Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 216



Negotiation(2)

“what?”

“I’m letting them know that there’s a traitor. The information Girard has provided so far is sufficient. “If you hand over that fact with Girard attention will be focused on the traitor from over there.”

“….”

“It would be best if the chairman’s anger was directed not at this side but at the traitor within. Even if that’s not the case it doesn’t matter if it can cause internal strife in the cartel. “The important thing is to buy time to increase the size of this business to a level where it is difficult for the cartel to touch.”

Originally he planned to talk to the traitor while hiding the information that there was a traitor inside but as the war entered a lull Lennok’s thoughts also changed.

It wasn’t efficient to be dragged around by the cartel’s will.

It would have been preferable to indirectly control the movement of the organization so that this side would draw its cards first.

“The idea itself is certainly not bad but….”

Jenny said with a puzzled expression.

“Is there any way to make the other side agree to dialogue even after such a senseless war of attrition so far?”

Instead of answering Lennok took something out of his pocket and put it down.

A CEO-level executive who was encountered during Jordan’s kidnapping incident.

It was Virgil O’Reiden’s business card.

Two days later.

Rumors that the wizard in Area 49 had resumed his activities quickly spread throughout the underworld.

“You crazy bastard… It looks like you never get tired.”

“Are you really planning on putting an end to the cartels?”

“It’s really rare for someone to take action first but it won’t end until someone dies.”

It’s not easy to forget the image of a wizard riding a bike and firing shotguns and now there’s no one on this street who doesn’t know the sound of that engine.

The fact that the ambitious prototype prepared by Autoble was enjoying great advertising effect was not even that important.

Meanwhile people who directly witnessed the sites where Lennok destroyed the war were concerned that this war would become even bigger.

In fact there were many people who expected an all-out war to break out in the shadows for the first time in a long time.

“Maybe we could see the CEO level move for the first time in 10 years.”

“If you really want to suppress the situation it’s really not impossible.”

“Is there a boss-level person who isn’t currently wanted?”

“What’s certain is that it’s not Merilda. “I still clearly remember that crazy woman harpooning and shackling a military unit 10 years ago.”

“Now that I think about it it’s all just memories. “I wasn’t this frustrated back then…”

“Are you out of your mind?”

They are outlaws who are accustomed to the fishy smell of blood gunpowder and filth.

As much as there were people who hoped it would pass without incident there were quite a few people who were looking forward to the city becoming bustling again.

However the news that those who wanted conflict expected was not heard.

Area 30. The only thing we heard was that Van visited a small business that was not properly known as a branch of the cartel handed over a business card and then disappeared.

Unexpectedly most people lost interest in the trivial news and only the extraordinary paid attention but no information was leaked.

Only the red-eyed man realized Lennok’s intentions and began preparing to send a reply.

* * *

“Is this really okay to eat?”

“How many times do I have to say it?”

Wei An who was holding a small glass bottle made an indescribable expression at Lennok’s harsh words.

It’s been quite a while since they rescued Zordon who had been kidnapped but Wei An still had a cast on his arm.

Magical stiffness caused by Iola’s magical eye. This is because what was allowed in a situation where sensitivity was paralyzed still left aftereffects.

Zorden seemed to be concerned about this and continued to look after Wei An’s wounds but it seemed like it would take time for him to get better.

Of course Lennok didn’t want to see his power idle so he bought him various potions but it didn’t help.

But everything changed after Lennok started taking herbal medicine.

Due to a great awakening within Lennok the disorganized magic system within him became organized and began to coexist properly.

And Lennok’s newly acquired first-world technology alchemy was no exception.

So far we have simply focused on making medicine for Lennok but if we change our perspective a little we can use it on other people.

What Lennok focuses on is low side effects that do not put a burden on the body and effective effects that appear immediately enough to be used even during battle.

If only we could combine the effects of basic potions while maintaining these two advantages.

The business that was started under Lennok’s name could be expanded even further.

Once I got the idea there was no hesitation.

It’s not that difficult to leave no trace of alchemy and there are plenty of techniques for creating new medicines so just bury it quietly.

