The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 221
The Crown Prince stopped muttering and made a twisted smile.
‘Do I look ridiculous?’
To think the news delivered after the attack was something like this. Wasn’t it obvious to anyone? It was a trap.
However, even knowing it was a trap, he couldn’t not go. It was something he wanted so desperately.
At the same time, if there was a physician in the world who could manufacture the ‘Immortality Elixir’. It was certainly that damned Family Head of the Hei Family.
The Crown Prince clenched and unclenched his fist.
“Did they say to come with only a small number of people?”
“Yes…!!”
The Crown Prince rubbed his chin.
How dare a mere insect tell me to come? Fine, I’ll go. But there’s no need to take those words at face value.
“Go and have the personnel I mentioned stand by!”
“Yes!”
And when the sunset came. Countless personnel had arrived at the location Hei Biyu had mentioned.
Hei Biyu, who was waiting at the front leading the Hei Family Warriors, seemed flustered by the unexpected number and slightly frowned her delicate brow.
The Crown Prince was shameless.
“…I’m sure I said a small number, Your Highness.”
“Ah. It seems your standard and my standard are different?”
The number of personnel from each camp was clearly different. Hei Biyu stared at the Crown Prince’s face intently, then shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, fine.”
“You weren’t lying, were you?”
“If you thought so, why did you come here?”
The Crown Prince was speechless. Because it was true. On one hand, he absolutely didn’t want his desperation for the Immortality Elixir to be discovered.
“But unlike someone, I don’t deceive with lies. I swear on my ability. I will show you what you desired.”
“…”
For some reason, the Crown Prince was bewildered by Hei Biyu’s oath, while inwardly sneering fiercely.
Wasn’t she stupid? Of course, his vile inner thoughts were being extremely wary of her.
“However, before showing you that medicine, there’s something you need to see.”
“What? That’s different from what we discussed. Are you deceiving me now…!!”
“Didn’t I say I would show you? Surely you’re not scared because of those personnel? Like a frightened bastard.”
Such vulgar profanity in front of royalty! And mocking me on top of that? The Crown Prince gritted his teeth at Hei Biyu’s sneer. However, he soon decided to maintain his composure.
This location wasn’t far from where the barracks were. That meant he could signal and rouse his army resting in those barracks at any time.
“Fine, let’s see then. You shouldn’t waste time with pathetic tricks like you did in the meeting.”
“Would there be any question about it?”
At her polite yet mockery-filled tone, veins bulged at the Crown Prince’s temples, but that was all.
What could that thing possibly do by stirring up trouble here?
No matter how outstanding an ability user might be, they couldn’t possibly overcome this many people.
He’d just sneer at whatever little performance this was and quickly get what he came for.
It was the moment the Crown Prince thought this.
Thud!
Seeing what had fallen to the floor, the Crown Prince tilted his head.
“What is this?”
“As you can see, it’s a corpse.”
“…What? Why are you showing me this filthy thing?”
He wrinkled his nose in displeasure. Hei Biyu wore an unreadable expression.
“…You don’t recognize him?”
“Recognize what.”
Soon Hei Biyu clutched her stomach and laughed.
“Ah, hahaha… You really haven’t changed at all. Should I be grateful for that consistency?”
“What nonsense are you spouting. If you’re done with your business, hurry up and give me that medicine…”
“How can you not recognize your own Special Forces Agent?”
The Crown Prince closed his mouth.
He examined the corpse again. A middle-aged man wearing ordinary clothes. Looking carefully, the face was indeed familiar.
‘…One of the last assault team?’
The Crown Prince felt indifferent inside. He already knew from reports that some of the attackers had died.
But all Special Forces don’t carry anything that could prove their identity when on missions, prepared for death.
It seemed she was trying to use his bewildered reaction to that face as evidence, but it was a foolish and shallow trick.
He chuckled inwardly.
Outwardly, he spoke with dignity, maintaining an indifferent and arrogant expression.
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t know that person. My noble Special Forces agents would never wear such lowly clothes.”
“Ah. I see. But how strange? Someone wearing such shabby clothing…”
However, the Crown Prince felt anxiety for the first time at Hei Biyu’s words spoken with a smile.
Thump.
The instinctive sixth sense he possessed as part of his mage instinct.
…Something was going wrong.
The black-haired man beside Hei Biyu held out something. Hei Biyu took it and showed it so the Crown Prince could see.
“Why would a Special Forces Badge come from this person?”
“…!!”
The Crown Prince’s eyes widened.
