    Jenny quickly began organizing the group schedule of the cartel’s partner companies which she had deciphered with Lennok’s help.

    I was able to briefly understand everything from where and how businesses made appointments to why they decided to hold meetings.

    In order to save his life Girard revealed to Lennok all the key information involving many of the cartel’s management agents.

    Lennok looked through the related schedules and noticed something and pointed his finger at the monitor.

    “Jenny look at this.”

    “what’s the matter?”

    “The frequency of business title transfers is abnormally high. “This is evidence that business movements are constantly occurring within the cartel.”

    Jenny muttered as if she realized something at Lennok’s words.

    “Does this mean that a factional fight is in full swing between them? Then it is understandable that the cartel has not launched an all-out war so far…”

    “I think it’s probably true. And considering that they first started a fight with us despite clearly knowing that there was a power struggle going on internally there is a possibility that they will try to use what is happening to sort out the ranks within the organization.”

    Lennok said that thought deeply and then spoke.

    “Even though he knew there was no way I wouldn’t recognize this Girard was the first to pass on this information… Why was he the first to let me know about the internal strife in the cartel?”

    Lennok slowly closes his eyes and quickly thinks of the cartel members he has met.

    The words and actions they uttered. The minor nuances felt in the facial expressions and the point of view at the time of kidnapping Zordon.

    Lennok who had stopped thinking looked up and saw the large figure of Virgil wearing sunglasses.

    “Maybe it’s not just a faction fight.”

    “…what?”

    “If it was a power struggle within the organization it would not be surprising if external problems led to internal unity. Nevertheless the fact that chaos is accelerating inside the cartel is proof that there is a traitor within.”

    “….”

    Jenny opened her mouth slightly and looked up at Lennok.

    “And Girard is a force that would have no repercussions for disclosing this information to me… If you look at it he is on the side that betrayed the cartel.”

    Lennok whose thoughts had gone up to that point immediately stood up and said.

    “Find out who the CEO-level executive was most closely connected to Girard. At least it’s likely not Virgil O’Reiden.”

    “…What do you plan to do when you find the CEO-level executive who betrayed you?”

    “I guess it depends on how he comes out. “Based on the current circumstances it must have been the traitor faction that touched us first… I’m starting to get an outline of how things will end.”

    Lennok’s eyes shone coldly.

    “Once we finish cross-checking the information obtained from Girard we will have to destroy the cartel’s business meeting on the 14th.”

    * * *

    After confirming the authenticity of the information given by Girard through cross-verification there was no reason to hesitate.

    From then on Lennok focused on destroying the cartel’s businesses with two or three associates excluding the personnel needed to guard the bar.

    We need to move proactively on this side before we realize that information is leaking out on the other side.

    True to the cartel’s identity as a corporate alliance the scale of the organization itself is immeasurably large.

    Conversely this was possible because there were so many limbs that felt numb even if they were cut off.

    “There hasn’t been much movement over there since Girard.”

    Kwaaaang!!

    Killian who took the form of a wolf over 2 meters tall said as he kicked the mercenary running from behind.

    A mercenary whose stomach was pierced by a horse-like kick died.

    With that Lennok raised his magical power in a lull in the battlefield.

    I’m sorry!!

    Lennok who succeeded in securing the last remaining business owner alive responded by erasing his traces.

    “At that time it was likely that he was acting alone. “It’s no wonder that someone of his caliber becomes cautious after being attacked.”

    “That’s funny. “Are you saying that when you caught him yourself?”

    Killian chuckled showing his molars but Lennok ignored him and continued speaking.

    “Furthermore considering your Dyke company and the Antares mercenary group you probably think it’s difficult to start an all-out war right now… It’s highly likely that you’re particularly concerned about Antares’ movements.”

    There is no need to say what level of stature and skill Antares has on this floor.

    Although he has not yet officially taken Lennok’s side his mercenaries are clearly leaning towards Lennok.

    It wasn’t strange at all if I thought that if I moved hastily I would be caught in the loop by just one Antares.

