Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 192



Assistance (1)

“This is…”

“A list of city council members suspected of receiving money from a cartel.

Even if it floats around during the election season it disappears without even a rat or bird knowing after a gradual agreement is reached between lawmakers. “Take it.”

Evelyn said and leaned back in her chair.

“If you have the skills and connections of that broker you can trace where the cartel’s money is flowing with this amount of data.”

“…I owe you something.”

As Evelyn said it is highly likely that which city council members the cartel mainly provides money to will be very important information.

Since each city council member is in charge of a different district each council member is also likely to have different areas of expertise.

In other words you will be able to find out in which direction the cartel is conducting business and in which direction it is investing heavily and trying to avoid regulations.

This is all that comes to mind about Lennok right now so there’s no need to say how much Jenny would be able to put this material to good use if she got her hands on it.

The fact that she handed over this information that was secretly circulating among city council members was in effect the same as Evelyn siding with Lennok.

If this information is leaked out the first person to be suspected is Evelyn.

I could guess how much determination she had made to summon Lennok to this place.

“The reason I’m doing this isn’t because I want you to be done with the cartel.”

Evelyn said.

“Do it in moderation. Instead do it efficiently. What I am saying is that you should finish it appropriately while settling down. okay?”

I understand what she is saying.

Even if Lennok and Jenny win against the cartel it is impossible to immediately replace the cartel’s vacancy.

Evelyn hopes that Lennok will reap a reasonable amount of profit from the conflict with the cartel and stop infiltrating the underground business structure.

But instead of giving a confirmation Lennok smiled faintly.

“Well… it depends on how we get out there.”

Although he knew how powerful and large the cartel was Lennok was confident.

In the end if the conflict escalates into an armed confrontation it is decided which side will suffer more losses.

And Lennok had a knack for doing such things faster and more efficiently than anyone else.

After Lennok returned to the bar Jenny immediately took action.

Repairing and restoring a shattered building is not that difficult in this world where magic lives.

She called in contractors and restored the building to its original appearance in one day and immediately began preparing for further attacks by the cartel.

Using her connections she began recruiting security guards to protect the bar building.

It took less than half a day for more than 30 mercenaries to take up residence in the streets of District 49.

“You just have to work until we deal with the cartel. “The period was ample.”

Jenny said that and grinned at the mercenary in front of her.

“I will pay you handsomely so please work until your bones fall out.”

“Wow… I never imagined that I would be hired by them like this.”

The man who was listening to her smiled bitterly.

Tall height and broad shoulders. A mature man with impressive muscles and calm eyes.

Dray Krimgar looked down at Jenny and nodded.

“Well okay. Since I owe you a debt to the anti-mage this time I will take responsibility for protecting you.”

The Krimgal mercenary office that had previously participated in a request to subdue scavengers with Lennok.

Jenny scouted out all of the power of the Krimgal Mercenary Office including Dray Krimgal and put them into the task of protecting the office building.

“Wizard it’s been a while. “This is the first time since the witch doctor’s incident last time.”

“I think my complexion has improved since then. “It looks like you have regained your health.”

Dray who exchanged a brief greeting with Lennok grinned at those words.

“Not only that but our office has been doing quite well recently. Once the situation stabilizes more power will be available than now. “It will definitely be different from when I was with the little ones.”

“Is that what you’ve been thinking of us you little boss?”

“Don’t you know that if you ignore those who contributed to starting your business you will be stabbed in the back?”

At those words Kidel a bespectacled woman standing behind her and Ike a bald man grumbled.

While the three Sarim were bickering among themselves another one approached Lennok.

“Wizard.”

“…Weian?”

“long time no see.”

Wei An’s grinning appearance while saying that was so drastically different from Lennok’s memories that it could not even be compared.

The clumsy appearance that vaguely walked the line between boy and young man has almost disappeared and he has grown much taller.

His face has also become much more mature making him look like a young man of similar age to Lennok.

The magical energy wrapped around his body was sharp enough to make even Lennok look at him again.

If it weren’t for the two tonfas he wore around his waist even Lennok wouldn’t have recognized him.

Wei An seemed to understand Lennok’s reaction and bowed and shook his hand politely.

Lennok accepted the handshake with a shocked expression.

“…You’ve really grown up a lot. Do children usually grow up this fast?”

“It would have been impossible without the wizard’s help.”

“….”

The way he spoke was not much different from before but Wei An’s attitude was extremely polite as if he was attending a teacher.

Additionally the prayer flowing from his body is so neat that it reminds one of a martial artist.

Wei An paid no heed to Lennok’s attitude and spoke with a firm expression.

“I am not ungrateful. “I will help the wizard with his business as much as he helped us.”

“…Okay thank you.”

“Please leave it to me. “If there’s anything I need to do just tell me.”

After saying that Dray burst out laughing as he watched Wei An disappear outside the bar saying he was going to go on patrol.

“I thought the wizard wouldn’t know either.”

“I’m not strange am I?”

“of course. Isn’t it strange that this guy grows so tall even after he’s in his twenties? “He whined that he was in pain for a while but he grew taller in just a week.”

As Dray said that he looked at Wei An’s back with a somewhat pleased expression.

“I don’t know why but Wei An’s skills have grown as well as his height. “If you see him working you might be even more surprised than you are now.”

According to him his physique has grown but as Wei An has refined his magical manipulation abilities his combat ability has also rapidly improved.

