The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 171

* * *

Hei Haran was bewildered.

‘Why… did it turn out like this?’

She carefully reflected on past events. For the past few years, Hei Haran had been slowly cornered.

It was all because of her young Niece.

A Genius Physician who suddenly appeared.

Despite her age, she acted like a seasoned physician, overcoming all the sabotage she had orchestrated and gaining her current reputation.

‘We can’t watch any longer.’

‘Just kill her.’

‘If you won’t do it, our elder said no further support will be possible.’

The forces behind her had disgustingly changed their tune recently. Hei Biyu was threatening to them as well.

After all, the losses they suffered from the diseases Hei Biyu had personally traveled around treating for years were beyond description.

It was a method they had believed without doubt would dominate not only the Empire but the entire Continent for 10 years.

The astronomical costs invested here had essentially gone up in smoke, and the mood of the Eight Families participating in the experiment grew worse by the day.

Eventually, Hei Haran acknowledged that Hei Biyu’s shadow had reached right before her nose and decided to eliminate her.

She had received intelligence that Biyu would climb the Northern Mountain alone with her Father, and set out with help from the Eight Families.

Who would have thought it would fail.

‘Don’t think I have no evidence against you.’

The assassination failed. And her tail was even caught.

But was she supposed to tuck her tail and obediently kneel before that young Little One?

No.

There was only one thing Hei Haran could choose.

Among the Eight Families, the two families that had given Hei Haran the most support.

Carmen and Sinion excitedly provided her with troops, poison Ingredients, and spared nothing. They even handed over their weapons to use as Biochemical Weapons. They went so far as to lend her elite soldiers.

She hadn’t planned to take over this Family in such a destructive and barbaric way, but she had no choice.

The Family Head foolishly refused to acknowledge her talents!

But… why.

‘Arrest the Traitor Hei Haran who betrayed the Family immediately.’

Did it turn out like this?

A fierce battle unfolded before my eyes. The warriors of the Eight Families who sided with Hei Haran, and Hei Haran’s elite soldiers.

And the forces supporting the Family Head and Hei Biyu. Hei Biwon, Hei Birang.

It seemed like it would be evenly matched, but soon the tide of battle shifted overwhelmingly one-sided. It had to.

Because the Family Head, Hei Moran, was dominating the battlefield.

‘Why are Mother’s eyes…?’

Though her irises were pure white, different from normal, Mother was clearly ‘seeing’ ahead.

Hei Moran was an excellent physician and also a Wind Mage who had once made a name for herself with her combat abilities.

However, losing one’s sight was fatal for a Wind Mage.

Even though wind could substitute for other senses, she couldn’t use her abilities as precisely as when she could see.

That was also why the Family Head had stepped back on her own while not giving up her position.

But why…

Had she been hiding it from the beginning? Even from her own child?

Hei Haran’s subordinates and the warriors of the Eight Families who had raised their swords against the Family Head were gradually being suppressed or killed.

This place was no longer a contest arena.

It was merely a massive punishment ground for punishing criminals.

“Y-you won’t have time for this!”

Right, she still had one move left. The bottle she had dropped at the beginning! Inside that bottle were poison and pathogens that would lead to death upon infection.

Only her forces who had taken the antidote in advance would be safe. It would be useless to beg when they were about to die!

“How terrifying the bottle I dropped is…”

“Ah, this?”

Hei Haran’s head snapped up at the voice that suddenly cut her off mid-sentence.

There was her niece, held in her father’s arms. In her tiny hands was…

“What should I do? I got hold of this.”

The bottle that Hei Haran had thrown at the beginning was in her hands…!

Hei Haran’s eyes widened.

“You, how did you get that…!”

“Ah, you didn’t even look at the floor once after dropping it? You didn’t even know where it went.”

Green liquid sloshed inside the bottle in Biyu’s hand. Biyu smiled brightly.

“I asked Dad for help. I also asked him to make convincing sounds, right?”

If you could roughly guess what Hei Haran would do, it wasn’t difficult to prepare or respond.

Hei Haran belatedly realized that even her final move had already been read.

“You…!! Damn it! Let go, let me go!”

Because the Family Head’s massive wind was pressing down on Hei Haran herself, she could do nothing but stare at Biyu.

She couldn’t even bite her own tongue…!

“Yehun isn’t among the people you brought.”

The Family Head walked over with heavy steps.

Hei Haran ground her teeth.

In the scenery visible behind her, lightning was striking down. Hei Biwon was bursting into maniacal laughter like a madman.

On one side, water moved like it was dancing and pierced through people. It was Hei Birang’s ability.

Another one, her little brother Hei Bihu who should have been rampaging like a madman, was holding his daughter while only dealing with those charging at him.

Sorrow flowed out.

“Since when… have you been able to see?”

“Why didn’t you mobilize Yehun?”

The Family Head and her daughter threw different questions at each other.

Hei Yehun.

He was Hei Haran’s twin younger sister, and the son of the Family Head’s second daughter Hei Hyeran.

And he was also an outstanding warrior on Hei Haran’s side.

“If that child had been there, wouldn’t he have handled at least one of those madly rampaging guys?”

