A total of eighteen Silver Needles were inserted, almost covering the woman’s entire face.
This was a healing technique from the Nine Extreme Mystical Needles, requiring the use of Spiritual Power.
As the Spiritual Power slowly flowed along the Silver Needles onto the woman’s facial skin, the damaged skin caused by pimples began to heal.
Three minutes later, the female translator pressed the stopwatch and reminded, “Mr. Bloomer, I’m sorry, time’s up. You must stop the treatment now.”
Leo was surprised at how fast time had passed. He sighed slightly and quickly began removing the Silver Needles from the woman’s face.
The woman couldn’t wait to see her face and immediately asked for a mirror.
When she saw her reflection, she almost screamed in disbelief, repeatedly muttering “unbelievable” and “incredible.”
After the initial excitement, she carefully touched her cheeks, showing a hint of regret in her eyes.
Although the terrible pimples on her face had disappeared, there were still faint dark marks visible to the naked eye where the pimples had been.
Leo noticed the change in her expression and explained, “Don’t worry. The marks on your face will completely disappear in an hour, and your face will be flawless.”
Leo’s explanation dispelled the regret in her eyes. She put down the mirror and sincerely thanked Leo.
After the staff escorted the woman away, Leo’s treatment session was complete.
Due to the distance, the audience couldn’t hear the exchange between Leo and his patient and naturally couldn’t judge the outcome of Leo’s treatment.
“This Dr. Leo is so fast with his treatments. I wonder what ratings those three patients will give him.”
“Traditional doctors usually focus on treating the root cause and take their time. I wonder about the effectiveness of such quick treatments.”
“We’ll have to wait for the patients’ scores to see.”
As many audience members whispered among themselves, Seung Kim had also finished treating his three patients.
Prince George’s assistant took the microphone and announced loudly, “Both contestants, please wait a moment. The scores are being tallied backstage. Each patient has one hundred points to give, making a total of three hundred points.”
“Additionally, since the first round was a tie, the scores from this second round will determine today’s winner.”
After the assistant finished speaking, the audience’s discussions grew more intense. Some favored Leo, while others supported Seung Kim.
Sophia listened to the discussions around her. Although she had confidence in Leo, she couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous before the results were announced.
Jessica showed no signs of worry and boldly declared, “My son-in-law will definitely win!”
On stage, Seung Kim glanced at Leo with full confidence, as if victory was already his.
“Leo, you can start preparing to bow to me as your master,” Seung Kim suddenly said.
Leo gave him a cold look but said nothing.
“Now, representatives from Atraria and Goryeo Kingdom, please come forward and enter backstage to verify the scores for accuracy!” The assistant’s voice rang out again.
The Royal House of Albion had to ensure fairness because the winner would treat the little princess next.
Brennen represented Atraria, while Goryeo Kingdom also sent a representative.
The representatives entered backstage and emerged with staff after about ten minutes.
One of the staff handed the final scores to Prince George.
Prince George took the microphone and announced loudly, “The final scores are in. I will now reveal them!”
“First, we will announce the score for Atrarian traditional medicine representative Dr. Leo!”
The entire venue fell into a pin-drop silence as everyone focused intently on Prince George’s announcement.
“The first patient for Dr. Leo gave a score of one hundred points!”
Prince George’s words triggered a cheer from Atraria’s audience.
After the cheers subsided, Prince George continued, “The second patient gave a score of one hundred points!”
Another round of cheers erupted.
“The third patient gave a score of eighty-five points!”
This time, there were no cheers from Atraria’s audience; instead, there were boos from Goryeo’s audience.
Atraria’s audience felt a sinking feeling. They had expected all three patients to give perfect scores but were disappointed by the eighty-five points.
In high-level competitions, even one or two points could determine victory or defeat. Now Leo was fifteen points short of a perfect score.
Hearing the third patient’s score, Leo’s face darkened.
He had anticipated that the woman wouldn’t give him full marks but hadn’t expected her to give less than ninety points.
Sophia’s heart sank, and her mood turned heavy.
Jessica, who had been confident in Leo, also looked worried.
Martin tried to comfort himself, saying, “Don’t worry. Goryeo’s scores haven’t been revealed yet. Leo might still win.”
“Dr. Leo, I’m really sorry,” Seung Kim said with a bright smile. “I told you that I would be the ultimate victor. I will get a perfect score of three hundred points!”
Leo sneered, “Dr. Kim, how can you be so sure you’ll get three hundred points? Did you do something underhanded?”
Leo implied that Seung Kim had cheated. Seung Kim understood and immediately retorted with a cold smile, “You Atrarians have a saying: ‘A petty person measures others by his own yardstick.’ Dr. Leo, unlike you, I have absolute confidence in my medical skills!”
Despite Seung Kim’s righteous words, Leo’s intuition told him that this old man had definitely played some trick.
Leo’s intuition was correct. During treatment, Seung Kim had distracted the translator and secretly promised benefits to patients in exchange for perfect scores.
Seeing that the audience’s discussions were not subsiding, Prince George raised his hand for silence and said loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down. I can assure you on behalf of the British royal family that this competition is absolutely fair because it concerns the safety of our little princess.”
Hearing this, the audience gradually quieted down.
“Next, we will reveal Dr. Kim’s scores from Goryeo!”
“The first patient gave a score of one hundred points!”
