Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 23



“Did you go?”

“is it so.”

Unlike before Panoa quietly looked down through the glass window at Lennok leaving the 10th Division area on foot.

On the outside it looks like he has never hit a single person but the records on the deep web and countless testimonies do not lie.

The amount of information Panoa collected to prepare a card that was more reliable than anyone else was enormous.

Lightning wizard class. Although he is a beginner and has completed less than 10 requests so far his skills are undoubtedly genuine.

A judgment I felt on paper. And the confidence I felt when I met him face to face.

Although one of the two often goes astray both never go astray.

It was a talent that needed to be captured.

“But does it have to be that guy? “It’s not like we don’t have wizards.”

As Killian said it’s not like there aren’t any useful wizards on Dyke’s side.

In the past talented magicians who used to live in seclusion in the Magic Tower have recently been joining various organizations one by one to fulfill their own desires.

Dyke is one of several companies that have benefited from this trend.

However if you were to ask whether Panoa had the skills you wanted that was definitely not the case.

“You Killian. “Can you hold out against Kroken Asilus even for just a moment?”

“……It’s not an easy task.”

Ignoring the pointless bravado Panoa continued.

“That wizard did it on his first request. And that’s with only one useful vanguard.”

“…….”

“In the first place it makes no sense for a wizard to be working alone. It’s strange that no other company has touched it until now. It will be the most cost-effective card among the freelancers we can control. “I’m sure.”

Panoa said while taking out a cigarette from his arms.

Originally no matter how much Dyke wanted to expand its business it would never have touched the 40th district.

This is a place where the power structure is more complex than you can imagine and those who cannot be easily dealt with are in control of such profitable relationships.

There are many people who fearlessly delve into the market but fail to make a profit.

However the reason Panoa decided to plan a new 40th district this time was because of the agreement with the Philenom Autonomous Territory that took place just two days ago.

In the end one day the Balkans will definitely prepare for war. Accordingly the weapons industry reached its heyday.

In preparation for that we need to increase production in advance but we need new customers to handle the increased weapons production.

Moreover the timing is almost perfect as the pressure on the city government which has its eyes focused on the agreement with the autonomous territory will be relatively reduced.

“If we move well we can monopolize the flow of military supplies in one go. It is not impossible to go further ‘inside’.”

The world is changing.

You must respond carefully assessing the flow around you and your own abilities.

However someone who moves boldly may be able to achieve more than his means.

Panoa laughed sharply.

“Enough chatting. Let them in slowly.”

“Who?”

“…I would have told you to bring in the next candidate.”

“Oh is that what you meant by securing a resume? “I just picked up what I received in the mail and brought it with me.”

“……..”

When Panoa saw Killian’s face scratching his head with a confused expression a sigh naturally flowed from Panoa’s mouth.

Was it a mistake to ask for cooperation on this project after hearing rumors that you had good persimmons?

Werewolf was definitely not a suitable partner for office work.

Lennok briefly summarized the conversations that took place during the meeting with Panoa and told them to Jenny.

Since we exchanged requests through her anyway it was difficult to avoid cooperation in this matter as well.

“It’s big.”

Jenny who heard the whole story drew a simple conclusion.

“Both risks and benefits are equally large.”

“……..”

“I know roughly how much Enakpil’s five fingers are worth. They say it’s one of those consumable artifacts that high-ranking political figures can’t afford. And if you offer such an item in return the risk you are being asked to take will of course be considerable.”

Jordan who was quietly listening to the story next to him said.

“I can guess why Dyke took a group aside to talk about it.”

“What is it?”

“Isn’t this a determination to minimize the animosity that will be created by this request? If we find out that this side is directly related things will get complicated. What I’m saying is that we’re going to set up the board by creating only the minimum number of variables. At least Dyke seems sincere.”

“A deal was proposed through the deep web but would it have been rejected? I never had any doubts about that from the beginning. “This is what’s important.”

Jenny said that and looked at Lennok with a serious expression.

“If you accept this request it will be difficult to get your hands off the floor here.”

“……..”

“Until now if you have been working with an organization or a certain plan what Dyke wants is to ultimately create a situation where you can profit by defeating someone. “It’s inevitable that resentment will arise.”

“…I guess so.”

The content is different from the requests I have done so far.

Jenny was regurgitating the fact in a euphemistic way.

Lennok understood.

Most of the requests he has performed so far have either been simple in purpose or have not had a significant impact regardless of whether they are sunny or shadowy.

Even if he got caught up in a big incident the wildfire never spread big enough to cause damage to Lennok.

But this time is different.

What Dyke is trying to deal with is a drug dealer in the 40th district and this undoubtedly accounts for a significant portion of the complex profit structure of the outer district.

If anyone puts your money in your hands you can’t help but get angry.

Rather than simply completing the request and receiving the reward as is the case now there was a clear possibility that additional retaliation would occur or that we would become embroiled in a deeper power struggle.

“Are you ready to take risks to get what you want?”

“……preparation?”

Maybe she’s saying this because she’s worried about him. Lennok knows it too.

