    Exploration Team (1)

    Jenny’s expression hardened as she immediately understood Lennok’s words.

    “Are you saying you’re being followed?”

    “I changed lanes twice and caught up to me when I turned southeast so it’s almost certain.”

    A life reaction clearly captured in the senses through magical power.

    The presence that shined so clearly compared to other civilians in the area was proof that the other person was by no means an ordinary person.

    A superman with magical powers. They are also skilled at a considerable level.

    “Front and back. And there’s one approaching in the lower lane. “It won’t be long before we catch up.”

    “…I’m not very confident in driving.”

    Even though Jenny muttered that she didn’t hesitate and immediately pressed her right foot.

    As soon as he heard Lennok’s words he immediately began to speed up to beat the chase.

    Buaaaa!!

    Along with the sensation of the car sinking low the surrounding scenery instantly began to change into lines.

    The wind blowing through the slightly open window is extremely stinging.

    Lennok frowned as he saw the opponent speeding up beyond his invisible sensory sphere.

    “…..It’s late.”

    Quaaaaaaa!!

    At the same time as those words were said three jeeps appeared smashing the guardrail from the front and back and attacked the sports car at the same time.

    “Fuck…!!”

    Jenny let out a low curse and turned the steering wheel sharply.

    At the same time the car leaning to the left skids leaving a long scratch on the road.

    I narrowly avoided the pitch-black headlights of the jeep and passed by.

    Good profit!!

    Contrary to people saying she’s not good at driving Jenny’s hand movements are surprisingly calm.

    I turned the steering wheel until I was about to fall then maintained my balance exquisitely took direction again and drove down the empty road in an instant.

    The jeeps realizing that they were barely able to block the road rev up their engines and chase after us.

    Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!!

    Chasers hanging on the door of a moving car and shooting in this direction.

    Jenny instinctively lowered her head but Lennok realized that what they were aiming for was not to destroy the car body but to explode the tires.

    “Turn on the steering wheel!!”

    Jenny despite being frantic twists the car body around to somehow avoid being shot.

    However when the opponent’s shooting did not go well they began to apply pressure using completely different means.

    Grrrrrrrrr!!

    Jenny who saw a fireball falling before her eyes opened her mouth wide.

    Lennok raised his magic power in his arms.

    “Dabi.”

    It’s so scary…!!

    [Confirmed. From this time operation control authority will be taken over and operation will begin.]

    Buaaaa!!

    Immediately after that the steering wheel that Jenny was holding began to move as it pleases moving roughly in a completely different way than before.

    Tutututu!!

    The front of the vehicle was intentionally slammed into the guardrail and the recoil caused it to change direction.

    Bullet bullets and all kinds of tricks pass by momentarily missing the movement of the sports car running in the opposite direction as if bouncing.

    It’s a fierce attack that doesn’t look like it’s trying to kill us but it doesn’t look like it has any intention of letting us go unscathed either.

    However Dabi’s driving skills which began learning autonomous driving AI data were completely different from what they expected.

    Tooung!!

    “Aaaah!!”

    After putting the wheels at an angle in the lane that goes to the outskirts of the road the vehicle tilts to one side and begins to drive.

    Jenny screamed at the risk of falling out of the outer lane at any moment.

    At the same time sparks flew from the wheels of the sports car and the body flipped sharply to the left.

    Whoa!!

    Everyone gaped at the sight of the bright red sports car rolling two and a half laps in the air and falling down the existing upper lane.

    If you land incorrectly it’s not unusual for the engine to shatter and the car to explode.

    However the car body which had been turning and flipping back and forth began to race down the lower lane without slowing down at all as the four wheels touched down with an exquisite gap.

    “Did you know you could use magic like this?!!”

    “How did it happen?”

    As Lennok responded he did not let his guard down and tilted his senses backwards.

    It would be great if we could escape the chase like this but considering that level of persistence and preparation it doesn’t end here.

    Kwaaaa!!

    Wow!!

    A huge rock blocking the entire four-lane road fell before our eyes completely destroying the road.

    No matter how accustomed Dabi was to automatic driving he had no choice but to step on the brakes when the road was completely damaged.

    Lennok clicked his tongue realizing that this brief gap was exactly what the pursuers wanted.

    The moment I couldn’t avoid this boulder the chase was almost over.

