chapter 21

nThe scene in the tourney hall was Gyeongwan and Yoo pointing knives at each other from a distance.
nThe two people’s bodies were drenched in blood.
nTaesan nodded his head after seeing the scene.
n“They still didn’t do anything futile.”
nActually, it wasn’t certain if Gyeongwan could cut Yoo’s body.
nHow could he cut a lady he liked?
nHowever, by looking at the atmosphere, they weren’t hesitant to cut each other.
nIf there was no blade in Yoo’s body, Taesan thought about reconsidering hiring Gyeongwan.
n“I don’t need to do that.”
nWhile Taesan was watching, two were attacking each other.
nBlade clashing!
nBlades clashed to let out a forceful flame.
nGyeongwan’s knife stabbed Yoo’s thighs.
nStab!
nYoo dodged it and aimed for Gyeongwan’s neck by utilizing the movement.
nStab!
nHe dodged by moving his neck but the blade slightly touched the neck.
nThere was a blood cut.
nGyeongwan didn’t mind his wounds and ran after Yoo.
nClash!
nGyeongwan had more experience and power. With force, Yoo had to step back.
nYoo leniently stopped Gyeongwan’s attack.
nIf not, she would have been destroyed already.
nGyeongwan’s attack was wild and strong.
nYoo calmly dodged the attack while opening her eyes widely.
nHer body was still shocked but she waited until the end.
nHe would be tired at some point.
nThat moment came shortly. Yoo twisted her body and went to Gyeongwan.
nThen, she stabbed him.
nStab!
nYoo’s knife went through Gyeongwan’s side.
nThen, at the same time, Gyeongwan’s palm hit Yoo’s shoulder.
nYoo flew off to the side.
nGyeongwan went close to Yoo who was flying while bleeding on his side.
nStab!
nThe two people exchanged endless conflicting blades.
nThe wounds increased and they became slower.
nSoon, the battle was over and they fell to the floor.
nFour doctors who were waiting cured Gyeongwan and Yoo.
nThe doctor just observed and moved only when he needed to.
nOnce the treatment was over, the doctor took out the medicine with a smile.
n“Now it’s time to apply the medicine.”
nThat made Gyeongwan and Yoo shiver.
n“It may be a bit painful, but it’s better than having a scar. Also, it’s a very expensive medicine. Put this on.”
nThe doctor applied a handful of medicine.
nThat made Yoo and Gyeongwan pale.
n“I’m giving you enough of the medicine. You should be thankful to me. For sure.”
nThe doctor who was approaching the two people seemed to be happy.
n“You seem happy.”
nThe doctor stopped while shaking his body as if he got hit by lightning from a voice.
nThen, he slowly turned and looked next to him.
nTaesan was next to him. He didn’t realize when Taesan had come next to him.
nGyeongwan and Yoo didn’t know as well and looked at Taesan in surprise.
n“Are you here, My Prince?”
nTaesan looked at the medicine which the doctor was holding.
nIt was in a big bottle and it was possible to sense via smell.
n“What brought you here? I heard you won’t be visiting for a while….”
nTaesan lifted his lip angle.
n“Why? Are you upset that I showed up way too early?”
n“No way. I was waiting for when you’d show up.”
n“I understand. So, cure first. Isn’t that what you were trying to apply?”
nThe vision that penetrates made the doctor sweaty.
n“Sure.”
nThe doctor applied the medicine to Gyeongwan with shaky hands.
n“Ahhh!”
nWhen the medicine contacted the wound, Gyeongwan shivered.
nYoo, who was looking at the scene, shook her eyes.
nIt was good to improve skills and gain experience, but the cure time after the battle wasn’t familiar at all.
nThat’s why looking at similar medicines made them surprised.
nTaesan stood next to it and looked at the scene.
nSoon, putting the medicine on Gyeongwan’s wound was done.
nNow it was Yoo’s turn.
nYoo had to apply the medicine by herself.
nThat’s why it was more painful.
nUntil the cure was over, Taesan just observed.
nThe doctor was relieved.
n“The medicine is good.”
n“Are you referring to this medicine? This medicine is a medicine made through a 10-year investment. There is some pain, but it has great performance. This wound will be all healed before tonight.”
n“You made it?”
nTaesan’s comment was a little goofy.
nThe doctor responded while looking at Taesan’s face.
n“I guess so. I put 10 years of my life into this medicine.”
n“It’s great that you’ve only spent 10 years on such medicine. Normally you’d improve what you teachers made.”
nThe doctor became surprised.
