Chapter 481: 481
After a long silence,
Yarville clenched his teeth and said, "What's Geberton thinking? How dare he be so presumptuous as to compare his medical skills with Senior Shen? When the time comes, the old man will inevitably offend Senior Shen with his words. We can't just sit here and do nothing."
The President nodded in strong agreement, his face filled with uncontrollable anger, "Kouro, you must go to Huaxia Country at once. Make Geberton publicly apologize to Senior Shen. If he refuses, then let him simply vanish from this world."
"We cannot allow a man like Geberton to provoke such a formidable adversary for our nation."
Kouro hurriedly said, "Okay, I will leave for Huaxia Country immediately."
Following this, Yarville said, "I will go with you."
The President did not object and said, "When you meet Senior Shen, give him my regards. Tell him that our nation will never stand against him and that I will personally visit Huaxia when I have the opportunity."
A personal visit from a President, especially from such a powerful country, would typically stun anyone to the point of dropping their jaw.
Yet neither Kouro nor Yarville showed any surprise; to them, all of this seemed perfectly natural.
After leaving the President's residence,
Kouro and Yarville quickly boarded a plane to Huaxia Country.
...
The distance between Jin State and Tianhai was not far.
About two hours later, the plane Shen Feng and his companions were on landed smoothly at Tianhai Airport.
As Shen Feng and Lu Yang walked out of the airport,
Miao Bohou, Cripple Hu, and others were already waiting outside.
After booking the tickets, Shen Feng, not wanting to keep the old men like Miao Bohou waiting, made another call to them.
This time, Qiu Baixing, Pang Nianda, and Ding Yuenian were also present; these three elders were the ones responsible for the domestic medical skills competition and were once known as the Three Great Medical Sages in Huaxia Country.
The number of old acquaintances coming to pick them up was quite a crowd, including Kong Yaonian, who had shamelessly pleaded with Shen Feng to participate in the national selection competition.
Of course, Liu Jianshu and Du Huakai, among others, stood respectfully amidst the crowd!
Upon seeing Shen Feng, old men like Qiu Baixing and Miao Bohou rushed toward him, scrambling as if afraid of missing out on a treasure.
Shen Feng, worried they might trip and fall, said, "Slow down."
Miao Bohou and Qiu Baixing, a bit out of breath, approached Shen Feng with immensely warm smiles, their eyes filled with respect as they called out, "Senior Shen!"
Shen Feng nodded slightly and asked, "Where shall we go first?"
Miao Bohou hastily replied, "Senior Shen, why don't we go to the conference room at our institute first? I'll explain the details of this medical competition, and I also have a few medical questions I'd like to consult with you about."
Shen Feng agreed without refusal.
The old men from the Chinese Medicine Community, like stars surrounding the moon, encircled Shen Feng and walked outside.
Pang Nianda said with longing, "Senior Shen, I saw the video of you saving people as well. What kind of acupuncture did you use this time? It was absolutely brilliant, especially that colorful Phoenix; it was so lifelike."
Ding Yuenian furrowed his brows, "Elder Pang, is that even worth mentioning? Who can compare with Senior Shen's medical skills? However, there are many ignorant people in this world who actually accuse Senior Shen of deceit—such an outrage."
Cripple Hu also spoke up, "Indeed, with Senior Shen stepping in this time, we will surely shut the mouths of people all around the world. After this medical competition, I refuse to believe that Chinese medicine won't be able to take the top spot in the world."
Surrounded by a crowd, Shen Feng, Lu Yang, and others boarded a coach bus.
The coach bus was en route to the Tianhai Traditional Chinese Medicine Institute. While passing through the downtown area, there happened to be an outdoor screen outside a shopping mall displaying a live TV broadcast that seemed to be national in scope.
Miao Bohou asked the coach driver to stop for a moment.
On the screen were three elderly men being interviewed.
Pointing to a foreign old man with a face full of arrogance on the screen, Miao said, "Senior Shen, this is Geberton."
To Geberton's left stood Shinichi Harada, and to his right was Srenin.
After all, Geberton was a second-level ultra-capable. Despite being the eldest among the three, he looked the youngest with a vigorous spirit, not at all resembling a man in his sixties.
Those who had placed in the top three at the international medical competition were now in Huaxia Country to participate in a medical contest, with a three billion stake as a prize.
Keep in mind, if Geberton and his colleagues won against the Huaxia Country's Chinese Medicine Community, they would be able to take away the three billion.
The relevant media naturally wouldn't miss the chance to interview people like Geberton.
On the massive outdoor screen, a reporter asked, "Mr. Geberton, how confident are you about winning this time?"
With a look of utter disdain, Geberton casually replied in English, "One hundred percent."
There were real-time translation subtitles at the bottom of the large screen.
After saying this, Geberton gave no indication of stopping and continued, "Do you really think Chinese medicine is still necessary? I can say Chinese medicine is trash, and I will still be the top contender in the competition."
While Harada and Srenin were dissatisfied with Geberton's arrogance, they too agreed that Chinese medicine was utter trash.
Srenin, in his broken Huaxia Country language, said, "Chinese medicine is beyond saving."
Harada, boasting in the Island Nation's language, said, "This time, we will completely shatter the dreams of your Chinese Medicine Community's rise."
Although Chinese medicine had been dismissed by the international medical circle and most people in Huaxia Country no longer believed in it, when they heard these foreigners on their own soil demeaning Chinese medicine, especially an Island Nation's brat at that, many were filled with rage.
The faces of the interviewing reporters also showed anger.
Indeed, Chinese medicine had fallen into neglect, and they found themselves at a loss for words of rebuttal. As for the video of Shen Feng saving someone, they completely took it as a joke, thinking that if Chinese medicine were really that powerful, it would have become the world's irreplaceable medical practice long ago.
While Geberton and the others were haughtily boasting, the authorities directly cut off the broadcast, having not anticipated such bold statements from them beforehand.
At such a critical juncture,
The authorities could not interfere either; confronting Geberton and the others would only make the outside world believe that the Chinese Medicine Community in Huaxia Country was indeed afraid.
Miao Bohou, Ding Yuenian, and a group of old gentlemen, upon hearing the shameless boasting of Geberton, Harada, and Srenin, were all flushed with anger, wishing they could get off the bus and smash the outdoor screen.
Shen Feng, on the other hand, was casually consuming a Mysterious Qi Pill and said, "Let them be proud for a moment more; everything will become clear in two days."
Upon hearing this,
Miao Bohou and the others managed to stabilize their emotions, now somewhat impatient for the competition to begin sooner.
When the time came, the Chinese medicine that Senior Shen would demonstrate under the large screen would surely dazzle everyone's eyes.
What do you think?
