Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 215



Negotiation(1)

[Managing Director Abid Johnsen’s vital response has disappeared. The temperature observed at the scene instantly dropped to minus 244 degrees so death appears certain.]

“….”

A heavy voice rang out along with the sound of tapping on heavy wood.

“Why did you do that?”

[…Under the circumstances it appears that about 80% of the execution unit under Executive Director Yonsen was neutralized in an instant creating a confrontation between Ban and Director Yonsen. What happened after that…]

“Hmm.”

I heard the story that Iola and Girard who were high-ranking executives had been mistreated in different ways.

Above all wasn’t Girard an executive belonging to his line?

Considering that no news has been heard yet there is no need to guess what his final fate was.

[It seems like Dyke Corporation is completely ready to fight us.]

Do-do-do-do-do-dok.

I heard something heavy but not dull hitting the armrest.

The gigantic body writhing in the dark is too large and vibrant to be simply human.

“You got the wrong target.”

A worried voice opened its mouth.

“Dike entered the shadowy weapons industry and made a lot of money but its basic business was close to the production of industrial tools. “Did you know that we wouldn’t be able to easily touch the Yangji side infrastructure?”

[However if you ignored their intentions and touched the industrial factory you would have been caught by the agents.]

“yes. That’s why it’s so tricky. “It’s as if this situation was intentionally designed…”

When it comes to the status of a cartel it is not a matter of concern about just one company that is doing well in a sunny area.

However I was very concerned that the wizard in District 49 maintained a close relationship with the agent unlike other freelancers.

There is no harm in rashly touching Yangji’s infrastructure and giving agents a reason to intervene.

In particular if Evelyn Marcia begins to participate in the war because of this incident the damage will become uncontrollable.

The voice’s eyes calmed down.

“You can’t shake hands openly….”

[Are you talking about a handshake?]

“It’s nothing. I’ll take care of it from now on. “You should focus on erasing traces of this operation.”

[However if this matter is covered up in this way there is a possibility that other presidents will come to check…]

“I guess you said you would take care of it?”

[…sorry.]

The man who cut off communication placed his hand on the armrest and placed his forehead.

“It shouldn’t take too long. But how can I come up with a justification….”

The initial plan wasn’t like this.

It went smoothly until he turned the attention of other bosses to the outside world by touching Ban and Jenny wizards who had connections with various powerful people.

While the other CEOs were handling Ban’s resistance against the cartel he should have taken it easy and carried away the slush funds hidden within the company….

The problem was that things grew much faster and more rapidly than expected.

Ban’s method of destroying the cartel was surprisingly meticulous and persistent and the economic losses incurred in the process caused considerable chaos for the cartel both internally and externally.

In addition as Jenny quickly absorbed the names of the partner companies that Ban had destroyed increasing its size and even bringing in Dyke Corporation it became difficult for the company to access slush funds as the company was extensively reorganizing its books.

It was a mistake.

I knew that he had the ability to cause moderate harm to the organization but I never dreamed that he had the insight to shake up such a huge organization on his own.

It was clear that things were going wrong.

While he was in trouble an unfamiliar voice was heard next to him.

“Looks like things aren’t going so easily.”

“….”

“So I said let’s start slowly. “I would have said that among those who got involved with that wizard not many of them turned out well.”

The man silently raised his gaze and looked at the young man giggling next to him.

A bushy beard and tattoos covering his face.

Even though he is making a scraggly sculpture his shiny eyes are impressive.

Words like a groan involuntarily flowed from the man’s mouth.

“If it weren’t for you guys….”

“Oh my it’s embarrassing to say that. “You are the one who accepted our Ten Counts’ offer.”

“….”

“I don’t want to criticize that choice… It’s natural for you as an apostate monk to pursue material desires. “Didn’t they choose us so that they could enjoy luxuries that would be difficult for a cartel boss to enjoy?”

Apostate monk.

The moment he heard those words a powerful magical force from the man’s body pressed down on the young man’s shoulders but the young man did not faint at all and nodded.

“As a result the cartel is on alert because of what you started and they are slowly trying to find out who the instigator was. With the authority of the president I’ve managed to hide it so well… but it’s only a matter of time before the traitor is revealed. yes?”

“…What do you want to say?”

“It is impossible to undo what you have done. However if the root of the problem is quickly eliminated those who want to hold the instigator responsible will also be silenced.”

“….”

“Make a cause. And you kill half of them yourself. Wouldn’t that be enough for people to think of what you did as a momentary aberration and turn a blind eye to it?”

“but….”

As the man spoke as if he was in pain the young man stabbed him.

“Virgil think about why that man messed up about this matter.”

“…!!”

“He must have already realized that there is a traitor inside. It will be waiting for its right time. “You don’t want to give him an excuse do you?”

“No that doesn’t work….”

The man’s eyes sank deeply.

“…That can never be possible.”

The story that Lennok single-handedly overwhelmed the cartel’s execution squad quickly spread everywhere.

The execution unit led by the blood wizard Avid Johnsen was a military unit that truly moved as one body succeeding in establishing unity of physical ability and consciousness using his serum.

It was one of the sharpest blades that mercilessly dealt with those who went against the will of the cartel.

The story that a magician a lightning magician who had stopped working as a freelancer until recently had exterminated such human weapons by himself was so unrealistic.

It wasn’t once or twice that false rumors circulated around this place but everyone could tell by looking at the atmosphere going around.

Is it really a rumor or is it the rumor itself?

Three days have passed since then.

After raiding and destroying Dyke Enterprises’ factory the cartel stopped moving.

Lennok also did not move too hard as he had fought a fierce battle.

Naturally the conflict between the two forces entered a lull.

“…Strangely nothing has happened.”

“Is that so? “We just don’t know if they are operating in secret.”