The person Jenny thinks of as Van is just a wizard in training who came down from a remote area.

But Lennok couldn’t stop his laughter from leaking out at her words.

How did he have time to prepare in this place?

The environment surrounding him has always been harsh and Lennok has always made his own choices to move forward.

From the moment I pulled the trigger toward the supervisor’s forehead I decided not to stop.

Even if I have to bear the contradiction of risking death in order to live.

“Once you start running you have to see it through to the end.”

“…..half?”

“Tell them I will accept the request.”

The encounter with the Ascended greatly changed Lennok’s thoughts whether willingly or unintentionally.

It is far from possible for Lennok to achieve what he wants simply by prioritizing safety and reducing risks.

A precious artifact and rare elixir. Because they are not things you can get simply because you have a lot of money.

In the end one day you had to move up and Lennok just needed that opportunity.

I want higher reputation and qualifications.

Increasing resentment decreasing time and approaching danger.

The time given to him was too short to give meaning to and be afraid of all of them.

Let’s not think about it too hard. If the stakes are greater than the risks take the plunge.

That was the only thing worth worrying about on this street.

Did he read something in Lennok’s expression?

The two said nothing more.

As soon as Lennok announced his intention to accept the job work progressed quickly.

Panoa sent information about the first target to Lennok as if he had been waiting for it.

Entering the office Jenny gave a briefing and Lennok quietly took a bite of a tobacco plant.

“Dike’s first target is Paul Ackerman a drug dealer who operates mainly in District 48.”

The photo immediately appears on the screen prepared in advance.

A middle-aged man with thick red hair full of freckles and a beard.

“We started our activities two years ago and quickly established a sales channel and our business grew rapidly. There has been a lot of talk about the capital of unknown origin but there are rumors that it is one of Juice Master’s limbs. “If that’s true you should be careful.”

Drug lord Dominic Cavarro. Commonly known as ‘Juice Master’.

He is the head of a very large cartel that directly leads the drug trade between cities and even sells drugs to the National Guard.

Recently his name was mentioned in the Pandemonium and speculation abounded as to whether he had entered into pandemonium with the cartel he was running himself.

“Maybe that’s why the personal escort that Paul Ackerman has is of a high standard. It looks like they are using the war mercenaries who were hanging out on the floor over there as escorts. His name is Jude Russell. “He is quite a well-known talent among mercenaries.”

The face of a very young-looking black man comes to mind next to the screen. Sharp yet rough impression. He looked quite decent and had a large sword strapped to his back.

“According to information provided by Dyke Paul Ackerman is planning a meeting with distributors at the port side of District 48 in three days.”

“Is this information trustworthy?”

“After cross-checking here I heard that access to a certain port is blocked so I’m sure it’s not wrong.”

“hmm…..”

Lennok silently looked at the request summary sent from Dyke and then opened his mouth.

“I wonder why they want to kill drug dealers when they want the weapons industry?”

“It appears that the money earned from selling drugs is being used to continuously invest in illegal weapons trade. They say he’s one of the biggest investors there. It seems like they are going to start by first cutting out corners where money can be made. “Not a bad plan.”

“What about the others?”

“There are a total of five people participating in this project. He probably set this up by picking people who had similar evaluations to you. I told you the appointment time and place. “That will be the time when everyone comes together.”

I understand. When working on a project like this you won’t be able to succeed with just Lennok.

They will probably try to change the situation at once by hiring additional people who are in a similar situation or treatment to Lennok.

“The most important goal is Paul Ackerman himself. They notified me that if I kill Jude Russell I will be paid extra. An advance payment of 20 million cells and a success fee of 20 million won. “They said they would pay an additional 10 million cells to the team member who killed Jude Russell.”

“Why are you asking me to kill Russell?”

In any case if you want to kill Paul Ackerman you will have to clash with him but what is the purpose of singling him out and asking him to be eliminated?

Jenny didn’t seem to know that much either so she just shrugged her shoulders.

“Anyway this is the end of the information provided by Dyke. To be honest the quality of the information provided is not that good perhaps because it is a company that grew while selling industrial equipment. “This is definitely different from Balitz.”

This is certainly true considering that Balitz presented detailed scenarios and ordered work even when the client was not specified.

But Lennok nodded as if this was enough and stood up.

In any case due to Lennok’s lack of mobility the tactics that can be used are fixed.

It might be better to draw up the overall picture but it would have been much better for Lennok to decide on a detailed strategy and then start the operation.

“Are you going?”

“It’s only three days so we have to start preparing little by little from now on. “Especially if the opponent is a war mercenary it won’t be easy to see them.”

Of course a ridiculous monster like Kroken won’t pop out but even if it’s at the level of Dylan it’s enough of a threat to Lennok.

So far I have been careful not to put any strain on my body by thoroughly calculating the expected risks but it seemed necessary to pack a little more equipment than usual.

“okay. “If it were you you could probably take care of it on your own.”

Jenny grinned as she picked up the candle and lit it.

“See you alive wizard.”

“Sounds obvious.”

Lennok left the bar immediately.

I had to hurry to purchase the items I had thought about in advance.
