Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 229



Lingering(3)

Virgil said looking around at his other silent colleagues.

“I will personally tell the class about the president’s condition. Of course the man would never reveal a secret even by mistake… but if you don’t tell us why he is losing his dignity and focusing on ‘research’ you won’t be able to understand why.”

“Damn it… I can’t believe I’m being swayed like this by just one former freelancer.”

Although Merilda grumbled like that she did not deny Virgil’s words.

All three remaining presidents are seniors who have been with Oliveira since he founded the cartel.

Everyone knew why she who boasted of her skills at the peak of her abilities lost her strength and fell and why she went into seclusion focusing only on unknown research.

Isn’t McQueen also aware that the president wouldn’t be able to make a rash move which is why he committed such bold treason?

Cansoa said.

“It is difficult to predict how this distance will change in the future so there is no need to increase the number of enemies unnecessarily. Rather I wish he would help the cartel’s hierarchy with his authority as an outside director…”

“I guess it depends on how we come out of this in the future.”

Virgil answered.

“We collected personal information and public opinion about the man from the deep web so please read it.”

He said that connected the terminal to his cell phone and immediately sent the file to the other three.

While each person received and read the information Virgil sent Virgil continued.

“When he appeared on this street and made contact with Zenith he was already a high-level wizard and even though quite a few people searched for him no trace of him was found. “He is a man who has hidden himself so thoroughly that not only his past but also his current residence is unknown.”

“….”

“Furthermore there are many reviews that the work is done very neatly and the transactions are thorough…. It would be correct to see that it is a disposition to reliably return at least as much as received.”

“It seems like I’m not seeing a wizard but a troubleshooter who has been around for decades.”

“I think everyone knows what it takes to silence the class in this situation.”

Virgil nodded.

“Since we are the people gathered here let’s be honest. “The cartel is sinking little by little.”

“….”

“The chairman’s choice to directly publicize McQueen’s betrayal which would have been revealed at some point even if hidden was wise but it will not be able to prevent the organization from shaking. In order to get through this situation active cooperation between affiliates is necessary. “You know what it means right?”

This means that the presidents who until now have kept each other’s authority in check and pretended not to notice must be more closely united than they are now.

The freedom that each person has enjoyed for decades is now coming to an end.

In order to keep the current position in check by keeping the other triads in check and the competitors coming up from below a tacit agreement was needed from within.

Virgil said so leaning back in his chair and putting his legs up on the desk.

The title of vice president was clearly engraved on the nameplate placed at the end of the spacious old tree.

“The old neglect and division are over. There will be a lot of work to do from now on.”

After two weeks of rest Lennok returned to work leisurely.

Battle with McQueen. To be precise this is because it took a considerable amount of time to shake off the side effects of the various drugs used to forcibly improve the condition during the development of the magnetic field.

Of course his condition was not fully recovered but Lennok never thought lightly of his weak body.

If this guy’s body was rolled violently it would be violent and if it was loose there was enough room for problems to arise.

If you lie down for a long time the ligaments in your back may become stretched.

Don’t let your guard down. No in the first place Lennok had never trusted his own body.

“Are you here?”

Jenny and Jordon greeted him at the bar of the bar which had resumed normal business after the dispute with the cartel.

Even though Jorden went through quite a bit of trouble this time he returned safely and is shaking the shaker like before.

Considering the physiology of this floor this is nothing short of a miracle.

If something had happened to him who had a close bond with Jenny it would have been impossible to resolve the matter in this way.

Lennok sat down at the bar took a drink and looked around quietly.

The bar is crowded with more customers than usual.

The boom is so booming that it feels somewhat unnatural.

“I heard the news that you were inaugurated as an outside director during Kartel’s quarterly earnings announcement.”

Jenny shrugged.

“There are not only a few people who think this business will do well because it has the approval of the Three Heads.”

“So you came here to get your eye stamp in advance?”

“Rather than that… we have proven that our business is self-sustaining making it difficult for even the big guys to touch it so it has become better for freelancers to use it as a meeting place.”