    Antares’ capabilities as confirmed by Lennok were at a level that was not inferior to that of the cartel’s presidents.

    “So you’re saying there’s a high possibility that you care about the connections you have… This is interesting. Do you usually say things like that casually with your own mouth?”

    “….”

    Wow!!

    After concentrating his magic power and striking Killian’s elongated snout Lennok spoke again.

    “I guess it’s because it’s well known that I’ve been collaborating with agents for a while. “If you think that Evelyn Marcia could get involved in this game it’s understandable that you want to see this side’s bottom line even if it means taking damage.”

    “Hmm I don’t want to see that woman’s face either.”

    It’s not that I don’t understand Killian’s feelings as he mutters incoherently.

    Unlike Antares who has never shown off his skills before Grand Palace Evelyn Marcia has competed against many difficult opponents as an agent.

    Considering her temperament which did not back down from the front even when facing Croken Asilus the cartel like Killian may have been more concerned about the agent’s intervention.

    Lennok stood up after erasing all traces he had left here shaking his hands and turning his back.

    Although this was a measure to catch any potential miscreants there have been no major problems so far.

    “Otherwise administrative processing may be delayed due to focus on hunting down traitors within the cartel. In the worst case they are looking for an opportunity to move someone with talent that exceeds expectations… Then we will have to do a lot more work accordingly.”

    Although he is destroying the cartel’s business right now and causing losses of over billions of cells Lennok has never forgotten that the situation can change at any time.

    A cartel is not an organization that is connected by a single strong bond.

    Strictly speaking it is a corporate alliance. It is also a huge organization made up of powerful affiliates.

    The president is loyal to the chairman and manages large affiliates by grouping them together but the links between each affiliate are thin.

    A few loopholes in the cartel which has grown extremely large and reigns as the triumvirate of the underworld.

    The direction in which the gap could be exploited depended solely on Lennok’s judgment.

    “…I just hate having headaches. “Why is there so much to worry about?”

    Hearing Killian’s tongue-lashing words Lennok also let out a small sigh.

    “That’s right. “I’m dumbfounded too.”

    If we were to wage an all-out war against the cartel with all the forces available here there would be no need to reconsider…

    This is impossible as long as the head of the cartel remains intact.

    A tycoon among tycoons who controlled the shadowy area of ​​a huge city by dividing it into three parts.

    A businessman called an old fox who has been in public for more than several decades.

    Because information has been cut off for so long it is difficult to determine the specific circumstances but the fact that he has been leading this huge organization for over several decades makes it highly likely that he is a huge monster.

    Considering the skills of Virgil a president-level executive the chairman would undoubtedly be even more skilled than him.

    It was dangerous to rush in hastily.

    Taking advantage of the chaos inside the cartel they try to undermine their power as much as possible and at the same time seek to expand their business.

    Meanwhile he identifies the cartel’s traitor enters into negotiations and works to understand the other side’s power through Girard.

    This is the best thing we can do now.

    But I had to stop doing this for the time being.

    “I will be away for about three days. Even if there are any special details I may not be able to reply.”

    Lennok said.

    “I told Jenny and Dray in advance but if something happens I ask for other people.”

    Mad Manson cannot be easily trusted and Dray’s personal power is not very strong.

    Among them the only ones that satisfy Lennok’s trust and reasonable military power are Killian and Wayan.

    Killian shook his head as he returned to human form.

    When he transformed into a wolf he noticed the torn rags but he paid them no mind and put on the clothes of a person who had fallen nearby.

    “I don’t understand. “Having to leave the office at such a sensitive time… does it have anything to do with the rumors going around?”

    Dyke Corporate Agent Antares Mercenary Office.

    In addition there is a rumor that is sticking to Lennok who is attracting more and more attention day by day as he becomes entangled with a cartel belonging to the triumvirate.

    It is said that his shockingly excellent magical abilities and fighting sense are not innate but are talents that were thoroughly trained and dispatched to the great city.

