This Bastard is Too Competent
Chapter 12 - You Didn't Know This Would Happen, Right?

“Please…accept this.”

What Gerard handed to Ian was unexpectedly a healing potion.

This was produced in the Kingdom of Magicians, and in this place called the Kingdom of Swordsmen, it was one of the precious treasures that only remained as ancient relics.

‘If you drink it, you can save someone on the brink of death.’

In short, a miracle medicine.

If Ian had to pick a disadvantage, it had too powerful and too quick healing power.

It was ironic, but it was true. For example, if the potion was applied while the fractured bones were not aligned properly, it would be healed in a bent state, and the limb would stick strangely.

Anyway, Ian just stared at Gerard with a blank face even after looking at such decent stuff.

There was nothing special about this potion.

As Ian lost in thought, Gerard looked rather embarrassed and opened his mouth.

“Prince doesn’t know what this is. This healing potion is said to be potent enough to revive patients on their deathbed.”

He began to eagerly explain to the prince, who seemed to know nothing, about the medicine he brought.

In the end, Ian finally noticed.

‘Ah! This potion should be precious at this time. It will be such a common item in the future that I forgot about it.’

This was because this healing potion would become very cheap due to the discovery of certain ruins in the future.

The potion Gerard was holding was expensive now, but in the future, it would have a low value.

Ian was not very impressed to have that.

But if they sold that potion at the market price now.

‘It’s enough to buy a villa for most nobles.’

At the same time, Ian recalled a memory.

It was about a family that discovered and monopolized the said ruins.

‘The Duke definitely got his hands on the ruins which produce that potion.’

The Duke mobilized several legions only to monopolize the potion. And it became one of the great powers that changed the course of the succession war.

In other words, this was his enemy’s possession.

Ian smiled ominously at the thought.

‘Alright. I’ll take over that, too.’

But his thoughts only lingered for a while.
