Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 190



Warning(1)

“I don’t know how to start the conversation…”

Jenny sighed as she said that.

“You can tell at a glance right?”

Lennoc clicked his tongue after seeing that carefree face.

Despite her worries on the way down to the bar there wasn’t a single scratch on her body.

The bar which occupied an entire three-story building did not even remain in its original form.

Above the second floor the office is completely shattered and in disarray as if it had been hit by a bomb and on the first floor blood and dust are piled up and rolling around.

The only thing that has maintained its original form is the bar located in the basement.

Even in that bar half of the bar was destroyed and tables with broken legs were rolling all over the place.

What’s absurd is that in the meantime there are still customers giggling among themselves and drinking.

“The people who come here at this point are also crazy.”

When Lennok stuck out his tongue Jenny laughed with her mouth open.

“There are quite a few people who wouldn’t be surprised if they died tomorrow.”

Lennok who accepted the glass of alcohol she handed him took out a cigar from his arms and said.

“Okay so just explain. “I was planning to just briefly tell you what happened so far and then go and rest but what’s going on?”

“The cartels are starting to take action.”

cartel.

Although it is generally a general term for a faction or group there is only one cartel mentioned in a large city.

One of the criminal organizations that dominate the underbelly of the Balkans and one of the three underworld magnates called the Three Heads.

Basically it was created by a group of companies that were involved in illegal business but it eventually degenerated into a simple criminal organization. It is also known as the most sensitive and quick-moving of the three leaders.

“It was good to put up a sign and change the company name… but the checks came in too quickly.”

While Lennok left for the Dominion Jenny wanted to start the business in earnest just as she had told him and succeeded in attracting several sponsors and putting it in a decent shape in just ten days.

The theme she wanted to start her business with was distribution.

The plan was to take over the shadowy logistics distribution business which is now in the hands of scavengers.

“I was planning to quickly establish myself by gathering people who were skeptical about mercenary life and the connections I built while working as a broker but it seems the cartel guys were also keeping an eye on this.”

When the daughter of Kaise who ruled the shadowy areas of the Balkans in the past begins to come to the fore the market structure is greatly shaken.

The quality of her connections was enough to summon retired bigwigs from the front line so the cartel was concerned that the existing ruling order would be shaken.

However just because she started a business it is difficult for the cartel to have a justification for taking action.

That’s why the cartel left a warning by destroying the bar while she was away.

“When I was concentrating on my brokerage I didn’t bother to touch it but I guess things have changed now.”

As Jenny said that she bit into the stick and let out thick smoke.

“I couldn’t continue working like this so except for you I turned the other freelancers towards Sebastian and Madame. “If I’m going to have customers come back later I’ll leave it to people I know.”

“Why was I left out?”

“That’s because the company was founded in your name.”

“….”

Jenny held out a document in front of Lennok who was speechless.

Business registration certificate.

The representative’s name had Ban’s and Jenny’s names engraved side by side.

Well now it would be meaningless to say whether consent was obtained or whether proper procedures were followed.

I could only admire Jenny’s resourcefulness and ability to act as she naturally incorporated this clumsy identity of Van into her business registration certificate.

“For reference this is the amount of investment I received before starting the business.”

“hmm….”

“This is the amount set as the CEO’s annual salary. Additional negotiations are possible at any time if necessary.”

Lennok nodded.

“Let’s get to work right away.”

Did you say that the people who make the most money in the world are businessmen and the second ones are the investors who finance those businesses?

My worries quickly disappeared when I saw the numbers printed on the calculator.

In any case this was already agreed upon in advance before leaving for the Dominion.

In the end unless you have great influence in the shadows of Balkan you will never be able to access the rare magic and elixirs that Lennok wants.

The time to crouch under the excuse of being a freelancer is over.

Now that the Dominion had once again gained confidence in its own capabilities it was time to expand its position more actively.

[I heard the news well.]

As the magic power flowing from the medicine vessel trembled electricity flowed out.

[Even this old man heard the story that the guy who was hiding in the Republic fell into a coma.]

“….”

Of course Van’s name never came out in the process of the drug lord’s downfall but there is no way that someone of the drug lord’s level could not have noticed what Lennok was doing.

She looked at Lennok with emotionless eyes and quietly accepted the Malabeth roots he gave her.

[I don’t know if I have the right to say anything now that I’ve given up everything… But I still want to say it. You made my wish come true.]

“I just tried it because I thought it could be done. “I can only say that I was lucky that I succeeded.”

Lennok honestly confessed his feelings.

It may be dangerous for the entire story of the battle with the drug lord to be leaked but it didn’t matter in front of Yakseon.

After today’s meeting she won’t remember anything anymore.

[Nothing happens by chance between you and people as powerful as drug lords.]

Yakseon categorically denied Lennok’s words.

[How can we blame luck and chance among superhumans who interfere with the law? Although I too felt sad because I regarded my vices as my own shortcomings I did not resent them. but….]

Contrary to her words which seem to be detachment from the world human attachment does not easily leave the earth.

Both Lennok and Yakseon knew that fact without even having to say it.

[I will also do my best to respond to your wishes. Leave it to me.]

As she picked up the dark-colored roots her eyes were shining more vividly than ever before.

[This might open up a possibility for your ridiculous nature.]

Lenok closed the door of the small hut and watched the medicine ship disappear coming down the mountain in silence.

Magicians who have reached their limits impose restrictions on themselves in order to pursue the realm beyond.

