Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 218



Negotiation (4)

“….”

“The fact that you who had been living in seclusion came forward in person means that the person who will take care of this matter has been decided?”

Girard was calm and did not feel intimidated even after seeing Virgil’s face.

He already fully understood his situation.

Even what will happen in the future.

“This is so… Isn’t that wizard’s brain really good? “I was just planning to take my time by leaking out a little bit of information but I never thought they would realize that there was a traitor inside the organization and use that to make a deal… If I had known this would happen I wouldn’t have said anything from the beginning.”

“Stop acting foolishly. “You don’t have to make a fuss because you know everything.”

Virgil chuckled.

Red eyes flashed behind the sunglasses.

“Only after dealing with Ban did you realize that you had taken the wrong line and immediately changed routes. “I’m sure your superiors would have predicted that the damage would be much greater than expected and that liability would spread downwards right?”

“….”

“Your prediction was not wrong. The subordinate unit led by Managing Director Abid Lowell was destroyed by the hands of just one man… That man was not just good at fighting. “As a wizard I understand better than anyone else what it means to kill people.”

“…Hahahaha!!”

Girard who was staring at Virgil’s face suddenly burst into laughter.

The dazed expression instantly comes back to life and the eyes are filled with joy.

Girard who had regained his original madness and was laughing so hard that his uvula was visible putting the image he had shown up until now to shame.

Girard looked up at Virgil with sparkling eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Everyone has great hair. “Well I’m good at communicating well but… I’m so scared of this that I’m so scared that I’m going to go somewhere and just talk carelessly.”

“….”

“Well if you know that much there’s only one thing I have to say.”

Girard asked.

“Are you going to save me?”

If you look at it Girard’s life was as if it never existed from the moment he was captured alive by Van.

However in a situation that changes day by day he was able to return to the cartel with his life somehow preserved.

This is because Girard carefully observed the surrounding situation and acted quickly.

“What a fun guy. Even a crazy person like you needs at least one person…”

Virgil laughed.

“By my standards I passed but I need to get a confirmation before that.”

“What assurance?”

“I will fully cooperate in catching the traitor who betrayed the Chairman.”

With those words the red eyes coolly sank and a sharp killing force mercilessly crushed Girard’s essence.

“Conclusive evidence that your immediate superior President 1 McQueen betrayed the cartel and colluded with the Ten Counts… Anyone who managed a partner business in the 40th District remembers this right?”

Even if you don’t want to believe it all the circumstantial evidence so far points to just one person.

He was a founding contributor to the creation of the cartel and the oldest and first president among the four presidents.

An elder among elders who holds the position of vice president representing full authority in the absence of the president and at the same time holds the authority to directly oversee the cartel’s elite military unit.

The man who had served the chairman longer than anyone else and had been loyal to him betrayed the organization and turned his back on it.

You’re causing confusion by touching the wizard class.

While attention was focused on the enemy who had appeared for the first time in a long time internal slush funds were stolen.

He actively tried to put things right by moving Girard and other directors under him.

In the end there was only one person who tried to erase all traces and cover up his mistakes.

“That’s what I meant when I stepped forward to sort things out… I won’t leave McQueen alone.”

Virgil’s eyes glowed eerily through sunglasses.

Girard looked at that and shrugged his shoulders silently.

“It’s not a difficult task. Then could you please take off these restraints? “I feel like my joints are going to rot after being tied up here and there for over a week.”

“….”

“…Virgil?”

“For now these are the acceptance conditions I thought of.”

Virgil said so grabbed Girard’s handcuffs and started walking down the long hallway.

“I’ll have to hear what the Chairman thinks.”

As soon as he heard those words Girard’s expression changed completely.

The steps that had been obediently following Virgil suddenly stopped.

“You mean the president of the association?”

“okay. “The chairman wants to see you in person.”

“Now wait a minute… there was no such story. “Why did I suddenly call the Chairman…”

“A traitor within the organization. “It also determines the instigator’s disposition.”

Virgil responded dragging Girard along without even looking back.

“If McQueen was the instigator wouldn’t it be strange for the Chairman to return from a long trip abroad?”

