Chapter 488 Even God Can't Save You, I Said
All eyes were fixed on Chloe.
No one expected that Chloe, who knew nothing about medicine, would step forward to compete with Cormac, such a big shot in the medical world.
And with their lives at stake.
"You?"
Cormac looked at Chloe strangely, the corners of his mouth lifting into a sinister smile.
"Fine, let's sign a contract."
With his shout, someone immediately came over with paper and pen.
There were tables and chairs at the entrance of the clinic.
Chloe sat down.
Taking the paper and pen Cormac handed her, she swiftly wrote down the contract, then signed her name and pressed her fingerprint.
She casually tossed the pen aside and looked at Cormac in front of her.
She made a gesture of invitation: "Your turn."
Cormac didn't hesitate and signed his name as well.
Chloe asked: "How do we compete?"
Cormac smiled and said: "Same as at the medical conference - find herbs from the medicinal materials, prepare poison, and give it to the opponent to take. But this time, you can't call for help. You take it yourself, and the opponent won't prepare an antidote. Whether you live or die depends entirely on your own skills."
"Fine."
Chloe showed no fear.
Even though she didn't understand medicine and couldn't prepare poison.
She firmly believed that after taking Cormac's poison, she wouldn't die immediately.
She stood up and called out: "Prepare the medicinal materials."
The Global Nexus Group clinic was now quite large with a complete variety of medicinal materials.
Following her orders, the doctors at the Global Nexus Group clinic quickly prepared them. In just over ten minutes, they had prepared thousands of types of herbs.
The street in front of the Global Nexus Group clinic was wide.
Now an open area had been cleared on the street, with many medicine boxes appearing, along with some tables and chairs.
Chloe glanced at Cormac and said calmly: "You're older, you go first."
Seeing Chloe so confident, Cormac was puzzled.
Why was Chloe so confident? Had she learned medicine during this time?
But thinking that medicine couldn't be mastered in a short time - it required ten years or even longer to grasp its essence - he let go of his worries. With a sinister smile on his face, he began preparing the poison.
Chloe didn't move at all.
"What's Chloe doing?"
"Why isn't she starting?"
Many onlookers pointed and talked, not knowing what Chloe was trying to do.
Maria walked toward Chloe, worry on her face, asking quietly: "Chloe, what are you doing? This could kill you. Just admit defeat. Losing isn't shameful - it's better than losing your life."
Maria had watched the live broadcast of the last medical conference.
She knew Cormac's medical skills. So many famous doctors had been defeated.
Chloe didn't know medicine at all.
Competing with Cormac - wasn't this asking for death?
Other Lewis family members came over one after another.
Victor also advised: "Chloe, don't be impulsive. It's better to lose the clinic than lose your life."
Sam asked: "Chloe, did you secretly learn medicine during this time?"
Chloe's face showed bitterness.
She didn't know any medicine.
She was forced into this situation.
She was stalling for time.
Waiting for Larry to arrive.
The doctors at the Global Nexus Group clinic all fell silent at this moment.
Facing this life-or-death bet, they simply didn't dare accept it, because they had no confidence - no confidence they could defeat Cormac, no confidence they could prepare an antidote.
Facing the Lewis family's persuasion, Chloe waved her hand slightly, "Don't worry, it's fine. Larry will be here soon. I need to stall for time right now."
As she spoke, she took out her phone and called Larry again.
"Honey, where are you?"
Larry's voice came through the phone: "I've gotten out of the car. This stretch of road is pretty backed up. I need to walk to where traffic is moving and then get a taxi. I should be there in half an hour. By the way, what's the situation on your end?"
"I've already agreed to compete with Cormac. The rules are the same as at the medical conference last time."
Chloe explained the situation.
"That's crazy."
Larry immediately scolded: "Don't you know who Cormac is? His medical skills are unmatched. Even Matthew can't compare to him, and you actually dared to sign a life-or-death agreement."
"Honey, don't worry. I can use Qi to suppress the poison."
Chloe said quietly.
"That still won't work. Stay put and don't move. I'll be right there."
Larry hung up the phone and started running.
Meanwhile, on Medical Street.
Cormac prepared the poison quickly.
In just over ten minutes, he had prepared the poison.
Because the medicinal materials were limited, he couldn't prepare a truly incurable deadly poison, but to compete with Chloe, who knew nothing about medicine, this poison was more than enough.
After preparing the poison, he looked at Chloe and asked with a smile: "Chloe, why haven't you started yet?"
Chloe said coldly: "To compete with you, I don't need to prepare poison. If I take your poison and detoxify it, I win, right? And you'll leave with the Silvermoon Apothecary people?"
"Yes."
Cormac smiled: "As long as you can detoxify it, I lose. I'll naturally leave with my people and never trouble the Global Nexus Group clinic again."
"Good, hand it over." Chloe reached out her hand.
Cormac handed over the poison he had prepared.
Without any hesitation, Chloe poured a cup of water and dumped the powder into it.
A cup of clear, transparent water instantly turned black.
Seeing this, many people turned pale with fright and stepped back slightly.
The Lewis family members were completely terrified.
Maria quickly grabbed Chloe, pleading on her face: "Chloe, you absolutely can't drink it."
Victor also stopped her: "Chloe, don't drink it. You'll die."
Cormac laughed coldly: "Chloe, go ahead and drink it. If you don't drink it, then admit defeat and immediately disband the Global Nexus Group clinic."
Chloe glanced at Cormac, picked up the cup, opened her mouth and drank, gulping down all the poisoned water in one go.
The Lewis family members' faces instantly turned deathly pale.
Victor shouted: "Quick, call an ambulance."
"Grandpa, it's fine." Chloe waved her hand slightly.
She was a third-level expert. Although she wasn't very skilled at using Qi.
But using Qi to control the poisoned water she had drunk and prevent it from spreading throughout her body was no problem.
Cormac laughed and said: "Chloe, within a few minutes, you'll die from the poison. Even God can't save you. I'm telling you."
Chloe looked at him with disdain.
She sat down.
Time passed minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, five minutes had passed.
"What's going on?"
"Why is Chloe perfectly fine?"
"Yeah, her face is rosy. She doesn't look poisoned at all."
"Could Cormac's poison be ineffective?"
Many people exchanged puzzled comments.
Seeing that Chloe was completely fine, Cormac was also puzzled, muttering to himself: "This shouldn't be. Several minutes have passed. How is she completely fine?"