The important thing is to pursue overwhelming cost-effectiveness and above-average efficiency compared to other drugs.

There is no need to draw too much attention in the market but if it is enough to threaten existing products it will be of great help to Jenny.

“Drink it quickly. “It’s a potion created by a wizard himself… Don’t you wonder how far his talent has reached?”

Dray who was grinning next to me urged me.

“Why are you doing that experiment on my own body?”

Wei An grumbled with his mouth sticking out but no one listened to him.

Since it was a product recommended by Lennok no one thought that he would not have cared about Wei An’s safety.

“It is an item created with a focus on individual resilience and cell activation. “It is a product that has been diluted twice so it may be a bit more effective but once its effectiveness is roughly proven mass production can begin.”

If you create an algorithm using Dabi and imbue Lennok’s magic power with it and give it to the medicine tool you can create potions even when Lennok is not around.

In effect they are just following what drug lords used to do but the only difference is that they make and sell items such as potions rather than drugs.

“It might be more effective if you inject it directly into the blood vessels but should we try that? “I first made it into a drinkable form considering it would be used during battle but you can also inject it if you just need an ampoule.”

“Oh no… I think it would be better to just try it first and then judge. “If you feel sick you can throw up.”

Wei An muttered that with a shocked expression closed his eyes and poured the entire contents of the vial into his mouth.

Everyone watched as the bright blue liquid contained in the glass bottle flowed down Wei An’s throat.

Even Mad Manson who was usually obsessed with strange things like a crazy person was concentrating on this matter.

“Uhm… surprisingly the taste is… not bad?”

It didn’t take long before Wei An’s face widened as he tasted something tantalizing.

“Oh oh…!! “The arm…!!”

“Arms?”

“It’s so itchy!!”

After saying that Wei An took off the bandage wrapped around his arm and scratched his arm.

“….”

“No my whole body itches so much what happened to this!!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Lennok.

Lennok pointed at Wei An again with an expressionless face.

The first to notice the abnormality was Kidel an executive at the Krimgal office.

“Weian. “How are you… scratching yourself?”

“Huh? Huh?”

Wei An who was already moving his broken arm freely opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“The reason your whole body itches is probably because your skin is rapidly regenerating internally as cell regeneration is activated. In other words…”

Lennok said as he took a step back.

“You’re scraping off dead skin in the middle of our bar.”

“what!!!”

Jenny who was watching the noisy crowd with a sleepy expression jumped up from her seat.

She ran over the bar with a cheerful expression and hit Wei An on the back with the broom in her hand.

“Get out quickly you bastard!!”

Wei An screamed with the most mortified expression in the world.

“No wait!!! “This isn’t my fault!!”

In a way it was natural that the people watching the scene which was no different from a comedy burst into laughter.

Belver quietly came up next to Lennok who was looking at this with satisfaction and said.

“As expected you did not disappoint my expectations. “It was a great effect.”

“No I didn’t really mean to be this funny….”

Lennok scratched his cheek with a shy expression.

“It seems the effect is a bit stronger than I thought. It’s good that the drug’s effects are spread evenly throughout the body but this usually happens at the extremities of the body. “This definitely needs some tweaking.”

It is good that it has a stronger medicinal effect than existing potions by activating cell regeneration but it should only be used for the purpose of treating injuries or improving health.

If Wei An’s skin was rapidly regenerating and shedding dead skin cells there was a high possibility that her fingernails and toenails would also grow rapidly on her hands and feet.

These side effects were usually useless so Lennok might have to take care of them himself and make some adjustments.

“Also even though I diluted it twice I showed symptoms of paralysis immediately after taking it. “With side effects like these it would be difficult to fully use it in an urgent battle.”

Lennok did not miss the fact that Wei An’s limbs became somewhat stiff as he was being pounded on the back by Jenny.

A common side effect that usually occurs when taking highly effective potions. Even Lennok was unable to completely eliminate this during the manufacturing process.

But Belver shook his head after hearing Lennok’s words.

“That’s not what I want to talk about.”

“what?”