“….”

“Well of course it’s not my analysis as the person involved… but based on the atmosphere of the deep web it’s roughly the same.”

“That’s amazing….”

As Lennok sipped his drink he slowly raised his magic power and overheard the voices around him.

As expected of the guys working on this floor they had a knack for not being able to hear the actual conversation even though they were drinking and making a lot of noise but it didn’t mean much to Lennok.

As Jenny said it seemed clear that the number of people talking about work in secret at bars had increased significantly.

Did the people who originally sat on the street and talked secretly choose the bar as their new meeting place?

Either way it wasn’t a bad thing.

Except that Jorden’s hand shaking the shaker looks particularly busy.

Zordon who made eye contact with Lennok smiled faintly.

“…We might need a new bartender for this.”

“No problem so far. “If you’re in a hurry you can ask for help but… I’m sure at least one of those friends will lend a hand.”

Zordon said that and raised his hand holding the shaker back.

A warehouse behind the bar. The empty lot behind the bar.

Lennok nodded as he looked at Wei An’s face who was competing with someone there.

“It looks like Dray has made his decision too.”

During the fifteen days Lennok was away quite a few things happened and along with that their business also began to expand rapidly.

In the end as soon as this cartel operation was over Dray Crimgall decided to take his members and join Jenny’s business.

It is difficult to provide a satisfactory salary to the newly accepted former special forces soldiers just by receiving it from the Krimgal office.

However in a situation where it was difficult to close the office and work for someone else Dray decided to entrust his manpower to Lennok and Jenny.

Did they think that Lennok’s powerful military power which was comparable to that of the cartel’s CEO and Jenny’s management ability to quickly take control of the underworld material distribution network just after starting the business were enough?

Although Lennok couldn’t hear exactly what Dray was thinking when he took his side he understood his feelings to some extent.

While the war of nerves with the cartel continued Dray often expressed great satisfaction in collaborating with Lennok when he was out on the streets with him.

Under Lennok and Jenny’s company the salaries of the crew which are difficult to cover with the office’s income alone can also be tax reduced in the name of expenses.

“It would be a great help to have a man like him help me with my business.”

“The people Dray brought there are former special forces soldiers and they are very good at their jobs. “There are people with various specialties such as driving or administrative maintenance so there will be no need to recruit new employees for the time being.”

Of course Dray did not just come forward to accept them without any calculation.

Former soldiers who are relatively familiar with the command system and have a strong sense of responsibility for their missions. Additionally they are people who are accustomed to accomplishing more than one task in their respective fields.

They are much easier to trust than personnel recruited from the underworld and if Dray mediates them in the middle it will not be difficult to lead them.

This is to give wings to the business outlook that was evaluated positively even before the dispute with the cartel.

Lennok listened to their story for a while then emptied the rest of his glass and stood up.

“Are you planning to go already?”

“That’s not true… It’s been a while since I’ve been here so I thought it would be worth accepting at least one request.”

“A request?”

There is no reason to focus on freelance work after establishing the company with Jenny’s help.

It may be necessary to maintain a freelance status in order to secure a route to obtain the conservative space-time artifacts that Lennoc separately wants.

Otherwise there would be no reason to go out and seek nomination requests.

But instead of answering Lennok picked up a thick photo book placed next to the bar looked through it and took out a photo from inside.

A wanted badge prepared by brokers for bounty hunters.

Lennok grinned at the two people who looked up at him with puzzled expressions and immediately headed outside.

“After a long time let’s go back to the beginning.”

* * *

The situation is different from the past when criminals had to be found through magic that traced blood traces one by one.

Lastly spread magical energy widely in the area where the bounty criminal disappeared and walk in the direction that touches your senses.

A fight club secretly hidden beneath a shabby bakery.

Lennok who found his two targets in the midst of drinking immediately took out his revolver.

The other person who had blinked at the shadow on his face opened his mouth wide as soon as he saw Lennok’s face.

