Chapter 104 – The Knowing Poison Doctor

I admire Choi Ju-ri’s response.
Even if I didn’t worry about it, she knew exactly what she had to do.
A normal person would have a hard time recovering from such a traumatic event.

She used her best judgment, considering the company and its employees for which she was responsible.
Even if she had a press conference like this, people who would try to bite her off would do so, but her intensity was bound to be much weaker.

In addition, she indirectly hinted at the development of a ‘recovery potion’ by borrowing the expression ‘to surprise the world’ at her high-profile press conference.

She said that I had given her peace, but I did not think that my role in her behavior was as decisive as I thought.

Anyway, this gave me a break.

One thing I need to think about.
It was to carry out the next quest.

Attacking Lee Chul-gi’s quest had to be developed as a two-track this time as well.
Defeat Lee Chul-gi and at the same time meet a woman named Kim Hae-na to increase his liking.

Just in case, I took out the ‘Book of Memories’ and searched for Kim Hae-na.
But there were no recorded memories of her.
In other words, it means the woman you will have a relationship with for the first time in this life.

Even Han Yeon-joo had a point of contact in her previous life, so to speak, as a woman included in the quest, she was the first to deal with a woman she had never met in her previous life.

I thought that Kim Hae-na would appear in front of me without having to go looking for her.
It was the same pattern all the time, so there was no need to doubt it.

‘Chulgi Lee…’

Thinking about him, I suddenly remembered what I did yesterday.
He informed Park Jung-gyun that he had been killed by Park Da-in.

There was no such thing as evidence.
The reason I knew what Lee Chul-ki did was because I read the ‘Book of Truth’.
At least over the phone, Park Jung-gyun seemed to believe me, but in reality, I had no idea what it would be like.
I wanted to make sure what I said really moved him.

I got out of bed and called him.
He heard the signal ring by the seventh time and was about to hang up, but he answered the phone with a grunt.

– Hello? Are you Sunggyu?
“Yes. Hello.”

I didn’t have anything to say, so I said hello.
He would know why I called.
But I hesitated to mention it with my own mouth.
If he hasn’t acted yet, I think you’re pushing him too far with things for which there’s no proof.

– Are you curious about Lee Cheol-gi’s work?

As expected, Park Jeong-gyun accurately pointed out my intentions.

“Yes, have you checked?”
– Yeah… So, isn’t that why he’s on the verge of dying? I went to the cottage And I found the evidence.
“If it’s proof…”

I knew that Lee Chul-ki sexually abused Park Da-in and filmed it on video.
I wondered if Park Jeong-kyun might have found the recorded video.

– It’s a corpse. Found the body.
“A corpse?”

I was surprised.
If you find a video, it can be used as evidence, but if you find a body, it is more convincing evidence.
If a government agency finds out about this, they will have no choice but to search it immediately.
No matter how strong a member of the National Assembly is, it will be difficult to stop this.

– I’ve been taking pictures. But I think it will be difficult to explode right away.
“Yes? Why?”
– I already discussed it with my brother. Lee Nam-cheol is a more cautious person than I thought. He has a lot of connections with the prosecution and the police. It’s our conclusion that he’s difficult to take down in the normal way. Besides, I had trespassed there. The evidence I presented is difficult to accept. Rather, it would be fortunate if the wind blows against us and our guild does not disband.
“Yes…”

I understood Park Jeong-gyun’s words.
Even as Lee Nam-cheol’s political party, he would not have to wait for the next two presidential candidates to collapse.
This was a much more dangerous issue than expected and should be handled with care.
It was self-evident that Park Jung-gyun was more veteran at handling this kind of thing than I was.

Listening to my words, infiltrating there and finding evidence proved that he was very competent as an underground guild hunter.

“Were you hurt there?”
– Yeah… The poison penetrated the body, but it’s because it’s a rather strong poison. I haven’t found an antidote yet. It seems that there is no other way but to wait and say that it will get better with time.
“Poison?”

