Is there magic on Earth? (2)
***[Book of Creation: Chapter 10. Mu II]***
…..But the ‘Mu’ empire on Earth did not have smooth sailing.

The Earth had already been occupied by the Nephilim (mixed-race descendants of the Therion, Prous, and small Seyton races that remained on Earth).

These Nephilim were perfectly adapted to the harsh, mana-deprived environment of Earth.

In terms of mere physical condition, Terion of Maldek could never keep up with the Nephilim.

In the midst of the ongoing war, the Nephilim also felt the need to refer to the Therion race of the Mu Empire.

Because they could not be called the ancient race of Therion.

So the people of the Mu Empire came to be called ‘Elohim’.

It is a war between Elohim and Nephilim.

The Nephilim were far superior, as there were giants (Titans) with a strong Saitian bloodline, as well as a common race called ape-men who could unleash a massive amount of force in the hundreds of millions.

The Terrions (Elohim) of the ‘Mu’ Empire, who were barely able to use advanced techniques utilizing magic or mana by using ‘Mana Packs’, continued to suffer a tremendous numerical disadvantage.

However, the Mu Empire had reinforcements in the form of the planet Maldek.

The war that has continued for millions of years, starting 5 million years ago, has been a constant drain on resources.

But over time, the two civilizations began to mix little by little.

There was no significant difference in appearance and crossbreeding was possible.

In this way, the Terion settled in Maldek and returned. In other words, a hybrid of the Elohim and the Nephilim that had been left on Earth and evolved, was born, and their numbers gradually increased.

These mixed races of Elohim and Nephilim were called ‘Homo sapiens’ because their characteristics were so different.

At first, there were many half (1/2) mixed races, but as time passed, the mix became so complex that it was impossible to even determine their origins, such as quarter (1/4), 1/8, 1/16, etc.

However, depending on the dominant factor that showed a more dominant tendency, the war continued as the Nephilim blood was divided into ‘Cromanion’ and ‘Idaltu’, and the Elohim blood was divided into ‘Sapiens’… (omitted)

“First of all, there is no potential problem at the moment. This is a completely new drug. In other words, it is a new substance. Its basic structure and method are completely different from those of other existing pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, it is not easy to create a dispute over patents.”

“But if we look through all the patents we have, isn’t there something we can get at least one?”

“That’s it. It seems a little difficult. It looks like our researchers have already looked at it once while doing the first analysis report.”

“Hmm. If the clinical trial is completed without a hitch, there’s nothing more for us to get involved in. What should we do?”

“In the current situation, the best way to minimize the damage is to simply acknowledge the expected decline in sales of our antibiotics and reduce and change production facilities to other drug production facilities as soon as possible.”

“That’s the last step. Isn’t there any other way to do it besides the official method? Once the antibiotic is developed and released, how much are the expected sales?”

“If clinical trials are completed and the performance is as stated in the patent registration, I think it will reach $10 billion (KRW 11 trillion) in the first year and $20-25 billion (KRW 22-27.5 trillion) within two years. This is also a conservative estimate.”

“What? $10 billion? So what about the decline in sales of antibiotics that we mainly sell?”

“That is… After the new product is released, it is expected to drop to the current 70% in about a year. In two years, it will fall below 50%.”

“I’m screwed. Why is this happening as soon as I take over as head of the antibiotics division? Damn it. This is serious. Is it true that the current global antibiotics market is worth about $50 billion (KRW 55 trillion)?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“So does that mean that the new antibiotic will take over 50% of the global market in two years?”

“That may be a good number. It depends on the market price. We don’t know yet how much it costs to produce that antibiotic. But anyway, we’ve only just entered the first phase of clinical trials. We still have at least three to seven years. Clinical trials don’t end in such a short period of time. So we need to come up with countermeasures during that three to seven year period.”

“Wow. Is there no way to delay patent examination or approval? Pfizer’s influence over the FDA must be quite significant.”

“That’s it. The US government, no, the whole world is thirsty for new types of antibiotics. The US is also giving special privileges such as expediting FDA review of antibiotic candidates, granting additional 5-year exclusivity, and allowing approval with a small number of clinical trials. It’s not like anything else, but our words won’t work on antibiotics. In a way, this is a matter directly related to the survival of humanity.”

“Really? Oh, well, let’s move on from that for now. But even though I’m from a different headquarters, I know the names of most pharmaceutical companies, but this is the first time I’ve heard of MF Pharmaceuticals.”

“Until recently, MF Pharmaceuticals was a company specializing in the production of generic drugs called ‘Rayzen.’”

“Raizen? You mean the Raizen we used to get our anesthetics from? The one with the sales rights to some parts of the northeast?”

“Yes, that’s right. However, due to declining sales and worsening management, the company was recently acquired by a new company. The company name was immediately changed to MF Pharmaceuticals.”

“I know a little about Regen, but isn’t that the place that was developing anesthetics as new drugs? That’s why we blocked the extension of the anesthetic supply rights, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But how was it possible for such a company to develop such an amazing drug in such a short period of time?”

“During this corporate acquisition, it is clear that the acquirer handed over some new ingredients. It would be more accurate to say that they found a company that would analyze, develop, and produce the new ingredients. Since Rayzen was a place that focused solely on producing ‘generic drugs,’ its production facilities and personnel were more or less usable. Although they did some digging, the research personnel they scraped together to create a new anesthetic were also quite useful.”

“Hmm. If we’re going to find a loophole, we should dig into the parties involved in the acquisition negotiations, not MF Pharmaceuticals. First, let’s focus our efforts and find out all the information about the company that acquired Rayzen. I’ll also report to the CEO first. Do you have the first report from that researcher?”

