Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 29



Area 45.

A small downtown street where Sebastian’s office is located.

Because the 40th district had relatively little development progress it did not receive many benefits from the city government in terms of security or welfare but it was still nothing compared to the completely abandoned 50th district.

It’s hard to say that the members of this street are very good citizens but even if they lack a sense of ethics it’s still a neighborhood where people live.

In that sense Sebastian’s office could be said to be very unique and in a way well suited to his first impression.

A metaphysical design that looks like it was designed by calling an architect instead of an ordinary building.

Sebastian was smiling kindly in front of a building with a smooth streamlined shape that would have been acceptable if it were located inside the 10th Division district.

“Welcome. “This is the first time since I saw you at the bar right?”

“…Is this your office?”

“Then did I call someone into someone else’s office? “Let’s come in and talk.”

After passing through the gorgeous lobby reminiscent of an art museum and going up the spiral staircase you can see a cozy office decorated with pure white marble in the background.

A man who had been loitering in front of the office door stood up and hesitantly greeted me.

“Ah nice to meet you.”

He is an older-looking man in an old suit and with graying hair.

Rather than fitting in on the floor here it’s more like an ordinary office worker… I wonder if Seiji who works at a pharmaceutical company will look like this when she gets older.

An incongruous bruise on the lip is visible.

Sebastian introduced the man very naturally.

“This is Mr. Madison who came to my office this time for personal reasons. This is the wizard class. “He’s a very skilled freelancer.”

I don’t know when he said this because he worked with me but there’s no reason for him to refuse to have his face painted with gold.

Lennok roughly let the man named Madison enter the office first and then whispered to Sebastian.

“It was this person’s responsibility not yours Sebastian who placed the advance money on the deep web.”

“Did you notice?”

I was waiting for Lennok outside the office door but if there was a new customer the story was obvious.

Sebastian just wanted to hire Lennok so he used this tactic to double hire him.

His expression did not change even in response to Lennok’s criticism and he skillfully opened the office door and responded.

“It’s a method that is openly used among brokers who know each other. First of all changing brokers registered on the deep web is very cumbersome and the method of temporarily borrowing customers works much more conveniently. “It’s not a big problem since we exchange compensation anyway.”

“I haven’t said I will accept the request yet.”

“Isn’t it a matter of listening first and then deciding?”

As Sebastian prepared three cups of coffee and sat down Madison struggled to speak.

blueprint

He is said to be the head of the development department at Autoble a fairly famous automobile company in the Balkans and is in charge of a new model project that the company is putting at risk.

The problem was that while transporting the blueprints for the completed model at the end of the project they were stolen by a group of freelancers of unknown origin.

It is said that the wounds on his face were caused by fighting with the robbers during the process.

“I would like to recover the blueprint as intact as possible but if not I would like to entrust the job on the condition that the leaked blueprint be completely destroyed.”

Sebastian gently comforted Madison who seemed restless even as she told the story probably because she was going through a lot of emotional distress.

“Don’t worry. Wizard Ban is a very capable person who has never failed a single request so far. “It will definitely be of great help to you.”

“……..”

Lennok looked at him in bewilderment at that nonsense.

It’s not wrong but it’s also not right.

I’ve lived a pretty hard life up until now but there are less than ten major projects that can be called requests in the first place so what’s the use of saying this?

However Madison seemed to have found a great deal of comfort in those words and her complexion quickly recovered.

From then on Sebastian very carefully consoled and comforted Madison extracting the information needed for the request and eventually succeeded in sending the very calm office worker back to his home.

Sebastian who was watching Madison driving away in a shining silver sedan silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and took a bite.

A lighter floating in the air lights itself and smoke rises.

Lennok quietly looked at the scene and sipped the remaining coffee.

Looking at that scene I could understand to some extent the hardships of the service industry.

After standing silently for a while he turned his head and asked Lennok.

“What does it look like?”

“I don’t know what that means.”

Lennok responded angrily.

“Can you tell anything other than that the man named Madison is lying?”

“…If you know that there’s no need to talk at length.”

Sebastian who sat down at the head table where Madison was sitting with a satisfied smile looked at Lennok and nodded.

There was a sense of pride in that gaze as if his expectations had not been disappointed.

“The only injury you got while fighting a robber who tried to steal the blueprints was a bruise on your lip so that’s a bit of bragging… It’s almost uncomfortable to hear.”

A new project from Autoble Company.

The robbers who found out about the existence of the blueprint and came to rob it reveal their traces and actually let Madison go unharmed?

It’s ridiculous to even get into a fistfight and send him away with only a bruised lip.

The Balkan ecosystem that Lennok knew was not such a gentle and friendly place.

