Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 131: Witch hunt (1)

Nobles who had nothing else to do liked to gossip about other people, and this was a subject that I knew everyone would like talking about.

The news that Ito Souta, who everyone initially saw as a nice guy, tried to assassinate an innocent to conceal his weakness; this was enough to shake his social circle.

Because he had a good image and reigned as an idol in the social world, this had created a larger impact.

After my conversation with Cha Heera was over, it felt a little wasteful to spend the day by comforting Jung Hayan, but at the same time, I was in a good mood over the things I was hearing. Knowing that Lee Jihye was working hard was enough to make me happy.

Though talking was part of my skill, backtalk was Jihye's specialty.

'Today, I should backtalk too.

Anyway, it had been a while since Yuno Kasugano came here. She knelt down quietly and bowed to me.

"You seem to be in a good mood, master."

"Of course, there are no aftereffects like I thought, and the plan is proceeding smoothly."

"That... Did it hurt a lot?"

"It hurts, but it's fine. I took painkillers beforehand... In fact, it wasn't very effective because it felt like the magic was turning my insides... Rather, how is the distribution going?"

"We took care of everything exactly as the master said. It is already on the market, and the sales rate seems to be good."

"About how much?"

"As of today, the net profit has exceeded 20,000 gold, not considering what was put on the black market before."

"That's not bad, considering the short period."

"Yes. There are more and more people who purchase simply for personal satisfaction... I am expecting it to increase little by little."

"Good."

I knew it couldn't not be sold. Considering the price that could be easily accessed by the general public, it was not strange that it would become a hit, since its effects could make you forget the harsh reality for a while. It was an improved version of the psychotherapy concoction that I had developed back in the Cursed Shrine.

The problem was that the potion was very addictive.

There would be no big problem if you consulted with a pharmacist, but there was no one who could handle the potion properly when I was the real pharmacist in the first place.

"We won't get caught, right?"

"Yes, of course, master. Items sold on the black market are laundered through my personal business site, and the new guild selling potions is also moving according to procedures. Even some among the Yamato Guild members are using the potions..."

"That's amusing. Any other news from the Yamato Guild?"

"I can't figure it out exactly, but it seems that the guild's mood has changed a little after Ito Souta was taken in for investigation. They are refusing to trade with our guild, and they are meeting with the other guilds."

"Did you handle this?"

"Our guild is also constantly trying to contact the other guilds. You don't have to worry, master. Even in Japan, Ito Sota's public opinion is not very good."

"Good."

It's been a while since I've heard some good news. It felt better knowing his reputation was also dropping back in Celia. That was probably because Yozora, another large guild, was directly accusing him.
