Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 278

took the bait (3)

I sold the drug to a man who wanted money.

He might have tried to duplicate my medicine.

I didn’t feel any particular emotions because I had so much money.

─Is that okay?

“what?”

─That rich guy. It’s impossible to analyze the ingredients of the medicine in just a month, but what if you analyze the medicine and mass-produce it? You have a lot of money worries, don’t you?

“Money? Money is the most abundant thing I have right now.”

What is he talking about now?

This is the thought that Seungwoo and Tamamo had at the same time.

The conversation was out of focus. Seungwoo, who was thinking back on her words, realized her intentions belatedly.

“I’m worried about money. That’s because I don’t have enough money to launder. There’s a lot of money that can be used in the dark.”

Mercenaries, assassins, drug dealers.

Money earned by robbing those who can only stay in the shade.

It took a lot of time and effort to put their money to good use. That effort was what caused their financial worries.

The money itself was so abundant that it was almost overflowing.

─Then wasn’t this a great opportunity to get a lot of money that could be used in the open?

“……You’re asking for a favor.”

─What?

“The guy who’s always behind me is asking about my plans so late. It doesn’t make sense.”

The person who knew Seungwoo’s plan best was Tamamo.

She always followed Seungwoo’s back and shared his gaze with him.

What each other is thinking.

We know each other best.

As they practiced sorcery and encountered various human figures, Seungwoo and Tamamo’s inner intimacy increased considerably.

So it didn’t make sense for her to ask such a question.

“It seems like you were quite concerned about wasting the medicine?”

─Well… … It would be nice to make a lot of money with that, right? Right?

“Yeah, it would be nice to make a lot of money. An implantable prosthetic limb is worth it.”

It’s good to have a lot of money.

A lot of money. A lot of gold and silver treasures. Money is as powerful as force in human society, so it is natural to be greedy.

But the injected prosthetic limb.

It was worth pursuing power beyond money.

“But anyone who finds only monetary value in this item is a lowlife.”

Things that can change the times are worth more than money.

The steam engine did it, and the Internet did it.

─Do you want something more than honor?

“I don’t care about fame.”

What Seungwoo wanted was a kind of power that was difficult to replace with money alone.

The reason why an item that could have been sold for a high price was sold for the low price of 100,000 won is because it is a form of power that is difficult to 100% replace with money and force alone.

It was none other than to seize power.

“My goal has always been the same: to place everything in the family under my feet.”

Just one power.

I’ve been growing my business by looking at just that one thing.

If you just get hold of that, money and force will come to you.

“The game is set, so all that’s left is to see how long they can dance on the palm of my hand.”

Now Seungwoo had nothing to do.

Just wait and see how things will turn out on their own, and when the time comes, you just have to harvest the sprouts that have sprouted from the seeds you have sown.

Injectable prosthetics produced monthly.

The four owners of that groundbreaking invention were made known to the world through the media.

As expected, two were used for sick people. Injectable prosthetics, as the drug was invented to heal people.

It was only natural for patients to use it.

But one person was different.

“Everyone, I will not use this medicine. My goal is to thoroughly analyze the ingredients of the medicine, mass-produce it, and allow everyone to enjoy the benefits of this groundbreaking invention!”

I want to make money.

No, I want to use it for the future of everyone in the world.

That was the statement from the person who received the third prosthetic hand from Seungwoo.

Drugs that can save dying people are not used for the patients, but for research.

The public reacted negatively to the remarks.

Because in their eyes, they saw people dying right away.

But with the continued propaganda and manipulation of public opinion, different opinions began to sprout among the people.

For example, if it is an item that is only going to be produced 4 times a month anyway, wouldn’t it be better to research how to mass produce it?

Public opinion is extremely positive about the nouveau riche’s remarks.

However, it wasn’t entirely a bad public opinion, so people reluctantly nodded their heads.

Yes, rather than saving one person right now, it might be better to research how to save as many people as possible.

Such public opinion has secretly eroded the public.

But people who had family members who were dying soon were not swayed by public opinion.

They appealed.

Please give me half. Not all research is likely to succeed from the start, so please give it to someone who can save lives.

Just half.

Those who were around people who were about to die appealed to emotions and sentiments rather than reason. Then the rich young man opened his mouth.

“I also know the sorrow of those who are dying on the sickbed. I am sitting in this position right now after my father passed away. But please, everyone, look at it from a broader perspective. What is more desirable: saving four people a month or saving hundreds of millions in the future?”

Look at it from a broader perspective.

If you look into the distant future, the rich young man’s words were right.

Now the public nodded their heads, saying that what he said was right.

Of course, the story went around from time to time.

‘But what about the people who are dying right now?’

Great country? Far future?

Everything is good.

But if my family were to die right now, who in the world wouldn’t want to save them?

As has been the case up to now.

Once again, public opinion provided the answer.

