Chapter 300: This Poison, No Cure
A pinnacle medical showdown was finally about to begin.
It was a battle for the legacy of civilization.
If Larry lost, he would have to admit that our medical skills originated from their country.
And Cormac could take this opportunity to promote their medical techniques.
This competition could only be won, not lost.
The host, Cosimo, asked, "Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Ready."
Larry and Cormac nodded simultaneously.
"Three, two, one, start the timer."
As the timer started, Cormac quickly sprang into action, beginning to search for the herbs he needed, while Lachlan followed him, the two of them quietly discussing and searching for herbs.
There were many types of herbs this time, over ten thousand.
With over ten thousand herbs, the combinations for poisons were endless.
They needed to create a highly toxic poison, one that was difficult to find an antidote for and hard to treat.
Meanwhile, Larry was casually walking in front of the herb cabinet.
An hour was a long time; he could take his time.
Soon, he looked through all the herbs, and after understanding them, he had a plan in mind and began to gather them.
Gathering, grinding, and mixing the herbs proceeded slowly.
An hour passed quickly.
"Time's up, please stop."
Cosimo's voice echoed.
As he spoke, the hearts of the audience were all on edge.
Time was up; had the poison been made?
Larry and Cormac both stopped.
Cosimo spoke again, "Please proceed to make the antidote."
Cormac stepped forward and said, "Sorry, but the poison I made this time is incurable. I can't make an antidote, and the poison I concocted is highly toxic. Once ingested, the toxin will spread throughout the body in one minute, and death will occur within three minutes."
The audience gasped.
It was brutal.
Cormac continued, "This is a competition, and I don't want you to die from the poison. If you are willing to admit defeat and acknowledge what I said, then this competition will end here. Our medical philosophy is to save lives, not to harm them."
He glanced at Larry as he finished speaking.
Melanie, hearing that the poison was incurable and that it would spread throughout the body in one minute and cause death in three minutes, was also scared.
Although she was patriotic, she valued her life more.
"It's okay."
Larry waved his hand slightly and said, "You don't need to make an antidote; I have my own way to detoxify."
After speaking, he went to make the antidote for his poison.
He quickly concocted the antidote.
"Mr. Bennett."
Chloe was also scared and gently tugged at Larry, whispering, "Don't, don't compete. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal."
At this moment, even the host was silent.
Facing Cormac from Athendonis, he really wanted Larry to defeat him.
But the next step involved life and death, and he didn't dare to speak.
Cormac looked at Larry, who had made the antidote, and said indifferently, "You better think it through. If something goes wrong, I won't be responsible."
Larry looked at Melanie who was standing aside, and asked, "Do you want to continue? If not, I'll have to find someone else."
"Are you confident?" Melanie was a bit timid.
She knew who Cormac was and was aware of his methods.
If he said the poison was incurable, then it was incurable.
Larry said confidently, "Would I joke with your life? Don't worry, you'll be fine. I guarantee your safety."
Despite his words, Melanie was still uneasy.
She hesitated.
It was no joke; it was a gamble with her life.
Betting her life on a stranger.
In the audience, many important figures were watching.
At this moment, they were all silent; no one stood up to express their opinion, not even Matthew.
"Grandpa, will something go wrong?" Lucy asked with a worried expression, "Cormac's medical skills are above Matthew's. If he says the poison is incurable, then it must be incurable."
Matthew's face was solemn. He shook his head slightly, saying, "I don't know."
Lucy suggested, "How about stopping it? If someone dies, it will be a big deal, especially since the whole country and even the world are watching the live broadcast."
Matthew also wanted to stop it.
But he didn't dare.
If he called for a stop, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat, acknowledging that our country's medical skills came from Athendonis, and he would be a sinner, scorned by everyone.
On stage, Melanie was indecisive.
Larry was also helpless and looked at Chloe, asking, "Chloe, you take the poison."
Chloe was stunned.
She was also afraid of death.
Although she believed in Larry and Black Dragon, Cormac had said that the toxin would spread throughout the body in one minute and cause death in three minutes.
No matter how powerful Black Dragon was, could he find the antidote from over ten thousand herbs in three minutes?
And Cormac himself had said the poison was incurable.
Seeing Chloe's fear, Larry was also helpless.
Why did no one believe him?
A little poison, what's the big deal?
"Are you really Black Dragon?" Melanie asked again.
She wanted an answer.
If he really were, then she would take the gamble.
Although losing the bet would cost her life, she would become famous.
Larry felt helpless.
Why was she asking this question?
Did she want him to admit in front of the whole world that he was Black Dragon?
He walked up to Melanie and whispered in her ear, "Yes."
"What did he say to Melanie?"
"Why didn't he dare to say it in front of everyone?"
Many people questioned.
After hearing Larry's confirmation, Melanie thought for a few seconds, then gritted her teeth, her expression uncertain, as if making a major decision.
About a minute later, she nodded vigorously.
"I agree. I decide to continue being Larry's assistant and promise in front of everyone that if something happens to me, it has nothing to do with Larry, the organizer of Pillar Pharmacy, or Cormac."
She looked at Larry, "If I die, please cremate me and scatter my ashes in Southwild."
Larry smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I said you wouldn't be harmed, and you won't be."
"You're courting death."
Cormac sneered.
"If you're courting death, don't blame me."
Cosimo took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then let's get ready to start."
"Wait, I need to prepare some things."
Larry said.
He knew Cormac's strength, and the poison he made this time must be terrifying. He needed to prepare tools, or it would be too late.
Cosimo asked, "Mr. Bennett, what do you need to prepare?"
Larry said, "Prepare everything I need for treatment."
Larry listed the items he needed.
In the audience, Matthew glanced at Lucy and said, "Go prepare immediately."
"Okay."
Lucy stood up and quickly went backstage to prepare the items Larry needed.
