Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 223
by Jessie@AFNCC
Apostate monk (1)
The other presidents also looked uncomfortable at those words but there was no one present who was foolish enough to throw up at those words.
Because they didn’t know who their master wanted.
A wizard who single-handedly slaughtered the cartel’s execution squad and killed its leader Avid Johnsen.
Even though he collected the blood of his subordinates and spread the magnetic realm with all his might his overwhelming ability that he could not even see half of the realm was undoubtedly a level higher than that of a military wizard.
This huge organization. There is nothing short of an inch to rise to the top of the triumvirate.
Oliveira Ron Maze had been waiting for this day since the moment she became aware of Ban’s existence.
“….”
However rather than being overwhelmed by the spirit Lennok calmly looked back on the situation.
It is not that difficult to reject every offer Oliveira throws here.
However when she convened the general meeting her words and actions and her conversation with Myeong… did it really happen because she coveted Ban?
So didn’t it seem like the people were valuing Lennok more highly?
Only after the questions reached that point was Lennoc able to come to a conclusion.
Maybe what Oliveira Ron Mays really wants isn’t to hand over the reins to Lennok but –
A calm voice flowed from Lennok’s mouth.
“It looks like you want to hire someone else’s help in dealing with McQueen.”
The atmosphere in the audience was cold.
“Are you concerned that the power of the cartel is decreasing due to mutual destruction among the leadership? In the end the actions you have shown so far only feel that way.”
“Wizard.”
Kansoa said with a bright smile.
“It would be good for your personal reputation to be careful with what you say.”
Lennok glanced back at her but continued speaking regardless.
“great. Let’s do that. “But the reward is not the position of head of the cartel but I will choose it myself.”
[….]
“Because there wouldn’t be much value in a position that you accept as a favor to others.”
Oliveira who was looking down at him said.

[You are truly arrogant.]
“….”
[But you get to the point so precisely that it makes me feel bad… I like it.]
That’s right. The opponent is a giant whose hierarchy is difficult to guess.
However Lennok is not continuing these equal negotiations without any basis.
Cooperation between Antares and Agent. The appearance and protection of people. Crucially even the appearance of Oliveira who has never revealed her true self until now.
Combining what has happened so far there is only one conclusion that can be drawn.
Oliveira Ron Maze is in a position where he cannot move directly and Myeong and other monsters are aware of it.
Therefore rather than dealing with the traitor through the same president she tried to handle the problem by borrowing the power of Lennok who had been fighting tirelessly with the cartel so far.
Even if it means handing over the superficial position of president to the enemy.
Even though she clearly knew that Lennok had seen through her intentions she smiled leisurely.
[So much time has passed. I never thought my internal affairs would be revealed to such a young wizard.]
“Chairman….”
Merilda called her in a low voice but nothing changed from now on.
In the end after going around so far the cartel’s traitor and adversary came to a conclusion about what had happened so far.
And at the moment when everything was decided McQueen who had remained silent until now without saying a single word opened his mouth.
“Can I ask one more thing?”
[Ask me.]
“If a problem arises during the handover process who will be responsible?”
[Same.]
She looked up at McQueen’s face whose expression was unknown and nodded slowly.
[At that time we will assume that the class did not accept the position of president and leave it at that.]
“…I understand then.”
It didn’t take long for a tell-tale smile to spread across McQueen’s lips.

It didn’t take long for word to spread through the streets that the cartel and the Wizard of Precinct 49 had struck a dramatic deal.
People remembered Van’s persistent actions of destroying businesses as if they were possessed by a ghost and were curious about the process.
After hearing the rumor that the chairman of the cartel had given him a scouting offer everyone agreed.
A place where talented and capable people can join hands even with enemies they were fighting to the death.
It wasn’t something that couldn’t be understood in a street full of freelancers who left behind blood and resentment and ran after only profit and money.
It doesn’t stop there and it is even said that the wizard in District 49 has risen to level 6 military wizard.
Considering the value of a completed military wizard it was not understandable for the cartel to turn a blind eye to the loss to the organization.
Information was widely spread that Ban’s position would probably be decided in the next quarter’s earnings announcement.
As the story of the cartel’s compromise with Van spread Jenny’s business took off.
This is a business that was controlled by scavengers with the tacit consent of the Three Heads.
It didn’t take long for the business which was built on Kaise’s connections unique resourcefulness and the investment of traders traveling between cities to quickly take over.
