Chapter 313: Chapter 312: A group of unbelievers have arrived

While they were in discussion, Dael Smith received a sudden phone call. After listening, his face creased into a frown and he quietly said to Peter Brown, "Nigel Harrison is here. He does not believe in your treatment methods and claims they are fraudulent."

Several foreign experts also received calls at this time. After their calls, everyone looked at Peter with a strange expression.

"Peter, Nigel Harrison wants to challenge you."

"Mr. Brown, Nigel Harrison has a major influence in the world of medicine. He just won a Nobel prize, and he is suspecting your treatment of the prime minister and wants to challenge you. What do you make of this?"

Peter looked at the eyes directed at him and said perplexedly, "Who is Nigel Harrison?"

When Peter asked his question, everyone stared, and Joe Johnson said, "You don’t know who Nigel Harrison is?"

"Do I need to know him?"

"You don’t even know who Nigel Harrison is?"

"I’m just a farmer, why should I know him?"

At this point, everyone fell silent.

Dael Smith said, "Comrade Peter, Nigel Harrison holds a high status in the world. He just had a significant breakthrough in medicine and won the Nobel Prize. His doubts have caused an uproar in the international community and a voice of dissent has also started to rise. We must be cautious with this matter."

Peter asked doubtfully, "Do I need to convince him? Everyone here has seen how I treat my patients. I don’t think I need to prove anything, do I?"

Dael Smith said, "Nigel Harrison has a huge influence in the world now. After he voiced his doubts, Western media began intensely reporting it, leading to a lot of skepticism towards the Hua Nation’s medical practices."

An elderly foreign man then said, "Peter, Nigel Harrison is not an ordinary person. He just won the Nobel Prize and is currently very popular. If he challenges you, it will not just be targeted at you individually. I think there’s a high chance he’s targeting traditional Chinese medicine in Hua Nation as a whole."

Joe Johnson, however, had a lot of faith in Peter and said, "Peter, I believe Nigel Harrison is not your match in medical skills. If he wants to challenge, then let him!"

The foreigners all expressed their opinions, and overall, they supported such a confrontation. However, it was clear that Nigel Harrison really did have quite a reputation in the world. These people all advised Peter to be careful of Nigel Harrison, stating that he was a genius in medicine who had just invented an effective means to suppress malignant tumors.

"Will it be broadcasted live?" Peter looked at Dael Smith and asked.

"Correct, they have already arrived in Hua Nation and have seen the French Prime Minister. They believe that the complete lack of wounds on the prime minister’s body is fraudulent."

A French official said with a serious expression at this time, "France will be having a major election soon; Nigel Harrison is a member of the opposition party. He wants to use this to attack the ruling party!"

At these words, everyone concurred, and an old man said, "I was wondering why Nigel Harrison suddenly jumped out. So, it’s because of this. One of his objectives is to attack the ruling party. If the ruling party does not handle this matter well, it will become a serious issue and become their target for attack."

"Yes, in addition to attacking the ruling party, he will incidentally attack Hua Nation as well. This will be detrimental for the development of both parties.

So, that’s the situation!

Only then did Peter understand that he had unknowingly been dragged into their domestic politics.

Peter had always disliked involving himself in politics but he felt a sense of irony as he realized he had inadvertently deeply involved himself in a very similar situation.

Dael Smith also looked serious at this time. He would have to report this to their superiors.

The meeting was no longer feasible, so Dael Smith announced its adjournment.

Returning to his room, Dael Smith said to Peter, "Because this incident involves their election, it is somewhat troublesome."

Peter thought for a while then genuinely said, "You should ask for the superiors’ opinion."

In Peter’s view, it was the superiors’ opinion that mattered most for this issue.

Dael then began to make a phone call.

After some time, the doorbell rang.

When Peter opened the door, he saw the French official who had spoken at the meeting, standing at the door with several others.

After inviting them in, the official introduced himself, "Mr_Brown, my name is Saige. I hope we are not intruding?"

Dael Smith had finished his call by this time and walked over.

After making some casual conversation, everyone sat down.

With a serious look on his face, Saige said, "The main reason I came was to hope that Mr_Brown would accept Nigel Harrison’s challenge!"

Peter looked at Saige.

Dael Smith said, "This matter involves your country’s election. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if Comrade Peter got involved?"

"If you had guessed correctly, the Opposition Party wants to use this to attack the Prime Minister and therefore, the ruling party. The Prime Minister’s visit to Hua Nation was intended to boost the ruling party’s image and gain points for the election. However, this incident happened all of a sudden. Nigel Harrison, as a member of the Opposition Party, jumped out. If he forcefully labels the prime minister a fraud, it will have serious consequences for the ruling party."

Dael Smith said, "We are aware of this situation. Nigel Harrison just won the Nobel Prize and this time they have instigated some western powers to take notice of this situation. We should avoid getting involved."