I just couldn’t get past this.
Park Jeong-gyun was saying it as if it was nothing, but in the case of harmful poison, it is rare that it disappears on its own over time.
However, if the hunter’s ability is strong, it is possible to suppress the effect, but even in such a case, the poison does not disappear and remains in the body.
It was because of me that Park Jung-kyun was poisoned.
I felt responsible for this.

– Nothing to worry about. You know that I won’t fall for something like poison.

My voice sounded like I was worried, so I said that to Park Jeong-gyun.

“I will find a way. Where are you by any chance?”
– Wherever you are, it’s home. The prescription has already been received. The doctor said he was giving me medicine, but he wasn’t sure if it would work. Well, it won’t be a big deal if you can move and talk like this. Don’t worry about the man’s worries because I don’t thank you. Understand?
“Give me your address.”
– Ugh, really.
“We will contact you when we find a solution.”
– I get it. I don’t think it’s anything to do with drying. There’s no way anyway, so don’t suffer. The doctor on our side is also competent, so if that person doesn’t work, he really does. Rather, I have something to tell you, so let’s meet. I’ll be at home, so come when you want.
“All right.”

I hung up.
And I thought about how to help Park Jeong-gyun.
Among the hunters, there are so-called ‘poisoners’ hunters.
Their specialty is handling poison.
The activity methods of these hunters are largely divided into two. One is combat hunters who use poison to fight against monsters, and the other is hunters who use poison to make items or treat poisoned hunters. .

I thought of poison magician hunters who do the latter job.
There were quite a few poisoners I knew, but it didn’t seem like it would be easy to find them at this point.
Besides, the appearances of them I know and the present ones will be quite different.

As Park Jung-gyun said, there might not be a way.

Then the cell phone rang.
The received message was from Yeonju Han.

– Honey, what are you doing? I just finished my business

As soon as she had finished her meal, she said she had work to do and she had left.
I thought it was all right so I texted her and asked her.

– Do you know of any good poisoners?

Instead of replying, I got a call.

“Yes, sister.”
– The word ‘sister’ is jarring. The age difference sounds great.

Although they may appear to be the same age on the outside, it is true that there is a big difference in age.
I was twenty, she was twenty-nine.

Han Yeon-joo’s grumbling was nothing serious, it was just a joke.
She soon added her words.

– You’re looking for a poisoner? Why? Are you addicted?
“It wasn’t me, but a brother I knew was hurt. Because even doctors can’t use their hands. I don’t think I was poisoned by common poison.”
– Hmm…

After thinking about the performance for a while, she said.

– I know how to use some poison, but it seems like a hard thing for me to do. I know of a younger brother who is good at poisoning. I’ll try contacting him. I wish I didn’t get it.

She added her strange words at the end.
I wish I hadn’t been contacted.
Isn’t that polite to the injured person?
Due to the nature of the Secret Witch, I could have thought that it was not my injury and the extent to which my acquaintances were injured was completely someone else’s business.

She was the only one she could rely on right now.

“Yes, I will wait for your call. It’s kind of urgent, so I’m going to ask you a favor.”
– Ha,

Strange breathing was heard inside the phone.

– Say that again.
“Yes? What do you mean?”
– Say please. I was excited to hear that from you. Uh huh
“…Please, older sister.”
– The word older sister is a bit… Ha, okay.

I hung up the phone and waited for Yeonju Han to call back.
Although a little out of the ordinary, she was a woman with a splendid reputation in the future world I experienced as an S-class hunter.
She thought that any poisoner she knew would surely be competent.

Han Yeon-joo contacted me sooner than expected.

– He said he was at his house. It’s a pity.

What is the regret

“Then may I ask him a favor?”
– Yeah, instead, I’m a little busy in the afternoon, so I think you’ll have to go by yourself, okay?
“Yes, it is fine.”
– Well, it’s not you, but I’m not okay. Anyway, I’ll give you the address. I’ll tell him in advance, so just go ahead and ring the bell.
“Thank you.”

After hanging up her phone, Han Yeon-joo sent her the address of a poison master she knew.
