Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 32
by Jessie@AFNCC
After meeting with Madame, cleaning up went quickly.
From the moment Sebastian realized that Lennok had secured the blueprint he took care of all related matters in an instant.
“Thank you so much.”
The person who came to Sebastian’s office early in the morning and bowed his head was the person currently entrusting him with the position of Vice President of Autable.
He repeatedly bowed his head to Lennok expressing his gratitude in an extremely polite manner as if he were going to take out his liver.
“If it weren’t for Wizard Ban that bastard Madison would have opened my eyes and robbed me of the project’s results. “The wizard prevented the efforts of all Autable employees including me from almost going to waste overnight.”
It is not wrong to say that if the blueprints had actually been leaked there would have been a lot of damage.
Sebastian handed the original blueprint into the Vice President’s arms and gently tapped him on the shoulder.
“Aren’t you really glad that things worked out well? “I can’t hide the feeling of satisfaction I feel every time I take on a task like this.”
“If it weren’t for Sebastian how would we have known about this? “I never thought Madison would betray me like this…. Thank you very much for not forgetting your connection with our headquarters.”
Lennok looked up with a bored expression at the face of the vice president who was responding like a ghost to Sebastian’s expertly appealing his role.
I knew it was necessary so I couldn’t help it.
What a broker does is inevitably a process of dealing with people in this way.
“I hope you will tell your boss about this matter.”
“Of course. He’s been busy trying to sort out this matter but he said he’ll make sure to set up a position sometime soon. “You can probably look forward to it.”
“Hehehe!! “I didn’t want that but…”
The happy smile on Sebastian’s face did not disappear until he saw the vice president out of the office.
I think that if I can strengthen my relationship with the president of Autable through this it will be a sufficient benefit.
It took him a while to calm down and sit down across from Lennok.
“I’m sorry for getting excited. In fact it was not easy to become friends with the officials at Autoble. Because they had quite reliable investors behind them they had a considerable influence on the market but had relatively little interaction. “It’s quite a big step to get to know people in the automobile business through this work.”
“I see.”
Sebastian immediately changed the subject after Lennok’s harsh reply.
“You said something boring. Was there anything else you were curious about? “I have gathered all the necessary materials.”
After saying that he very casually took out a file from under the table and handed it to Lennok.
“As I collected information by singling out companies with severe internal politics I was able to immediately find out where the information about the company I wanted was located. “Look and listen.”
Lennok did as he said and immediately turned over the file.

As Sebastian said as soon as I opened the cover all I saw was stories about Dyke Corporation.
He had already gathered information and at the same time figured out that Lennok wanted information about Dyke.
A brief summary of the company. Information about the man currently sitting as president and introduction to the directors under him.
And even a photo of Panoa the planning team leader.
Sebastian opened his mouth as he watched Lennok flipping through the papers.
“Dike Corporation which enjoyed its heyday in manufacturing industrial tools is currently facing a major internal crisis. “The current president retired in disgrace and the new successor who took over management rights in the process of taking over the shares wants to push out the board of directors who have been in place for a long time.”
“…Are you saying it’s a battle for dominance?”
“yes. However the new president will need outstanding performance to gain the approval of shareholders so the idea was to expand the business base to the 40th district starting with Panoa. Pioneering a new market always leads to explosive sales so if you succeed properly you will be able to take the reins of that huge company right away.”
“And the board members have no intention of just watching it.”
It was not difficult to understand as it was not a rare occurrence on Earth.
“I understand quickly. It’s just like that. The board of directors who previously held power is minimizing support for the project and putting strong pressure on it. “The small number of employees who risked conflict with the board of directors and decided to cooperate with Panoa are the only power behind the current project.”
Was the reason for leaving Dyke’s wide talent pool alone and hiring freelancers from the back world not simply for justification?
If so it is to some extent understandable why Panoa selected and used manpower in such a ruthless manner.
This probably means that even the minimum level of support to filter out these people was lacking.