The thing that drove the wedge was a potion dilution solution created by Lennok himself.

When Lennok’s potion which corrected the side effect of rapid growth of the extremities was incorporated into the distribution industry and sold on its own the two businesses began to rapidly increase in size as a synergy occurred.
Rumors about the potion’s effectiveness spread so quickly that inquiries came in from the sun faster than rumors spread from the shadows.
Conversely it was good news because capitalists who had begun investing in the business were also showing interest in selling potions.
A lot of things have changed in the past week.
The graph that appeared on the monitor was constantly pointing towards the ceiling.
However the inside story of the day the general meeting was held is not over yet.
Jenny also had an idea of what Lennok had left for the last time.
“….”
Lennok chuckled when he saw Jenny’s expression.
“It doesn’t change that this is the neatest.”
I never thought things would end easily.
Although we have been running at breakneck speed since the day we returned from the Dominion shouldn’t it be in Lennok’s hands to finally reach a conclusion?
Even if there was no chance due to the help of the medicine ship Lennok guessed that such a moment would come someday and was preparing for it.
Considering the difference in status between McQueen and Lennok at this distance it was bound to end in some way.
All Lennok did was drastically shorten the countless hardships he had to endure up to that moment.
Rescue Zordon summon Virgil destroy the cartel’s partner business and capture Ghirard alive.
Only after catching and killing the execution squad and Abid and thoroughly reversing all checks and retribution coming from Lennok.
It was finally possible to directly bring down the big man sitting in the skyscraper of the president’s office.
I had no intention of making a mistake until the end.
“Oh right. “I forgot to tell you this.”
Jenny frowned as she checked the item Lennok had taken out of her arms.
“…what’s this? “It looks strange to receive as a gift.”
“Originally I was planning to hang it up before going to the general meeting… but it was done. “It looks like it’s getting better now.”
Counter next to the bar. As Lennok who had hung it up in a visible area grinned Jenny sighed and shook her head.
“Well since you’re giving it to me I won’t stop you… but if our store’s sales drop because of that you’ll have to take responsibility.”
“We’ll think about that after we reopen the bar. “Maybe after today we’ll be able to open the bar again.”
Lennok smiled and turned around.
Jenny watched him in silence as he walked up the stairs adjusting his coat without saying a word.
In the end this was a series of difficulties that could not have been resolved without Lennok’s power from beginning to end.
She thought she did the best she could by focusing on business management and expansion in the direction Lennoch had created but what would she do if one day her presence was no longer helpful to Lennok?
Since choosing him as my partner I have never regretted it… but Jenny herself hasn’t changed much since then.
After I get the wealth and wealth that this city has built up will I be able to return to Lennok’s equal views?
Jenny looked at the things Lennok had left behind and burst into laughter.
“Well… there’s still a lot of time.”
There is no need to think too hastily.
Doing what is needed at the moment of need.
Isn’t Jenny also running so hard for that just like Van always did?
When she heard the loud vibrating sound of her cell phone she began to focus on work again.
A meeting with investors is scheduled today.
The atmosphere didn’t seem to be bad as there was unexpected good news from the potion created by Lennok.

Hwiiiiing!!!
A skyscraper rising high into the sky.
This place where sharp and dry winds blow is an empty area between the outskirts of the Balkans and the undeveloped area.
These buildings were completed in an era when megacities were expanding in all directions due to endless expansion but were abandoned after losing all geographical advantages due to a massive reduction in development plans.
Most abandoned buildings are often used as hideouts for vagrants or gangsters but this building was still neatly maintained.
I passed through a cold lobby that had no human warmth at all and took the elevator.
I entered the number I had received in advance and pressed the button heading to the rooftop and the elevator soared upward in an instant.
Beyond the glass window beyond the wall.
There is a clear view of the undeveloped area.
A scenic view of the desert. The magnetic storm that remains vivid in Lennok’s memory stands out.
Height that exceeds a certain standard becomes a powerful force in itself.
Therefore the cartel has continuously invested money to maintain this one building.
If all goes well this could become a huge observatory encompassing the center of the undeveloped area.
But even excluding that utility the scenery in front of you is valuable in itself.
This landscape which clearly captures all the moments where success and failure intersect in the huge city of Balkan is nothing short of the true face of the Balkan where Lennok has lived all this time.
“….”
As the appointment approaches miscellaneous thoughts fill my head.
Lennok leaned his back against the elevator wall grinned and closed his eyes.
