Chapter 299 Melanie's Request
Larry won.
He crushed Cormac.
He gained the support of the entire audience.
This time, the host did not intervene.
The cheers lasted for a full ten minutes before stopping.
On stage, Cormac's face was dark and terrifying. He couldn't believe someone could be so proficient in herbal medicine. He was convinced that Matthew and the others had conspired to cheat just to beat him.
"Larry, I want to compete with you again," Cormac said coldly.
Larry replied calmly, "Sure, you decide what we compete in."
"Just like the competition with Matthew and me, we'll compete in poison-making. This time, the number of herbs will increase from the previous one thousand to ten thousand. We can mix any of the ten thousand herbs to make poison and give it to the other person."
"Okay," Larry agreed without any hesitation.
Chloe, slightly worried, gently tugged on Larry's sleeve and whispered, "Be careful. It might be a trap."
Larry waved his hand slightly.
In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are useless.
Cormac continued, "This time, the poison-making duration is extended to one hour, and there will be no time for the other person to observe the poison. It will be given directly to the assistant."
Larry touched his nose and said, "I'm Chloe's assistant. I don't even qualify to be called an assistant."
He turned to Chloe and asked with a smile, "Chloe, how about I handle it this time, and you take the poison?"
Chloe, the divine doctor, was amused by Larry.
She was about to speak when Melanie stepped forward, looking at Larry with a pleading expression, and asked, "Can I be your assistant? I'll take the poison for you."
Hearing this, Larry glanced at her and said indifferently, "You should think it through. It is no joke; you could lose your life."
Melanie's face was determined as she said, "I trust you."
Chloe, looking displeased, said, "Host, are you trying to take my place? I don't agree."
Melanie, smiling, said, "Chloe, you're the divine doctor, and Larry is just your assistant. You can just watch and guide him. Leave the small matter of taking the poison to me."
The handsome man in front of her was Black Dragon.
Although there were rumors that Black Dragon was dead, and it was news spread by General Southwild, no one had seen Black Dragon's body.
Melanie, though a celebrity, admired heroes and the national guardian of Summer Nation.
To get close to Larry, she risked her life and stepped forward.
Since Melanie had said so, Chloe couldn't argue with her and just let out a light snort.
"Black Dragon, is that okay?" Melanie asked with a pleading look on her beautiful face.
Larry glanced at Chloe, and seeing that she didn't speak, he nodded slightly, "Okay, but when detoxifying later, I might need to use silver needles, and wearing clothes would hinder my treatment. You should go change into something more suitable, just underwear."
"Okay," Melanie agreed without any hesitation.
Seeing this, the boys in front of the TV were excited.
Melanie was currently the most beautiful and sexy actress in the country, and today, they would see her perfect figure.
The scene was in an uproar.
While Melanie went to change, Pillar Pharmacy was also preparing the herbs needed for the competition.
Ten thousand herbs were a lot, and they needed cabinets to store them properly.
Before the herbs were ready, Melanie returned to the stage in her new outfit.
She wore a white bra and white thong, with her entire body exposed except for her underwear.
She was about five feet tall, with brown hair tied up, revealing her forehead.
Her skin was excellent, and her figure was perfect.
Standing on stage, she created a strong visual impact.
"My goddess."
"The goddess is dressed like this, so sexy, so beautiful."
"I've fallen in love with this bold actress."
The uproar echoed again.
Melanie, holding a microphone, blushed slightly, "Honestly, I've never been this exposed. Even when filming movies, I only showed my back. But for the survival of our medicine and the heritage of Summer Nation's civilization, I have no hesitation."
"Please, viewers, don't scold me, don't call me shameless."
Melanie's words brought roaring laughter.
Chloe couldn't help but glance at Melanie.
Her figure was indeed good, and Chloe couldn't help but compare herself to Melanie.
Cormac, on the other hand, looked grim.
Lachlan, standing nearby, whispered, "Something's not right. Everyone's saying he's Black Dragon."
Cormac, with a stern face, asked, "How is that possible? The real Black Dragon is in the police station, still being interrogated. How could he be Black Dragon?"
"I'm puzzled, too. Could there be two Black Dragons?"
Lachlan was genuinely confused, even suggesting the absurd idea of two Black Dragons.
Cormac took a deep breath and said, "If he didn't cheat in the previous competition, and if he really is Black Dragon, then my chances of losing are high. It would be very detrimental to our plans. If the boss blames us, we're done for."
"The boss is watching from below."
Lachlan glanced down and saw the boss, but the boss remained silent, giving no indication of his thoughts.
"I'll call the police station to confirm."
With that, he left the stage, went backstage, and called the police captain.
"Is Larry still at the police station?"
"Yes, he just finished being interrogated, but he didn't confess to anything, claiming he was framed. But it doesn't matter now; with the evidence we have, it's enough to convict him."
Hearing this, Lachlan breathed a sigh of relief.
He was puzzled again.
Both men were named Larry, and this Larry's medical skills were terrifying?
Who was the real Black Dragon?
He was confused.
He had never seen Black Dragon, but his boss said Chloe's husband was Black Dragon.
He returned to the stage with doubts and whispered, "Confirmed, Black Dragon is still in the police station. He's not Black Dragon, so there is nothing to worry about. Just as you thought, he's definitely their front. In the upcoming competition, if we're careful, we can beat him."
"Let's hope so," Cormac said, taking a deep breath.
There was no other choice now.
Time passed, and soon, half an hour had gone by.
The ten thousand herbs were ready.
At the back of the stage were cabinets with small drawers, each containing herbs labeled with their names.
"The herbs are ready."
"Is this showdown finally about to begin?"
"Even Dr. Rogers lost. Can this man named Larry, suspected to be Black Dragon, really defeat Cormac, the president of Athendonis Medical Excellence Alliance?"
The audience was filled with anticipation.
They eagerly awaited this life-and-death showdown.
The number of herbs increased from one thousand to ten thousand.
The poison-making time extended from half an hour to one hour.
The resulting poison would be deadly, and someone might really die.