‘As expected… it’s definitely different than it looks from the outside.’
Once again I feel like I did a good job of visiting Sebastian.
Without this information it would have been impossible to do anything other than simply suspect Dyke’s lack of ability.
I don’t intend to understand the fact that the strategy was poorly planned but at least it confirms the fact that in the relationship between Dyke and Lennok Lennok can take a stronger lead than he does now.
And that wasn’t all bad news for Lennok at the moment.
It meant that even if Lennok demanded more from Dyke than he does now Dyke wouldn’t be able to refuse it.
After quickly calculating Lennok stood up immediately.
“Thanks for the explanation.”
“Are you planning to go already?”
“If you have the file you can replace the rest of the description with this. “I have work to do now.”
As Lennok said that he held the file in his hand and shook it.
Sebastian said looking at Lennok with a sullen expression as he left the office.
“Do you remember the bike design you got?”
“……what?”
“We handed over the original to Autoble but that doesn’t mean we didn’t make a copy in the process.”
“……..”
“If you remember anything come visit me again.”
Did he even notice that Lennok was starting to take interest in that area little by little?
The brokers were all so sharp at guessing things that one couldn’t tell if they were quick-witted or had a good sense.
Instead of responding Lennok smiled once and walked out of Sebastian’s office.
The information I received in return for accepting Sebastian’s request this time was considerable.
Of course the benefits Sebastian received in the process were significant but this was a level that could be taken into account for a smooth relationship in the future.
I don’t know how Sebastian overheard Dyke’s internal affairs but if he can document and bring us this much information in a short period of time there are plenty of reasons to continue interacting with him.

The ability to find the correct answer with only fragmentary information and the ability to neatly extract the internal affairs of the company that Lennok was curious about.
It is said that he does business with corporate executives and wealthy individuals and his know-how is so proficient that there is no doubt about it.
While Jenny had the advantage of having connections in all sorts of places regardless of whether they were corporate mercenary gangs or brokers and getting requests Sebastian had a much deeper insight and perspective as his customer base was concentrated.
Contrary to first impressions the ability itself is very impressive. At least during the war of nerves with Dyke he was definitely a talent to keep close to.
With that in mind Lennok headed straight to Jenny’s bar.
All the necessary information has been gathered. Now all that was left was to put an end to the tiresome negotiations with Dyke.

Lennok who went straight to the bar asked her to copy the file Sebastian had given her and briefly explained what had happened.
This is because I knew very well that it would be more convenient in many ways to officially conduct negotiations with Dyke through her.
Just as Lennok had thought a confident smile appeared on Jenny’s lips after hearing the situation so far.
“It exceeded my expectations.”
“……”
“I recommended this just in case but I didn’t know you would come with such good information. Even if only half of the internal disputes written here are true Panoa will never be able to refuse these conditions.”
“Exactly how much?”
“Hmm… there’s no need to set conditions first. They would be happy if we set the line first. In this case it is better to make an appointment without saying anything about the price. “There is a high chance that they will get scared and pay a much higher price than originally expected.”
Sebastian’s abilities were outstanding but Jenny’s insight was also so knowledgeable that you felt like your brain was opened when you listened to it.
Lennok was immediately convinced.
“Then can I send a similar message to Dyke?”
“It is enough to just notify the headquarters of the appointment time and come visit. The rest will be prepared by you. Just remember the minimum price you have in mind and if the stake offered by Panoa falls short of that you can break the game without hesitation.”
Looking at Jenny who ended her sentence by saying “I don’t think that will happen” Lennok nodded and stood up.
“Then I’ll ask you to send a message to Dyke. “I originally had no intention of working but suddenly I overexerted myself… I think I need to rest a little more.”
After working hard to find out about Dyke’s internal affairs my body continues to feel tired.
Since the bruises on my abdomen had not yet gone away and my movement was limited I thought I would rest a little more than usual.
At that time Jorden who was quietly listening to Jenny’s story with his arms crossed next to her suddenly opened his mouth.