Not only has his skills grown incomparably with his predecessor he is currently playing the role of an overwhelming ace at the Crimgal Mercenary Office.

Dray even casually talked about the fact that a lot of scouting inquiries about Wayan were coming in from other offices and organizations.

“Nowadays we teach situational judgment and how to lead an organization instead of just combat skills. “I don’t know how long he will work at my office but this is the only area I can help him with.”

Even though Dray is a former soldier and possesses basic combat skills and various abilities if he says something like that it seems that Wei An has really developed his skills very rapidly.

Lennok listened to him in silence and then realized why he felt awkward about Wei An’s growth and chuckled.

There are quite a few people who have established relationships while working as freelancers but most of them are talented people who have already completed their skills or established their own style.

It was my first time seeing someone else grow or increase their reputation in this nearby area.

Those who had potential but lacked immediate skills often ended up dying mercilessly on this floor.

“….”

Lennok watched in silence as Dray began to plan patrol routes while discussing various situations with his mercenaries.

These are the people who rushed to help Lennok even after hearing that he was turning against a big name called the cartel.

I didn’t think that a relationship formed simply through work would lead to this point but it didn’t feel that bad.

Ultimately I also knew that in order to move up this street a relationship beyond simple profit and loss was needed.

Dray also knows this so he decided to support Lennok without hesitation.

In that case Lennok also needed to produce results that matched his expectations.

“Come here for a moment.”

While he was lost in thought Jenny gestured toward Lennok from inside the bar.

Lennok glanced at the mercenaries in discussion with serious faces in front of the bar and headed inside the bar where Jenny dragged him towards the office.

“What’s going on?”

“If we can’t avoid fighting with the cartels we should prepare in advance. “I was contacting you here and there because of that.”

“Did you call someone other than the Crimegal Mercenary Office?”

“Um… let’s go in and talk.”

Jenny said and pushed Lennok into the office.

As soon as he entered the room a truly spectacular sight unfolded before Lennok’s eyes.

“Grung…!!”

Ttuduk!

This is because two animals over 2 meters tall were sitting still and facing each other.

“….”

A werewolf with an elongated snout and a giant bird-headed giant with an impressive sharp eagle beak.

Jenny’s office was by no means cramped but with the two beasts staring at each other it seemed like there was no room to breathe.

As Lennok entered the room the eyes of both beasts turned towards him at the same time.

“Oh half! “Welcome.”

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

Two beasts waving their hands at Lennok almost simultaneously. And again they glare strongly at each other at the same time.

It feels strange to see a wolf and a bird fighting in one place but the fact that Lennok recognizes them both makes it even more awkward.

That was nothing short of proof that Lennok had done a lot on this street.

Lennok who sighed and sat down on a chair looked at Jenny and asked.

“Did you bring in both Dyke and Antares?”

Dyke’s head of security. Killian the werewolf and Felix the bird-headed giant of the Antares mercenaries.

To begin with his memory was quite good and the appearance of the two beasts was so impressive that Lennok immediately remembered their faces.

“Killian why are you needlessly transformed?”

At Lennok’s words the wolf scratched its chin with a sheepish expression.

“No I came into the room and that bird transformed first.”

“For me this is a transformation to my original self and there is nothing to worry about.”

When Felix answered in a solemn voice with his arms crossed Killian clicked his tongue and turned his head.

In an instant he returned to the form of a green-haired young man and said while looking at Lennok.

“I only heard the story roughly. “They say they’re trying to get into a fight with the cartel?”

As he said that he bared his teeth and grinned.

“Panoa asked me to say hello. “You sent me instead so let’s do our best together this time.”

“…Well is the story already over?”

“of course. From our perspective who originally did business in Yangji it would be much better to help you and share the pie than to split it with guys like the cartel… hmm that’s right.”

“….”

Lennok chuckled at Killian’s words slightly averting his gaze.

I think I have a rough idea of ​​what they were thinking but it wasn’t such a bad thing from their point of view.

I never would have thought that Jenny would have asked Dyke for cooperation but it is also surprising that Dyke accepted this offer so quickly.

But I can roughly understand it.

Jenny’s existing connections are already intertwined with the cartel so it is highly likely that she will not be able to move easily.

So Jenny contacted people who came to this street from all over the country and organizations that were completely outside of these interests.

Perhaps the Antares mercenaries are part of that.

“Felix. “That one too?”

“…I came personally to discuss that matter.”

After answering in a serious voice he cleared his throat and glanced down at Killian.

“Because our circumstances are different from those of corporations.”

“What are you looking at?”

“….”

Well it is quite impressive to see the races bickering as if they are breathing as if they have bad feelings toward each other.

When I first met Felix he seemed quite calm and serious but it was surprising that he seemed so heated.

“Of course I am grateful to Jenny for her consideration in not contacting Dylan or Mila first. If it were those two they would accept the request right away regardless of the mercenary group’s position…”

Lennok listened to that and leaned back in his chair.

“So you came in person to discuss the seriousness of dealing with the cartel.”

“That is correct. If I had to add it doesn’t mean it’s a rejection…”

“I want to make a deal.”

Jenny who was standing behind Lennok said.

“This man came from the beginning to present conditions to us as Antares’ acting authority.”

“You saw it correctly.”

Felix’s eyes sank deeply.

“The Antares mercenaries are willing to cooperate with you at any time depending on the situation.”