“You’re mocking me.”

“I’m asking a legitimate question.”

The Family Head’s foot firmly trampled on Hei Haran’s hand that was fixed by wind. Hei Haran couldn’t come to her senses from the humiliation.

“These hands were born to live as a physician, weren’t they.”

“Ha! If you wanted me to live like that, you should have given me that position and stepped down!”

“Someone without qualifications doesn’t have a chance.”

The Family Head looked down at her eldest daughter expressionlessly.

“My first child and your brother Hei Rang had excellent qualities as both a physician and warrior. My second son Soha was the most upright and justice-crying child among his siblings until he went missing.”

“What does that matter now!”

“I know you were involved in those two children’s deaths.”

“…!”

Hei Haran’s mouth snapped shut. However, the cunning woman quickly composed her expression.

“What strange talk is this? Why would I harm my brother and younger brother? Mother.”

“Because you resemble me.”

Biyu, who had been watching this entire situation while held in her father’s arms, blinked her eyes wide.

‘Wow… I didn’t know this either.’

There had definitely been two more sons above Hei Biwon. But even living several lives as Biyu, she could never know why they died or went missing.

Partly because she wasn’t interested, but also because no one investigated the truth and everyone hushed it up.

“Brother was…”

From Hei Bihu, her father, she could only sense an unusual aura flowing out, and guess through the Family Head’s words that he was a good person.

“Yes, daughter. You inherited my ambition exactly. In a more sinister and vile direction.”

“…What, what do you mean.”

“Even knowing belatedly and standing by was my way of acknowledging your talent in my own way, since punishing you wouldn’t bring those children back to life. But I admit it was my misjudgment.”

“…”

“That I was a wrong Family Head.”

The Family Head quietly declared.

The surroundings had become quiet at some point. Partly because all the enemies worth making noise had either died or been subdued.

And partly because Hei Biwon and Hei Birang, who had finished fighting, and the Family Head’s forces had fallen silent.

A gentle breeze treated those who were injured. It was a profound ability.

The Family Head slowly closed her eyes.

She closed her eyes, but had no intention of escaping from the price of her mistakes and misjudgments.

“Confine the criminal.”

* * *

“I expected it would happen… but there were some things that went beyond my expectations.”

I said while stretching out fully.

What I could see outside the window was the bright afternoon sky.

The ‘coup’ or ‘rebellion’ that occurred at dawn today had turned the family estate upside down once.

The spectators, physicians, and servants who had left their seats, as well as the guests who had visited here, couldn’t hide their shock.

And many were outraged by the fact that the Eight Families’ forces had dared to interfere in the Hei Family Estate’s affairs and even participated in Hei Haran’s rebellion by attacking.

‘Nothing makes a community stronger than a common enemy.’

Because of this incident, the Hei Family Estate would unite solidly. And that’s not all? The territory residents would be the same.

A time would come when it would be even more difficult for spies from other forces to operate.

– Baby, aren’t you tired?

Mother, who had gently settled down beside me, asked with a worried expression.

After the dawn incident, all those involved, including Hei Haran, were imprisoned and under strict surveillance.

Hei Haran had attempted suicide by poison several times during the arrest process and in prison, but was stopped each time.

Once, the Family Head even treated her directly, didn’t she?

Saying to taste hell while alive…

They really are of the same blood.

“Yes, I’m fine.”

I had given my opinion to the Family Head.

‘Family Head, I will treat all the patients here before returning. Will you allow me to?’

A rebellion was a rebellion. Although it was a contest I would clearly win anyway, I had intended to treat all patients and return regardless of how things turned out.

After all, what’s important are the patients, aren’t they?

The Family Head gave permission with an expression mixed with surprise and complexity.

So I had spent another half day treating people and only now returned home.

– You never know how fatigue might manifest, so you must rest well today. Make sure to drink the tonic medicine Mother made too.

“Hehe, yes. Thank you.”

My body, having finished both disinfection and showering, felt only refreshed. Mother’s gaze briefly turned elsewhere.

– How pitiful…

Mother covered her mouth with her sleeve and made a gloomy expression.

‘Well…’

Actually, I wasn’t the only one in my room. Where I glanced over. At the table, there were as many as three men who looked not just gloomy but downright somber.

They were Dad, Uncle, and Uncle.

They had been in that state ever since hearing from the Family Head about the brothers – Hei Rang and Hei Soha, who were my First Uncle and Second Uncle respectively.

– Brother Hei Rang and Soha were really good people.

Mother seemed to know them well too, as the sadness wouldn’t leave her pretty face.

“Good people usually… leave early. Maybe because they receive a lot of jealousy.”

I also muttered with a downcast expression, then quickly erased it.

“But isn’t it the role of us living people to ensure that those souls no longer suffer injustice in the afterlife?”

After saying this, I lifted my head up sharply.

“We have to attend the trial.”

Hei Haran’s trial.

And it would probably be a trial where no one would dare defend the criminal, leaving only a death sentence.

My eyes gleamed darkly.

“There’s also testimony I need to deliver to the Family Head.”

And for me…

Both my revenge and my father’s revenge still remained, didn’t they.