In an instant my dizzy mind clears up and my mind becomes calm.
Memories from the past pass by quickly in the infinite silence inside.
The moment I first awakened to magic. The battle with Eden when lightning can be dealt with. The point at which I realized the change in nature.
A battle with Craig who realized the existence of the realm and implemented it. A view that was finally reached after crossing countless frontiers.
Others might say that the pace was ridiculously abnormal but the trajectory of Lennok’s life was that intense and dense.
How much effort and investment did it take to get to this point even though you had to bear the penalty of death if you made even one mistake.
Nothing changes.
Still Lennok cannot afford even a single failure and as much death as he has brought to others Lennok will be hovering nearby.
I am looking for answers among endless questions.
The person who would give Lennok’s seventh answer was waiting for him at the top of that skyscraper.
Clap!!
The elevator door opens revealing a narrow hallway.
A pure white light shining faintly at the end of the hallway.
Lennok stretched out his hand in his arms as he walked toward the light beyond.
Take out a piece of tobacco as thick as your finger bite into it and light it.
Sixth prototype. Recently I haven’t put much effort into making the potion diluent but this is a special dish I prepared for this day.
As soon as I lit the fire and took a deep sip the back of my head started pounding and my heart started pounding.
A feeling of hair standing on end all over the body. Slowly he moves his fingers and takes out different items one after another from his arms.
I swallowed a pill of Stemonia an elixir that is effective in reducing the harmful effects of medicine and then drank a magic power enhancer and a recovery potion.
I took out the ampoule from my coat pocket unwrapped it immediately replaced the bottle and injected it into my shoulder.
Push!
“Ugh….”
All kinds of medicine bottles and syringes fell jingling at the back of the hallway that Lennok passed.
I feel as if the blood in my whole body is rushing backwards and I can feel the tips of my fingers becoming sensitive.
The feeling of a fire rising from within fills my whole body and blooms fiercely.
The magical energy was rotating violently throughout my body burning as if I was going to rush out at any moment.
After taking a final gulp of the potion solution he had created himself Lennok threw the empty bottle behind his shoulder and immediately stretched out across the hallway.
As soon as I stepped through it the sky opened up in all directions and a bright blue sky appeared.
A high-rise building over 800m high.
The view from the top makes you hold the entire landscape of the undeveloped area in one hand.
The end of the rooftop where there are no special safety devices.
A bronze-skinned giant was looking down at the scenery with an indifferent face.
Tattoos and colorful accessories all over the body. Even the long sword and old sword in his hand.
Parden McQueen the first president of the cartel.
The two people needed for the ‘handover’ of the president’s work finally met face to face in one place.
Lennok chuckled as he lightly activated his magic power and instantly scanned a radius of several kilometers.
“This is a bit surprising.”
Smoke flowed out of his mouth after biting down on a thick piece of tobacco.
“Of course I thought you would bring your subordinates but it looks like you came all the way here alone.”
Considering the movements McQueen has shown so far it was unlikely that he would move alone.
Basically the type that does not prefer to use their own hands.
As a strong man who has reigned as the head of a cartel for over several decades he is skilled at exercising his influence by manipulating nameless limbs under him.
This time too I thought they had called us to such a remote place with the intention of besieging Lennok in the name of handover.
Surprisingly there was not even a sign of life in this area.
It was as if someone had decided to vacate the area.
Lennok who thought about it that far figured out the correct answer.
“…Was there any check from other presidents? It’s no wonder Virgil cut your authority significantly. “After all he is just a traitor who betrayed the organization.”
“It’s not surprising. I thought that his personality would be like this from the beginning. “You probably wanted to stop me from doing tricks.”
Only then did McQueen turn to Lennok and stare at him with heavy gaze.
“Just being thankful for the last chance I was given is enough. I can’t always repay the chairman’s kindness. “It is my vice.”
“Is that something that would come out of the mouth of someone who betrayed the chairman and tried to embezzle the company’s slush funds?”
Lennok admired McQueen’s impeccable spirit but McQueen did not even raise an eyebrow despite his harsh provocation.
He slowly stood up and looked down at Lennok.
The pressure exerted by the nearly 2m tall bronze-skinned giant was truly on a different level.
It is the body of a practitioner who has not simply trained his body and grown in size but has endured asceticism for his beliefs.
Even though it is now said to be in ruins with a rusty wrinkled and creaky body its skills are still intact.
The two magicians simultaneously and extremely secretly began to increase their own power.