“Woo wow!!”

bang!

“Fuck!!”

bang!!

The work was over in an instant.

When the two guys with foaming mouths and rolling eyes were lifted up using telekinetic magic the noisy fight club instantly became quiet.

“It’s half….”

“This is my first fucking time seeing this in real life.”

“What business does an outside director of a cartel have to do here? “What have those idiots done?”

Lennok looked around in the middle of the cold club.

Dray Crimgall said that Lennok’s position would change once again after the matter with the cartel was over.

That wasn’t wrong. Among those who were looking at Lennok and talking not a single one came up to him and spoke to him directly.

The people who approached Lennok with scouting offers are no longer visible.

A wizard who went into battle alone with the cartel’s president and won.

This is because everyone is guessing how much it is worth and where the eye level will be.

Now in order to make an offer to recruit Lennok it would not be possible to have an ordinary background.

Now I can clearly see the mixed emotions in people’s gaze.

Jealousy fear wariness admiration… and envy.

While Lennok was lost in thought an old man with a protruding stomach approached him sweating profusely and quietly bowed.

“It looks like the guys hanging out at our club were rude to the wizard. “I will make sure something like this doesn’t happen again so if you can forgive me just this once…”

“….”

As the old man said that he took out a bunch of banknotes from his pocket and held them out to Lennok.

Instead of accepting it Lennok shook his head and sighed.

The old man’s shoulders twitched greatly.

“If you don’t have enough money… Ugh!”

Lennok who passed the two unconscious men floating in the air to the old man said as he took out a candle.

“Those two are being investigated by the police on suspicion of human trafficking of civilians.”

“Yes yes?!”

“Take care of it appropriately and hand it over to the nearby delivery center.”

Lennok walked out of the club without any hesitation and looked up at the sky blankly.

In the past each and every one of these achievements would have been handed over directly to Jenny but now it doesn’t mean much.

That’s not why I came looking for the bounty to begin with.

“I did it just in case… but this alone is helpful in making a judgment.”

The self-talk that came out of Lennok’s mouth was not accidental.

Although he came out with the excuse of going back to the beginning Lennok never once forgot who he was.

However the reason why he moved to chase down the bounty criminal for an unreasonable reason was to find an opportunity to retrieve the junction that Lennok had missed on this street.

Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he rested on a nearby bench.

‘The concept of mental imprinting itself was successful in understanding and using it. but…’

By moving the viewpoint forward to the future turning points that could have existed are considered as the past and the possibility of a parallel world is observed and realized.

Although Lennok himself had obtained a miracle that he was not sure was possible there were a number of problems that had to be solved in order to freely use this weapon.

Considering that it was only possible to meet Lennok’s standards through enormous costs forced doping Geass and a magical core that was accidentally obtained from Trigger.

It would be extremely difficult to use the area properly in a battle with other strong players other than McQueen.

In addition although we pursued different possibilities with anonymity in mind it would be meaningless if we could not omit the process of developing the kaleidoscope in the process of developing the magnetic field.

‘But even in this state there are many ways to refine the image.’

At that time Lennok himself entered the Torburn Magic Tower and learned the unique magic of the Lightning series and won the victory over McQueen with the realm [Eight Rings of Lightning] which was completely drawn from that image.

The reason why Balyeonneuigung was able to exert such power was because it was accompanied by Lennok’s understanding and mastery of the lightning series.

The same applies even if other areas are implemented.

In order to derive sufficient power from a parallel world that exists only as a possibility it was necessary for the branch point and Lennok to be closely connected.

Lennok opened up a new horizon of possibility through his imagery but that meant that it had to be accompanied by a corresponding experience.

Part of that is looking back on the past days here today.

Even if we exclude the observable areas from the realm of possibility how much experience and connection is needed to pioneer new areas?

In order to measure that standard Lennox went out of his way to resume his activities despite his aching body.

Little by little but surely.

Lennok was already beginning to realize what a miracle he had in his hands.
