The Almighty Dragon General Novel

Chapter 964 As the Callahans attempted to dissuade Thea, she waved away their concerns and spoke with conviction, Dont worry, guys.Ill be fine.James will be here soon.I just need to stall for some time.

She tried her best to convince them that she was fine and took out her phone once again to get an update from James.

Honey, are you still stuck in traffic? James voice was slightly agitated as he answered the phone.

I just got out of the car.The road is completely blocked.Ill have to walk to somewhere traffic- free and find another ride.I should arrive in another thirty minutes.Whats the situation on your side? Ive agreed to Jonathans challenge.The rules are the same as the last medical conference… Thea explained the situation to James.

You fool! James reprimanded her, Dont you know who Jonathan is? His medical skills are one of the best in this world.Even Jay couldnt hold a candle against him! How in the world are you confident that you wont end up dead after you do this? I know youre trying to buy some time but this is too reckless! Dont worry, Honey.I can use True Energy to suppress the poison, Thea said in a hushed tone.

She was trying to be careful not to reveal her hidden weapon to the enemy.

That still doesnt make it okay! Just wait for me and dont do anything stupid! Im coming as fast as I can! James hung up and started running.

Meanwhile, on Medical Street… Jonathan swiftly prepared the poison.

In just ten minutes, he had already finished concocting his poison.

Due to the limited herbs available, he could not concoct an incurable poison.

However, he believed it would be more than enough to take down Thea, who lacked medical skills.

After completing his poison, he looked at Thea with a sarcastic grin.

Why havent you started, Thea? Thea answered him frostily, I dont need to prepare a poison.Wouldnt it be my victory if I consumed your poison and managed to neutralize it? In that case, do you and your men agree to leave Century Hospital alone if I win? Yes, Jonathan said wryly, If youre somehow able to neutralize it, then I will accept it as my loss.Naturally, Ill leave with my people and no longer pester Century Hospital.

Alright.Hand it over then.

Thea stretched out her hand.

Jonathan handed over his poison in the form of fine powder.

Thea poured a glass of water and sprinkled the poison into the water without any hesitation.

The clear water immediately turned pitch black the moment it came into contact with the powder.

Many onlookers were aghast and subconsciously backed away when they witnessed the sight.

The Callahans had their hearts in their throats.

Gladys quickly pulled Thea aside and again tried to talk her out of participating, Thea, you cant drink that! Lex also spoke up to stop her.

Dont drink it, Thea.Thatll most certainly kill you.

Jonathan sneered at the sight of Theas family trying to dissuade her.

Go ahead, Thea.If youre too afraid, theres always the option of throwing in the towel and losing your hospital.So, what will it be? Thea looked Jonathan in the eye, picked up the glass, and downed the whole glass in a single go.

The Callahans faces all went as white as a sheet.

Lex yelled in alarm, Quick, somebody! Call an ambulance.

Grandpa, calm down.Im perfectly fine.

Thea raised her arms slightly and smiled at them as proof of her condition.

Although she was not completely proficient in using her True Energy, she was still a grandmaster of the third rank.

Using True Energy to prevent the spread of the poison to other parts of her body and suppress its effects was something even Thea could manage.

Moreover, if she tried hard enough, she could forcibly expel the poison from her body.

However, none of this was as simple as it sounded.

Jonathan cackled smugly and said, Thea, the poison will spread throughout your body and kill you within mere minutes.Even God wont be able to save you.

Thea ignored him and simply sat down.

Time ticked away.

Second by second.

In a flash, five minutes had already passed.

Whats going on? How is Thea still okay? There doesnt seem to be anything wrong with her.

Yeah, her complexion hasnt changed one bit.She doesnt look to be poisoned at all.

Was Jonathans poison a dud? The onlookers murmured in amazement as they exchanged doubtful kooks with one another.

Jonathan was dumbfounded when he saw that Thea still had not succumbed to the poison.

He muttered, This shouldnt be happening.A few minutes have passed, but why is she still alive and breathing?
