The indifference in her voice only fueled Selena’s humiliation and bitterness. If it weren’t for her clenched fist, digging into her palm as a reminder to keep calm, she might have lunged forward to slap Khloe right then and there.

Seeing Selena struggling to maintain her composure against Khloe, Sloane frowned slightly. Khloe was undoubtedly the biggest hurdle to her plans today. She had to get rid of Khloe before she had the chance to speak with Richard and ruin everything.

Sloane raised her head and exchanged a subtle glance with Conroy, who gave her a reassuring nod. That small gesture gave Sloane a sense of relief as she prepared for the upcoming competition.

After Selena’s awkward apology, Richard resumed his assessment. This time, however, the crowd no longer looked at Khloe with the same disdain and mockery they had before. Khloe had proven her worth, earning the right to remain on stage and be taken seriously.

Still, the atmosphere remained thick with tension, as everyone was unsure of what would happen next.

Richard couldn’t shake the strange feeling that settled in his gut. He was eager to see if Khloe could actually live up to the abilities she had so boldly claimed, but there was an unsettling discomfort too. He was wary of her unpredictable nature, like a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off.

After a brief pause to gather his thoughts, Richard made up his mind to go ahead with Conroy’s plan. Clearing his throat, he addressed the room, “Let’s move on to the next challenge. This time, it won’t just be a theory; it’ll be practical. Let’s see the task in action.”

As his words hung in the air, a door on one side of the hall creaked open. Staff wheeled in four hospital beds, each carrying a patient ready for surgery. The center of the hall, which had been empty moments before, now revealed a descending circular platform. To everyone’s amazement, it contained four fully equipped operating rooms.

The crowd gasped collectively, their eyes wide in disbelief as they took in the incredible sight.

It wasn’t just the platform’s stunning transformation that left them in awe, but also the state-of-the-art facilities in the operating rooms. They were stocked with a wide array of instruments and high-definition screens, rivaling those found in some of the top hospitals.

The four patients, all of whom had already signed volunteer agreements, were wheeled into the newly revealed operating rooms.

Richard went on, “These four patients are dealing with different cardiac conditions. Your task is to lead the surgeries for each of them within the set time limit. The results will be evaluated by a professional review team, who will consider surgical precision, trauma management, and the expected postoperative recovery. The patients you will operate on will be selected at random.”

The unexpected reveal of the operating rooms left everyone in stunned silence. When Richard announced that the patients would be selected randomly, the room buzzed with excitement and nervous chatter.

“This is incredible! You won’t know what kind of patient you’re working on. It’s all up in the air.”

“And don’t forget about the patient draw. Performing surgery in front of such a large crowd, with a time limit, really puts your mental toughness to the test.”

“Is this how Ouiswell does evaluations? This is absolutely nerve-wracking!”

Even the audience felt a sense of nervous energy just watching the operating rooms, and that was nothing compared to the pressure on the participants on stage.

In addition to Khloe and Sloane, there was a man and a woman. The man, clearly shaken, was visibly trembling, as if he was considering backing out. Seeing that everything was set, Richard gestured for everyone’s attention. “Alright, let’s draw lots.”

The group on stage made their way towards the drawing box, the air filled with palpable tension. Sloane paused for a moment before reaching out to take her turn, sneaking a quick glance at Khloe, curious to catch her reaction as she picked her lot.