The trigger used by shamans like Grisha is ultimately a restriction that operates on a similar principle.

How far can Lennok who has been imposing a penalty on himself since he opened his eyes in this world rise to the top?

When Lennok finally gets the answer he wanted will he be able to remain the same person he was in the beginning?

It was something unknown.

Good people like Yak-seon also fell prey to the shackles they created due to a moment of mistake.

Lennok will also have to be constantly on guard to prevent that from happening.

After handing Malabeth over to Yakseon Lennok completed the necessary errands and returned home.

Since the conflict with the cartel ended with a warning Jenny and I had concluded that we would wait and see so we had to take a break first.

I put down my luggage full of things I brought from the Dominion.

I laid down on the bed which was lightly dusty without even being able to wash it.

“Cough.”

Although he started coughing Lennok lay down in a daze and quietly closed his eyes.

The pills and painkillers that were smoked one after another in the Dominion. Plus the fatigue accumulated from not being able to rest in succession.

Although I left the lighthouse with enough rest to be able to move it still couldn’t compare to the relief of returning home.

Even though it is still an unstable place and it would not be strange if it disappeared at any time.

It was a sanctuary built by Lennok with his own hands.

“Whoa….”

It felt like I was going to fall asleep at any moment but there was one last thing left to do.

As soon as I returned to the Balkans quite a few messages piled up on my cell phone.

First I leave a message to Aris about returning from vacation who gets angry and asks where she is and why she hasn’t even contacted me.

I sent a reply to Evelyn who asked to see her face but refused.

It was only after receiving a message from Dylan who made a fuss about not being able to see his face at the bar these days and even replying that he had closed down his business that Lennok turned off his cell phone and lay down.

As soon as I closed my eyes my consciousness sank deeply for a moment.

Eventually only the sound of soft breathing filled the quiet room.

“Ban is back?”

“yes. It seems that destroying the bar directly had an effect. “Seeing as he showed up less than three days later I think he may have been observing the situation from a place out of sight.”

“Hmm… The woman I know isn’t the type of person who would want to see this side’s reaction to the point of destroying her own bar.”

A woman with a somewhat husky voice spoke angrily at the man’s grumpy response.

“It doesn’t matter whether they know or not. “What are you talking about when this has already happened?”

“Calm down Iola. “I’m just saying that’s what I remember… So how is the installation business going that Zenith said it would do?”

“On the day the bar was destroyed it seemed like there was a brief pause but work resumed within a day. “They started working again before Ban showed up again so it can be said that they didn’t pay any attention to their movements from the beginning.”

“Uhm….”

“If you hesitate you will ultimately be unable to stop anything. I don’t know how they did it but led by an old man named Vincent who was leading inter-city trade they sought out a large number of investors and received supplies and capital. “It is not easy to put pressure on investors because we are a bit different from the businessmen we were backing in the Balkans.”

“Does this mean I have to touch Zenith one more time?”

The woman did not respond to the man’s unreliable words but that was no different from de facto agreement.

“…Should I contact the boss one more time? “Didn’t my grandfather also receive a lot from Uncle Kaise?”

“Virgil. Do you still want to talk about it? Come to your senses. “The boss said he could kill Zenith right away.”

“….”

“Isn’t it only you old backroom guys who remember Kaise? Now let’s forget that name and nip in the bud any competitors that seem competent.”

Virgil didn’t answer.

The woman seeing the stubbornness on her stern face sighed.

“Are you saying you don’t want to get blood on your hands? great. “Then I will do it myself.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“If you’re going to disobey me one time I’ll have to cut off your limbs the next time.”

The eyes of the woman who said that shone coldly.

“Isn’t there a lot of ways? Leave it to me. Not only will I complete the job perfectly but I will also be able to get a clear estimate of the skills of that wizard named Ban.”

-Lenok. It doesn’t really matter to me but the university administration is very dissatisfied.

Aris cleared her throat slightly and spoke as if she was embarrassed.

“…sorry.”

-Please know that this level was only reduced after Lennok was revealed to be an elementalist. I don’t mind if Lennok doesn’t do anything in the lab but I think it would be nice if he at least shows his face.

“Yes yes. I will try to go to work right away even starting next week. “I will never have to take such a long vacation again.”

After finishing the call Lennok straightened his back which he had been bending without realizing it and sighed.

I never thought that Aris would call me directly the morning after receiving Lennok’s message.

In fact Lennok had nothing to say about this so he was unilaterally indebted to Aris.

The efforts of Aris who noticed Lennok’s talent for theoretical research and scouted him for the lab were in vain as Lennok had never achieved any remarkable results.

Aris doesn’t seem to care if Lennok is just eating in the lab but that doesn’t mean he can’t really do anything.

I accepted it because I thought that it was possible and necessary to make life in the sun and in the shade compatible but it was not easy.

‘It would be a good idea to write a paper on lightning properties later…’

If Aris can say something like this you can roughly guess what his reputation is within the university.

Although he made friends with the undergraduate students of the Department of Elements whom he met in person by selling Dabi’s face he would be seen as an indisputable scoundrel to the undergraduate students who wanted to join Aris’ lab or the staff in the administrative office.

Lennok also needed to come up with something plausible for the other researchers in the lab whom he had not yet met in person.

“Let’s at least get started…”

Lennok muttered that turned on the laptop he had placed in one corner of the lab and sat down.
