The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 26

Episode 26. True Education (2)

Sreung!

The guards drew their swords.

Gamblers gathered in an underground gladiatorial arena. Some promoters and gang members who own gladiatorial arenas. This happened before countless others could even react.

“everyone! Arrest everyone on the scene and kill anyone who resists!”

The commander’s stern cry.

The sound of clanking armor.

A guard of 150 men advanced.

A subjugation without compromise began.

The table turned over. People fell and struggled to run. But the eyes and ears of the guards were ahead of them. There was no mercy in the drawn sword, and the kicks and shouts were like an iron wall.

Many people were subdued and arrested. In the face of a thorough suppression operation, all members of the gambling promoter organization were reduced to mere prey.

They couldn’t understand. Why did this happen? Why on earth did the Royal Guard storm into the underground gladiatorial arena that had been operated so secretly? I couldn’t understand it and had no way of knowing.

‘of course. ‘How would you know that?’

The suppression operation proceeds smoothly.

Raquiel smiled as he looked at that figure. Suddenly, I remembered what happened before I left the villa. Was it still afternoon before the sun set?

‘Tonight, we must mobilize the entire force of the Royal Guard deployed at the villa.’

‘yes?’

The commander of the royal guard of the villa opened his eyes wide. Soon his complexion hardened slightly.

‘Your Majesty, the mission of the Royal Guard stationed here is to guard the royal palace and protect Your Majesty.’

‘So like a private soldier, he can’t be mobilized anywhere? Even if it’s my instructions?’

‘I’m sorry, but you are correct.’

‘Then you must follow my instructions tonight.’

‘yes?’

‘Something will happen to protect me.’

No further details or purpose were given. If you do as you are told, you will find out naturally. That’s all I said.

The commander was still puzzled, but eventually accepted this order. This person has been following me from a distance since I left the villa with Lord Gardin. And the area near the restaurant where the underground gladiatorial arena was located was secretly blocked.

Thanks to this, this prophecy(?) also came true.

‘Promoter Koosman. As expected, it’s thanks to that person following me.’

A bitter smile came out.

Actually, it was what I expected. This was because Koosman, the promoter of the novel Demon Sword Emperor, always behaved that way.

‘If there was a person I was suspicious of who seemed to pose even the slightest threat to me, I immediately followed them. They used a henchman skilled in kidnapping and torture. In this way, he protected his position by exploiting the opponent’s weakness or committing murder without hesitation.’

I thought it would be the same this time too. So I deliberately contacted Koosman.

I’m going to buy Damien.

How much will it cost?

By proposing a deal that the other party could not possibly agree to, and confirming it, we exposed our existence.

And what was the result?

It was as expected.

Tailing followed immediately. Thanks to that, the commander of the Royal Guard saw it….

‘He was extremely angry.’

They dared to follow the royal family, especially the crown prince. He even had a weapon in his hand.

The ending was obvious.

As soon as they approached this side, they were subdued by the Royal Guard. The captain of the Royal Guard presented the following crime to Kusman’s confidant who had been following him.

‘Attempted assassination of the royal family.’

That was the end of it.

There was no need to order this separately.

With the lid properly opened, the commander moved the guards in perfect order. They completely blocked the restaurant and took control of the passage leading to the underground gladiatorial arena. They advanced without any time to breathe.

And now, they were showing signs of indiscriminately arresting and killing everyone in the gladiatorial arena.

‘Whoa, that’s no joke.’

Rakiel was amazed as he watched the Royal Guard’s subjugation operation. I thought it was indeed the elite of the elite. Thanks to my experience working as a police officer, I was able to see that aspect even more clearly.

And at the same time, I felt happy.

By serving justice against an underground organization like this today? Or for scolding those who drank the blood of gladiators?

Not at all.

In the first place, I had no interest in achieving justice. It has been like that since long ago in Korea. I was too busy just making a living. I had to go to college without my parents. There is no part-time job I haven’t tried. In the meantime, I even studied.

It was a life I lived by literally crawling up and down. I have never felt the need to take kindly care of others.

It was still the same now.

He only had a few months left to live. It was difficult to even increase it. But I had no time or intention to waste time on justice or anything like that.

So there is only one reason why I feel happy now.

