Thus ca Raymonds na among the commoners, especially among the poor.
Huh? Youve recovered cleanly? Where did you get that treatnt?
I was treated at the Penin Treatnt Center.
Penin Treatnt Center?
Yes, I went there half-heartedly, and it was treated with a technique called dical technology, not heals. To my surprise, it worked very well. It was even much better than being treated by C-class healers since he is very kind.
He is a healer and is very kind?
The commoners who heard the story opened their eyes wide.
A kind healer. It is as rare as the Red Dragon, which loves swimming. In other words, it can be said that there are few in the world.
As a healers grade gets high, the cost of treatnt increases, and kindness is inversely proportional to the healer.
Yes, Ive never t such a warm healer. He holds my hand tightly saying that Ill get better while treating it, but didnt he almost shed tears? Anyway, thats the first kind of healer Ive ever t. You should definitely go there.
Whenever the rumor spread like that, more and more people visited the Penin Treatnt Center.
Good. Very good. Haha! Its going to be aweso soon!
Raymond burst out laughing.
***
Wheres the jackpot?
Raymond made the interim settlent and sighed heavily.
The number of patients from the commoners area has increased.
But then what?
Those who co dont have money like the people in the slums
Arent they supposed to have enough money to be able to afford to live in the commoners district?
Unfortunately, the cash-strapped commoners would not seek dical treatnt in Raymonds Treatnt Center.
They tried to get treatnt with heals even at a high cost of treatnt.
This is because he took the lead in compulsory training for new healers and gained a lot of reputation, but he still lacked to break prejudice.
Therefore, the only commoner who visited him were those in need who could not be treated with heals.
Thanks to that, Raymond was only increasing his debt as before.
Sobbing. How much do I owe now? At this rate, Im really going to be kidnapped by the Devil Rons.
Raymond shivered.
Instead of paying it off, his debt was growing even more.
I havent had any special calls yet, but that made more anxious.
Why are those reputedly vicious guys standing still?
Its weird. Even if I asked them for an additional loan, they lent it to without saying anything. There is no dunning at all.
It was to the point where he wondered if it was not the Devil Ron but the Angel Ron.
Raymond, of course, was not naively relieved.
It could be a ploy to gain more weight before eating it. Ugh. At this rate, I will beco their slave.
There was only one way to solve all of this.
It is to refuse treatnt to those who cannot pay for it.
This was nothing to be blad for.
Shouldnt we at least get the minimal amount of the herbal cost?
How expensive are herbs? How can I dig and do business? Now, no matter how bad the situation is, theres nothing to give away. Itll make a little profit.
But Raymond sighed.
Even if I made this promise, it was not easy to turn them away when the patient was stricken in pain.
lets leave this as a last resort. Its not that theres no other way.
Another way.
It was simple.
Let a commoner with enough money co to visit you!
So when you make money, it will solve everything!
Raymonds erald eyes glistened with longing.
To do so, I must gain more fa. The fa that even ordinary people with money co to visit!
Of course, building fa would co step by step.
Every ti I treat a commoner, word of mouth is spreading little by little.
But Raymond wanted a bigger shot than that.
At this rate, it would be faster for to be kidnapped as a slave than for my fa to build. We need to find another way! A way to make a big na at once.
He pondered hard on the way.
I needed a big event to spread our reputation at once.
What can I do?
***
anwhile, Baron Canton, the No. 1 contributor to the incident, was lying in bed and venting his anger.
Oh, damn it!
Rather than being eliminated, he did only good things for him.
He felt like he was going to get a hole in my stomach.
I cant go on like this.
Baron Canton gritted his teeth.
Ive got to step on him completely before he can climb higher.
Then, a middle-aged man with a sharp impression next to him asked.
What do you want to do with him, sir?
It was Pierre, Baron Cantons right-hand man.
Pierre was not a healer.
He had other abilities than healing powers.
So, he was a hound in charge of Baron Cantons dirty work.
I dont think we should wait and see. We must bring down the Penin Treatnt Center before the commoners of the Ly District are further deluded. He said, calming down his eyes in an eerie.
Just tell . Ill do anything to ruin his Penin Treatnt Center at all costs.
It was a stern tone that seed to mobilize even the underworlds bandits from behind.
In fact, he secretly mobilized underworld guilds when he brought down rival healers.
The other healers, who were threatened, were scared and imdiately packed up and left the capital.
There is no way to stand out like that. Even if he is an illegitimate child, he still has royal blood.
Yes? But didnt His Highness, the King, not care about him at all?
Baron Canton shook his head.