“It’s not a question of information. “You can tell by looking at the atmosphere on the streets.”

As Dray said that he looked around in silence.

The streets of District 49 which had been quiet for a while were soon crowded with people again.

Not only those exchanging powder in dark alleys but also riders gathering on one side and chain-smoking gangs trading goods wrapped in sacks and merchants laying out mats and bargaining for goods.

It is a scene that Lennok has now become familiar with.

“When the conflict with the cartel continued those who had been hiding like ghosts came back… There is no way something like this would happen without any basis. “Something must have changed over there.”

“Is that the feeling of a former soldier?”

Lennok did not agree with the idea of ​​guessing the situation of the war solely based on the atmosphere of the street but Dray was not the type of person to easily lie.

It wasn’t strange to say that he felt something from his position as he had been patrolling this street and guarding the bar for well over 15 days.

“Rather than a feeling… Among these there are probably low-level members of the cartel and those who are divulging information. There is no sign of much movement for the time being. It is highly likely that they will exchange words like this. “It’s the same way soldiers in the military guess what their routine will be tomorrow.”

“….”

As Lennok looked thoughtful Dray naturally changed the topic.

“Anyway now that I’m out on the street with Ban people’s gaze towards us has definitely changed. “It seems like the wizard’s status is really changing day by day.”

“You probably don’t even know who I’m dealing with?”

Dray laughed at the harsh answer.

“It’s not unreasonable to think that way but… think about it from their perspective. “The current situation is that the cartel is not moving even though there are rumors that the wizard single-handedly killed the execution squad.”

“….”

“A wizard named Van has power and connections comparable to an organization. “Isn’t it natural to think this way?”

When Lennok clearly heard those words and looked around he was able to guess the emotions in the people’s eyes looking at him.

As his reputation grew his gaze changed from indifference to caution but now a faint fear is mixed in.

Wouldn’t that be closer to the feelings toward a monster that cannot be understood rather than the gaze toward a fellow partner?

“If we successfully complete this task the wizard’s position will probably be on a completely different level than before. “You may not feel it right now because you are used to life as a freelancer but anyone who works on this street will understand.”

The fact that a supernova that even the Balkan Triumvirate cannot ignore has begun to take root.

Dray didn’t finish speaking but Lennok vaguely understood what he meant.

He was trying to teach Lennok what it meant for a person’s status to change at this distance.

Only if you know where you stand will you be able to pursue maximum gain with minimum loss at any moment.

He clearly understood the power and meaning of one powerful superhuman.

After finishing the street tour I had started to talk to Dray for a while I mentioned this to Jenny and she nodded.

“It’s a dray-down idea. “You probably experienced something similar in the military.”

“You mean in the military?”

“Until about 20 years ago promotions would often have been determined based on achievements made on the front lines of large cities. There may have been many cases of skipping several ranks to fill the gap at the top. Dray knows how to behave with those around him in the process to survive.”

“….”

These are things you need to be aware of in situations where your status changes.

This is a somewhat unfamiliar perspective for Lennok who used to live his life thinking only about tomorrow.

If we bring Dray and the mercenaries under his command here wouldn’t we be able to get help in this area as well?

Whether intentional or not Dray was consistently appealing his value to Lennok.

In the sense of assistance other than force which Lennok had not thought of at all.

Jenny looked at Lennok’s eyes then rested her chin and let out a small sigh.

“Anyway is the cartel really planning to end the affair like this?… I was honestly prepared for an all-out war that would involve all of their troops.”

“Do you think so?”

“well. “I’m not sure.”

These were words that were difficult to hear from the mouth of a woman who was always clear about what she liked and disliked.

“The head of the cartel is also acquainted with my grandfather… I’m sure he knows what’s going on by now but I don’t know what he’ll think. In fact it will depend on it.”

“Is this Kaise’s story?”

“….”

Jenny was silent for a long moment then turned her gaze towards Lennok.

“I don’t believe that one can escape the circumstances of one’s family in good circumstances.”

“….”

“But it’s also true that I’m not ready right away… Until now I’ve just been lying on my face and praying that past relationships will pass by.”

Jenny’s expression as she said that looked so blurry that it was difficult to say anything.

“Even though decades have passed there are many people who still remember my grandfather’s name. To be honest I like it anyway. But what if that name that didn’t mean much to me is now bothering my partner…”

Her eyes that were looking into the distance come into focus.

I sense that a strong will has been built within her again.

Jenny looked up at Lennok.

“I am prepared.”

“…Determination is not something that is easy to say. Especially in a world like this.”

Lennok took out a cigarette from his arms took a bite and stood up.

I walked down the street for the first time in a long time and felt a little tired.

However it seemed like she clearly knew what she wanted to say.

Lennok should also give an answer there.

When he met Antares he didn’t say anything but Lennok had noticed something from his meeting with him.

Pollutants of undeveloped earth.

Remnants of the Black Consumer Project.

That word itself is one of the biggest secrets buried on this street.

In addition there is a high possibility that Kaise’s death is related to it.

‘We confirmed that the time line when Yakseon remembers Kaise and the time line when the pollutants in the undeveloped region occurred are similar. Probably…’

There was only one Yaksen who witnessed Kaise’s end. And considering that Lennok was the only one who heard the secret the probability that the two incidents are related is very high.

Yakseon handed over the choice to Lennok in return for him dealing with the drug lord.

A secret that Kaise took to her grave. Should I tell Jenny about the inside story or keep it buried?

Lennok has not yet made a decision.

As always I just forced my gaze to focus on what was right in front of me.

“Focus on the cartel’s business.”

“…okay.”

“Jenny Nunn said the end of the work would vary depending on the Chairman’s wishes. But now there is a way to adjust that direction.”