Saige said, "Although this is a blow to us, it is equally a blow to your kingdom, especially traditional Chinese medicine which is likely to be hit even harder. Initially, the injury healing process of the prime minister would’ve boosted traditional Chinese medicine, but now if Nigel wins, traditional Chinese medicine in your kingdom is going to take a heavy hit."

At this point, Saige looked at Peter Brown and said, "We know Mr. Wang is going to be a village chief. The next step for our Bapton City is to establish a relationship with your village. We will also participate in the development of that village. We will increase our support for your village, consider this our promise."

Peter asked, "What exactly is Nigel trying to compete with me in?"

"Nigel has made groundbreaking progress in tumor treatment, he proposed to compete with you in tumor treatment methods."

This piqued Peter’s interest, "How does he plan to compete? These things can’t be accomplished in one or two days, right?"

"It’s about containing the spread of the virus, both sides will perform surgery to remove it, and then observe the patient’s condition after the surgery."

"Remove it? In my treatments, I wouldn’t remove anything. There’s no need for such comparison, these are fundamentally different methods. Whenever I can cure using a silver needle, why would I have to cut a bit off from someone?"

"Of course it wouldn’t be like that. There must be some sort of requirements. Since they have challenged you, they surely cannot dominate everything." Dael remarked seriously.

"Hmm, I imagine a standard method of competition will be used. Most likely is selecting some incurable patients for the competition."

"This is like using people for experiments!"

"Of course, it’s voluntary. Agreements will be signed with malignant tumor patients who agree to participate."

Dael said, "Comrade Wang Xiaofei, Nigel is globally recognized as a surgical expert, this time he will compete against you on the number of patients treated, to judge based on the number of people treated in a day."

The French official replied, "That’s correct, this time, tumor patients will be summoned from around the world for treatment, the first round is based on the number of patients treated by each side in a day. The one who performs more surgeries or treatments is considered better."

"Doesn’t that mean if we gather a lot of patients, regardless if they are treated or not, the side with more patients wins?"

Dael shook his head, "A greater number of patients is not necessarily a good thing, if subsequently more patients worsen, that will then be the result of the second round."

Peter nodded his head, finding this whole ordeal interesting.

Dael continued, "The key is the third round of tests which is after one week, how many have improved, the more improvements, the more likely it is that you have won."

The official added, "There is going to be a large jury present for this, assuredly being fair, Mr. Wang, Nigel knows that you cured the prime minister with medicine. He is basically trying to beat you with a human sea strategy, thus proclaiming the prime minister’s illness as a lie, thereby attacking the prime minister."

Sure is a convoluted scheme!

Peter also understood their intentions, that Nigel was not a fool, he must be aware of his treatment conditions, he now chose a new strategy against him, that was to beat him with a human sea strategy.

After a careful thought, that was exactly it. A doctor’s daily surgical capacity would not be too high, not reaching a hundred people, Nigel simply wanted to treat a hundred, he probably had seen his treatment process, knowing that his treatment for a person, even with a silver needle, would take a long time, his only concern was his situation, he simply needed to use medication.

Right!

Peter thought about how many people had inquired if he had any medicine left today, some of these people must have been theirs, intentionally inquiring about how much medicine he had left and what its production cost situation was.

Now that they knew the cost of his treatment medicine and that he didn’t have much medicine to treat diseases, with a human sea strategy, he would almost certainly lose.

But how could they possibly know his methods, even without using Elixirs, he could still save people.

When he thought about selling the Elixirs, Peter also laughed. Definitely among the people that visited today were his inside men, knowing that Elixirs were expensive and scarce, simply chose this strategy to defeat him. In this way, Firstly, it would undermine Hua Nation’s propaganda, Secondly, it could discredit the French ruling party.

Looks like I just have to compete!

"Mr. Wang, how confident are you with this treatment method? You have to know that one of Nigel’s achievements that led to this Nobel Prize is in tumor treatment, he invented a drug that can stop the deterioration of malignant tumors. If he doesn’t cure patients, at least he can contain the worsening of the condition!"

"If he’s doing it like this, gather all patients, let them take the medication and wait, what’s there to compete?"

Saige said, "Not exactly, everyone knows that this kind of medicine can be produced, so, he proposed not more than a hundred patients per person for treatment."

"One person gets a hundred patients?"

"Correct, this time the stage is set quite big."

"Let’s just compete!" Peter began to feel that if he could cure so many people, the number of people supporting him would greatly increase.

"Are you confident?"

"Of course!"

Peter figured that for this kind of tumor treatment, he really didn’t have to use Elixirs. Just pairing with vegetables would suffice.

"That’s great, only by defeating him can we clear your name!"

Seeing Peter had agreed to the competition, Dael nodded his head too, the next step would require some arrangements.
