Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 294



Assassination plot (1)

“I think you are looking too lightly at the scale of this incident.”

Donovan who turned his gaze quickly glanced at her clothes and nodded.

“…You’re from the Cybrid Echo side. “Do you think what I said was wrong?”

“A passive response of wanting to avoid risk is not enough. “You have to think about it until then.”

Donovan slowly stood up at her cold words.

The woman spoke without paying attention to his reaction.

“If this project is successfully completed the National Guard will receive loot such as military equipment and mobile fortress resources as incentives.”

The woman who responded firmly then turned her head and made eye contact with Lennok.

“Are you planning on handing over all of that incentive to that one wizard?”

“I haven’t even started work yet so it’s too early to say that.”

Donovan spoke clearly.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to coordinate after the work is over and share an acceptable piece of the pie? “I think the important thing is to handle the task at hand.”

“But it’s clear that it’s inefficient.”

The woman spoke silently looking around at all the people in the conference room.

“Once you hand over all the money to Gorei you’ll start worrying about whether he’s doing his part of the work rather than focusing on his own work.”

“….”

“What if it ends in failure?”

In the silent conference room only the woman’s voice rang out.

“Regardless of the team’s skill and strength it is a very foolish choice to focus all of the team’s capabilities and investment on one person. At least we don’t work that way.”

“I agree.”

The young man who was chewing gum grinned and raised his hand.

“It’s good for a few people to make sacrifices to encourage the participation of those with strong skills but I don’t want that to be forced on all of us.”

He said that and then pointed his hand towards the woman.

“At least I’d rather bet on this logical woman than that wizard who doesn’t know what he’s thinking.”

The young man’s words seemed to have driven a wedge and one by one others began to express opinions different from before.

The fact that you are here means that you are willing to participate. There may be no reason to hand over all the price. How about we talk again after the matter is over?

Lennok did not respond in particular and just quietly looked around the chaotic conference room.

“Things are going strangely.”

Panoa slightly tilted his head towards Lennok and whispered.

“Originally Ban would have been able to take command of this matter without even touching it.”

“Rep. Mayer is probably not the only one interested in this matter.”

Lennok answered.

“It may be the result of the intervention of other lawmakers who do not want to take responsibility but want to undermine the strength of the National Guard.”

The military power that the National Guard currently possesses and the existence of mobile forts themselves are undoubtedly resources worth coveting.

Even if you can’t get your hands on it right away it will be a very attractive item if you can make an appropriate justification for it and turn it into a private army.

In a way it was natural for other lawmakers to embrace and help those who had gathered here in advance.

“Will it be okay?”

“Well… I actually like their offer more than Donovan’s.”

“…yes?”

It seemed like Mayer and Donovan were planning to pour all their resources into Lennok and use him as the leader to overcome this obstacle.

Lennok did not initially find the offer attractive.

The important thing is to end this situation as quickly as possible before the Blue House calls for snow. The goal is to reduce unnecessary time investment in the process.

It seemed like there was a lot more that could be done by moving alone rather than trying to lead people who were gathered here and not properly united.

To be honest I didn’t feel like Lennok would be of much help even if he was with someone of considerable skill.

Unless you are a person with a strong sense or specialty it is fortunate that it does not get in your way.

Unless he was a specialized technician like Asui or a veteran with the sense and experience of Manson or Dylan Millar there was not much benefit to Lennok from cooperation.

Of course those gathered here are also seasoned veterans of the underworld but will the results achieved by working with them be much different from when Lennok worked alone?

There were so many cases where Lennok’s achievements alone overwhelmed everyone else so Mayer’s suggestion did not seem to have much meaning.

[Master.]

While Lennok was thinking this and watching the situation unfold Dabi quietly called out to Lennok from within his arms.

Following the momentum Lennok glanced down at his cell phone and naturally stood up.

As soon as he grabbed the doorknob of the conference room the waiting attendants politely blocked Lennok’s path.

“Where do you plan on going?”

“restroom.”

“…Is it okay if I accompany you?”

“doesn’t care.”

Lennok went out to look for the bathroom receiving everyone’s attention.

“….”

A hallway filled with heavy silence even though dozens of security guards were standing at attention.

Lennok who was heading to the bathroom located at the end naturally turned towards the emergency exit stairs.

The attendants who followed Lennok also moved along very naturally rather than stopping him.

11th floor of the building.

A small manor on the rooftop. The attendant who had been following Lennok in front of him naturally steps back.

“It’s here.”

Mayer who was sitting among the shady tree stumps waved his hand at Lennok.

Lennok who naturally sat down next to him said with a grin.

“Isn’t it too old-fashioned to secretly summon someone? “Other people must have noticed this already.”

“doesn’t care.”

Mayer rested his chin and answered leisurely.

“It would be better if you would accept it that way.”

As Mayer answered that question there was a small pair of wireless earphones hanging from his ears.

He was probably eavesdropping on the entire conversation inside the conference room through these earphones.

And when things seemed to be going strangely he immediately called Lennok and brought him to the rooftop.

“It seems like you chose someone who is too honest for a wind catcher.”

“….”

“It would have been better to cast a friend who was chewing gum instead of Donovan Whyte.”

“Were you even looking out there? “I did it just in case but you can’t fool me for long.”

After saying that Mayer slowly shook his head.

“No matter how much we tried to do in advance it would have ended up like this. “There are more than one city council member who are interested in this matter.”

“….”

“Rather it is better to reveal their influence little by little in this way. What is important to me is to make this a success. “Because it’s the only one.”

