Chapter 40

Ugh. Why didnt they give a hint in advance that Ill be having an audience thsi high of status.

My timid instinct worked and I was very nervous.

Raymonds face stiffened and his heart fluttered.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Meanwhile, the third prince, Lemarton, looked at Raymond with strange eyes.

To be honest, Lemarton had mixed feelings when he heard Raymonds story.

I cant believe he made such a contribution in the Bay Area. He won the hearts of the slums? No way. How?

The Bay Area has been dismissed as a malignant abscess that no one can touch.

All the princes tried to pacify the Bay Area, but only suffered a desperate failure.

So I didnt think I could butter it. I cant believe Raymond could even make a big contribution. Lemarton shook his head.

Does it have something to do with being from the slums?

Remert was so denigrated.

Raymond was born with a low bloodline, so that mustve been the reason why he gets along well with lowly people.

And seeing how nervous he is today, I think its an accurate idea.

There is no way that such a guy could have done a good job this big properly.

It wouldnt be bad for him to stay in the slum for the rest of his life. He is an illegitimate child anyway, so theres no place for him to be used properly. He found a suitable spot.

Lemarton found composure and thought so.

If Raymond was going to stay in the slum, he was going to sponsor him.

He who looks at the throne can afford to give that much.

.

The second prince, Kairn, was also looking at Raymond with a strange smile.

He did not have the thoughts of dismissing Raymond unlike the third prince, Lemarton did.

The degree of disregard should be somewhat appropriate.

He is considered the closest to the next throne. It was so different from Raymond, who was so humble. Cairn thinks he is too great for him.

Just as humans do not ignore bugs, he wouldnt let Raymond go unharmed.

He just looked at him with interest.

Our scruffy puppy has grown so much.

Kairn murmured quietly.Im a little greedy. Itd be fun to keep you around.

It was the moment when Lemarton frowned at his brothers muttering.

Get up. Come forward. King Oden stated.

Yes, Your Highness.

Thump. Thump.

Why was I born so timid?

When Raymond stepped forward and received a lot of attention, his heart beats like it was going to explode.

His mind seemed to go blank as well.

I heard you did a great job in the Bay Area this time. It is not a small achievement since you also wiped out the group of evil that was causing trouble in the slums.

Is there a reward you want? Tell me if there is.

Raymond swallowed his saliva.

At last, the moment of fate has come.

Money!

It was the perfect moment to shout it.

However, what Princess Sophia said popped up in Raymonds mind.

Depending on what choice you make, todays reward may be a golden opportunity for you.

Is it because of her past treatment that she is giving advice to him?

Raymond was troubled.

Its not an opportunity that comes easily. Is it really the right choice to ask for money?

Of course, if you ask for money, you will get a considerable reward.

But is that really the best answer?

I want money the most.

It could have been a mistake.

Like Sophia said, its an opportunity to get much bigger.

Another thought then came to mind.

The girl who was seeing him off with her skinny hands passed through his head.

Then, Raymonds method flashed across his mind.

His trembling appearance was nowhere to be seen and a sense of pride flowed out of him. In harmony with his good looks, they felt the dignity that was hard to imagine as a low illegitimate child.

As expected of Raymond. Thats what you look like when you make an argument for others, Galman thought in admiration.

It was like Raymond he knew.

He is only thinking of others.

Raymond, the true healer of this era who doesnt care for anyone else.

Meanwhile, Raymond thought to himself.

If I do this, the Bay Area would definitely benefit, and I can take advantage of this as well!

How can I make a profit?

How will they decide where to spend the money for the Bay Area?

Im sure they will consult me. No one knows the Bay Area better than I am.

At that time, he intended to receive herbal medicine fees or other treatment subsidies by emphasizing the poor treatment environment. It actually cost a lot of money. Every time I treat a patient, I spend a lot of money. A prime example is the surgical melting thread.

It was full of money such as implementation.

8There is a limit to the reward, so I can get more money this way than just a reward.

Also, that was not the only benefit to him.

This choice will give me a great reputation.

He had several limitations.

The limit of being a dirty illegitimate child.

The limitation of using medicine that is tantamount to pseudo in a world where heals are traditional.

The slums had his treatment because they had nothing to say about it, but did the people outside do the same?

Absolutely not. Its time to think about expanding out of the slums, but people wont come to me easily for treatment.

There was one way.

I had to market the patients to come.

And there was nothing like a reputation for such marketing.

It is not just limited to the slums, but a great reputation that will spread outside.

Since it was said in front of the king, the rumor will definitely spread. Im sure itll have a big effect.

It was clear from the reaction of the people who were surprised now.

Its a valuable image marketing that I cant do even if I spend a lot of money.

Then King Oden asked an unexpected question.

Then how do you think that money should be spent on the Bay Area?

.

Raymond blinked his eyes.

Your Highness should take care of that, why are you asking me? he gave this pretend expression to him.

Didnt you make such a request because you were thinking about something?

Environmental improvement is the most urgent.

Raymond told what he felt while treating patients.

The Bay Area was too dirty.

Because it was not properly managed, drinking water could be contaminated, and there were a lot of rats and bugs spreading the disease on every street.

If the environment improves, the number of patients dying from disease will decrease dramatically.

But Oden seems to have found Raymonds answer somewhat unsatisfactory.

We do need to improve the environment. But that is not enough. What more do you think it takes for the Bay Area peoples lives to ultimately improve?

Galman looked slightly surprised at Odens question.

This was a topic that Oden could never solve in his life.

But why is he asking Raymond about it?

Is he testing Raymond?

It is not like he would really want an answer.

The king just wants to hear what Raymond will say.

Meanwhile, Raymond, who was asked, thought with perplexity.

Why do you keep asking me that as a healer? The king must be the one to take care of it and think of a way to improve the lives of the Bay Area people!

How could I possibly know that?

No, come to think of it, I have a plan in mind.

An idea flashed through Raymonds mind.

Now Raymond has been in the Bay Area for quite a long time.

Naturally, he had no choice but to think about the slums, and how he can change the Bay Area. He had indeed thought of that.

Of course, he had thought of it but then moved on afterwards.

Well, can I talk about it?
