Chapter 46

The heaviest red blood cells were in the lower layer, while white blood cells are in the middle, and the clear plasma containing platelets are all above them.

Raymond separated the plasma and injected it into Lao.

what the hell is this treatment?

Laos face piled up when the blood of another person entered his body.

Do you feel uncomfortable?

There is nothing like that in particular. It just doesnt feel like much. 

The blood transfusion was over soon. 

Are you done now?

Yes. Theres probably less chance of dangerous bleeding now.

I cant measure the exact platelet count, but the transfusion must have been at least over 20,000.

At that point, fatal bleeding such as cerebral hemorrhage and pulmonary hemorrhage rarely occurs. Its over the hump.

A day or two has passed since then.

Lao gradually lost his fever and was able to get out of bed without any bleeding.

.

Lao stood in front of Raymond with a red face.

Raymond leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs haughtily.

Hmm. You must have something to tell me?

thank you.

What? I cant hear you well?

Its a thank-you greeting from Count Kaplans son!

When will such a luxury come again?

Raymond decided to draw as many sticks as he could.

Thank you

What? What?

thank you.

I cant hear well. Can you raise your voice?

.Laos face turned red as if to burst.

If I tease him more, I think hell fly at least a fist, Raymond quickly changed his posture.

On second thoughts, the fist in front of me is scary.

Hmm. Anyway, Im glad you got well.

Lao chewed his lips.

Im not forgetting my promise. Ill treat you as my brother from now on.

Thats enough.

What?

I just said it.

Raymond said with a cool face.

As your former healer, I am glad enough that you have recovered. I dont need another price. 

Laos eyes were filled with confusion.

It seems that he doesnt know what Raymond means.

What are you thinking? Im trying to trick you.

Raymond smiled inwardly.

Even if you force him to serve you as a brother, it would be useless since Raymond didnt win his heart.

I want him to acknowledge me as a brother in his heart.

Why? I dont know what you mean

Im just a patient-conscious therapist. Im not interested in anything but the patients getting better. The bet I made then was just to provoke you so that youll get yourself treated more willingly.

Its a lie that doesnt even have a mouth.

.

Lao fell silent in confusion.

Then Hanson, who was next to him, stepped up.

I dare say something. Baron Penin, whom I know, is sacrificing his everything just for his patients. To the point where I think that he is a fool.

.

So dont look at such a great man with a suspicious eye. Honestly Its very unpleasant. If I were a knight, I would have requested a duel in honor of Baron Penin.

Hanson revealed this with his unusual bluntness. He looked as if his parents had been cursed.

Lao eventually raised the white flag.

I dont know. Did I misjudge him?

Although he couldnt completely throw away the chewiness in the corner of his heart, Lao eventually knelt down. 

I came to appreciate Raymonds brilliance.

I think my judgment was blurred out of jealousy. Lets reflect, Lao.

When Chancellor Galman raised Raymond, he seemed to have thought ill of jealousy.

though something is chewed up to be regarded as mere jealousy. But Lao shook his head strongly.

This awkwardness may also be due to the inability to completely abandon jealousy.

Its ugly, Lao! You cant let go of your jealousy after all this! Stop doubting him! I feel a little bit like a con man, but its just because of my jealousy! Hes a great man!

He is a man who is strict with himself.

Jealousy was unacceptable.

He reflected and bowed his head sincerely.

Im sorry for the unfounded misunderstanding so far. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. From now on, Ill treat you as my brother!

Raymond smiled inwardly at the words.

Of course, he shook his head like this, pretending to be cool on the outside.

No, it doesnt have to be.

No. From now on, Lao the son of Count Kaplan, will swear to serve Baron Penin as his brother for the rest of his life. 

Such a promising innocent young man was possessed by Raymonds fraud. 

Yes!

It was only natural that Raymond cheered from the inside.

For your information, Raymond and Lao were of the same age.

But that didnt matter.

Now Raymond was the older brother.

Haha. Good.

A manager was also a high-ranking official in the administration.

In other words, how can you not be happy to have a promising administration elite as your younger brother?

Raymond burst into laughter mentally.

Plus an additional bonus.

[Achievement: First blood transfusion!]

[Your name will be recorded in the history of medicine!]

[Bonus level up!]

[100 bonus skill points will be given!]

Thanks to that, Raymonds level also went up to 38!

Level 40, the standard for promotion, was just around the corner.

Of course, it was not a situation where Raymond would keep smiling.

