Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 208



Prescription(1)

“This is how I planned to deal with the cartel executive I met the other day. “It’s just that the boss suddenly appears and mediates the situation making things difficult.”

At the point where Iola was completely subdued with the Mystic Eyes Lennok had no intention of killing her in the first place.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to kill him on the spot to vent his anger but I thought it would be more efficient in the current situation to capture him alive and spread information.

However unlike this time Virgil intervened and the situation came to a halt which was why Lennok finally brought up the Pure Land doctrine.

“In that sense I was quite lucky that such a high-ranking executive was able to move alone. In the worst case scenario we were even considering blocking the road and dealing with armed forces…”

Belita stuck her tongue out at Lennok’s harsh words.

“Girard Ozette is a murderer who specializes in independent action among the cartel’s top executives. “You’ve seen it in person so you know that because of its unique appearance and bizarre personality it causes a lot of accidents here and there but there’s no doubt about its skills.”

“In the mercenary industry he is well-known as a crazy guy who must be avoided when faced with an enemy during an operation. “After being appointed to the position of head of the cartel his outside activities have decreased but he is not an opponent who can easily give up loopholes like this.”

“hmm….”

The words the two spoke were calm but there was a hint of admiration that could not be hidden.

And since most of the admiration was for the ability of Lennok’s use of the teaching tool Jeonto Shin Ha-jin-eon Lennok nodded with satisfaction.

‘With this level of performance it will definitely work against higher-level opponents.’

I’ve tried activating it for testing a few times but I’m even more satisfied because it’s my first time using it in real life.

It was a plan prepared as a backup just in case while destroying the cartel’s partner businesses but there was no opportunity to use it until now.

That would have been possible because Girard was the first cartel executive to pursue Lennok so persistently.

In addition this was possible because even though he was a member of the managerial level he had unusual abilities and tastes to the extent that he preferred to act alone.

If we had tried to defeat Girard properly and subdue him we would have had to spend dozens of times more time and resources than this but Jodo Shinhajineon is a powerful magic tool that freezes a specific space the moment it is activated and restrains the entire target.

There was no room to doubt its power as it was an item that Madrea Falseer the Heavenly Dog used until just before she became an ascendant.

It seems that Girard has been strengthening his power by changing the nature of his body’s magical power and doping his physical abilities the more he bleeds but there is probably nothing he can do within the sphere that blocks resistance throughout space.

Lennok carefully observed Girard’s appearance and stroked his chin in silence.

‘This is the first time that I have directly restrained someone of this level of skill with a space-based legal instrument. ‘You must remember the relevant phenomena and the flow of magic power.’

Considering that it takes about 10 seconds at the fastest to activate the Jodo Shinhajinma it may not be easy to come up with a case where the opponent is completely defeated like this.

This was possible because like Velver he had planned the power and plan to thoroughly suppress the enemy and had preheated the artifact in advance.

Somehow Lennok ended up getting space-based artifacts or artifacts instead of the time-based spells or artifacts he desperately wanted but Lennok did not neglect researching space-based spells.

Although they are each classified into completely different categories space and time are ultimately intertwined on one axis and are two axes that make up the world.

If I understood one I might be able to reach out to the other.

“half. So what are you going to do? “I think it would be better to kill him cleanly while he can’t resist.”

“Personally I recommend starting by putting Girard’s belongings up for auction. “There are a lot of people who have a grudge against him so even if you take off one of his limbs and sell it you could get a pretty good price.”

While Belita was kicking the shins of Belver who was casually saying things that a gangster or criminal organization would say Lennok made a decision.

“Belver’s suggestion seems interesting but the goal is to lock him up in an appropriate place and interrogate him.”

Lennok grabbed Girard by his hair and lifted him up.

The blank frozen eyes did not move at all.

“A high-ranking executive who could be a member of the cartel’s management agent must know a lot.”

“You won’t open your mouth easily.”

Belita said with a worried expression.

“Considering that he gets stronger when he is wounded or wounded physical torture won’t work either.”

Certainly once you strip away the Pure Land doctrine it will be difficult to properly tie him up.

“Don’t worry about that.”

However Lennok grinned as he pressed Girard’s head to the ground.

“Because I also have expertise in torturing magic users.”

Whoosh whoosh!!

Sweat drips down Virgil’s upper body as he bends his arms and holds his body close to the ground.

Although the thick chains tied to his body limited the range of muscle activity and placed enormous strain on him Virgil continued to exercise in silence.

Three system windows appeared above his head as he devoted himself to exercising with his head down.

[1: SOUND ONLY]

[3: SOUND ONLY]

[4: SOUND ONLY]

[4: Virgil. You probably heard the story right?]

“….”

[4: Girard was captured alive by a wizard named Van. This is a much bigger problem than that psychotic person dying at the hands of this guy.]

“…so?”

[3: Hey why is your answer like that?]

Displeased voices rang out one after another.

[3: I heard it was you Virgil who decided to take charge of this matter. Then you have to do the fucking thing right. There are now more than five businesses that have been destroyed on our side. Are you going to let this happen?]

“If you want to solve it do whatever you want.”

[3: What you bastard?]

Despite the high-pitched tone Virgil silently responded while paying attention to the stimulation of the muscles.

