His eyes locked on Fade Chen and said in a deep voice, "Dr. Chen, I don't mean to disrespect, but I'm the heir of the Tu Medicine Center and the prodigy of the Three Needles Tu. Such an illness is a challenge, I doubt that you can succeed."
Fade Chen snorted, "Others can't cure what you couldn't cure? You are too arrogant!"
Caesar Tu boasted, "My grandfather Jason Tu is touted as one of the few 'National Medical Saints' of the country's traditional medicine circle. I have learned at least 60% of my grandfather's medical skills so I think I can live up to the reputation!"
"National Medical Saint?" Fade Chen was baffled.
Mindy Wu quickly explained softly, "The National Medicine Saint, is an honorable title given as an appreciation to Chinese medicine, recognized by the country's officials and individuals from the medical industry. In the whole Chinese medicine circle, there are less than 20 people who have this title. It can be said that any National Medical Saint is considered as the top of the top in Chinese medicine."
Fade Chen nodded, finally understood Caesar Tu's outrageous behaviour. However, he did not plan to back off. He scoffed, "What does your grandfather's National Medical Saint title get to do with you?"
Fade's words touched Caesar Tu's weakness and his face become distorted.
After all, although he was called "Three Needles Junior", it was a spill- over of his grandfather's title the "Threes Needles Tu". Therefore, in the Chinese medicine circle, many people questioned his medical skills and level. He had only but shared his grandfather's glory, in order to enjoy such fame and status.
This perception made Caesar Tu unsatisfied and annoyed. So when Fade Chen hit his weakest link, his eyes burned with anger.
"Are you doubting my medical skills?" Caesar Tu said coldly.
Fade Chen replied lightly, "Medical skills are not inherited or learned through bragging! Whether one is capable or not, one has to try it first."
The strife between them was growing rapidly.
Charles Wu noticed the twist of event, quickly stood up and said, "It's all my fault. You two are both talented young people. Let's stop quarreling. I..."
Charles Wu wanted to persuade the two, but with Caesar Tu's attitude and Fade Chen's sarcasm, Caesar was reluctant to let it slide. He stated, "Uncle Charles, this is no longer about your illness. It's my personal and the Tu family's honor. Since Dr. Chen belittled my medical skills, dare I ask how about your medical skills?"
Fade Chen said blandly, "I don't praise my medical skills by speaking, I show it. The patients will know if the illness is cured or not"
His words were yet another mockery, Caesar Tu's face twisted even more. "Since Dr. Chen is so confident, I dare you on a challenge?"
"How do we compete?" Fade Chen asked flatly.
Caesar Tu took a look at Charles Wu then said, "Considering that we are going to treat Uncle Charles' illness, then let's treat him on the spot and see who gives the most effective outcome. Naturally, the winner will emerge."
"Sure!" Fade Chen accepted.
Caesar Tu did not expect Fade Chen would agree so effortlessly. He was a little surprised, but he squinted and continued, "If I win, you have to apologize to me for what you said just now. I won't tolerate anyone insulting my medical skills and reputation."
"Okay!" Fade Chen still looked collected. "But what if you lose?"
"I won't lose!" Caesar Tu said confidently. He paused for a moment and then said, "If I lose within the normal circumstances, I'll agree to any of your condition."
"Okay, let's start!" Fade Chen nodded.
Caesar Tu also nodded, then looked at Charles Wu and said, "Uncle Charles, sorry to trouble you."