It looks like it from the outside, but its not quite clear.
I thought about it after seeing him win a series of awards recently.
Of course, he got off because he had done enough to win the prize, but does King Oden really consider Raymond an abandoned child?
No one knows what the king is thinking.
Maybe hes feeling pity.
Just in case, its better to avoid getting caught.
Therefore, he had to be brought down in a just way that no one could say anything about.
Of course, there are many ways to do that.
Baron Canton is a master of all kinds of petty tricks.
There were so many ways to bring down Raymonds thunder.
Send a patient who can never be treated to his treatnt center.
!
That would be nice.
And spread rumors that he killed the patient by giving the wrong treatnt. It would be good to mobilize the newspapers so that everyone knows.
Pierre understood Baron Cantons aning and smiled anly at him.
It will be in the newspaper, huh? We will mobilize professional agitators to make him a world-class quack who kills people and make him collapse. If this is the case, it would be good to bribe the judge into killing a person with a sham treatnt.
The two faced each other and laughed hard.
It was a simple but inescapable trap.
In a few days, Raymond will be a con man.
The key to this plan is to quickly spread rumors everywhere. So that everyone in the commoners district knows his fault.
I am well aware of it. Dont worry.
Pierre replied reliably, tapping his chest.
I will spread the word as soon as I send the patient. Everyone in the commoners area will know about this.
***
A few days later.
A shabby-clad man was running to the Maple Treatnt Center with an urgent face.
Please! Sam! Hang in there!
In his arms was a small child, drooping.
Ouch! Ouch!
It was a cry full of pain.
She had cried so hard that he has no energy at all and his body looks like a limp.
Ha, please. Please!
The child began to cry to death. Then he began to see bloody stools.
If I could have co a little sooner, the childs condition would not have deteriorated this much. Joseph, the father of the child, clenched his teeth.
It was because of the money that he couldnt co straight to the treatnt center. Poor Joseph had no money saved, and sohow the day was delayed to raise money so they can pay up.
anwhile, the childs condition deteriorated helplessly.
Please. Heaven. If you let this child live, I will do good things for the rest of my life. So, please!
As soon as finishing his prayer desperately, they arrived at Maple Treatnt Center.
Please treat this child!
A high fence.
A beautifully decorated garden.
The receptionist greeted him first at the main gate of the treatnt center, which is like the nobles mansion.
Hmmm?
The receptionist checked the childs condition.
His breathing seed unusual.
Of course, healing it with a grade D is impossible. Class C would seem to have difficulty into healing it too.
It was a serious condition that required a healer of at least level B or higher.
Our grade B healers heal is at least 500 pence. Do you have the money?
Five hundred.
Joseph flinched at the huge sum.
His entire fortune was only a little over 200 pence.
Well, such an amount.
That wont work. Im sorry.
The receptionist spoke in a businesslike voice.
Well, please! Its not enough, but Ill give you all the money I have!
But theres nothing we can do if you dont have enough for the dical expenses.
Well, then please tell Princess Christine at least!
The receptionist stopped abruptly.
Princess Christine!
She was from the royal family. The person who beca a healer with a noble bloodline who always thinks about her patients first.
She was the best therapist at the Maple Treatnt Center, and she was often not paid for treatnt by those in poor circumstances.
She might treat this child with no strings attached.
Unfortunately for Joseph, Princess Christine was not at the treatnt center due to family matters.
Then, a shrill voice interrupted.
It was Pierre, Baron Cantons filthy hound!
The princess is not here now. It is because she is busy with sothing.
Ah!
Ill recomnd another healer instead.
The corner of Pierres mouth lifted sinisterly. No wonder it was a an-looking smile.
The Baron Penins treatnt center. Hes been famous recently.
!
Lets go to the Penin treatnt center in the Bay Area. Baron Penin, who saved many people with his ancient secret arts, might be able to save this child.
Joseph headed straight to the Penin Clinic, and the receptionist gave Pierre a questionable look.
Why did you recomnd Penin treatnt center? It is not a patient who can be treated with pseudo-miscellaneous surgery. Im sure that child will die.
I was sent for that.
What?
Instead of answering, Pierre only smirked.
Im going to have to spread the rumor.
Looking at the childs condition, I dont think he can make it through today.
Ill spread the rumor right now and make it impossible to get rid of it.
Ill contact the newspaper, and Ill mobilize the wind catchers as well.
The title of the article The Fraudulent Baron Penin Kills a Child with Botched Treatnt! would be appropriate.
Pierre thought triumphantly.
Now that guy is over.