It’s quite an anxious tone to call him aside and tell him. Lennok stared at him quietly and then asked.

“Did you gamble?”

Mayer frowned slightly and nodded.

“It’s similar. “It’s because I got the position as a council member at the price of minimizing damage to the city government and taking on all of the responsibility.”

“….”

Somehow I felt that the speed at which I rose to the level of city council member was too fast.

Regardless of Mayor’s abilities the position of city council member is an important job that cannot be reached without having the appropriate connections and skills.

To defeat other rivals and win the seat Mayer attempted a rather extreme deal.

“If this continues it will be impossible to even approach the core factions that exist in the city council. “In that case I thought it would be better to take advantage of this crisis and take a gamble.”

“Don’t you think it’s reckless?”

“I can endure falling to the ground.”

Mayer’s eyes shone sharply.

“Once you reach it you can try again and again. “I won’t stop until I reach the top of this city.”

“It’s not a bad attitude.”

Lennok chuckled.

Lennok knows well that John Mayer is not a good person.

However the intense greed that burns through an aging body and the tremendous determination that even surprises Lennok are by no means the type of thing to be ignored.

If someone were to pursue the top of the city so desperately without regard for pride or honor wouldn’t they at least reach that threshold?

It would be a lie if I said that I am not continuing to keep in touch with this man even though I am curious about the ending he will face.

The sight of him running toward his goal without even considering his own circumstances… was something Lennok was familiar with.

“I’m sure everyone else has realized by now that I summoned you on purpose.”

Mayer said.

“Let’s start again from there. “If you want to go it alone in this matter it would be better to form a team with Donovan in charge.”

“That doesn’t matter but… we need to do a more careful background investigation.”

Lennok who was fiddling with the tobacco in his arms answered.

“If it is not possible to prevent other lawmakers from interfering in this matter due to circumstances there may be more liaisons involved. Maybe in a more extreme way than now-”

The moment Lennok said that and turned his head he suddenly began to feel a strange presence in the sky above.

“….”

I wasn’t paying any attention to it since it wasn’t inside the area but it seemed to be gradually narrowing the distance.

This is not an ordinary life reaction. It’s much heavier and heavier than that…

Lennok turned his head.

“Is the council using helicopters to protect councillors?”

“hmm? yes. By hovering they are reducing wind and noise and providing fire support from afar. “But how did you know?”

“It’s descending from up there.”

Mayer tilted his head as he looked at Lennok looking up at the sky.

“That’s strange. In these urban areas there must be guidelines in place to prevent people from descending below a certain altitude while under optical camouflage. “Unless there is some serious emergency…”

“….”

Mayer’s voice rapidly decreases. The two people who made eye contact got up from their seats at the same time.

Whoa!!

Immediately after that something swooped down right in front of the roof of the building and instantly blocked the two people’s path.

What appeared after removing the optical camouflage was a large aircraft painted in somber black.

The streamlined fuselage is impressive with wheel-like hovering engines mounted on both sides instead of rotor blades mounted on the top of the fuselage.

The thick gun muzzle below the engine glowed eerily.

Mayer swallowed his saliva when he saw that the pilot’s eyes visible through the window had completely turned over and only the whites remained.

At the moment the other attendants were shouting and running the aircraft’s muzzle fired fire first.

Tututututu!!!!

Without hesitation Lennok threw himself backwards hugging Mayer’s shoulder with one arm.

Wow!

“Ugh!!”

Ignore Mayer who is screaming with a frightened expression and activate your senses to the limit.

Lennok who immediately saw the flying object that had jumped forward and heated its gun barrel quickly unfolded the shield behind his back.

Doo doo doo doo!!

Hundreds of bullets stop behind Lennok’s back as if blocked by a solid wall in the air.

Lennok tapped the inside of his coat as the wind blew against him.

“Are you ready?”

[Of course.]

Good profit!!

Cast a floating spell on the court and stop the speed.

The coat made with shadow magic quickly received magic power and spread out like pitch-black wings.

As if promised a pitch-black monster bike jumped out from underneath and took in the two people.

Wow!!

“Huh huh…!!”

Mayer who was sitting on the back seat of the bike kept looking back with a look on his face as if he was going crazy.

As soon as Lennok pulled the throttle a pitch-black bike shot forward in an instant.

Buaaaa!!

The bike racing at high speed with a heavy rotation sound begins to leave the center of the dense road.

Mayer who came to his senses late was startled and grabbed Lennok’s shoulder.

“Where are you going now?!”

“I’m running away to a place where there aren’t enough people.”

Lennok responded leisurely.

“It’s not that difficult to blow up that aircraft… but wouldn’t that make it difficult to figure out who planned this?”

“that….”

“If you stay back as if you’ve been waiting that side will also invite other friends.”

If he wanted to he could catch and send back all the hundreds of bullets fired by the aircraft on the spot.

However the reason Lennoch chose to run away without hesitation instead of destroying the aircraft at once was to bring out the mastermind who planned this incident.

“This is an opponent who is trying to cause trouble even if it means tampering with the city council member’s security personnel. “I probably didn’t plan on ending this from the beginning.”

Lennok said quickly leaving the 10th division’s area by changing gears at will with the help of boarding assistance magic.

Good profit!!

The bike’s thick wheels slid across the road surface without hesitation leaving skid marks.

Lennok lowered his head slightly and his eyes became cold.

“And if we see that the target is escaping without hesitation like this… he will definitely follow us if only to confirm his intentions.”
