The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 139

 

Cough! Cough! Cough cough!

 

“I’m fine, cough!”

 

“Don’t talk! Hei Bihu!”

 

“…I know.”

 

Hei Biwon rushed over and secured the child’s airway. Instead of hastily laying her down, he supported her body to prevent blood from flowing backward or blocking her airway.

 

Bang!

 

A whirlwind-like wind slammed ‘Nora’s’ body into the floor.

 

Bang! Thud! Crack!

 

“Ahahahahahaha!”

 

The woman giggled with laughter. The wind had torn holes in her body, but she was still delighted!

 

Because she no longer had to pretend to be Nora!

 

The operation was a success.

 

‘Nora, stay by my side while I’m at the barracks. I need someone to contact Kay if something happens!’

 

How convenient it was to have this woman called Nora when she was wondering how to approach Hei Biyu!

 

The real Nora? Her corpse would be rotting in some garbage dump, unrecognizable.

 

Everything was for the great family, Sinion.

 

‘Remove anything that interferes with my lord!’

 

Biyu staggered while leaning against Hei Biwon.

 

“Physician, physician! No wait, she’s the physician!”

 

“…I’ll bring someone right away.”

 

“Dad… don’t go.”

 

The child desperately grabbed onto Dad’s sleeve. Hei Bihu’s expression wavered.

 

What the woman had given her was deadly poison supplied by Sinion. However, it had been made to look and taste exactly like a Fatigue Recovery Pill to easily deceive the person taking it.

 

“Haha, hahaha! How dare you interfere with our work… but this is where it ends!”

 

Sinion’s agents remaining in the city thought the operation had failed anyway.

 

All because of that Little One physician who suddenly appeared!

 

Since Hei Jihye had been captured anyway, they decided to focus all their efforts on eliminating the physician who wouldn’t be helpful when they brought down the Hei Family later.

 

How foolish! They never imagined that a physician would so easily take poison.

 

It was then that the woman was giggling with laughter.

 

Biyu, who had been bleeding, covered her mouth with her sleeve and raised her head. Her face was pale.

 

“Having fun?”

 

Somehow the child’s voice came through clearly and distinctly. The laughing woman’s expression hardened.

 

For a child who had taken poison to be so calm, it must be her imagination.

 

However, Biyu smiled faintly.

 

While wiping away the blood.

 

“You don’t even know who got foolishly tricked. Right?”

 

“…What?”

 

Biyu desperately grabbed Uncle’s arm to keep from falling.

 

A triumphant smile spread across her round eyes.

 

“Do you really think the Nora you killed was actually human?”

 

At those words, the woman unconsciously recalled the ‘Nora’ she had killed.

 

The sensation of plunging her sword into that body was still vivid. She had definitely killed her. She had, but….

 

…No, had she really?

 

The moment Nora saw the water that Hei Birang, standing beside Biyu, had conjured, she realized.

 

Water Mage. And illusion.

 

‘…I’ve been tricked!’

 

But it was too late for regret.

 

* * *

 

‘What would Sinion do first if their operation failed?’

 

This was the first thought that came to mind as soon as I heard Sinion was involved in this matter.

 

‘What else would they do? They’d try to eliminate the cause.’

 

Among the Eight Families, they ranked high in cunning, so there was a high probability they’d act extremely when cornered.

 

Moreover, I had already thwarted two of Sinion’s major plans.

 

‘The ones here might know about what happened in Cheimik. Let’s assume they do.’

 

I thought about their capabilities. From their perspective, what means would they have to kill me?

 

A direct confrontation would be difficult due to the formidable martial power of Dad, Uncle, and my other uncle.

 

‘Since the Warriors seem to have been lent to Hei Jihye, assassination would also be difficult with the Warriors incapacitated.’

 

I settled on poisoning. Wasn’t that one of their most frequently used methods?

 

However, since I don’t use attendants, it would be impossible to disguise themselves normally and slip poison into my food.

 

In that situation, they would have needed to find a suitable candidate I wouldn’t be wary of.

 

Conveniently, while treating the Lord’s Youngest Son, I had formed a connection with Nora, Jeok Yunha’s subordinate.

 

‘Huh? Other colleagues? There aren’t any. Nora is the only one whose face is known in This City. We moved secretly, you see. In the back alleys.’

 

They would have heard this kind of answer from Kay too.

 

‘This Elder Sister is the one.’

 

Sinion would have thought the same.

 

Around the time I was setting up barracks in front of the Lord’s Castle, I asked Hei Birang, who was about to leave to deal with Hei Jihye, to create an illusion.

 

‘Make this illusion move around freely. And make the death seem realistic too. So they’ll be fooled.’

 

‘…Well, this brings back memories. How does a Little One like you know such deadly applications?’

 

Of course, I had asked for Nora’s cooperation along with a prior explanation.

 

As expected, Sinion attacked Nora, who was made of illusion. What happened next is as you can see.

 

Sinion’s subordinate, disguised as Nora, thought this was the end and struggled desperately.

 

“What you overlooked.”

 

I reached out my hand to Dad. Dad’s face had already turned pale white.

 

‘Ah, I feel a bit sorry…’

 

Actually, I had told my companions there would be a poisoning attempt. I said not to worry since I had taken an antidote in advance.

 

Of course, that was a lie.

 

To make Sinion’s spy reveal their true identity, dramatic staging was necessary.

 

‘But I did reveal that I could treat my own body…’

 

I felt my vision starting to blur as I dipped my hand in the water Dad was tremblingly pouring for me.

 

Water enveloped me. It found antidote ingredients from the herb pile I had prepared in advance and treated me.

 

‘I know this poison well, after all.’

 

Wasn’t Sinion quite cunning in the third round? So in the end, everything was in the palm of my hand.

 

I wiped the remaining blood with my sleeve and smiled.

 

“Poison doesn’t work on me.”

 

Sinion’s subordinate, who was bleeding profusely after being struck by Dad, widened their eyes.

 

“And I know your specialty. Sinion’s Earth Mages.”

 

“…”

 

“Earth Disguise is your main specialty, right?”

 

As if in response, something fell from the woman’s face with a dripping sound, as if being peeled off. It was dirt soaked with blood.

 

Inside the mask-like dirt shell, the woman’s real face was visible. Eyes glaring as if ready to kill.

 

But what was she going to do about it?

 

I grinned at the woman.

 

‘Thank goodness I knew about it.’

 

Now I felt like I could live.

 

“Just as I said, right?”

 

I clapped my hands.

 

“Now we’ve caught the last person we needed too!”

 

It’s a happy ending, hooray.

 

Let’s go home now.

 

I looked up with a bright smile, but.

 

‘…Oh no.’

 

One murderous face, no… three.

 

“…We’ll hear the explanation later.”

 

“Haha. I agree.”

 

“…”

 

I tried to brush it off with a smile. But there was one thing I had overlooked.

 

“Our lovely niece completely fooled Dad, Uncle, and even Little Uncle~”

 

The fact that their perception was extraordinary. And…

 

“Uh…?”

 

“Hei Biyu!”

 

“Hey!!”

 

My body tilts and falls over.

 

Why? I treated all the poison, didn’t I? The detoxification is finished, isn’t it? But I soon recognized this sensation of my eyelids closing.

 

Ah… Fatigue.

 

It was overwork.

 

Damn it!

 

‘This will make me look suspicious no matter what!’
