Abigail.
Her husband Larry had always been confident about making a name for himself at the medical conference.
But when such an incident happened, Larry was imprisoned, unable to attend this medical conference.
If Larry were here, she believed he could definitely compete with Cormac.
Meanwhile, the internet was already in an uproar.
People across the country were cursing Cormac and Athendonis for being shameless.
Half an hour passed quickly.
After the discussion, everyone decided to accept the challenge.
Then, Cormac returned to the stage, staring at the people below, and asked, "So, have you finished discussing?"
Host Melanie said, "Cormac, after our discussion, we decided to accept your challenge. Since you defeated Matthew and became the rule-maker for this competition, what are the rules for the next round? You name it."
"Alright."
Cormac said loudly, "My rules are simple. The person challenging me should bring out their best skills to do that. Anyone is fine by me. I don't care. In short, we'll compete in what you're best at. I want you all to lose and admire me."
"If I lose to anyone, I'll immediately apologize and go back to Athendonis, and I swear I'll never come to the Summer Nation again."
"But if I win all the matches, you must disband the medical association. Or, you can rename it to our country's medical association, with me as the president. You must also publicly acknowledge that your country's medical skills originated from ours."
The two hosts nodded after hearing the detailed rules.
Cosimo said, "Alright, we'll follow your rules. But this is no longer just a medical skills exchange; it has become a battle for cultural and civilizational heritage. Does this mean that any doctor from the Summer Nation can challenge you?"
"Yes."
Cormac nodded, turning to the camera, and said, "If anyone watching the live broadcast thinks they are skilled enough, they can also come and challenge me."
