Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2550 Battle of Wits

After hearing the bet proposed by the three elders, Matthew pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing.

Meanwhile, the three elders were brimming with joy, thinking their plan was already working perfectly. They thought that by acquiring Matthew's alternative medicine clinic, they would be one step closer to dominating the pharmaceutical industry in Hulwin.

They also believed dealing with the other clinics would soon be a piece of cake, unlike the challenges they faced with Grayson's clinic.

Yet, the only aspect that puzzled them was why this mysterious person was determined to drive Matthew out of Seraphis Province. After all, these elders viewed Matthew as a young and easily influenced individual with no exceptional qualities.

Despite this curiosity, they didn't pay much attention to it because the mysterious party had offered a tempting reward of 70 million. Of course, the elders knew how persuasive money could be.

When Matthew finally spoke up, the elders were still reveled in their upcoming success. "Well, let's not waste any more time. Now that we've agreed on the bet, you can choose how we compete. Please don't think I'm trying to be unfair to elderly people."

As soon as he mentioned the word "elderly," the disciples behind the three elders were about to step forward and reprimand him.

However, Riley calmly raised his hand to stop them. "Young man, it's just words. Don't take it so seriously. Step back." "Matthew's right. We shouldn't waste any more time. Hmm..."

After pondering momentarily, one of the elders smiled faintly and suggested, "Why don't we settle this with a battle of wits?"

Since the other two elders were confident in their medical knowledge, they nodded in agreement, believing they could win any challenge.

In this battle, both sides would ask each other questions about medical knowledge, and failure to give correct answers would result in defeat.

When Matthew agreed to this format, the three elders exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

Then, Mr. Chandler stepped forward and stated, "Given this great opportunity, I'll start by asking the question. If I make any mistakes, I hope Mr. Murphy and Mr. Riley will correct me." The other two elders responded with a smile.

"You're being modest," one of them remarked.

"You're the walking medical encyclopedia of Hulwin. We don't have that kind of knowledge."

Despite their flattering words, it was clear that they were underestimating Matthew.

As they displayed their arrogance, Matthew shook his head slightly and proposed, "Going one by one will take too much time. How about all three of you challenge me at once?"

After hearing this, the three elders immediately wiped the smiles off their faces and focused on Matthew.

"Small fry, you truly have no idea what you're getting into," Murphy warned.

"Mr. Murphy, let us not get agitated. If Matthew has this much confidence, we should accept the challenge," one of the elders urged.

"Yeah, there's no reason not to," another concurred.

With a mischievous smile, Murphy began, "What is the use of Oregon grape root?"

Faced with this fundamental question, Matthew responded with a faint smile. "This herb is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, immune system support, and digestive system improvement. It can be consumed orally or brewed as a tea."

Murphy proceeded to inquire, "And what about milk thistle?"

Matthew replied confidently, "Milk thistle is renowned for its liver-protective properties and is commonly used in supplements."

Murphy continued, "How about white willow bark?"

Matthew stated, "White willow bark has a bitter and astringent taste and is used for pain and inflammation relief."

As each round of questions and answers continued, Murphy's questions became more challenging. The elders' initial dismissive expressions began to change as they realized Matthew was no pushover. Soon, the questions about herbs became even more specialized, leaving many disciples bewildered. In contrast, Matthew remained calm and composed, answering each question effortlessly.
