Chapter 487 Do You Dare
Megan didn't take Larry seriously at all.
If the Bennett family hadn't already made it clear that they were protecting Larry, and that hurting Larry meant becoming an enemy of the Bennett family.
She probably would have taken Larry out as soon as she arrived in Sunset City.
Now, to deal with Larry and ensure the plan went smoothly, she had brought in the successor of Medicine Sanctuary.
When it came to medical skills in the world today, if Medicine Sanctuary claimed to be second, no one dared claim to be first.
It's just that Medicine Sanctuary had always kept a low profile, so outsiders basically didn't know about it.
With the Medicine Sanctuary successor coming out, Larry wouldn't stand a chance.
"Alright, you can go now." Megan waved her hand dismissively.
"Yes."
The young man nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
Medical Street.
In front of the Global Nexus Group clinic.
A large crowd had already gathered here.
There were doctors from Medical Street clinics, some passersby, and even media reporters had arrived, live-streaming the scene at the Global Nexus Group pharmacy.
Cormac and the others weren't in a hurry.
They were waiting—waiting for Larry to show up.
And also waiting for the people from Medicine Sanctuary to arrive.
Outsiders didn't know about Medicine Sanctuary, but he did.
Both he and Lachlan had once been disciples of Medicine Sanctuary—though they couldn't even really be called disciples. They had just gathered herbs for Medicine Sanctuary. But even so, they had learned many excellent medical techniques.
And the person appearing this time was the successor of Medicine Sanctuary.
With unmatched medical skills in the world, Larry simply couldn't compare.
Time passed minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, over half an hour had passed, but Larry still hadn't appeared.
The doctors at the Global Nexus Group pharmacy were getting worried too. They all looked at Chloe, and Octavius couldn't help asking, "Chloe, when will Larry get here?"
Chloe took out her phone and saw that nearly an hour had passed. She called Larry again and asked, "Honey, where are you? Why aren't you here yet?"
"There was a car accident on the road, traffic's backed up. I probably won't be able to get through for a while." Larry's voice came through the phone.
"Hurry up," Chloe said worriedly.
"Yeah, as fast as I can."
After Larry finished speaking, he hung up.
Chloe looked at the doctors from Global Nexus Group and said, "Don't worry, he's on his way. There's just a traffic jam, so he'll be a bit late."
Getting Chloe's answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Cormac still had that fearless expression.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Cormac stood up. He glanced at the many doctors in front of the Global Nexus Group clinic and the Lewis family members, a smirk on his face. "Chloe, an hour has passed. Why isn't Larry here yet? Is he really scared?"
Chloe said coldly, "He's already on his way."
"Haha..."
Cormac burst out laughing. "Where is he coming from that it takes this long? If he's scared, just say so. I definitely won't make things difficult for you—just disband the Global Nexus Group pharmacy, and as for you all..."
He looked at the group of doctors and said loudly, "As long as you join Silvermoon Apothecary, you'll be able to practice medicine again in the future. Otherwise, you'll permanently lose your qualification to practice."
"Cormac, you're way too arrogant. Who do you think you are, saying you can strip us of our medical qualifications?"
"Exactly, you're way too full of yourself."
"I have a medical license. Wherever I go, I have the right to practice medicine."
The doctors from Global Nexus Group spoke up one after another.
Even some of the onlooking doctors cursed at Cormac.
Cormac smiled. "Because very soon, I'll be establishing a Medical Excellence Alliance that will replace the medical association. At the same time, we'll announce to the world that only those who obtain a certificate from the Medical Excellence Alliance will be qualified to practice medicine. Otherwise, it will be illegal."
"Who do you think you are? Is it up to you?"
"What nonsense."
Everyone looked disdainful.
But only Chloe believed that Cormac had this capability.
Because the people behind Cormac were too powerful. Establishing something called the Medical Excellence Alliance wouldn't be difficult.
"Why isn't Larry coming?"
She looked anxious, constantly glancing into the distance.
But Larry still didn't appear.
"Chloe, I'll ask you one more time—do you accept the challenge?" Cormac pressed aggressively.
The Lewis family members didn't know medical skills. Facing a master physician like Cormac, they had no solution and didn't dare speak. They just looked at Chloe, waiting for her response.
"Accept. Why wouldn't I accept?"
Chloe showed no fear. Looking at Cormac, she said coldly, "Since you've come to challenge us, Global Nexus Group clinic will definitely accept. If we're really no match for Silvermoon Apothecary, then so what if we close down?"
Chloe knew Larry was on his way, and she knew Larry's current medical skills.
A single Cormac wasn't even worth worrying about.
She was quite confident.
"Where's Larry? Don't tell me you're counting on these mediocre doctors to compete with me in medical skills?" Cormac glanced at the doctors from Global Nexus Group.
They were all doctors with decades of experience, with extremely high achievements. Calling them renowned doctors wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Now being called mediocre doctors, they all looked upset, but couldn't find words to refute.
They were just very angry inside, wishing they could tear Cormac to pieces.
Chloe spoke up, "Since you've come to challenge us, any doctor from Global Nexus Group clinic is qualified to compete with you. As for the result, we'll know after the competition."
Chloe glared at Cormac coldly, then looked at the many doctors behind her and said quietly, "There's a traffic jam on the road. We don't know when Larry will arrive. With so many media outlets here reporting, we can't show fear. Even if we're no match for Cormac, we have to show our spirit. Who'll go compete with him first and buy some time?"
"Cormac, I'll compete with you."
Percival, who was called Zander, immediately stepped forward.
His medical skills were among the best in the country. In all these decades, only Matthew had been slightly better than him, and then there was his loss to Cormac last time.
Now it was about buying time. Even if he lost, he was willing.
"Good."
Cormac laughed loudly and said, "Percival, you better think this through. This competition isn't an ordinary competition. We're betting our lives. Do you dare?"
That one question—"do you dare?"—completely stopped Percival in his tracks.
Betting their lives?
To be honest, he really didn't dare.
He stood there frozen, not answering for a long time.
"Percival, do you dare to accept the challenge?" Cormac spoke again, pressing aggressively. "If you're going to fight, then sign a betting agreement. If you die from poison during the competition, the other party bears no responsibility."
Hearing about this competition, everyone watching gasped.
This competition was too brutal.
Who would dare accept?
Chloe was also shocked. She hadn't expected Cormac to actually bet their lives.
Seeing Percival not responding, she knew he was scared.
"I'll do it."
Chloe stepped forward, walked up, and looked at Cormac, saying word by word, "Betting our lives, right? I'll compete with you."
This caused a huge stir.
Chloe stepping forward to accept Cormac's challenge shocked everyone.
But Chloe was very confident.
She possessed third-level Qi. Even if she swallowed poison, she could use her Qi to suppress it and prevent the toxins from spreading throughout her body. She just needed to hold out until Larry arrived.