“The reason I am in charge of this matter is because I needed someone in charge until the report was sent to the chairman. “I told the chairman the whole story but I have no intention of getting involved in this matter myself.”

[1: What does that mean?]

When Number 1 opened his mouth for the first time Virgil slightly raised his head and smiled.

“The Chairman had completely forgotten about Zenith until I personally reported it. But obviously we were the ones who took the first step. That means that out of the three of you there was one who started the fight over there first right?”

[….]

“I don’t know if it’s one or two but I’m sure it’s not all three. Finish what you start yourself. It’s really outrageous that I have to say this out loud. “Do you really think you can sneakily avoid responsibility now?”

It has not yet been revealed who destroyed Zenith’s bar but if we check which side the cartel members involved in the operation are lined up on we will quickly come to a conclusion.

After the night he came face to face with Van to save Iola Virgil had long since given up any thought of getting into a fist fight with Van himself.

“A wizard named Ban. Strong. “At least he is a much more dangerous man than you think.”

[4: Anyway I’m just a freelancer….]

“I don’t know about Zenith and the others but it would be difficult to easily catch and kill a wizard of that level. “Once an indelible grudge has been planted you won’t be able to catch the bastard and the same thing will happen again and isn’t it clear where the damage will be reflected in personnel evaluations?”

This time everyone else kept their mouths shut.

Ultimately the problem stems from the simple fact that the cartels have much more to lose.

The damage that a cartel can inflict on itself is orders of magnitude different than the damage that can be inflicted on the other party.

Even though we know that Lennok’s intention is to imprint this point of view on the cartel and make them hesitate to take action we have no choice but to accept it.

“I chose the wrong time to get involved perhaps at a time when their business was fully established and expanding. “I don’t know whose mistake it was but you have to pay for it.”

[3: This bastard says he’ll see.]

His voice became sharper.

[3: Are you saying you’ll just put your name up and if the one among us who made a mistake solves it you’ll get a good justification?]

[1: Merilda. stop.]

A heavy voice was heard and the harsh swear words stopped.

The words continued from the monitor with number 1 written on it.

[1: Virgil I know what you want to say. First of all Girard was nominally the agent of the business I was managing so I’ll take care of things first.]

“….”

[1: But this is just as funny as it is. How many years has it been since we have not been able to reach this level of unity of opinion… Your provocative words and actions are certainly responsible for that as well.]

“I admit it.”

[1: If things don’t work out properly you may or may not know it but you have to be prepared for the responsibility of the executives on your line. The child you care about Iola should not be overlooked either. Oh did I say I haven’t fully recovered yet?]

Virgil’s eyes shine sharply as he lowers his head but no one notices his gaze.

Long after the meeting ended Virgil stood up covered in sweat.

He muttered as he covered himself with a towel hanging a thick chain on one side of the exercise equipment that was crowded around him.

“I don’t think it was a coincidence that I touched Zenith at this time…”

Although it may seem like a mistake at first glance everything that is happening now is exquisitely taking place in the direction of forcing proper justification and one-sided benefit on Ban and Jenny.

To be precise in the direction of continuously and reliably reducing the power of the cartel.

No matter how grand the mistake it cannot be said to be a coincidence if the damage is accumulated this elaborately.

“Someone turned their back on the chairman.”

There was a traitor inside.

Fluctuations in the internal order of an organization that has never changed for decades.

From Virgil’s perspective it was much more important than the existence of a wizard named Van who was resisting the cartel.

* * *

[Jenny couldn’t come?]

“…because the situation was not favorable. “He asked for my understanding.”

As Lennok began to destroy the cartel’s businesses in earnest Jenny and Jordon became more cautious about their official actions.

In particular after Zorden was kidnapped and almost died the two had no choice but to refrain from any action that could compromise the protection of the mercenary group including Dray.

Jenny would have been willing to go with Lennok on something like this if he had said so but Lennok didn’t bother to go that far.

[okay. That’s a little disappointing. I wanted to see your face before the end.]

Lennok smiled faintly at Yakseon’s words.

“You will never forget her face Senator. “I’m sure you remember her even if it’s because of Kaise’s memories.”

[I know.]

Yakseon looked up at Lennok and spoke in a full voice.

[But you will forget that she who grew up as Kaise’s blood relative and lived as if she were dead has changed little by little since meeting you.]

“….”

[Memory is a record of time… Forgetting means ultimately losing that time entirely. My time has stopped for a very long time.]

Yakseon smiled at Lennok’s bitter face.

[Well it’s nothing for you to worry about. Just the fact that you made Dominic Cavarro incapable of recovery was enough of a miracle for me in this short life. Wouldn’t it be greed to want more?]

Yak-seon’s face as she said that didn’t seem to have a single trace of regret.

Did she send away countless patients who interacted with her in this way?

In the bondage created by her own foolishness her time never moves and is just tied to the past.

It was started to raise the level of medical science but it just disappears like a bubble as the patient leaves without any experience or memory of every moment.

Therefore Lennok should be wary rather than pity her.

The fact that even geniuses who take steps towards an absurdly distant place can end up collapsing in vain without being able to see what is right in front of them.

The trajectory of an old man’s life was shining in an extremely lonely way.

[This is the last work that the foolish old man created before he forgot all the money he received.]

As Yakseon said that he pushed a long wooden armor in front of Lennok.
