“M-Me?”
Thea froze momentarily. Then, she shook her head vigorously.
“N-No way. Even those renowned doctors were defeated. I don’t know anything about medicine.
There’s no way I can win.”
Thea was not confident at all.
Although she despised Jonathan, she was powerless to do anything.
James smirked confidently. “Yes, you can. Don’t worry. I’m here to help you out, after all.”
Hearing this, Thea suddenly remembered.
James was the Black Dragon.
He was rumored to be unrivaled in the art of medicine.
No one knew the extent of his medical prowess.
“By the way…” She tilted her head quizically.”There are rumors that your medical skills are unrivaled.
How did this rumor come to be?”
James smiled.
It all began many years ago when he was not yet a commander-in-chief. A big shot in the capital was
seriously ill and nearing his end. James managed to save his life. That was how he rose to fame.
At first, his name was only known among aristocratic circles.
Following his appointment as commander-in-chief, his unparalleled strength and unrivaled medical
skills became part of his reputation. He did not answer Thea’s question. “Let’s get going.”
“I-I’m scared.” Thea felt intimidated.
Jonathan was still bragging on the stage. “Citizens of Sol, if you acknowledge Goryeon Medicine and
work with me to bring it to greater heights, you will receive many benefits. A simple visit to the doctor
will be free. Besides, you get to have the best medicine for the lowest price.” James could not listen to
any more of this drivel. Grabbing Thea by the arm, they walked straight toward the stage.
“Not so fast…”
A voice came from below the stage. All cameras turned toward the source of the voice, A handsome
man in a white suit was grabbing a glamorous woman by the hand. They walked toward the stage.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, they got on stage. Upon seeing them, Jonathan frowned. “Do
you wish to challenge me?”
James released Thea’s hand and said with a smile, “I’m just an assistant. I wouldn’t dare challenge
you. Your opponent will be Thea, the number one doctor in the world. Her medical skills are way above
yours.” Upon hearing this, the crowd was dumbfounded.
Thea Callahan?
She was the laughing stock of Cansington. Although she was now the most beautiful woman in
Cansington, she was still a nobody. What medical skills would she know?
However, after momentarily freezing, everyone fixed their gazes on James. James demonstrated
incredible strength in the first round of the competition this morning. After investigation, some netizens
uncovered that he was the Black Dragon, the guardian of Sol.
However, these were only rumors on the internet. The fact remained that the Black Dragon was dead.
There was no way he could the Black Dragon.
If he was, defeating Jonathan would be a piece of cake.
Even if he was not the Black Dragon, the incredible medical skills he had demonstrated proved that he
could be on equal footing with Jonathan. The dismayed crowd immediately lit up with hope.
“Her?”
Jonathan looked at Thea with disdain.
Thea was nervous. Her palms were clammy. If it was not for James, she would have never gotten on
stage to embarrass herself. Seeing there was hope, Delilah immediately walked over to James and
asked respectfully, “Mr. Caden, will Jonathan be facing you or Thea?”
James flashed a smile. “There’s no need to bother Thea over this. He will only gain the right to
challenge Thea after he defeats me.”