“There are two possibilities I can think of.”

Sebastian said taking out wine from under the table and skillfully filling two glasses.

“Madison is lying and was in cahoots with the robbers. Or-”

“I was betrayed after being betrayed.”

“Exactly.”

If this was simply done in unison with the robbers there would be no need to come to Sebastian.

When it comes to playing good victims the only characters who are at the bottom are those who can’t even play supporting roles.

However if he decided to steal the blueprints and was betrayed by his group the story would be different.

A secret that cannot be told to the company or to robbers.

A situation that requires a freelancer to solve on your own.

This was exactly the area where a broker named Sebastian could help.

“So what do you plan on doing?”

“I’m sorry Mr. Madison but I also have a pretty good relationship with the president of the Autoble Company.”

Sebastian answered lifting the smartphone in his hand.

“All conversations I had with him will be recorded and sent to the president’s inbox. “Mr. Madison will probably have a hard time coming to work tomorrow because he has to meet the police.”

“……”

Although he speaks with a bright smile on the outside it is true that he is a person who is said to have a sword in his stomach.

In Lennok’s opinion Sebastian seemed closer to the image of a typical broker than Jenny.

As if Sebastian had sensed Lennok’s thoughts he quickly changed his words.

“Of course I have no intention of doing something like this against our wizard. The reason I showed this in front of my eyes was also to criticize my cards and gain trust. “Do you think I’m crazy enough to use an electronic device against a wizard?”

…..The fact that words flowed out like clear water was also similar to Jenny.

In any case if Madison was really trying to steal the blueprints and got stabbed in the back what had to be done was decided.

“In the end what we need to save is not Madison’s confession but the robbers’ actions.”

“This is a time when the skills of the Bounty Hunters who were catching bounty criminals like eating food are needed. Would you like to accept the request?”

I was wondering why they had called him in and given him this job. Was it a decision made after looking at Van’s career in catching bounty criminals?

Of course he may not have known how Lennok tracked down the bounties but it must have been a pretty sharp judgment.

At the very least he thought about calling Lennok after thinking about what kind of situation Madison was in and how the request should be resolved.

If a broker is this careful and has good judgment it would be okay to work with him at least once.

Sometimes a decision is made based on the person rather than the content of the request.

Lennok made a decision.

“good. “Instead I would like to receive something other than cash as compensation.”

“Hmm customers who want something other than money tend to be picky. “Let’s just listen.”

Even as Sebastian said that he responded calmly as if he knew Lennok would make such a request.

‘How much should I say….’

I don’t plan on revealing all the information to Sebastian right now but I need to at least tell him that there are companies trying to get involved in this situation for the story to progress.

Of course there was a high possibility that Dyke would not be pleased with this kind of behavior… but to be honest that was none of Lennok’s business.

After planning the first operation in a haphazard manner Lennok had already lost trust in Panoa.

In this situation it would be foolish to keep your mouth shut to protect your credibility.

Rather Lennok was planning to actively leak Dyke’s name and use it as a suitable shield from now on.

So that people like Beck from Cigar Bang whom I encountered this morning have no choice but to pay attention to Lennok’s backstory instead of trying to take out their anger on him.

No matter how much you are willing to endure a hostile relationship there is no need to endure unnecessary effort in the process.

Especially when dealing with a partner who can’t do his or her job properly.

Sebastian slowly rested his chin and fell into thought after hearing Lennok’s explanation that appropriately condensed the situation.

“This… is quite an interesting story.”

“……”

“If you said it yourself it wouldn’t be a lie but in fact there are several reasons why companies have not touched this area. “If I’m going to take that risk and jump into this game I’m going to get a little busy…”

Sebastian’s face hardened and he constantly shook the glass in his hand.

While he was deep in thought the wrinkles on his face smoothed out and he suddenly grinned.

“good. Let’s talk in detail once we get the blueprints back. In the meantime I’ll try to gather some information about other companies.”

“Is it possible?”

“of course. Even considering the agreement with the Dominion this move is very bold. It is no exaggeration to say that it is reckless. If something like this happens the company must have a problem with internal dynamics. If I shake up the executives I know something will fall out. “I’m rather interested too.”

“……..”

Sebastian’s appearance as he picked up his cell phone while saying that looked completely different from the image of a man groggy over a glass of alcohol.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“No it’s nothing. “Then I’ll just go.”

Lennok put down the wine glass he was holding and stood up.

There was no need for Lennok to delay long as Sebastian immediately decided to make the move he wanted.

The clues to the robbers according to Madison’s testimony are volatile and you’ll need to move as quickly as possible to chase them down.

“Let’s leave right now. “Send me Madison’s recording too.”
