Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 46



With Eden’s death, the gang was completely destroyed, and things progressed surprisingly quickly.

Although the appearance of the black giant that briefly appeared in Area 48 was noisy it was not very difficult to keep quiet on this floor.

Dyke cleaned out the power plant that the warlock of Pandemonium had pushed aside established a new external branch in its place and quickly began to dominate the commercial world.

The business must be quickly stabilized before the city government begins inspections.

Rather it could be said that for Panoa and other project teams the real work begins now.

With the success of the plan the long internal dispute at Dyke’s headquarters came to an end.

Shareholders unanimously sided with the CEO and management rights within the company were completely transferred to Dustin Gudeman.

The manpower restrictions that had been severely restricted to Panoa so far were completely lifted and her position increased day by day.

“Please come this way. “I was waiting.”

Manya who was in front of the elevator politely guided Lennok to Panoa’s office.

It was usually difficult to understand her facial expressions but recently she seems to have become more lively in her actions.

“Looks like things are going well.”

“It looks like it’s showing off a lot.”

Even as she answered like that Manya’s face was expressionless.

“We haven’t even started the business yet but the expected income is extraordinary. “A variety of customers including freelancers and mercenaries operating in the outer areas are already trying to make deals with us to make up for the shortage of weapons.”

“……”

“The outlook is so positive that the production line will need to be operated by more than half to handle the expected volume.”

Since the project she participated in was a huge success her position in the company must have also risen sharply.

The elevator stopped and the doors opened.

The floor where Panoa’s office is located.

In the space where she was the only one working there were already dozens of employees moving around moving documents around talking and holding hands on the phone.

“There is a problem with the maintenance of factory number 4 but there is a shortage of manpower? “I will send you a list of outsourcing companies so select one and send an email back here.”

“Defects are not properly checked during the first production inspection process.”

“Request additional staffing from superiors and check the manual again.”

“The position in the Ministry of Materials and Resources is empty! “Who owns the phone here?”

As soon as the people who were shouting and moving noisily saw Manya’s face they adjusted their attitude and looked carefully.

She slowly knocked on the glass door of Panoa’s office secretly enjoying the blatant gaze.

Immediately the door opened and Panoa with a pale complexion welcomed Lennok.

“Please come in. “This is my first time seeing you since the operation.”

“It’s been a while.”

Lennok asked as soon as he sat down on the now familiar office sofa.

“Your face doesn’t look very good.”

“Well… there are things you can’t do now.”

As she said that she skillfully smiled at Lennok.

“But we can’t delay giving the gift we deserve to the wizard.”

As the cliché goes boiling a hunting dog in a pot just because the job is done does not happen.

Rather Panoa worked hard to show that she had not forgotten him by staying in contact with Lennok even after the affair ended.

This is because we know very well that the unexpected success of this plan depended solely on the abilities of one person Lennok.

The reason Lennok was able to make up for the relative lack of manpower and lack of information and crush the gang from the front was that he was a man with skills that went beyond the category of a simple wizard.

She is aware of the fact that if she tries to boil a hunting dog clumsily the entire pot she prepared could be ruined.

Then there is only one thing you can do.

It has no choice but to give sweeter rewards and prevent teeth from turning in this direction.

And Panoa has worked hard to prepare for this event today taking time out of his spare time.

“I gave Enakpil’s five fingers up front but of course I would pay separately for the overall success of the plan. “Please take this first.”

As she said that she held out a bankbook that had been converted to anonymous status and a stamp.

“It’s a cannon account with 300 million cells. “You can withdraw the entire amount in cash and it has been cleaned cleanly.”

“……”

After hearing the answer Lenno quietly picked up the bankbook.

300 million cells.

Even taking into account the increased ransom price of Lennok and the risk allowance so far it is clearly a large amount that would be burdensome to pay to one individual.

But Panoa clearly knew that saving money in a place like this would not help.

Moreover the rewards she prepared did not stop there.

Immediately a pair of matte black gloves and a small bottle containing light green liquid were taken out one after another.

“It’s the gloves from the Black Palace Workshop and the medicine called Toone’s Spring Water. “They say it’s mainly good for internal injuries.”

Panoa glanced at Lennok’s face and said.

“…I prepared this because I thought you may have overexerted yourself.”

