Chapter 200: Chapter 73

It took about one week for Kanghyok to find out the golden ratio of the toxicity of fugu.

For he had to go through trials and errors, with lots of tradeoffs in the testing process.

Kanghyok looked at Dolsok, Yoju, Yoni and Dorkke who were exhausted after blowing t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es hard, and the gang of the acrobatic members who had to be the guinea pigs for his experiment.

'Can his condition go back to normal?'

Kanghyok looked at one gang member who was done in. Kanghyok gave a shot to the wrinkles of his forehead, but his eyes drooped after that.

He didn't know the toxin injection had such a strong effect.

He gave a shot to another guy several days ago, who was limping even now.

It was through such sacrifices that Kanghyok could find out that golden ratio.

“Good. If it's diluted by 500 times, the poison injection is safe and effective.”

Kanghyok looked at a guy in one corner, who was drooling a lot.

Ironically he was the guy who could have lost his life due to Kanghyok's first test.

“Is he okay now?” asked Dolsok, looking at his drooling saliva.

“Oh, he was partially paralyzed, right? It will go back to normal over time. Of course, he has to stay with it for the time being.”

“It's amazing. How come just one shot can make him paralyzed like that?”

“Well, it's the first time I've observed its effect like this.”

“You're not testing me any more, right, sir?”

A guy, whose mouth was partially paralyzed, asked pleadingly.

Actually he was given several shots for the past few days.

Though he was not old enough, he did go through the most difficult times recently.

“No more! Let me stop here.”

“Thanks so much, sir. Thanks for saving my life.”

“You don't have to.”

It was true that Kanghyok saved his life, but it was the very same man who could have killed him.

“Can I go now?”

With a sullen face he then looked at his colleagues in the yard.

Some of them had bandages on their bodies while others were suffering with pain after injection.

Everybody looked noticeably weak, but it was not because they were starved.

Though the injection of fugu poison was dangerous, its effect was remarkable.

“Sure, you can leave now.”

The guy, along with his members, left the place quickly.

Looking at them, Dolsok didn't hide his concern about them.

“Is it okay to let them go like this?”

“Why?”

“What if they come back to do harm to us?”

“Harming us? Don't you know they have gone through such an ordeal here?”

“I know, but did you do it on purpose?”

“In some respect, hahaha.”

As for treating Sungryong Yu, Kanghyok had his hemorrhoids treated at his house.

For he wanted to give the troublesome acrobatic members that he lived in a house where higher-ups in the government like the minister of education and culture came every day.

Not only the minister but also Yunkil Kim, who was appointed as the minister of the interior, as well as the mayor of Ansung and Hangbok Lee, a senior director with the ministry of education and culture visited Kanghyok's house.

In every respect Kanghyok's house could not be the target of the street gang.

“Good idea! By the way, when are you going to visit Lord Hangbok Lee?”

“Quite soon. Looks like he is pretty busy these days. He is not coming to see me at all.”

That was true.

After Hangbok took Pyonsu, the leader of the troublesome acrobatic team, to his house, the other day, he didn't come back to Kanghyok again.

“Huh? He looks like a servant with Lord Hangbok's house.”

“Really? Do you remember him?”

“Yes, I know his face.”

Like the talk of the devil, Hangbok obviously sent his servant to Kanghyok.

“How are you, sir, Dr. Kanghyok Paek?”

As soon as he came to Kanghyok, he lowered his head.

“What has brought you here?”

“My lord has suddenly become busy because of state affairs, so he couldn't contact you.”

“No worries. I was quite busy, too.”

Then he pointed at his a.s.sistants who were p.o.o.ped out after helping him test with t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es for the past several days.

“I see. My lord is wondering if you could come tomorrow. Are you available, sir?”

“Ah, tomorrow?”

“Yes, sir.”

Kanghyok was anxious to test his newly developed drug on Hangbok's wife.

On this occasion he wanted to ask more about Yorip Chung.

Though Yoju said she didn't know much about him, Kanghyok felt she must hide something important.

'Didn't she say Yorip was a distant relative of her family? She must hide something.'

Kanghyok looked askance at Yoju, who was lying on back, putting her hand on her blistered mouth.

“Hmm…”

When Kanghyok didn't answer for a while, the servant cleared his throat.

“Oops! Sorry about that. What did you say?”

“I asked you if you could come over to my lord's house tomorrow.”

“Sure, sure.”

“Thanks, sir. I'll relay your message to my lord.”

“Take care, then.”

There were no more guests after the servant went back.

Everybody welcomed it as they were so tired and exhausted after several days of hard work.

“Let's enjoy delicious food and go to sleep early!”

At Kanghyok's announcement, all of them shouted for joy.

“Hoorah!” shouted Dolsok carelessly.

Given that n.o.body but the king deserted such an exclamation, Dolsok's behavior was quite inappropriate.

They didn't care, of course. Their prime concern at the moment was what kind of food they would have.

“As I touched many bull's t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es, I'm sick and tired of beef.”
