Chapter 229 James's Counterattack
Even folks watching at home couldn't help but clap for James.
It wasn't just anything; James's words were downright brilliant and moving!
James didn't use technical jargon. He kept it simple and easy to understand, getting his points across without sounding too deep or complicated.
Even regular people could get what he was saying.
His logic was spot-on, making it neither boring nor dry.
His speech was fantastic, but what really wowed the audience was his courage. Facing the modern medicine camp, his big rival, he stayed cool and confident.
During James's talk, he handled Nathaniel's constant nasty interruptions with calm and grace, always staying on top and earning everyone's respect.
In front of the TV, Jennifer watched the incredibly charming James, her heart racing, her cheeks flushing with excitement!
As a doctor who knew both modern and traditional medicine, James's words were simply brilliant and flawless!
After listening, Jennifer felt super inspired. She couldn't contain her excitement. Thinking about such an amazing man being her husband made her so happy that she couldn't help but smile with joy.
Even Dennis and Kaitlyn, two regular folks who knew nothing about medicine, were pumped after listening. Dennis even jumped up, "Brilliant! That was brilliant! No wonder he's my best son-in-law."
Kaitlyn was thrilled, too. "Yeah, yesterday, Phillip and the others said traditional medicine is useless. Let them see, traditional medicine is not useless at all!"
Kaitlyn, with her limited education, didn't speak very fluently, but she got her point across.
Then, she grabbed Jennifer's hand nervously, "Look how amazing James is, Jennifer; you have to cherish him and not let other women lure him away!"
Jennifer rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Mom, don't say that!"
The applause lasted for more than ten seconds. Not just the audience but also the organizers and judges clapped for James's speech. Among them, Harmony clapped the hardest, her hands turning red. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on James, filled with tenderness and pride, which she didn't even realize.
As for the modern medicine camp, over a hundred doctors were fuming, especially Nathaniel and Guadalupe.
They had prepped extensively for today's exchange meeting, invited tons of media reporters, and hyped it up to suppress and even humiliate traditional medicine, aiming to crush it completely. But they never expected James to be such a formidable opponent.
On the traditional medicine side, a dozen old doctors were equally astonished. They knew that if they were to confront the modern group, they would embarrass themselves.
After the applause died down, the modern medicine camp, unwilling to accept defeat, targeted the question Nathaniel had raised earlier.
They started to debate with James one by one, throwing increasingly sharp and tricky questions at him, some of which they couldn't even answer themselves.
But James took on all challenges. He had no intention of backing down now that he had stepped up.
He had both the strength and the guts to stay calm in the face of tough questions.
He nailed every question thrown at him by the modern medicine camp, single-handedly handling over a dozen people, leaving the audience stunned and in awe.
Alan, one of the judges and a herbal medicine distributor, had no faith in traditional medicine. Even if Edwin participated, he thought it would end in a crushing defeat.
But James's performance shook that belief.
"James's debating skills are too formidable, too impressive!" he thought to himself.
Facing over a dozen people alone, the scene was spectacular. Regardless of today's outcome, James had already made a lasting impression on everyone!
This "siege" against James lasted over seventy minutes, exhausting many in the modern medicine camp, but James stood firm, like a deity blocking all attacks, earning everyone's utmost admiration.
Edwin, watching from the audience, grew increasingly excited, clapping continuously.
Finally, this spectacular siege ended in the modern medicine camp's defeat. They realized they couldn't outtalk James, who seemed like a monster, knowing everything and even turning their questions into deeper, more profound ones, leaving them speechless.
So they understood that James was a monster, and they gave up trying to challenge him.
"Damn, why is his speech so eloquent?"
In the modern medicine camp, such voices were continuous.
"He's a monster. I even suspect he's a robot! How else could his brain contain everything? It's terrifying!"
"I get it now. No wonder Edwin didn't participate himself and gave his spot to James. Turns out James is just too amazing!"
"No worries; just because James has extensive knowledge doesn't mean his medical skills are superior. There are plenty of people in our field who can talk but can't practice. I bet he's just someone who memorizes well, with strong theoretical knowledge but ordinary practical skills. Anyway, the most important third round is coming up, which is our modern medicine's strong suit."
"Yeah, the third round is our advantage."
Nathaniel finally snorted heavily. He had suffered the most at James's hands, and with new and old grudges combined, his hatred for James was the greatest.
However, they didn't plan to trouble James anymore, but that didn't mean James would let them off. As a reciprocal gesture, James immediately named Nathaniel, posing an almost unsolvable medical question to him.
Instantly, Nathaniel's face changed. He didn't expect James to dare question him, and with such an unsolvable problem!
He began to regret provoking James.
Nathaniel thought for a long time but couldn't answer. James wouldn't miss this chance to mock him and said with a smile, "Dr. Worthington, a great professor at Serenity Province Hospital. I believe you would easily answer this question."
His words were like a slap in Nathaniel's face, making him feel deeply humiliated.
