Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 25



“I knew it would be like this.”

Killian who was watching everything happening on the other side of the screen clicked his tongue and said.

“This is why I said that if you only select people based on their experience trouble will arise.”

“…..It was expected.”

Panoa tried to answer with a calm expression.

“A traitor appears?

“…….”

She pursed her lips.

“You have to have a filter to sort out the rough stones from people whose identity is not clear. What are you doing if you’re just a talented speaker? “If you put it directly into operation it’s just full of kids.”

Panoa turned his head in annoyance at Killian’s harsh criticism.

“If we had said we would do a test do you think we would have been able to select team members with the same quality as we have now? To appease the empty-headed people the compensation should have been raised more than it is now. “Are you saying that even though you clearly know our situation?”

Although the development of this operation ended up clearly revealing our incompetence it does not mean that Panoa has nothing to say.

Contrary to what she confidently said to Lennok she also had quite a few challenges to overcome within the company.

But it was impossible to make such excuses in front of Lennok.

Killian who clearly knew this calmly dismissed all the excuses.

“So it ended up like this.”

Although this is a consequential statement the problem is that it is not wrong.

Without Lennok it would not have been surprising if Dyke’s plan which had cost a huge amount of money would have come to naught.

Panoa never expected that one of the freelancers would betray him from the beginning.

“…I thought too lightly of the 40th district. “I thought it would be okay if I gathered together the guys who haven’t had any trouble so far… but I never thought they would turn their backs on me so easily.”

“I’m working with criminals without a criminal record. “You have to be prepared to take some risk.”

As Killian said that he pointed beyond the screen with his chin.

Lennoc was seen smoking a cigarette sitting on the now-disrupted dockside.

“So what are you going to do? That guy is real. “If you want your plan to succeed you will have to hold on to it at all costs.”

Even to Killian who has no interest in Lennok his skills are a complete gem in themselves.

Because he dealt with various attributes it was not easy to guess what unique magic system he was dealing with but what caught his eye was Lennok’s fighting sense itself rather than the magic he used.

The courage to not be intimidated at all even in the face of a powerful and cruel enemy.

To overcome a situation you are bold enough to take on even a little damage.

Judgment to use geographical features appropriately and the ability to use magic so accurately that it gives you goosebumps.

Against superhumans with superior physical abilities he was completely different from the wizards Killian knew sparing the use of magic until the last minute turning the game over in an instant and securing victory.

At the same time I intuit it.

It is a talent that is completely different from simply being good at using techniques.

The way he suppressed fear and pain with his strong reason and caught off guard with his sharp judgment was close to that of a born fighter.

Killian knew well how to treat people with such talent.

No matter what happened later I needed to treat him well for now.

“Since things have ended in such a weird way I think we should call him in and take care of things. “If you want to work with that guy for a long time.”

“…I have no choice but to take a small portion of the success reward I promised to the other four and give it to Ban. For now I can only hope that he will be satisfied with that…”

Panoa responded with a confused expression but the calculator was busy running in her head.

Although things turned out unexpectedly it was a great harvest to rescue a wizard named Ban in the process.

Considering the circumstances of the current project this is a talent that should never be overlooked.

Rather than simply overlooking this mistake we should have used it as a stepping stone to continued cooperation with him.

“If Ban continues to join us in our plan we may be able to sort out the situation faster than we think. “We just need to expand our reach and build a sales network before other companies step in.”

“I guess we’ll have to regroup.”

“I’ll have to ask Manya to select useful freelance candidates again. Even if I spend a little more money this time it would be better to test it like you said. “No matter how short the manpower was we shouldn’t have saved money on something like this… but my thinking was definitely short-lived.”

As she said that she quickly walked to the desk and tapped on the keyboard.

In-house network. Among them she is sending a message collectively to the employees she had summoned separately for this project.

First by eliminating drug dealer Paul Ackerman he succeeded in cutting off a major source of investment that had been providing funds to arms dealers in the 40th District.

From here you must appropriately use both intimidation and co-optation methods against already established arms dealers to break through their sales network and eliminate competitors at the same time.

“I definitely felt comfortable because I made a plan assuming it was a lawless area. “The after-effects that need to be taken into account are not as big as you might think.”

“So like before there’s also a guy who stabs you in the back.”

“We have no choice but to control that part well.”

She said that and waved her hand while looking at Killian.

“Now go out. Oh by the way Manya will select the candidates and post them so pull out all the resumes and bring them to my desk by tomorrow morning.”

“Damn it… I’m not helping you right now just to do something like this.”

Killian grumbled like that but left the office without complaining much.

Panoa also tapped on the keyboard for a while then immediately took his outerwear and stood up.

It’s late in the morning.

The only reason I stayed at the company until this time to work was to confirm a series of plans at the port in Area 48.

Yawning I lift the remote control turn off the drone’s camera that was illuminating the port and input the return command.

That’s why she didn’t see it.

Lennok’s face accurately captures the direction the camera was in and casts his gaze in that direction.