“Certainly if you dilute the potion solution you created and put it into Jenny’s business plan you will be able to take control of the underground material distribution network much faster than now. But the real value doesn’t stop there. “I felt endless possibilities in the potion you made.”

What kind of nonsense is this money-crazed bastard talking about?

Belver who did not notice Lennok looking at him with a shocked expression muttered while being absorbed in his own words.

“I definitely saw it. Wei An’s hair was a little longer than usual…!! “I’m sure your potion affects hair growth as well as the extremities of the body!”

“….”

“Let’s get rid of the mercenaries right now and start a hair growth product business together!! “If we have your potion we can rule this world…!!”

Wow!!

Belver who was speaking passionately with eyes that had lost some taste suddenly fell under the bar.

Jenny who was holding a gunny sack behind him looked down at Bellver with cold eyes.

“You go out too.”

“…Sure.”

Belver disappeared out of the bar leaving Belita looking at her twin sister with a disdainful gaze and Dray laughed lightly.

“It’s fun but the performance is definitely not something to be taken lightly. “I never thought Wei An could move his arms so quickly without any side effects…”

“I heard that that kid’s bones were completely shattered. So with just one potion not only did the muscles regenerate but the bones were also restored to their original state?”

Only then did everyone understand the value of what Lennok had created after hearing what Killian said with his tongue outstretched.

Basically potions used to treat injuries have a fairly high production cost are expensive and crucially are prohibited from being consumed multiple times over a short period of time.

If you consume potions frequently not only will you become more resistant to the potion’s effects but you will also be more likely to reject the potion or become addicted to it.

That’s why you need to be careful when using potions and there are people who continually visit those who practice healing techniques to avoid developing resistance.

Although Balkan medical technology was quite advanced along with the development of magic the unit price was so expensive that even freelancers found it difficult to afford it.

If the potion created by Lennok truly has the effect of not only repairing simple injuries but also directly reconnecting bones it will not end simply with the appearance of new competing products in the market.

Lennok feeling the gaze naturally drawn in this direction faintly frowned.

“…It’s difficult to give an accurate assessment because there is still some more adjustment to be done. “Let’s experiment and talk about how much effect remains when diluted.”

This is a potion that uses the alchemy of a drug lord who could not develop resistance no matter how many drugs he poured into him.

Lennok decided not to mention here that he might not be resistant to the potion he made.

We were planning to immediately resolve Wei An’s injury and increase performance based on the prototype but we are in a situation where we have to reduce the side effects even further.

If you are completely changing the performance of a drug adjusting the output to your liking while maintaining the performance is something that requires constant investment of time and testing of quantity and concentration.

While Lennok sighed slightly at the fact that he might have to invest a considerable amount of time Manson was seen deep in thought from afar.

The mass of machinery that was usually flashing all the time has calmed down and even the excited magic power has become quiet.

I don’t know why but it seemed certain that the potion Lennok showed stimulated his inner self.

“….”

Lennok was not stupid enough to dismiss this feeling of déjà vu as just a feeling.

Manson is not a difficult opponent and if there is something that is bothering you it would be better to check it out right away.

As I was about to sneak past the crowd and walk toward Manson Wei An who had been chased away by Jenny reappeared.

“Over there… half?”

An expression so vaguely distorted that it is difficult to describe.

Lennok stopped walking at the look on his face as if he didn’t know what to make in the current situation.

“What’s going on?”

“A customer came to visit… I know him.”

“Let me in.”

“No but….”

Wei An who was leaning out at the edge of the stairs stuck out his tongue without being able to say anything.

“Why are you standing there like such a shitty person? “I wonder if someone came.”

When the bald giant Ike scolded Wei An he stepped back with an expression of helplessness and Bellver who had also been kicked out sneaked into the bar.

Strangely enough Belver’s expression was similar to Wei An’s.

“Is this person really a guest called by Ban?”

“….”

At the same time as Wei An reluctantly opened the way a person came down the stairs of the bar.

He was wearing a suit that looked familiar somewhere. A woman with fierce eyes and neat hair.

Iola the cartel executive who kidnapped Jordan was standing there.

“It’s been a while.”