    “…This is my first time receiving a greeting like this.”

    Guuuung…

    A rock digging into the underside of the road while making a heavy sound. It wasn’t difficult to guess how much it weighed.

    “It won’t end once. “Can you watch this car for just a moment?”

    The moment she realized that she could no longer run away Jenny’s expression became extremely cold.

    Although she was faithful to her role as a broker who always stood a step away from the scene and watched from the ground up Jenny perfectly maintained her rationality even when her own body was in danger.

    She quickly took out her cell phone from her pocket and started making contacts here and there.

    “Let’s ask for support from someone nearby and get out right away. Fortunately you prevented damage to the car body so if you run straight to the side of the road…”

    “It’s late.”

    “what?”

    Instead of answering Lennok stood up from the passenger seat without saying a word.

    Dozens of signs caught by the sharply awakened sense of magical power.

    It is not a level that is approaching quickly. They had already reached this area and completely surrounded this area.

    “Don’t get out of the car.”

    After saying that Lennok opened the car door and walked out.

    At the same time I created magical power and used various enchantments on Jenny’s sports car to overlap the shield and security magic.

    It might at least prevent you from being swept away by the aftermath of a battle.

    While I was taking out a cigar from my arms and lighting it someone slowly emerged from the other side of the collapsed road through the late night fog.

    Lennok let out a laugh as he looked at the face of the man standing at the front of the group.

    “I was just wondering… but I didn’t know it was really there.”

    “Do you know me?”

    “Are you now pretending not to know? “It would be troublesome to make such a fuss in the VIP section and act like a fool.”

    “……”

    The blonde man pursed his lips in response to Lennok’s scathing words.

    Here was a member of the Arashark ruins exploration team who had been kicked out for arguing with an old gentleman in the VIP section on the third floor of the auction house.

    Although it was a situation that could not be understood through common sense Lennok quickly grasped the context and sighed.

    “It was all an act from the beginning. “It was they who put the Archangel’s Compassion up for auction.”

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    “Using Irina Fesfield’s death as bait he tried to cause a commotion at the auction house and steal something while everyone was distracted… And the moment that plan failed he caused a power outage at the auction house and immediately left.”

    The other members of the exploration team standing behind the man flinched at Lennok’s words.

    This is because the words muttered casually could easily pierce their intentions.

    “If instead of getting out of there they tracked this down and attacked us isn’t there only one conclusion that can be reached?”

    Lennok who was blowing out a stream of smoke while biting down on a cigar grinned.

    “You came back so far to meet Yakseon.”

    “……..”

    “Someone in the exploration team had to receive treatment from a top-notch doctor. And considering the rumors I heard about it at the auction house I know who it is.”

    Lennok took out the amulet of medicine from his pocket and shook it slightly.

    The members of the exploration team tried not to show it but they could not stop their gaze from turning towards the amulet.

    “Colleagues going to any lengths to help their sick leader… It’s a tearful story.”

    The story is simple if the relic ‘Archangel’s Compassion’ has appeared as a genuine item at an auction house and what the exploration team is aiming for is a talisman to meet the medicinal heron.

    Irina Pesfield is not dead but was severely injured in some kind of incident and they are looking for a way to treat her.

    If you come this far and keep your mouth shut you’re not being prudent you’re just being a foolish fool.

    The man realizing that there was no point in hiding it anymore opened his mouth with difficulty.

    “You’re right.”

    “……Commander!”

    The young man who had just taken off his boyish t-shirt was startled and grabbed the man’s shoulder but the man slapped his hand away with a grim expression.

    “Miles stay still. “What’s the point in hiding it now?”

    “But if I reveal this fact the leader…”

    “I can’t help it.”

    The man resolutely shook off the young man’s arm and stepped forward.

    “This is the only way to heal the leader’s wounds.”

    A man approached brushing his short blonde hair looking at Lennok who was dripping with smoke and said.

    “Originally there would have been no problem as long as I could obtain the Amulet of Medicine at the auction house. “I never would have thought that the appraisers at the auction house would not have recognized the value of the amulet and left it on the display shelf on the first floor but it was a good thing for us.”

    “……”

    “In order to prepare for any situation I took the Archangel’s compassion and even put on a childish play to attract attention but I had no idea that someone would steal the item before the bidding ended.”

