Chapter 777: Mortal Defeats God

Book:A King Reborn in Shadows Published:2025-2-5

“Mr. Hawthorne couldn’t cure it, and even Ms. Woods wasn’t confident. It seems that this illness is quite difficult!”
“Yeah, the patient not only has urticaria, but also a severe heart disease. It’s not easy to deal with!”
“Even Ms. Woods isn’t confident, so how can that brat have any chance? He should just give up!”
Many professionals in the medical field were present, and they all exclaimed “impossible” after hearing Layla Woods’ introduction.
Layla Woods remained silent in response to everyone’s discussion.
Her treatment method involved acupuncture and blood circulation promotion, followed by herbal medicine.
During acupuncture, the heart acupoint needed to be sealed off to prevent external cold from invading the heart.
However, the current patient had a severe heart condition, and sealing off the acupoint could potentially lead to cardiac arrest.
But Layla Woods wasn’t worried because her master had taught her another acupuncture technique.
Dragonbane Needle technique.
An ancient acupuncture technique that could perfectly avoid disturbing the heart and instead use a different method to promote blood circulation.
Then, herbal medicine would be brewed into medicinal tonic that could help control the patient’s condition.
The patient could have contact with water within two days.
But they would need to take medication for the rest of their life.
Now, the patient was suffering from two major illnesses and was extremely weak, especially in terms of their heart condition. Any significant stimulation could lead to sudden cardiac arrest.
Did Flynn have confidence?
He might have some real medical skills, but today’s treatment was extremely risky.
“I will perform acupuncture on the patient first, and you can prepare the medicine according to the prescription. Take this pot and boil it over low heat for an hour and a half.” Layla Woods handed the prescription to her staff and then took out a clay pot from her bag.
It was as large as a cooking pot at home.
Flynn’s eyes lit up when he saw this huge clay pot.
Fire Clay?!
This pot was made of Fire Clay, which was excellent for refining iron meteorite!
How did Layla Woods obtain such a treasure?
After giving all the instructions, Layla Woods turned to Flynn and said indifferently,
“The case today is very special, and any slight mistake could lead to disaster.”
“I advise you to give up early and not harm the patient with your mediocre medical skills.”
She had only known Flynn for three months and had never seen him demonstrate his medical skills.
But based on Rose’s recommendation of Flynn, he might have some medical knowledge.
So what? The patient in front of them wasn’t just suffering from a common cold. Any slight mistake could be catastrophic.
A heart disease!
Even ordinary people knew how dangerous it was. Eating or walking could trigger cardiac arrest.
“Young man, if you’re not confident, just give up,” Mr. Hawthorne also spoke up with a smile, advising Flynn.
The meaning was clear-during treatment, if the patient’s life was endangered, it would be his responsibility.
But this was understandable. No one could use a living person as an experimental tool.
If he could treat it, go ahead. If not, just give up.
Mr. Hawthorne had investigated Flynn before coming here.
He was unknown in the medical field and had never heard of his name. If any difficult or complicated cases were brought to him, this young man would be at a loss.
He might have some ability, but there was no way his skills surpassed Layla Woods’.
The outcome of this competition was already predetermined.
Mr. Hawthorne brought patients with both heart disease and urticaria just to seek advice from Layla Woods.
By persuading Flynn to admit defeat and watch Layla Woods cure the patients, he thought this trip to Niarak would be rewarding.
Mr. Hawthorne brought two patients with severe illnesses and wasn’t worried about any grudges from Rose’s side.
If this lad’s abilities were insufficient, she couldn’t blame others.
“A gooddoctor cares for their patients. They shouldn’t treat them as guinea pigs. It’s unethical to act recklessly,” someone said among the crowd.
“Even Layla Woods found treating such a patient to be quite challenging; there’s no way this kid could handle it.”
“It’s not shameful to admit that you can’t treat something. But if you make jokes with a patient’s life and cause serious consequences, everyone in the medical field will condemn you!”
