Chapter - 108

Shawn tried his best to suppress his anger. “I believe there’re pros and cons in everything! I respect your opinion regarding us TCM practitioners. Why don’t you tell us the reason behind your suggestion? Why do you want the TCM practitioners to be banished?”

George said, “It’s simple! Western medical practices are based on science, but TCM practicers are baseless. It’s merely based on traditional beliefs, right? Do you have any idea how many people have died as a result of such baseless medical practices? TCM practitioners like you should stop harming innocent patients!”

Damn it! What a shameless guy! He’s but an insolent fool!

Everyone grew irritated by George’s words. Consequently, they began to curse him.

After all, TCM practices had always been a huge part of certain people’s lives.

However, it was accused of being a baseless practice out of the blue. They couldn’t possibly bear such an insult against their beliefs.

Shawn, who had always been a courteous man, couldn’t hold himself back from uttering profanity either.

“Nonsense! TCM practitioners are located all over the world. Countless patients have been treated using TCM practices every year! In fact, we’ve managed to overcome certain issues which rendered Western doctors incapable of them throughout the years! The Nobel Prize in Physiology was presented to a TCM practitioner last year! You’re the one who can’t prove your statement! TCM practices are by no means baseless practices!”

George sneered, “Does that mean you’re suspecting my words? I can show you the pieces of evidence I have gathered!”

Shawn took a deep breath and replied, “Sure! Please! If you’re not able to validate your statement, I’ll sue you under defamation!”

George snapped his fingers and ordered, “Come in!”

Several Western doctors showed up with a man on the stretcher as they made their way into the hall.

The man on the stretcher seemed to a coma patient.

He had countless tubes attached all over his body with all sorts of equipment. It seemed like he had been vegetative for quite some time.

George broke the silence and introduced the said patient. “Allow me to introduce my father, everyone! He used to be a Western doctor who dedicated most of his life to medical research.

However, he came across rumours about TCM practitioners by chance back then and decided to give it a try. Hence, he got a top TCM practitioner to treat his headache.”

“Too bad! The said TCM practitioners couldn’t get rid of his condition. Instead, he turned him into a vegetative patient. If it weren’t because of the advanced equipment available, he would have been long gone! Even top-notch TCM practitioners turned an ordinary man with a headache into one with a terminal illness, let alone ordinary TCM practitioners like you! I guess it’s not an exaggeration to say TCM practices are baseless, right?”

Everyone in the hall was shocked after they had figured out what was going on.

Obviously, George’s dad had run into a scammer.

Throughout the past few years, many people with little to no TCM knowledge would disguise themselves as a TCM practitioner as they could leverage on the identity to reap a profit.

There’ve been countless innocent patients who had lost their lives to the scammers who considered themselves TCM practitioners.

Actually, they were the reason behind TCM practitioners’ bad reputation.

However, George had actually generalized and deemed TCM practices as baseless practices due to the limited exposure he had.

Zeke sneered when he heard George’s words.

Zeke had figured out who the person who turned George’s father into a vegetative patient was the moment he saw him.

It was none other than his apprentice, who had been granted the honourable title of the most capable doctor of Eurasia, Xavier Brown.

Xavier had another identity apart from a TCM practitioner; he was a secret service agent.

Xavier had been tasked to execute all sorts of secret missions on behalf of Zeke.

As a matter of fact, George’s father used to be a spy working for those from the United States. He had got his hands on a piece of certain confidential information and was about to flee.

Zeke had sent Xavier to get rid of him because they couldn’t possibly deal with him through legal means, as he had already gotten out of Eurasia.

Hence, Xavier made use of Eternal Drunk and turned George’s father into a vegetative man. Eternal Needle was the sixth developed method of Ammo Needle.

It had rendered George’s father unconscious. The man would have to bring the confidential information he stole to the grave with him.

However, Zeke would be able to save George’s father easily if he wished to. After all, he was the one who had developed Ammo Needle.

Shawn took a deep breath and replied, “Allow me to express my utmost condolences to you on behalf of fellow TCM practitioners because of what your father has gone through. However, it’s not enough for you to justify your action! You shouldn’t have insulted TCM practitioners! I’m afraid your father has run into scammers under the disguise of TCM practitioners back then!”

George replied, “I will definitely have faith in TCM practitioners again! All it takes is something simple. I don’t need you to revive my father, but you have to allow him to sustain his life exactly the way the advanced equipment that has been developed by Western doctors does.”

“Can you do it?” George smirked.