‘That’s enough now. This is almost done. ‘I was able to secure valuable patients who would give me a lot of bonus life with a full course comprehensive gift set.’

Rakiel clenched his fists.

If only things went smoothly like this.

If only you came to your senses.

It will definitely happen.

But he wasn’t relieved.

Because the work isn’t over yet.

“Hey everyone.”

He approached and called the three guards who were guarding him.

“Follow me.”

He led the guards and entered the dark passage inside the gladiatorial arena. Because there’s a guy over there that we definitely need to catch tonight.

♣

“…gasp! “Huh!”

Breathing heavily.

Koosman was out of breath. Sweat poured down from my entire body like rain. On the other hand, I was gritting my teeth internally.

‘Fucking hell!’

He couldn’t believe what was happening.

There were no signs or signs. But just like this, the Royal Guard came in. It was something I had never imagined or expected.

‘How could he?’

He remembered the guy who had proposed a cheeky deal to him earlier.

I’m going to buy Damien.

How much will it cost?

It was so absurd that the little girl who was so rude was so embarrassed. He immediately followed me. He’s probably a liaison from another organization. I guess this is bait to gauge their reaction. I just thought of it that way.

So I tried to use it as an example.

They kidnapped him, tortured him, killed him horribly, cut him into pieces and tried to throw his body in the river. I wanted to spread awareness to those who sent that guy.

But looking at it now?

‘How… can he be the crown prince?’

I couldn’t believe it.

At first, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. But the Royal Guard that followed him was real. It was a situation where I couldn’t help but believe it.

‘why? Why does the Crown Prince want to buy Damien? Why me? why?’

My mind was confused.

But even in the meantime, the subjugation operation was progressing very steadily. Behind the scenes, the guards were moving without mercy. Someone who tried to run away was hit by a fist with a steel gauntlet and had his jaw shattered. Someone who resisted had their wrist broken in an instant.

The scream gave me goosebumps.

‘If you get caught… it’s the end!’

Fortunately, he was very fast. He was also more familiar with the structure of the underground gladiatorial arena than anyone else.

He took advantage of all the landmarks around him. The shadow created by the fallen table light being turned off, the martial arts scene with the iron bars erected, and sometimes even the silhouette of someone running away were thoroughly used.

Thanks to this, I was able to move through blind spots where the guards could not see. That’s how I left the main hall of the gladiatorial arena.

I ran through the dark passage to the liquor store. There was a secret passage there that could save him.

‘Hook, just a little more!’

All you have to do is go out there. No matter how strong the Royal Guard is, they won’t know the passage. In the first place, it is an escape route that only the core executives of the organization that runs the gladiatorial arena and a few promoters know about.

‘done! ‘They’re all here!’

Little by little, a ray of hope appeared.

Koosman ran even harder.

The door to the liquor store was right in front. A bright smile appeared on his lips. And the moment you open the storage door.

“…uh?”

His smile cracked.

“What what?”

At the same time he muttered in an incredulous voice.

Sreung!

Three swords were aimed at him.

Kusman took a step back.

Those who aimed their swords also advanced that much. The faint light that seeped in through the open warehouse door illuminated those holding the sword.

Kusman’s eyes wavered.

‘Guardian? ‘How are these guys here?’

Did he come in advance?

As if it had been waiting for this side.

It was then.

“I knew you would come here as expected. It’s obvious. “Isn’t that right?”

“…!”

A fourth figure walked out from the darkness of the warehouse. The moment Kusman saw that, his eyes widened. The guy who provoked me earlier by asking me to make a deal with him. But in reality, he was the crown prince.

Rakiel grinned.

“Don’t you understand what’s happening now? “No matter how much I think about it, I still don’t know why I was waiting for you here, right?”

“….”

Koosman was speechless.

Rakiel’s smile turned happy.

‘It must be confusing.’

Koosman does not know that this person has read the novel Demon Sword Emperor. Therefore, I don’t know that they knew about the existence of this passage through the novel.

‘In the original work, a big fire broke out here after Crown Prince Rachiel died.’

Suddenly, the contents of the novel Demon Sword Emperor came to mind.