“I’ll see you later… You don’t even remember my face so why bother looking at me…”

Virgil snorted at the sight of Girard who had risked his life as collateral to come back alive but was filled with faint fear without any trace of his spirit.

“Enough of useless talk let’s go in and talk. “The chairman is waiting.”

Only then did Girard realize what was at the end of this wide and long hallway and started struggling but it was already too late.

A magnificent arch-shaped gate like a castle gate appeared in front of the two.

The door was made of thick stone and had all kinds of metaphysical shapes carved into it.

The aesthetic sense that selected each piece would no longer be deep enough to be understood at the level of a criminal.

A monster that has lived in one sitting for hundreds of years.

An old monster that has reigned over Balkan’s shadow for over several decades in this huge city.

The office of the cartel’s chairman Oliveira Ron Maze was right in front of Girard’s eyes.

There was no need to knock on the door.

Because the moment she recognized their presence Virgil and Ghirard were in her heart.

A golden staircase rises above a tomb of books that have been piled up with dust and have not been opened for decades.

Ghirard made eye contact with the woman sitting on the ornate throne above him and immediately put her head down on the ground.

Wow!!

“Girard Ozette meets the President!!!”

Oliveira ignored those words and turned to Virgil who was standing next to him.

[What is your name?]

He didn’t even open his mouth. It was just the magical power that resonated in accordance with her will and represented her will.

Virgil answered.

“Guirard. This is Girard Ozette. He is one of the management agents of partner companies and the human resources department is said to be considering renewing his contract by including him as a member of the board of directors considering his achievements so far. “Although my skills have already been proven my promotion has been delayed due to my personality of not fitting in well with the organization.”

“….”

Is there anything more heartbreaking than hearing about your performance review directly from your boss?

But Girard’s reason was so paralyzed that he couldn’t even think about such things.

We can tell because he managed to successfully change the nature of his magical power and reached level 6 twisting his innate image and struggling through all kinds of struggles.

What he is facing now is not just a human being.

A superhuman who has already thrown off the shackles of life as a species and truly achieved harmony between the inner and outer world.

Before his eyes was a giant of his time riding on a completely different timeline than others and looking out at a distant landscape.

Oliveira’s eyes slowly moved towards Girard.

A brilliant rainbow-colored brilliance flowed beautifully from within her eyes.

Girard could do nothing but stare blankly into the brilliance.

[….]

don’t ask anything don’t hear anything

She simply ‘looks into’ everything Girard experienced with her own eyes.

Virgil who was watching the scene from the side slowly turned his head.

‘The magical eye of the Seven Treasures… It gives me goosebumps every time I look at it.’

Seven types of brilliance in your gaze. It is nothing short of the sum total of the techniques that Oliveira Ron Maze has accumulated throughout her life.

For those who do not have a similar level of magic resistance to her it would not be surprising if their heads exploded from the amount of information they could not handle the moment they met her gaze.

Rather the fact that Girard did not lose his mind even after making eye contact with her is proof of that level.

But even Girard who was twisted with death inside could not look into those eyes for long.

“Ahhhh…!!”

Wow!!

Oliveira who saw Girard lying down with foam in his mouth smiled and slowly looked away.

[I remembered. That child is one of the specimens I personally tested on.]

“….”

[Perhaps decades ago they caught an interesting test subject and made similar adjustments to other children… Was it a way of forcibly giving them Geass to awaken their temperament?]

Virgil didn’t answer.

There was no need to remind her of another specimen called Iola in her blurred memory.

[Well I guess it’s okay. Seeing as I can’t remember it probably wasn’t that important… so stand up.]

“Huh huh…!!”

Girard stood up holding his trembling legs his face drenched in sweat.

He couldn’t even think to look up at her properly anymore.

[When I looked into your memories I saw a rather unusual wizard in that bug-like life.]

Virgil wasn’t that surprised by the sudden declaration.

It’s strange that a magician of Oliveira’s caliber doesn’t recognize his talent.

I guess the reason I called Girard here in the first place was because I wanted to hear something straight from his mouth.