    The current dispute between Lennok and the cartel is actually part of the underworld control behind unidentified forces.

    Lennok burst into laughter at Killian’s sullen expression.

    Unlike other people who are close to him but try to keep the line quite carefully this guy is no different from a bully who has no interest in such things and doesn’t like to protect them.

    That’s probably why I can casually ask Lennok about the rumors.

    “no.”

    Lennok answered.

    “I need to take some medicine.”

    “What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Who would believe that?”

    Lennok did not respond to Killian’s grunting words but slightly raised his head and looked at the sky.

    The moon rising in the evening sky where the sun was just beginning to set looked close to a full moon.

    The time to take the single pill that Yakseon had mentioned was approaching.

    * * *

    Lennok’s house in deep darkness.

    After managing my recently increased assets I realized I could afford to move but unfortunately I don’t have the time.

    I heard that there are a lot of good officetels for sale near the 10th district but I guess I won’t have time until I finish this job right now.

    While thinking about this Lennok looked up at the full moon rising outside the window.

    “Not a werewolf….”

    Isn’t this kind of blue monk more suited to Killian a werewolf than to Rennok?

    However since Yakseon had personally determined the time of taking the drug there was no way to refute it.

    Above all there was a high possibility that she would not even remember that she had given Lennok the medicine anymore.

    Click.

    I slowly opened the rough-looking wooden box that had been hidden and protected with all sorts of barriers and magic.

    Among the twenty rings he picked up one ring lying on the edge and closed it again.

    The aftereffects of the drug last for 3 days.

    Since Yakseon directly diagnosed Lennok’s body and declared it would not be worse than that.

    I still don’t understand what it means to improve your constitution by stimulating the entire nervous system but if you take this pill you will understand it even if you don’t like it.

    Even though I knew that I was standing at a critical crossroads I couldn’t stop my hand from picking up the short ring from stopping.

    Up to this point Lennok had been pondering the question of whether he could trust the medicinal ship.

    “…”

    It’s a complacent idea.

    I felt the poor excuses echoing in my chest overcoming my fears and rising above my mind.

    Wouldn’t it be better as it is now?

    Haven’t you done well like this so far?

    There is no need to rely on other people’s help. You can do it well on your own.

    It’s no longer a good idea to put something dangerous like this into your body with unknown effects…

    Gulp.

    Independently of the echoing monologue Lennok’s hand moves.

    I put the pill in my mouth and swallowed it without chewing it.

    I grabbed the water bottle I had prepared in advance and drank it down.

    I remember the day I took my first elixir.

    I shared the money I earned from defeating pollutants with Mila and managed to save up 100 million cells to buy an elixir called Stemonia at an online auction.

    Didn’t I tremble when I first took the medicine which I now occasionally take to recover my condition and remove toxins from the beginning of the year?

    Even though he has the mental power and reason of a powerful wizard he still repeats the same emotions and fears.

    Because he knows that there is still humanity left inside him he cannot hesitate for long.

    Because I know I have to move before everything I’ve built so far turns into nothing.

    Piing-!!

    Symptoms appeared not long after.

    The moment he felt a sharp pain hit his temple Lennok had already hit his head on the ground.

    Coo!

    “..!!”

    The feeling of a hot electric current running through your entire body regardless of your limbs hands internal organs head or chest.

    The sensation transmitted to limbs that twitch uncontrollably has already gone beyond what can be dismissed as mere stimulation and is turning into intense pain.

    I try to move my legs but my fingers start to flutter and I try to turn my head but my back twists.

    It feels like the feeling of connecting my whole body has been completely disconnected and stuck together arbitrarily.

    Lennok’s powerful reason tries to remember and ruminate on all of his misconnected senses.

    In the stark gap between mind and body he felt a small fox spirit looking down at him with concern.

    “Heh heh….”

    When I try to twist my waist to the left my head naturally nods.

    Lennok gestured to Dabi to be at ease and began to absorb the effects of the medicine with his whole body again.

    The first day went by in an instant.