    The man spoke unable to control the corners of his mouth that were shaking with anger.

    “It’s a job worthy of this dirty and filthy city.”

    Lennok understood the man’s feelings to some extent.

    I thought I was fully prepared and went into action to get what I wanted but how do I feel when things go wrong due to unimaginable variables?

    Even if the item wasn’t receiving much attention from others the feeling of disappointment would be doubled.

    No one here would have thought that Liam’s small favor would come back this way.

    The man took a deep breath and muttered.

    “Give me the Amulet of Medicine. “I will give anything I can.”

    “……”

    Lennok concentrated on smoking a cigarette in silence. It was as if he was telling me to keep talking.

    “It would be great if it could just end in a clean transaction. It’s okay if we just pretend everything that happened has never happened and go our separate ways. Even that woman who is busy talking on the phone in the car can finish it without getting hurt. “Isn’t this good for both sides?”

    “……”

    “I will give you any amount of money. Isn’t it the same that they also stole the goods in some way? “Unless it is specifically for the purpose of meeting a doctor I would prefer to be compensated in cash.”

    “Are you done with everything you wanted to say?”

    Lennok brushed away the ashes hanging from the end of the tobacco leaf and straightened the lapels of his coat.

    My fingertips which had become rough in the cold night air were trembling slightly.

    The man finally couldn’t stand his relaxed attitude and asked.

    “…I don’t know what you want to hear. Do you want an apology for our extreme approach? If that’s the case you can do whatever you want. Please give us a chance to cure the leader…!!”

    As he said that he knelt down and bowed his head.

    The other members of the exploration team standing behind had different expressions on their faces but did not stop the man.

    This probably means that saving exploration team leader Irina Pesfield is important to them.

    “Director Irina is a competent and indispensable person in the excavation of ruins enough to receive an official request for cooperation from the Balkan city government. It’s ridiculous that someone with such talent would die from an unexpected injury! please..!! “I can do anything you want!!”

    The scream of a man in despair.

    But Lennok didn’t even lift an eyebrow.

    “If you say that it makes me sound like a villain without blood or tears.”

    “I never thought of doing that…”

    “What’s your name?”

    “……Brooke. “It’s Brooke Powell.”

    “Brooke. “Has everyone gathered now?”

    “what?”

    “You’re talking nonsense and gathering people in this area. “Do you think I was listening to that nonsense all this time because I didn’t know that?”

    Brooke’s expression after hearing Lennok’s words was bewildered as if she really didn’t know anything.

    But Lennok smiled and pointed to the other colleagues standing behind him.

    “You have good acting skills but the guys standing behind you can’t control their facial expressions. “You still don’t understand?”

    “What is that…!”

    Brooke unconsciously turned her head in response to those words but at that moment Brooke realized that she had been fooled by Lennok’s pun and clicked her tongue.

    I turned my head away because I didn’t trust the members of the same exploration team in the first place.

    It was like adding confidence to Lennok’s words just now.

    Lennok laughed as he confirmed the approaching signs with his vast magic detection ability covering a radius of several kilometers.

    “Twenty… no about thirty. Seeing as the amount of magical power is not that great it seems like they hired other freelancers to block the escape route when necessary. “You say you don’t know much about this city but what you’re doing is extremely insidious.”

    “It was just a measure to share the story properly. That’s how much we really need that stuff. “It’s not a lie that I want to save the team leader.”

    Brooke quickly retorted but Lennok wasn’t interested in such excuses.

    When they realized that what they were looking for was a talisman of medicine there could never have been a transaction.

    “Are you going to admit it only if I give you a verbal explanation?”

    “What on earth is that…!”

    Lennok who cut off Brooke’s protest said.

    “It is obvious why we seek medicine that never discloses the patient’s secrets leaving other skilled healers behind. “This is because Irina Pesfield’s injury is something that should never be revealed or in any case should not be revealed to the outside world.”

    “……..”

    “You threw the entire auction house into chaos to meet that kind of medicine… and now you’re sending us back unharmed?”

    It was difficult to endure and listen to those ridiculous lies.

    Lennok looked back at the members of the exploration team with a cold sneer.

    “From the beginning my only intention was to kill it and cover its mouth but its snout is too long.”

    Brooke’s expression which had been blank as if she knew nothing suddenly became infinitely cold.