The number of patients continued to occur.

Queen Baron! Theres another patient with blue spots on his body!

Heres the patient!

Fortunately, however, there were no additional victims.

It was thanks to cautioning people in advance and responding quickly whenever there was a patient.

Fortunately, the poor did not refuse to receive blood transfusions. It was because their trust in Raymond was so deep.

You must do as the prince tells you.

Theres no way our prince would suggest the wrong way, is there?

When the patient who trusted Raymond and received the blood transfusion recovered completely, people responded, As expected, my prince! 

What a relief. How many people would have died if it werent for the prince. 

Yes, with the prince, there is no concern for the plague.

People praised Raymond and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thats how things got quiet.

Then again, in a dark secret compartment that exists somewhere.

Some shady characters were talking.

What happened? There should be chaos by now.

They were the ones behind the plot!

They were discussing the situation with a serious look.

Its theres no great agitation among the poor.

Because Baron Penin is in complete control of the situation. There are few to almost no victims, and the poor are living their daily lives calmly.

Man, Black was groaning.

He was the person who was reporting to an unidentified background inside the crystal ball and planned and implemented the incident directly on the spot.

People are not agitated because of Baron Penin?

Yes, his presence alone seems to make people feel great stability. He told everyone not to worry because it wasnt spread among people, and everyone was calm after hearing that.

No, thats not Baron Penin said a word, and everyone said yes as if understanding him cooperatively?

As often said, the fear of infectious diseases is beyond imagination.

But a word can calm everyone down? How many people trust and follow Raymond exactly? Even King Oden of the Kingdom of Houston will not be able to do so.

In addition, he is treating patients with foot-and-mouth disease. So even the poor, who were a little shaken at first, are not afraid anymore.

Wasnt it an incurable disease? When we checked, it got worse a person gets heals. 

It certainly did, they are being treated through an ancient secret technique called blood transfusion 

Black made a not-so-pleasant face.

I am trying to cause great disruption in the Bay Area through the pandemic. Damn it. Baron Penin, what the hell is that lowly illegitimate son?

It was already the second time.

The lowly illegitimate son of a man who interferes with their work.

But dont worry. Its still in its early stages, so it can be controlled. Soon the number of patients will increase out of control. Then, even if Baron Penins assistance comes, it wont be possible to stop the situation.

The man nodded.

His subordinates were right.

The number of patients is about to increase. No matter what kind of talent the lowly illegitimate son had, it wont be able to stop the pandemic coming.

After a little while, no one can stop our plan. 

Black suppressed his uneasy mind and waited for the success of their plan.

***

Contrary to their expectations, however, Raymond was clearly aware that the number of patients was increasing and was considering countermeasures. 

The number of cases is increasing. There must be an increasing number of causative agents somewhere in the Bay Area. 

Raymond decided that the cause should be eradicated as soon as possible. 

First of all, we need to find out the exact pathogen that carries the disease. 

The pathogenesis of the disease was clear.

Some pathogens cause severe thrombocytopenia.

The problem is that there are so many infectious diseases that cause this phenomenon.

Mites, lice, fleas, mosquitoes, camels, mice, flies, can all carry pathogens that cause these diseases. We had to figure out which of them was the cause and eradicate them.

Raymonds eyes sharpened.

Somethings strange. Enough new plagues can flow into places where there is a lot of trade, such as the Peninsula Kingdom, the Ecliptic, or the Free Cities Alliance, but a new plague ins the Houston Kingdom?

The Kingdom of Houston was not a trading country. The volume of trade was small.

I dont think its a human-to-human infection, but this kind of epidemic is coming in and being introduced?

Maybe its not someones conspiracy, is it?

Raymond made an eerie guess.

There is nothing definite yet, so lets think about this problem again after identifying the disease. The first thing to do is to find out what pathogens have been introduced from the outside.

Raymond got up from his seat.

If the epidemic spreads further like this, it will be out of control. I need to root it out now!

Lao, now fully recovered, followed Raymond. Do you know something, brother?

Lao?

Yes, brother?

Well.

Brother?

Raymond almost smiled without realizing it when Lao called him brother one after another, but hurriedly recovered his expression.

Its always nice to hear Lao calling me brother. Count Kaplans son is my brother! This is an extreme of the extremes.

Lao looked at Raymond with suspicious eyes for a moment and shook his head.

What are you going to do?

Im going to go where the patients stayed.