“Yes, here it is.”

“No. You should come with me. I haven’t been in this department for long, so it shouldn’t be a big problem for you to go in and report. If you have specific questions, it might be a bit too much for me to do alone.”

“all right.”

“Damn. I used to love working in healthcare and then moving to the antibiotics department, but this is where I’m going to die. Ugh~”

Min-ki, who threw a huge bomb into the global pharmaceutical market, especially the antibiotic market, was on his way to meet a man named ‘Harrison Germain’, who was introduced to him by Emilia’s father (Zachary Diaz), without even knowing it.

These days, Min-ki’s interest is completely focused on ‘traces of magic existing on Earth.’

So, right after the new year of 2014, I was introduced to the person who had coaxed Emilia’s father into giving her the magic sword as a gift.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Levi Jeong.”

“Yes. Hello. My name is Harrison Jermain.”

“I’m sorry to come to you so suddenly.”

“It’s okay. What is your relationship with Zachary Diaz?”

“Ah. He’s someone I know personally. To be exact, he’s my girlfriend’s father. Anyway, I visited the Diaz family and saw the antique that Mr. Jermain gave me as a gift, so I’m contacting you because I’m interested in it.”

“Oh. I see.”

“Would you happen to be able to get some more antiques like that? I’m personally quite interested in them. Collecting antiques is one of my hobbies. I’m just starting out so I don’t know much about them, but I’m really drawn to the idea that they’re ‘more important than they look’.”

Min-ki spoke indirectly, using the expression that a person named Harrison said instead of the direct expression ‘magic’. And while talking, he secretly used the ‘mana scan’ magic. However, the person sitting in front of him, Harrison Germain, was not a magician. He was just an ordinary person.

“Ah. That… hmm. That kind of stuff is really hard to get. I had a hard time getting one myself. And if the person who got it for me finds out that I gave it to someone else who wasn’t ‘qualified,’ I’ll be in a bit of a difficult position. That’s why I hurriedly made an appointment after receiving a call from Mr. Diaz. I was also surprised when he contacted me about getting that kind of stuff. Rather than explaining it to you in detail, I wanted to ask you to come see it for yourself and give me your opinion.”

“Huh? Is that something important? It looks like an old Western weapon.”

“Huh. How should I explain this? Anyway, aren’t there often things in the world that are a little mysterious? Things that can’t be explained by science… Well, I can’t go into detail, but that’s the gist of it. My gift to Zachary Diaz was really a gesture of personal sincerity. It’s not something that you can get just by asking for it.”

“But, wouldn’t it be okay if I contacted the person who bought it and asked about buying it? I’m really drawn to it for some reason. It would be a shame to give it up like this.”

“Haha. That item is quite expensive. I can’t tell you exactly, but it is so expensive that ordinary people can’t even imagine it. The reason I was able to gift it to the Diaz family for personal reasons was because it was ‘broken’ and not ‘functional.’ If things were as they were, even the Diaz family’s wealth would not meet the minimum ‘purchasing qualifications’ for owning such an item. Therefore, no matter how much Revy Jeong wants it, additional purchases are impossible.”

‘Hmm. That means they definitely know about the magic sword, and that it is currently in a non-functional state. So at the very least, it’s certain that magic exists on Earth, and that there are people? Organizations? Something like that who know about it and can use it.’

“Oh~! Is there a minimum requirement to purchase that item? If you don’t mind, could you tell me what it is?”

“Well, I think I can tell you about that much. First of all, it is only secretly disclosed to those with a certain level of social standing, political power, or financial power. To put it simply, it is only allowed to individuals or families with assets of at least 1 billion dollars (1.1 trillion won).”

“A billion dollars?”

“Yes, that’s right. That’s the minimum requirement. So just think of it as looking at a nice item and stop paying attention…”

“Ah. I guess I introduced myself too roughly. I am someone who has fully met the minimum requirements that Mr. Jermain mentioned.”

“Yes? Mr. Diaz said that he is a promising young mathematician attending Harvard who is dating his daughter. He said that he is a foreign student who solved one of the six great puzzles in the world. Isn’t that right?”

“Of course that’s true, but I’m a lot richer than people know. I can’t give you the details, but I’m sure I have at least a billion dollars.”

“Haha. I didn’t recognize my precious guest. What a mistake. Mr. Levy Jeong is so young that I didn’t do enough research. I apologize. If what you said is true, you are more than qualified to be our client. You are a brilliant mathematician with a fortune of over 1 billion dollars and a clear leader in the future.”

“Ah. That’s great. Then can I get an introduction to something like that?”

“Please give me some time. This is a very thorough place, so I need some time to investigate for ‘certification.’”

“Yes, I understand. I will wait.”

Min-ki first secretly cast ‘Magic Marking’ and ‘Hide Mana’ on a man named Harrison Jermain.

Now, wherever this person is, Min-ki will be able to find him easily.

Through this person, we may also be able to find the organization(?) that knows about that ‘magic’.

And, thinking that they were an organization(?) that knew about magic, they avoided using any other threatening magic just in case.

If there is anyone who knows that this person came here through an introduction from the Diaz family, it is because any hasty use of magic could cause even the slightest harm to the Diaz family, especially to Emilia.

Besides, from what I’ve heard, I still don’t know anything about Min-gi.

So, if we just sit still, we might be able to infer their information power.

Min-ki did not directly mention MF Invest or MF Pharmaceuticals.

If it is possible to conduct an in-depth additional investigation into Min-gi with just these conditions, then it is certain that he is not just an individual, but an organization with a certain level of organizational power and information capabilities.

So I ended up giving a rough introduction on purpose.

Now it’s time to see the capabilities of that mysterious organization.