“Niletail Guild. I heard that you and Baek Seung-woo have partnered up to take one of the four medicines produced each month. Isn’t that tyranny?”

“It’s an S-class guild. If they fight all kinds of monsters, how many casualties will there be?”

“What are you talking about? Don’t you know who the leader of the Nine Tails Guild is? He’s from the Cheonho Baekga branch.”

“……uh?!”

The first topic of discussion was the third person to receive an implantable prosthetic hand, but the next topic was the group that received the fourth implantable prosthetic hand.

It was the Ninetails Guild.

“Shouldn’t this be suspected of collusion?”

“why?”

“Why! The guild leader is from a collateral line, and Baek Seung-woo, who made the medicine, is the head of the Cheonho Baekga family. They are from the same family, so how could there not be collusion and corruption?”

At first, there was a lack of information, so all kinds of speculations were made.

But as information became clearer and circumstances revealing a relationship between the two emerged, public opinion began to take on a clearer shape.

“What the hell are you talking about? You didn’t see that video, did you?”

“What video?”

“A video of the two facing off and almost fighting. If you search for it, it’ll come up right away.”

Ninetails’ guild leader, Baek Seung-woo.

Although the two are from the same family, they have the worst relationship.

No, to be exact, the entire Cheonho Baekga was opposing Baek Seung-woo.

The press got involved in this interesting gossip, interviewing people who had worked at the mansion.

As a result, everyone came to know that Baek Seung-woo was in a position of being excluded from the Nakdonggang Ori-al and Cheonho Baekga.

Of course, in the process, Seungwoo’s misdeeds and past came out, but that wasn’t what was important in public opinion at the time.

Baek Seung-woo was a genius magician who provided medical technology and clues to extending life, and the public was generous to geniuses.

The public directly turned a blind eye to some mistakes.

On the other hand, the guild had a different position.

They had not done anything great like Seungwoo, but they were receiving one of those precious drugs every month. In the eyes of the people, it was absurd that they had not done anything great, but were just receiving prosthetic limbs every month.

“No, it’s the largest S-class guild in the country, and it’s ranked 1st or 2nd in the world in terms of military power. The talents in such a place would be world-class. Why are you complaining so much about not stocking up on medicine for those people?”

“You didn’t see that article. Ninetails has had zero deaths in the last five years.”

“There isn’t any at all?”

“Yeah, the last time someone died in Ninetails was 14 years ago.”

“So… you’re saying you’re going to take medicine even though you don’t need it right now?”

Before we knew it, negative public opinion toward Ninetails had increased.

The best in the country, the strongest in the world.

The Nine Tails Guild, which had been promoting a short slogan to the world, had fallen into such a swamp. The cause was a small pill that was not even the size of a hand.

“Does this make sense right now?!”

A dazzling office.

bang!

A desk in a pure white office decorated with all sorts of expensive items collapsed.

The collapsed desk left no trace.

What used to be a desk has become breadcrumbs.

The particles were that fine.

It was enough to roughly estimate the strength of the person who slammed his fist into the desk. Breaking something is a very easy task for superhumans, but it took a lot of trial and error and enlightenment to break it so evenly.

Moreover, the desk that was turned to powder was made of specially processed wood.

It was an object that was difficult to damage even with a full-power attack from a C-class player.

The person who broke the object was someone who has been making headlines recently.

In a negative way.

“I can’t believe this happened because of that one contract!”

bang!

One punch and the chair broke.

bang!

When I rolled my feet on the floor, the floor caved in.

thud!

With three punches, the wall burst like a sheet of paper.

The man, who had no way to control his anger or control himself, released his magic power along with his anger. Then, a terrifying energy descended through the building.

The place he was currently at was the headquarters of the S-class guild, Ninetails.

Inside the building, all of the guild members were players of considerable skill.

New recruits and office workers are at least Class B. Regular combatants are Class A.

All of the guild’s core members and executives were S-rank.

But even they couldn’t help but shiver at the ominous air that was seeping down from the office on the roof of the building.

The B-class players did their best to hold out, but soon they all passed out.

Half of the Class A members had already passed out, and the rest were on the verge of collapsing.

The S-class overcame the spirit. It didn’t simply endure, but resisted and fought back. However, it couldn’t stop its limbs from instinctively shaking.

No matter how hard I try to calm down.

Your body keeps sending you signals.

There is someone nearby who can kill you, so run away quickly.

S-class players brainwashed themselves into thinking that it wasn’t like that.

Although they tried to console themselves by telling themselves that their guild leader would never kill his guild members, it was impossible to hide the feeling of ‘what if…?’ as the murderous intent encroached upon the building.

They just waited for this moment to pass.

But the media became even more furious, and the guild leader’s anger at the building being encroached upon grew.

That kind of murderous spirit eventually exploded one day.

“Hello. Long time no see?”

“……My lord.”

Baek Seung-woo came to the guild building.
