The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 585
Why should she risk her life for something that ultimately did not involve her? The big shots who were watching under the stage
remained silent.
None stepped forward to express their opinions on the matter.
Even Jay said nothing.
"Grandpa, will something bad happen?" Christine asked anxiously.
"Jonathan’s medical skills are better than yours.If he says his poison has no cure, it must be true."
Wearing a grim expression, Jay shook his head.
"I don’t know."
Christine suggested, "Shouldn’t we stop this? Things will get out of control if someone actually ends up dying.After all, the whole
country...No...The whole world is watching this live."
Jay wanted to put an end to this farce.His pride, however, did not let him back down.
Calling an end to the competition was tantamount to admitting defeat.
It would mean that he acknowledged Goryeon Medicine as the superior path of medicine.He would be chastised by his
countrymen.
Delilah was hesitant.
James shrugged in annoyance.He turned to look at Thea.
"Thea, you do it."
"What?" Thea froze.
"I...Umm..."
She was afraid to die too.

Although she had faith in James, the Black Dragon, Jonathan had reiterated that the poison would spread throughout the body
and kill its host in just three minutes.
Could the Black Dragon really find a cure among the tens of thousands of herbs in three minutes? Not only that, there was
supposedly no cure for the poison.
Seeing that Thea was intimidated, James sighed.
Did he seem so incapable that people were not willing to trust him? Curing this poison was child’s play for him.
"A-Are you really the Black Dragon?" Delilah questioned.
She wanted to know before she committed.
If James truly was the Black Dragon, she was willing to give it a try.
Even if she paid with her life, her sacrifice would be immortalized for generations to come.
James was speechless.
‘Why is she asking me this in front of everyone? Did she seriously think I’m going to admit to the whole world that I’m the Black
Dragon?"
He walked over the Delilah and whispered, "Yes."
"What did he say to her?"
"Why won’t he say it out loud?"
The crowd murmured skeptically.
Delilah contemplated for a few seconds.
Then, she gritted her teeth.She wore an expression that suggested she was about to make an important decision.
After a minute, she nodded.
"I-I will still be James’ assistant.I won’t hold him responsible even if I end up dying.Herbal Biotech, the organizer of this medical
conference and even Jonathan Harris won’t be liable for my death."

She looked at James.
"If I die, scatter my ashes across the Southern Plains." James gave her a smile.
"Relax.I told you you’ll be fine."
"You’ve brought this upon yourself." Jonathan cackled.
"Since you have a death wish, be my guest."
Kevin took a deep breath and said, "In that case, let's begin."
"Hold on.I still need to prepare something." James said.
He knew what Jonathan was capable of.
The poison he concocted would be deadly.
He needed to take extra precautions.
Kevin asked, "What do you need?"
"Some silver needles, alcohol, a lighter, and a fridge.Put the silver needles in the fridge to chill them in advance.Also, get me
some massage cups of all sizes..."
Jay looked at Christine by her side and ordered her, "See to it immediately."
"Understood."
Christine stood up and swiftly made her way backstage to make the necessary arrangements.
