Chapter 21 - 21

The scene in the tourney hall was Gyeongwan and Yoo pointing knives at each other from a distance.

The two people's bodies were drenched in blood.

Taesan nodded his head after seeing the scene.

"They still didn't do anything futile."

Actually, it wasn't certain if Gyeongwan could cut Yoo's body.

How could he cut a lady he liked?

However, by looking at the atmosphere, they weren't hesitant to cut each other.

If there was no blade in Yoo's body, Taesan thought about reconsidering hiring Gyeongwan.

"I don't need to do that."

While Taesan was watching, two were attacking each other.

Blade clashing!

Blades clashed to let out a forceful flame.

Gyeongwan's knife stabbed Yoo's thighs.

Stab!

Yoo dodged it and aimed for Gyeongwan's neck by utilizing the movement.

Stab!

He dodged by moving his neck but the blade slightly touched the neck.

There was a blood cut.

Gyeongwan didn't mind his wounds and ran after Yoo.

Clash!

Gyeongwan had more experience and power. With force, Yoo had to step back.

Yoo leniently stopped Gyeongwan's attack.

If not, she would have been destroyed already.

Gyeongwan's attack was wild and strong.

Yoo calmly dodged the attack while opening her eyes widely.

Her body was still shocked but she waited until the end.

He would be tired at some point.

That moment came shortly. Yoo twisted her body and went to Gyeongwan.

Then, she stabbed him.

Stab!

Yoo's knife went through Gyeongwan's side.

Then, at the same time, Gyeongwan's palm hit Yoo's shoulder.

Yoo flew off to the side.

Gyeongwan went close to Yoo who was flying while bleeding on his side.

Stab!

The two people exchanged endless conflicting blades.

The wounds increased and they became slower.

Soon, the battle was over and they fell to the floor.

Four doctors who were waiting cured Gyeongwan and Yoo.

The doctor just observed and moved only when he needed to.

Once the treatment was over, the doctor took out the medicine with a smile.

"Now it's time to apply the medicine."

That made Gyeongwan and Yoo shiver.

"It may be a bit painful, but it's better than having a scar. Also, it's a very expensive medicine. Put this on."

The doctor applied a handful of medicine.

That made Yoo and Gyeongwan pale.

"I'm giving you enough of the medicine. You should be thankful to me. For sure."

The doctor who was approaching the two people seemed to be happy.

"You seem happy."

The doctor stopped while shaking his body as if he got hit by lightning from a voice.

Then, he slowly turned and looked next to him.

Taesan was next to him. He didn't realize when Taesan had come next to him.

Gyeongwan and Yoo didn't know as well and looked at Taesan in surprise.

"Are you here, My Prince?"

Taesan looked at the medicine which the doctor was holding.

It was in a big bottle and it was possible to sense via smell.

"What brought you here? I heard you won't be visiting for a while…."

Taesan lifted his lip angle.

"Why? Are you upset that I showed up way too early?"

"No way. I was waiting for when you'd show up."

"I understand. So, cure first. Isn't that what you were trying to apply?"

The vision that penetrates made the doctor sweaty.

"Sure."

The doctor applied the medicine to Gyeongwan with shaky hands.

"Ahhh!"

When the medicine contacted the wound, Gyeongwan shivered.

Yoo, who was looking at the scene, shook her eyes.

It was good to improve skills and gain experience, but the cure time after the battle wasn't familiar at all.

That's why looking at similar medicines made them surprised.

Taesan stood next to it and looked at the scene.

Soon, putting the medicine on Gyeongwan's wound was done.

Now it was Yoo's turn.

Yoo had to apply the medicine by herself.

That's why it was more painful.

Until the cure was over, Taesan just observed.

The doctor was relieved.

"The medicine is good."

"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."

"You made it?"

Taesan's comment was a little goofy.

The doctor responded while looking at Taesan's face.

"I guess so. I put 10 years of my life into this medicine."

"It's great that you've only spent 10 years on such medicine. Normally you'd improve what you teachers made."

