Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 135: Lies Mixed in the Truth (2)

'He knew about it!'

If he were an idiot with nothing but air in his head, he wouldn't be aware of what was happening around him. However, due to his cautiousness, he had indeed noticed this.

His timing was also not bad. He probably thought he was one step ahead of me.

Seeing his arrogant expression made the urge to laugh noticeably harder to resist. However, I knew I should stop acting so awkwardly.

'I should look surprised.

It was good to bring about a sense of realism to the situation. However, it wasn't easy to contort my expression the way I wanted it to.

'Should I take an acting class?'

I could probably find a suitable tutor within Lindel.

Even as I held back my laughter, Ito Souta was preparing himself to deal another blow. He looked around the audience, aware that everyone's attention was on him.

With his relaxed demeanor, it would be hard for everyone to think of him as a sinner. Meanwhile, one of his delegates could be seen pulling out a familiar, tiny potion. Without a doubt, this was the product I had made.

"This potion is currently circulating."

"Please refrain from making a statement that has nothing to do with the trial!"

It had been good of me to tell Lee Jihye beforehand.

She stood up while hitting the desk with a bang. Anyone would think that she did so in panic.

"I have objections! Supreme Judge, that person is talking about something that has nothing to do with this trial!"

"No, Supreme Judge. The story I'm going to tell you from now on is, undoubtedly, a key issue that will play a major role in this trial, and it is a subject that should not be left out. Honorable Supreme judge, please allow me to speak."

The Supreme Judge shook his head slightly at Ito Souta's remarks, but the Yamato Guild Leader seemed to have one of the other judges on his side.

As he whispered to the Supreme Judge, he eventually nodded.

"I will allow you to speak."

"Thank you."

'Good. Good

"As I said, this potion is currently in circulation. It hasn't been long since it started selling, but it was already being sold on the black market for a long time. The price is about 20 gold per person; you can say that it is cheap, and you can also say it is expensive."

"So what's the problem, defendant?"

"The problem lies in the effectiveness of this potion. Honorable Supreme Judge, just as it was named a fantasy potion, it was designed to allow humans to see the fantasy they want to see. It's a kind of hallucinogen. It's not just that. It's also deadly addictive."

"I have objections, Supreme Judge."

"I'll listen to his explanation a little more."

Ah, Jihye's timing was impeccable, and not to mention - her acting skills were amazing.

After analyzing her expression and finding nothing wrong, Ito Souta continued to speak.

"Yes. You are right. This potion is addictive. Like... Just like drugs."

'Bingo

'Well done, my child!'

At this point, I wanted to cheer for him.