[Wizard of Area 49. Tell me everything you saw and felt about the man named Ban. Instead of looking into your memories I want to hear it directly from your mouth.]

* * *

-We have obtained the personal information about 1st President Farden McQueen that you requested.

Evelin’s declaration in an indifferent voice was heard over the phone.

-It is too risky for confidentiality reasons to hand over the personal information of all CEO-level executives. If it weren’t for Hina’s help it would have been difficult to get information about the first president.

Lennok who was tilting his head slightly putting his cell phone on his shoulder and playing with his hand nodded.

“great job. “It will probably be of great help in resolving this matter.”

The City Central Library built in a busy Balkan city.

In the hallway of the library which was now completely used as a place for Lennok and Aris to do university work Lennok was quickly thumbing through the answer sheet in his hand.

The midterm exam for the Department of Elements that took place this semester. It was impossible for assistant professors like Lennok to be absent from such a large event in which all students of the university participated.

Thanks to this Lennok was spending time grading the hundreds of test papers that Aris had brought with her.

Although the discussion about the area was unintentionally interrupted it was not a bad thing for Lennok.

Regardless of what accomplishments Lennok himself achieved it seemed like Aris needed time to think for herself not advice.

In the end no matter how much help and guidance you provide you have no choice but to take the decisive step alone.

Because he was the same wizard and had passed through the same scenery Lennok knew it even better.

I can’t thank Yakseon enough.

The opportunity Lenno gained by exploiting the side effects of the drug reorganized the possibilities for his choices.

-After today it will probably be difficult to contact you for a while.

“It looks like the agent is very busy too.”

-Recently the scope of work assigned to this area has been rapidly expanding. I try to avoid things that go too far but it is also true that trends outside of large cities are unusual.

“….”

-Van I don’t know if you’re interested in what’s going on outside the city but we’d better get this thing over with the cartel over with as quickly as possible. If the Balkan City Council wants to turn its attention to the outside world it will first want to sort out internal problems.

“Well… it’s easier said than done. “There are certain things to do but…”

Lennok sighed and began annotating the test paper with the red pen he was holding in his hand.

Before I knew it the answer sheet that Aris had given me to look at together was behind me.

While more than five lines of grading grounds and explanations were added to the bottom of the test paper Evelyn spoke in an exasperated voice.

-I hear rumors that you single-handedly wiped out the cartel’s execution squad but you seem strangely humble.

“I was lucky.”

-…Avid Johnsen the head and managing director of the execution unit is a well-known wizard among the pleasure killers of the underworld. It’s not enough to call a magician of that caliber to the battlefield and mix hands one-on-one but then kill him on the spot and that’s all he says… I wonder what the magicians I know will make when they hear it.

“….”

-Well okay. The fact that the little wizard I saved that day was actually the heir to arcane magic that had hidden powers probably isn’t that important. Don’t forget that the important thing is to get the job done with the cartel well.

Lennok looked down at the hung phone and laughed saying “I sent a few boxes of vegetables to the bar so don’t forget to pick them up.”

I wondered why I hadn’t heard about those awful vegetables but it seems I was saving it until the end.

However the meaning of the conversation I just had with Evelyn is worth keeping in my memory.

Evelyn is one of the few people who remembers Lennok’s appearance when he was almost killed by Kroken at the factory and his current status.

It would not be strange at all for a noble archer like her to have a rough idea of ​​what level Lennok has reached now.

Nevertheless instead of talking about Lennok’s skills you hang up the phone talking about vegetables…

‘I think I’ll need to have a separate conversation with Evelyn sometime.’

Even trivial words that were passed in passing are not easily forgotten in Lennok’s mind.

At the moment when she was discussing the future with Grisha in the Dominion she decided to join the Lighthouse. Among the several people she gave as examples I remember that there was a particularly memorable title.

Archer of Green Jewel.

If the helper Grisha was talking about was the person Lennok was thinking of…

In the worst case Evan and Van’s identities may have to be shared with just one person.

Lennok also had to prepare before that situation came at an unexpected moment.