In everyone’s eyes, Flynn should have some medical knowledge. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent onto the stage.
But if Flynn caused someone’s death today, he would never be able to practice medicine again in his lifetime.
The authorities wouldn’t allow it, let alone the medical community.
Just like in hospitals-if a doctor caused a major medical accident, his medical license would be revoked and he might even face imprisonment.
“Matteo Kaur, can Flynn handle it? If not, advise him to step down. What if he ends up killing someone?” Paulina Johnston whispered softly.
She didn’t care about Flynn’s life or death, but Matteo Kaur did worry about it.
If Flynn got into trouble because of this and faced legal consequences, Matteo Kaur couldn’t help but worry about it.
If something bad happened, Paulina Johnston would be affected as well.
“If Flynn can’t handle it, how did he cure your illness?” Matteo Kaur replied unkindly.
Paulina Johnston was taken aback and pouted her lips sarcastically, “Who knows if his diagnosis was even accurate?”
“I fainted that day because of anger. Even if there was something wrong with my liver, it couldn’t have been such a serious problem.”
Her stubbornness was understandable since she hadn’t undergone a CT scan for her illness. She had been cured by Flynn after it occurred.
What if it was just bloating?
Given that her high blood pressure, fainting due to anger was not impossible.
Even now, she believed that she almost died because of Flynn’s fault.
Matteo Kaur snorted lightly and ignored her.
He thought Paulina Johnston had suffered too little in her life so far.
Madeline Kaur frowned as well.
Could Flynn cure the patient?
She felt conflicted inside.
Flynn had already shown enough strength for her to regret it now.
If Layla Woods wasn’t his match…
She would become the biggest joke in Niarak.
A joke throughout Shipmeda State or even the whole country.
After all, in Madeline Kaur’s eyes, Layla Woods was like a shining star.
If her ex-husband shone brighter than Layla Woods herself, she wouldn’t be able to face anyone anymore, right?
But she also didn’t want Flynn to cause someone’s death. She didn’t hate him enough to wish for his downfall.
Lilia Hussain didn’t have so many thoughts.
She sat with her legs crossed in the front row of the seats with a smile on her face.
In her opinion, Flynn was now in a difficult situation.
If he admitted defeat directly, Flynn would lose all face and never be able to act arrogantly in front of her again.
If they continued with the competition and something happened to the patient under Flynn’s care, Flynn would be finished!
Everyone could see that he remained silent with vacant eyes.
In fact, Flynn was staring at that clay pot.
“This guy must be regretting it now. This is the result of arrogance. This is what happens when you try to challenge Layla Woods, Flynn! What are you pretending for when you don’t have that ability? Those who talk big can’t withstand verification,” she sneered inwardly.
“Ms. Sharp, do you regret it now? Out of all people, you had to choose Flynn for the competition.”
“I warned you before, this challenge would be tough. Flynn might know a thing or two about medicine, but he’s clearly no match for Layla Woods,” Lilia Hussain said with a smile, glancing at Rose nearby.
A member of the Clark family who had been abandoned before turning eighteen.
Useless until then and forced to pick up trash for survival.
And someone who learned medicine under Green Liniment Ghost Doctor since childhood, an extraordinary talent ranked among Heavenly Ranking of Medicine’s top five.
Who could win? Wasn’t it obvious?
Flynn’s medical skills were at most at Grandmaster level-similar to his cultivation level.
While Layla Woods was at Great Grandmaster level!
“No match for Layla Woods?” Rose sneered with a hint of contempt on her lips as she smiled faintly. “Even if what Ms. Hussain said is true, Flynn is nothing more than an ordinary person.”
“But wouldn’t it be something beautiful if a mere mortal could defeat the god you all worship?”
Defeat a god?
Had she been watching too many TV dramas?
Lilia Hussain chuckled dismissively and ignored her.
Just watch! Layla Woods would teach Flynn a lesson. Mortals could only be mortals!
Flynn would spend his whole life looking up at Layla Woods!
