Chapter 1374
Mosby did not take the cup because he was afraid. Seeing this, Andrew ran out of patience and shoved the poisoned concoction straight into his hands.
Mosby nearly burst into tears. โAndrew, dโdonโt touch me!โ
However, Andrew ignored him completely. After handing over his poison, he casually reached for the one Mosby had prepared.
Then, with a chilling grin, he raised his glass toward Mosby, โCheers!โ
Mosby held Andrewโs poison in trembling hands, his entire body shaking. โAndrew, are you really planning to die with me?โ
Andrew shook his head. โNo. Iโm sending you off. Trust me, if Iโm playing this game with you, then thereโs only one endingโyouโre the one who dies.โ
With that, he raised his glass and tilted it toward his lips.
Mosby did not move. Deep down, he was banking on Andrewโs deathโif the kid dropped, victory was his.
Just as Andrewโs lips touched the cup, he paused, lowered it, and gave Mosby a smirk full of wicked amusement. โWhatโs going on? Iโm already ready to toastโdonโt tell me youโre chickening out now. If youโre too scared, go ahead and surrender. I might even be kind enough to let you walk away.โ
Mosby snapped, โIโll drink it! Iโm drinking now!โ
Yet, just as he stared into the murky liquid Andrew had handed him, cold sweat poured down his back. After all, just a sip of this stuff could send him straight to the afterlife.
That so-called backup plan Preston and Clifford mentionedโsaving him in time? Total bullshit. He knew those two old bastards did not care whether he lived or died.
Suddenly, everyone in the arena held their breathโAndrew had taken the lead and downed a small sip from Mosbyโs poison.
Then, he calmly set the cup down. โThe taste is a bit oddโฆ but manageable.โ
As he tilted his head and smacked his lips like he was sampling wine, Mosby felt his world collapse. โWhat the hell? Whyโs he still standing? Is he immune to poison? How is he fine?โ
Shocked out of his senses, Mosbyโs hands shook violently, and some of the poison sloshed over the rim, dripping onto the floor. The stone floor immediately hissed and sizzled as it corroded, holes and smoke appearing right away.
That was the last straw, and Mosbyโs courage shattered in an instant. The cup slipped from his hands, smashing into pieces on the floor.
โI wonโt drink it! I canโt drink it! I surrenderโI admit defeat!!โ Mosby screamed before collapsing onto the platform, knees hitting the stone with a dull thud.
That poison had eaten through marble. If he drank it, his insides would have turned to sludge.
The arena erupted into the loudest roar yet, and everyone stood, thundering applause ringing through the air.
โThe champion of the Grand Medical Summitโฆ Andrew Lloyd! Congratulations!โ Preston and Clifford had to muster every ounce of energy just to get the words out. Their wrinkled faces were stiff with rage and humiliation, but there was nothing they could do.
If they had been in Mosbyโs shoes, they would have pissed themselves before even holding the cup.
Rafael pointed furiously at Andrew, roaring, โThat drink wasnโt even poisonous, was it?!โ
Derekโs expression hardened. โMr. Driscoll, watch your words! The poison Andrew drank was prepared by Dr. Lake in front of everyone. How could it not be toxic?โ
Rafael snapped, โThen how the hell is Andrew still standing? I donโt know what kind of trick this is, but that cup needs to be inspected!โ
Andrew scoffed. โI didnโt expect the Driscoll family to produce someone who talks this much crap with a straight face.โ
With Rafael practically breathing fire, Andrew casually raised the cup and slammed it to the ground. Just like Mosbyโs, the floor beneath hissed and smoked, corroding instantly.
It was pure poison.
Rafael, Derek, and half the arena were left speechless.
Was Andrew even human?
Just like that, the match was settled, and all that remained was the award ceremony. Andrew accepted everything without hesitation, claiming every prize in full.
Most importantly, he snatched the fragmented treasure map straight from Cliffordโs hand and shoved it into his pocket.
Clifford gave a sheepish smile and muttered, โAndrew that mapโs useless to you, you know.โ