A fire broke out in the underground gladiatorial arena. It was because of the 2nd Prince’s underground organization suppression operation. Thanks to that incident, Damien gained freedom. Taking advantage of the chaos of the fire, they used this passage to escape.

In the meantime, I suffered serious burns on my back. Coincidentally, it was the place where the stigma was engraved. Thanks to this, even the curse of the stigma was broken. It was truly freedom.

Rachiel folded the plot of the novel into a corner of her memory drawer. And he spoke to Kusman.

“It’s none of your business why I’m here. “Anyway, I’m disappointed.”

“….”

“Actually, I’m a person who really values the cost of medicine.”

“…what?”

“The cost of medicine. Medicine price. I don’t know anything else in the world, but I really hate having to pay for medicine. “I hate it when others do that to me, just as much as I hate it when people do that to me.”

“What is that…”

“So that’s what I asked earlier. How much money has been accumulated for the painkillers that were sent to Damien? How much can I pay? “Don’t you remember?”

“….”

“Anyway, I proposed a deal as a favor. okay? “You are the one who took away that favor.”

“What… nonsense!”

Koosman was furious.

I thought I couldn’t waste time like this. If you wander around, other guards will come. Kusman made a decision and pulled out two daggers from his waist. He quickly rushed towards the three guards.

And was robbed in one blow.

Kwajak!

“…!”

The guard’s gauntlet fist crushed Kusman’s nose. Kusman’s dagger could not even reach the guards.

That was the end of it.

“Gagging!”

Kwadangtang!

Kusman collapsed with a bloody face. Two guards pointed their swords at him.

“…Geueueuu!”

Kusman struggled like an insect.

But I couldn’t get up again. Instead of standing up and resisting, he quickly knelt down. I looked up at the guards with pleading eyes.

“I was wrong.”

Was it true education because I was beaten properly and fell down? Kusman began to beg with his face covered in blood. He bowed his head towards the guards and held out his hands in supplication.

“I think I dared to resist out of foolish thinking. I reflect. So please don’t hit me any more. I’ll just be quiet, so take my hand… “Please just finish tying it.”

“….”

The guards looked down at him with disdain. I can’t believe I’m being punished like this for just getting hit once. I wondered if there were all these guys.

One of the crew members took out a rope for capture. Koosman hid his inner smile at that sight. A light of cruel joy passed through his eyes.

‘done. ‘You got caught.’

He recalled his specialty.

Combat using daggers?

It wasn’t.

It’s just a means of self-defense. His true specialty was sneak attacks using poison.

Like right now.

…Nope!

His tongue pushed one of his lower molars outward. The molars were easily pushed out of the gums. No, it wasn’t a molar. It was a capsule shaped like a molar.

The moment the capsule leaves the gums.

Crack!

He bit down hard on the capsule.

The device inside the capsule started operating.

‘5 seconds. After 5 seconds, this capsule bursts.’

And it will cause a highly toxic explosion, causing great damage to people around it. Exposure to the poison will immediately paralyze the face. If you are unlucky, you will go blind. What if you’re unlucky? It will cause breathing difficulties and lead to death.

‘Then I can run away leisurely!’

Now I will spit out the capsule forcefully. Immediately after that, it will roll off the floor and take off. That’s it. Three guards who are exposed to a highly toxic explosion without even knowing it will be easily incapacitated.

What after that?

All you have to do is slit the prince’s throat and run out of the passage.

‘So… you guys are finished!’

Koosman counted the numbers in his head.

5 seconds.

I rolled the bitten capsule in my mouth and placed it on my tongue.

4 seconds.

I took a breath and curled my tongue.

3 seconds.

Aim the capsule with your tongue like a spoon…

tup!

A hand reached out from nowhere.

I covered this person’s mouth.

“…!”

Koosman was astonished.

He raised his urgent gaze. I was able to find the guy who had his mouth covered with his hand.

Crown Prince Rachiel.

The guy was smiling meaningfully.

He said something even more meaningful.

“Uh huh. Where are you trying to spit out something carelessly? “Don’t you know social distancing?”

“…town?”

Koosman was astonished.

Suddenly, a horrifying realization resonated in my mind.

‘This guy… no way… does he know everything, even my secret trick?’

That moment.

Push!

A poisonous capsule exploded in Kusman’s mouth.