n“Huh? How did you..! Nevermind. I made it. Who else can make this besides me?”
nTaesan laughed.
n“Well, let’s say you did. It’s not important.”
nThe doctor wanted to appeal but he closed his mouth after seeing Taesan’s eyes.
nIt was rather chilly.
n“Such medicine involves a good combination of ingredients.”
nThe doctor’s eyes were shining. He always had lots to say when there was a familiar topic.
n“Absolutely. Even if it is the same ingredient, the combination can make a different effect. Also, the order is important. Different orders can make completely different medicines.”
nAs the doctor seemed to talk a lot, Taesan raised his hand.
nThe doctor closed his mouth. Also, something felt cold so he looked around.
nTaesan didn’t look at the doctor and looked at Yoo and Gyeongwan.
n“It’s good medicine, so deal with it. You will be fine shortly.”
n“Will it get better?” Yoo asked while opening her eyes widely.
n“This medicine doesn’t just cure the pain. It also increases the strength of skin, muscle, and bone.”
nTwo people looked at the doctor and Taesan.
nThey didn’t know it was such good medicine.
nIt wasn’t only them who were surprised. The doctor was also surprised.
n“Correct. That’s why it has expensive ingredients. How did you know that?”
n“It smelled like it?”
n“Sorry? Smell?”
nThe doctor looked at Taesan with a confused face. Then, he looked at Gyeongwan and Yoo as if asking how it was possible.
n‘What, you believe this?’
nGyeongwan and Yoo believed what Taesan said.
nIt wasn’t understandable, but he just let it go.
nIt wasn’t worth questioning.
nGyeongwan stood up and made a pose.
n“I didn’t know it was such valuable medicine. I was criticizing your intent but I apologize and I thank you.”
nYoo stood up as well and struck a pose.
n“I thank you as well. I will apply the medicine with appreciation.”
nTaesan laughed.
n“Shouldn’t you be thankful to someone else? That medicine is made with my money.”
nThe doctor looked around and spoke quickly.
n“That’s right. Two people can thank Taesan.”
nTaesan tapped Gyeongwan and Yoo’s shoulder.
n“You should really feel thankful.”
nThen, he moved his chin towards the doctor.
n“I need to talk to you.”
n“Sorry? Me? Why….”
nAs Taesan saw the doctor with a murderous spirit, the doctor who became surprised followed.
nHis body was shivering with nervousness.
nIt seemed like a cow going to a slaughterhouse.
nThe doctor looked at Taesan with anxiousness.
nTaesan looked at the doctor while being relaxed.
nWhile the doctor didn’t know what to do, Taesan began to speak.
n“Stop this bull**. Fifteen days is enough.”
n“Sorry? What bull**? I don’t know what you mean.”
nTaesan gave an icy look.
n“If you make someone to insensitive to pain rather than allowing them to get used to pain, can they fight properly?”
n“Are you saying to not use the medicine?”
n“Change the formula. Don’t give pain to them for your joy.”
nThe doctor’s eyes became really big.
n“How did you know…..!”
n“Perhaps, did you do anything other than this during the 15 days?”
n“Not at all! I didn’t do anything other than this!”
nThe doctor spoke loudly as he shivered.
nHe was curious as to who Taesan was. On the other hand, he didn’t want to know.
nIf he investigated, he would be in big trouble.
n“I’m giving you a final chance. I’m counting on you.”
n“Absolutely.”
nTaesan asked the doctor who seemed completely nervous, “What about the order I gave you?”
n“I’m working on it. I’m collecting every detail from the Golden Wall clan. You told me not to miss a single detail so there will be a result shortly.”
nThe doctor then mumbled, “By the way, how is your body?”
nTaesan laughed.
nThe doctor’s tone showed that he was worried but he had another intention.
nIn such cases, it was best to make him not think of anything else. Taesan put his hand out.
n“Do it.”
n“Sorry?”
n“Measure my heartbeat.”
n“Then, please excuse me.”
nThe doctor gently held Taesan’s wrist and began a diagnosis after taking a deep breath.
nThe serious face turned into a shocked face.
n“It’s quite better now.”
nThe doctor just looked at Taesan.
n“How… did you do this? How can someone connect a heartbeat in 15 days?”
n“Now do you think I’m alive?”
nFifteen days ago, it was hard to distinguish him as a human or a ghost. However, it was certain now.
nIt was risky but he surely was alive.
nThe doctor asked unconsciously, “How did you manage to revive?”
nTaesan became curious when he was asked.
n“Well.”
nHow did he revive? He must be dead with a ripped heartbeat.