The doctor became surprised.

"Huh? How did you..! Nevermind. I made it. Who else can make this besides me?"

Taesan laughed.

"Well, let's say you did. It's not important."

The doctor wanted to appeal but he closed his mouth after seeing Taesan's eyes.

It was rather chilly.

"Such medicine involves a good combination of ingredients."

The doctor's eyes were shining. He always had lots to say when there was a familiar topic.

"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."

As the doctor seemed to talk a lot, Taesan raised his hand.

The doctor closed his mouth. Also, something felt cold so he looked around.

Taesan didn't look at the doctor and looked at Yoo and Gyeongwan.

"It's good medicine, so deal with it. You will be fine shortly."

"Will it get better?" Yoo asked while opening her eyes widely.

"This medicine doesn't just cure the pain. It also increases the strength of skin, muscle, and bone."

Two people looked at the doctor and Taesan.

They didn't know it was such good medicine.

It wasn't only them who were surprised. The doctor was also surprised.

"Correct. That's why it has expensive ingredients. How did you know that?"

"It smelled like it?"

"Sorry? Smell?"

The doctor looked at Taesan with a confused face. Then, he looked at Gyeongwan and Yoo as if asking how it was possible.

'What, you believe this?'

Gyeongwan and Yoo believed what Taesan said.

It wasn't understandable, but he just let it go.

It wasn't worth questioning.

Gyeongwan stood up and made a pose.

"I didn't know it was such valuable medicine. I was criticizing your intent but I apologize and I thank you."

Yoo stood up as well and struck a pose.

"I thank you as well. I will apply the medicine with appreciation."

Taesan laughed.

"Shouldn't you be thankful to someone else? That medicine is made with my money."

The doctor looked around and spoke quickly.

"That's right. Two people can thank Taesan."

Taesan tapped Gyeongwan and Yoo's shoulder.

"You should really feel thankful."

Then, he moved his chin towards the doctor.

"I need to talk to you."

"Sorry? Me? Why…."

As Taesan saw the doctor with a murderous spirit, the doctor who became surprised followed.

His body was shivering with nervousness.

It seemed like a cow going to a slaughterhouse.

The doctor looked at Taesan with anxiousness.

Taesan looked at the doctor while being relaxed.

While the doctor didn't know what to do, Taesan began to speak.

"Stop this bullshit. Fifteen days is enough."

"Sorry? What bullshit? I don't know what you mean."

Taesan gave an icy look.

"If you make someone to insensitive to pain rather than allowing them to get used to pain, can they fight properly?"

"Are you saying to not use the medicine?"

"Change the formula. Don't give pain to them for your joy."

The doctor's eyes became really big.

"How did you know…..!"

"Perhaps, did you do anything other than this during the 15 days?"

"Not at all! I didn't do anything other than this!"

The doctor spoke loudly as he shivered.

He was curious as to who Taesan was. On the other hand, he didn't want to know.

If he investigated, he would be in big trouble.

"I'm giving you a final chance. I'm counting on you."

"Absolutely."

Taesan asked the doctor who seemed completely nervous, "What about the order I gave you?"

"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."

The doctor then mumbled, "By the way, how is your body?"

Taesan laughed.

The doctor's tone showed that he was worried but he had another intention.

In such cases, it was best to make him not think of anything else. Taesan put his hand out.

"Do it."

"Sorry?"

"Measure my heartbeat."

"Then, please excuse me."

The doctor gently held Taesan's wrist and began a diagnosis after taking a deep breath.

The serious face turned into a shocked face.

"It's quite better now."

The doctor just looked at Taesan.

"How… did you do this? How can someone connect a heartbeat in 15 days?"

"Now do you think I'm alive?"

Fifteen days ago, it was hard to distinguish him as a human or a ghost. However, it was certain now.

It was risky but he surely was alive.

The doctor asked unconsciously, "How did you manage to revive?"

Taesan became curious when he was asked.

"Well."

How did he revive? He must be dead with a ripped heartbeat.
