How did Archimedes, the greatest mathematician before Isaac Newton die? It was when Roman soldiers took over Syracuse, the city he lived in, and invaded his home. As the soldiers stepped on the shape he drew, he told them not to touch it. Of course, the soldiers who could barely do addition and subtraction did not know the value of his work. And so, they stabbed him to death as the soldiers didn’t like how a citizen of a defeated country was telling them what to do.4

The situation Gil Hyung-Joon was looking at felt similar to that. It was clear that Young-Joon was as slow as Archimedes was, but what about Shim Sung-Yeol?0

After some tension…0

“Ha. Hahaha!”0

Suddenly, Shim Sung-Yeol burst out in laughter. This old, snake-like politician had already finished calculating this in his head.0

“I have made a mistake, Doctor Ryu. Since I’m getting older nowadays, I guess I was a little nervous that I would have less influence in the party. Forgive me.”0

Shim Sung-Yeol bowed to Young-Joon and apologized.0

Shim Sung-Yeol saw right through Young-Joon’s character. He was a powerful incarnation of research ethics itself, and the fruit of pure science who did not compromise with any kind of power. If Young-Joon was a person like this, he would not hold hands with other politicians either, meaning that Shim Sung-Yeol’s competitors would not be able to use Young-Joon easily. Then, he didn’t have to be anxious right now, nor did he have to be angry. He just had to back off once, play the character that fit his values and win his favor. Young-Joon was a scientist who would gain more and more influence....0