…That couldn’t be possible.
“I heard these badges are mixed with the Special Forces agents’ blood, so only the owner can possess them?”
That couldn’t be possible…!
Which idiot would bring their personal belongings on a mission!
The Crown Prince looked at the corpse again. That face was familiar. Not captain-level, but a veteran agent.
Even his son was an agent, wasn’t he… Ah, surely not.
‘…Y-Your Highness. The, the agent you punished yesterday has died.’
After failing to assassinate Hei Biyu. The Crown Prince had a young agent beaten as an outlet for his anger. When the Captain seemed to be hitting half-heartedly, he struck the agent’s head with a club.
That night, he learned that the agent had died from a brain hemorrhage. They said he died before anything could be done.
He was indifferent, wondering what that had to do with him, and was also annoyed.
He had merely punished a tool given for his use. Wasn’t it just that the weakling had died?
Looking again, the agent who had died by his hand back then was the son of that corpse.
Could it be…? Had he dared to carry out revenge against him?
It was truly a timid revenge. It meant he was prepared to carry out the mission as planned, but if caught, to become either a living witness or at least serve as evidence even as a corpse.
…Most problematic of all.
“The Special Forces only listen to the orders of one person in any situation – the Imperial Family.”
All actions of the Special Forces were by command. They never moved independently or autonomously.
Since they were a group of limbs and dogs that the Imperial Family had created for themselves.
He ground his teeth.
…It was checkmate.
When he raised his gaze, Hei Biyu was there. The woman seemed to stare at him intently, then curved her eyes and smiled beautifully.
“You’re going to be ruined by someone who bears a grudge against you.”

Watching the Crown Prince’s face turn red then pale was enjoyable. It was pleasant.
On the other hand, I quickly grew tired of it.
I must have grown tired of this bastard’s nature of treating people like insects.
“What are you all doing?”
I quietly spoke up.
“The culprit who tried to kill me is right before our eyes.”
At the same time, water erupted from the ground. The countless personnel guarding the Crown Prince were swept away by a massive wind.
While they were confused, the Crown Prince was instantly subdued by two people.
It was probably because there were fewer people since the Crown Prince had sent the Special Forces on a mission. And because Dad and Hei Birang were even more formidable warriors than expected.
“Let go, let go! Are you insane? How dare you lay hands on me!”
The Crown Prince being tied with binding rope was also something that happened in an instant.
I walked over step by step, and smirked from about three steps away.
Looking at the bastard who had been forced to his knees.
“Surely you don’t think I called you to this place for no reason?”
I remembered the Crown Prince’s words.
The ‘promise’ he had made with a sneer when I asked what he would do if I caught the one who attacked me.
‘Haha, you really seem to have made enemies, don’t you? I don’t know who it is, but if you catch the attacker, let me know. I’ll give you the authority to judge and punish whoever it is.’
If caught, they would naturally be judged by the Crown Prince, who had the highest status at this meeting. He was saying he would give me that authority.
Since he was the very culprit himself, he probably spoke so arrogantly without even anticipating such a situation.
“We’ve already been pulling quite a lot of tricks here since the moment we arrived.”
I explained kindly.
Things like the barrier Dad spent time creating at this location, or the barriers made by Little Uncle and countless Water Mages.
“Thankfully, you personally granted me the right to punish the culprit who attacked me, and you’ll remember it too… I’ll make full use of it.”
“Let go, let go right now! Damn it, do you think my soldiers will just stand by!”
I glanced up briefly. Indeed, after the Crown Prince was captured by us, the Special Forces Agents who had been waiting behind were doing their best to break through the barrier.
Just from their momentum alone, they all looked threatening.
However.
“Oh dear, Your Highness…”
I spoke in an exaggerated tone as if feeling sorry.
“Would our hands be faster, or would the Special Forces Agents who made no preparations be faster?”
Perhaps recognizing his situation where one swing of a sword would mean death, the Crown Prince held his breath for a moment.
This was only brief, as he then made a twisted smile.
“Ha, do you think this is how it ends?!!”
It was a chilling laugh.
I smiled slightly, as if I had anticipated even this.
“What, are you going to detonate a bomb or something?”
At the same time, the Crown Prince’s eyes widened as if they would tear, then shook wildly.
“You were planning to blow up the entire camp where those barracks are located, weren’t you?”
What the Shaman had warned about.
And what Sylvester had informed me of.
The materials that the Imperial Family had been secretly purchasing all along…
They were all ingredients for explosives.
