Xu Hao looked at Steve and said coldly, "I treated you at Miss Louise's invitation, not to be toyed with! If you think I can't cure your illness, you can say it directly, instead of teaming up with Skarna to mess with me!"

At this moment, Louise also sensed something was not quite right.

How could there be such a coincidence?

Steve arrived, and Skarna and his party showed up right after. Isn't this too coincidental?

Who would believe that!

Louise's expression became unpleasant. Could it be that her grandfather really colluded with Skarna and others to deceive her and also intended to ruin Xu Hao's reputation?

If they successfully treated her grandfather's illness this time, Xu Hao would be seen as having done nothing. They could completely fabricate the story, claiming Xu Hao failed to cure it, and they succeeded afterward, thus taking all the credit for themselves while simultaneously belittling Xu Hao and the traditional Chinese medicine he uses.

At this point, Andrew immediately said, "Mr. Xu, you're overthinking it. Indeed, we came this time to have a medical showdown with you, but I did not inform Mr. Steve about this in advance, so let me first apologize to Mr. Steve."

With that, he bent over and bowed to Steve.

Steve quickly said, "Director Andrew is too humble. Actually, I am very interested in seeing both sides clashing, as it's all to cure my illness. Therefore, I've decided, you can fight your fight. As long as my illness is cured, whoever wins, wins!"

Louise immediately asked, "So who will go first?"

Skarna quickly replied, "Of course, it will be us! I'm sure Mr. Xu, a distinguished Huaya traditional Chinese medicine master, wouldn't mind giving us the first go, right? If we can't cure it, you can continue the treatment, correct? Moreover, in this competition, whoever loses must immediately post on their social account, praising the opponent's medical skills as superior, and acknowledging they are not as good. Is that acceptable?"

Last time, after losing a bet with Xu Hao, Skarna had to post on his social media account praising traditional Chinese medicine and stating that Western medicine was inferior to traditional Chinese medicine. He was ridiculed and attacked by those Americans, and he swore that this time he would make Xu Hao experience a taste of being mocked by countless people.

Liu Ruyan and the other women's faces instantly turned unsightly.

Skarna and his party had clearly come prepared, and the fact they dared to make this bet meant they were wholly confident.

Moreover, they shamelessly demanded they go first!

This completely blocked Xu Hao's way!

However, Xu Hao, upon hearing their words, immediately laughed, "Interesting, are you so certain of victory? Do you really think you'll win?"

Skarna sneered, "Xu Hao! To be honest, we have been preparing for this competition for over a week. We obtained the method to completely cure Mr. Steve's illness more than a week ago, but to ensure nothing goes wrong, and also to utterly ruin your reputation, we waited until Mr. Steve arrived to compete against you!"

Upon hearing Skarna's explanation, the women expressed their disgust at their shameless conduct.

Anna spoke directly, "Bah! Isn't it better to have an open and fair challenge? Is it necessary to use such despicable means? Clearly, it's because you're not confident enough and feel there's a high chance you'll lose to my brother!"

Louise, somewhat angry, also said, "Today is about having Mr. Xu treat my grandfather, not watching you fool around. If my grandfather's illness isn't cured, can you take responsibility?"

Louise's words immediately left Skarna stunned.

He almost forgot, this elder was the head of the largest American retailer. If anything happened to him, ten Skarnas wouldn't be enough to cover it!

The reason he had the courage to involve himself in Mr. Steve's condition today relied heavily on Andrew.

Skarna looked to Andrew for help.

Andrew nodded slightly and said, "Miss Louise is overthinking it. How could we not be fully committed to treating Mr. Steve? Whether it's our own medical ethics or Mr. Steve's status, they both deserve our full effort in treatment. We're merely taking this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to demonstrate America's powerful technological capabilities to these ignorant Huaya people! We want them to understand that in the face of true strength, all sorcery is mere illusion!"

Louise wanted to say more, but Steve's gaze stopped her.

Steve was clearer than anyone in his mind; the pressure on his nerves was intensifying, and he might die within three years. Before coming to Huaya, he had already arranged his affairs clearly, so he had no worries now.

Although he wished to live a few more years, he knew it was almost impossible.
