The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 68

It was a gentle tone, but somehow a sinister voice.

Perhaps I could sense the poison of greed for healing ability, even at the cost of sacrificing sight.

I found Uncle and Little Uncle near the steps. Even Brother Gyewon was there.

‘Did they follow along because they were worried?’

Next to Uncle was a man I’d never seen before. He seemed to be watching Uncle’s reactions.

‘He’s wearing a Hei Gakdae uniform.’

The people standing beside Uncle and Little Uncle like guards all bore wounds without exception.

‘Everyone said it was fine to be dragged here today, but they couldn’t control their tempers and beat people up on the way.’

I smiled at them reassuringly.

“My children who have attended this meeting. I express my gratitude for your precious time.”

The Family Head spoke while looking around the assembly.

“Welcome faces have come to today’s grand meeting, have they not.”

Really, it was a familiar setup.

‘This is the same setup I saw when I was dragged here after opening a clinic in Black Forest Market during my third life.’

The countless people standing outside the path were either branch family members or retainers of the Hei Family Estate.

They were the countless physicians, pharmacists, and warriors belonging to the Hei Family Estate.

When personnel were gathered by the Family Head’s command, this place became…

A massive courtroom.

“Who has committed crimes today?”

I smiled bitterly to myself.

‘We’re the criminals, is that it.’

The Family Head’s gentle voice spread throughout every corner of the space. Despite being a small voice, it resonated and echoed as if amplified by a microphone.

It was natural.

The Family Head was a wind ability user.

She was a rare ability user who could heal using wind, specifically air.

“This elderly one is weary, so I shall entrust the meeting’s proceedings to my eldest daughter. Haran.”

“Yes, Mother.”

Just being able to call her ‘Mother’ instead of ‘Family Head’ in an official setting granted Hei Haran tremendous power. Hei Haran walked forward proudly and opened her mouth.

“Today we shall judge the major matter that has been reported to the Family Head.”

Hei Haran raised the corners of her mouth.

What flashed in her eyes was clearly contempt and mockery.

“First. Regarding the unauthorized escape of the direct descendants Hei Biwon and Hei Birang, who were confined in the Eastern District.”

People stirred for a moment.

“Stop it. Stop!”

As people closed their mouths, Hei Haran continued speaking.

“Their crimes are not limited to this alone. There are even charges of going out to the city and damaging buildings, engaging in unauthorized combat, and harming people.”

Perhaps due to the madness, the name Hei Biwon was frequently heard amidst the murmuring.

“The second agenda concerns a physician who dared to open a clinic under the name of the Hei Family without proper medical license or permits. The subject is Hei Bihu’s daughter, Hei Biyu.”

This time there was less murmuring.

“You all know best the weight of bearing the family name. A child who hasn’t even reached adulthood has caused such insolent trouble.”

This time it was murmuring filled with bewilderment.

‘Ah, so this is how you’re going to make an issue of it?’

I chuckled inwardly.

This must be a collaboration between the aunts?

“Let’s start with the first agenda.”

From somewhere, warriors came running in formation and surrounded us.

“Hei Biwon, we’ll start with you. Despite being a patient with a dangerous disease, do you acknowledge the charge of going outside without permission and endangering the territory?”

“Ah. Sister. That position suits you well.”

Uncle stood in a relaxed posture and chuckled.

“How much you must have wanted that position? Even killing people to get it.”

“The criminal should choose his words carefully.”

Despite the warning, Uncle bared his fangs and grinned wickedly.

“You look like a fox wearing a tiger’s mask rather than a tiger?”

“Answer the question, Hei Biwon.”

The siblings’ gazes clashed tensely.

“No, if you’re going to state charges, shouldn’t you present witnesses or evidence first? It’s not like you’re bringing people here to play games…”

Uncle was the first to take a surrendering stance.

“In the era when those Western Continent bastards ruled violently, didn’t our family decide to uphold the principle of presumption of innocence to avoid becoming like those savages?”

“…”

Hei Haran didn’t answer but raised one hand.

“Let’s see just how shamelessly you can act. Bring the witness!”

Soon the warriors surrounding us split in half and someone appeared under escort.

It was a man trembling pitifully.

“He’s the administrator who manages the tracking scent. He testified that the tracking scent of you two, Hei Biwon and Hei Birang, was detected outside the family estate.”

“Aha, a witness!”

Uncle clapped exaggeratedly as if amused. With each clap, the man’s shoulders flinched.

“You’re saying that person is the only witness?”

Uh, hmm. I stopped watching and felt uneasy.

‘It’s not time for me to step in yet… but will this be okay?’

I know that expression on Uncle’s face.

Bang!

The situation reversed in an instant. The moment Uncle kicked the floor once, he appeared in front of the witness.

Thwack!

The witness collapsed smoothly.

And in front of him stood Uncle with his fist raised.

“Oh my goodness, what should we do!”

Uncle covered his mouth with his fist and made an exaggerated fuss.

“The witness has disappeared!”

“Hei Biwon!!”

Wow, it would be hard to go this refreshingly insane in this situation.

I was genuinely impressed.

Uncle, you are the greatest lunatic I acknowledge…!

“Now, the next witness?”

Uncle’s smiling face looked like a villain who would soon spout the line ‘Whoever comes, I’ll erase them from this world!’

Even the mighty Hei Haran, and even Third Aunt Hei Gyera and Aunt’s Husband had dumbfounded expressions.

‘Look how only the Family Head remains calm in all this.’

“What the hell is this behavior! Don’t you know how sacred this place is, swinging your fists around like a mad dog, unable to break old habits?!”

Even though Hei Haran scolded fiercely, Uncle only picked at his ear.

“Oh my, I’m sorry. But the mad dog is Hei Bihu over there. Biwon was so scared that he ended up swinging his fist, you see?”

“Do you think you can get away with nonsense!”

“Then.”

Suddenly Uncle’s voice changed.

Rumble.

The sound of dry thunder came from the sky. It was loud enough to make someone prostrate themselves.

“Present new witnesses and evidence.”

I was just admiring the shamelessness Uncle was displaying.

“Cool, right? Father just used lightning. Lightning Mages can wrap lightning around their bodies to increase their speed.”

And what’s with Brother Gyewon’s nerves, earnestly explaining from the side? Heredity is scary.

Previously, even using a little too much power would trigger Madness, so he sealed it away without daring to try?

‘Heh, I made medicine for that guy, and now he’s flying around. Flying around.’

Despite how he looks, Uncle isn’t a reckless person.

Rather, there’s a high possibility he calculated the next steps thoroughly before acting.

‘But this won’t do.’

The opponents are Hei Haran and Hei Gyera. They wouldn’t have carelessly presented witnesses either.

Unless they made thorough preparations.

The commotion is only temporary, and we don’t know what will come next.

‘But…’

Why should we enter a trap others made and fight for them?

For something like this, we need to change the game.

I grinned and looked at Dad.

“Dad, amplify my voice too.”

“…What are you trying to do?”

I patted Dad reassuringly while still being held.

“I need to feel the worth of desperately making medicine for 2 weeks.”

Aunts, you don’t like your brother and want to get rid of him while you have the chance, don’t you?

Or did you covet his ability and want to frame him as a criminal so you could use him?

It’ll all be useless.

I can see right through your intentions.