“Which is the worst?”
“…There is no particular problem.”
“I heard you’ve been very tired lately.”
Lennok looked at Jenny in silence.
Who else would tell a story like this to Jordan?
Even though I knew it was a worry it was useless.
As expected she twitched her mouth and glanced away.
“Don’t look at me like that because it’s a little scary.”
There is no credibility to these words coming from the mouth of a woman who doesn’t seem to be that upset even if a bomb explodes in front of her eyes.
In the end Lennok sighed and nodded slightly.
“Well… isn’t it common for magicians to experience mental fatigue? “It’s part of that.”
Of course considering Lennok’s mental strength and aptitude for magic it would seem unlikely that he would be burdened by something like this except immediately after the battle but saying that directly was another matter.
Lennok did not yet trust Jordon and Jenny that much and had no intention of revealing his physical condition to others.
Mastering magical talent is not simply a matter of mental or spiritual talent.
If we were to be specific the talent for innate magical power was a physical talent and the ability to feel magical energy well and quickly raise it couldn’t be said to have no role in the body either.
Even if this dangerous glass-crystal body wants to be replaced immediately it is definitely a vessel that can accommodate the magical talent contained within.
Lennok never wanted to reveal himself through that piece.
At least after I become much stronger than I am now.
No matter how much of your talent you reveal it must be at a level that guarantees your safety.
Zordon who was staring at Lennok’s face spoke again.
“It’s a bruise.”
“……….yes?”
“Under the belly on the right. After receiving a strong shock and being crushed right? His gait seemed oddly uncomfortable so I wondered if it was a leg problem but it turned out not to be the case. “My sitting posture is also awkward.”
This time Lennok was completely speechless.
Even though he added a completely unexpected and sharp point Jordan continued to speak.
“I guess the disturbed breathing is part of that. I’m deliberately moving my right thigh in an attempt not to make it obvious but the pain has dulled my senses so the direction of my foot is slightly distorted. “The more conscious you are the more awkward your steps will become.”
“…I heard you were a doctor and that’s true. “You mean you can guess those symptoms just by looking at the outside?”
“If you save and kill a lot there are things you learn at some point… Just wait a moment.”
After saying that Jordon went up to the second floor of the bar came down with a small box that could fit in his hand and handed it to Lennok.
“It’s a potion patch made with medicinal ingredients that are effective in treating internal injuries. As the price is reasonable the effectiveness is also excellent. “The pain caused by the bruise will go away in no time.”
Did you even notice that there was already a bruise?
Lennok took the medicine given to him by Zordon feeling a little dumbfounded.
“thank you. “How much does it cost…”
“The cost of the alcohol I got here alone would be over 3 million cells so why bother counting that? Don’t hesitate just accept it and take care of it.”
“……”
If you think about it it wasn’t wrong so Lennok calmly put the medicine in his arms.
It wasn’t a problem that was too complicated to think about.
It would be enough to just accept it as a favor to maintain a good cooperative relationship in the future.
However it was interesting to note that Jordon’s keen eye was much sharper than Lennok thought.
Lennok nodded ignoring Jenny squinting next to him.
Jenny said behind him as he left the bar.
“I’ll contact you after I make an appointment with Dyke so get some rest. “You worked hard today too.”
“……..”
Come to think of it it’s already been more than half a year since I started working with her.
At first I thought it was a nest that could be moved at any time but the relationship that was connected by chance was dragging on for a long time.
Have we become a relationship where we can not only ask each other how things are but also how we are doing?
It was absurd for Lennok himself to give meaning to something like this but on the other hand he understood it.
After all humans are creatures that cannot live alone.
It is natural to want to trust and rely on someone.
It’s just that Lennok’s current situation is wrong as he has to take things for granted.
Let’s go back home.
You need to reduce unnecessary thoughts and focus on the future.
The tiresome tug-of-war with Dyke had to come to an end within at least two days.