At the end of the operation it must have been reported that Pandemonium was almost involved so it would have been difficult to pass on without knowing.

The gift she prepared showed that she put a lot of effort into fitting the situation.

That’s why instead of giving useless answers Lennok first asked what he was curious about.

“Black Palace workshop?”

“This is a VIP workshop run by a craftsman who takes orders from only a small number of members. Our company was also able to receive a waiting list and become a member only recently. “The products from this workshop are of good quality and difficult to obtain so they are occasionally used as gifts.”

Ignoring Panoa’s condescending words Lennok picked up the gloves and put them on both hands.

It’s so light that you can barely feel it while sticking to the palm of your hand.

As a test I generated magic power and saw that it passed through the armor very smoothly so it was clear that it was an item that paid close attention to magic conductivity.

“It is designed to protect the wrist by rapidly hardening when subjected to impact exceeding a certain level. Even if you fall from a 10-story building injuries can be greatly reduced as long as you keep both hands on the ground. “It is one of the most popular and difficult to find products in workshops.”

As soon as Lennok heard those words he took off his gloves and used shock magic.

Wow!!

As expected the surface of the glove suddenly became hard and stretched all the way to the wrist trying to protect the joint.

Only then did Lennok smile and nod.

“You brought some good stuff. thank you.”

“Of course I don’t intend to clean my mouth with just these items. The funds recovered from the gang’s safe will be distributed additionally and deposited into the account according to the level of contribution to this operation. “It looks like you spent a lot of money while fighting us but you will still be able to take more than 70% of the remaining funds.”

“I’m waiting.”

There is no need to refuse money from your account.

Panoa continued to explain in various ways what direction Dyke Corporation would pursue its business and how it could help Lennok in the process.

She then hinted that she hoped Lennok would help Dyke’s business more but Lennoc ended up leaving the headquarters building without answering her words.

The regretful faces of Panoa and Manya flashed before my eyes but I shook off my regrets.

I did what I had to do and received what I deserved.

In addition to the stated goal of gaining fame as a freelancer didn’t he receive various artifacts including funds as compensation?

Above all the data on lightning-type unique magic obtained from Eden’s laboratory was clearly the biggest gain from this work.

I have already confirmed in battle that I can use the applied techniques within it without having to learn the unique magic.

If we go through systematic research Lennok’s magic will be able to leap to a much higher level than it is now.

Even Lennok who was not emotionally shaken by most things found it difficult to hide his joy just thinking about it.

I want to lock myself in my studio right now and focus on research but before that there are a few things I need to take care of externally.

‘I’ll leave Jenny to take care of this and first improve my lifestyle a little.’

It is obvious that Lennok’s reputation and value increased dramatically due to this incident but since he had obtained a large amount of money for a long time there was a need to change the existing environment.

In particular the current studio was quite narrow to accommodate Lennok’s belongings and the security was not good so he was feeling a bit uneasy.

With this amount of money it is possible to purchase a relatively spacious house even in inner city areas.

‘It’s hard to make money but it’s also hard to spend it…’

There is only one point.

Even excluding the cost of purchasing elixirs and medicines how much money can be spent on improving living conditions?

And how much more investment will we have to make in the future?

Considering that wizards need a proper laboratory it is inevitable that personal space will continue to increase in the future.

However at the same time enough money had to be left over to maintain the health and vitality of the body with more expensive elixirs and drugs.

It was a difficult problem and a worry that I could not share with anyone.

Just like swimming across bare ground I have no choice but to think alone and find the answer.

The smoke scattered far away mixes with the cold air of the city and disappears.

Winter was approaching.

noise

“Did you go?”

“yes. “As always he didn’t look back.”

“It’s worth it.”

“…..president.”

Panoa who had been looking out the window reluctantly turned his head.

Dustin who was sitting on the sofa leisurely shook the coffee cup he was holding.

“No matter what happens you have to hold on to your class.”

“I know. And he will know.”

“……”

“Is it possible that you don’t know when I’m courting you so blatantly?”

Dustin’s self-deprecating mutterings are not wrong.

The reason Panoa gave Lennok a series of unconventional gifts was because the higher-ups had their own judgment that they had to keep him.

“I went to a meeting for a short time this time. “My friends started asking about the wizard.”

“……”

“Everyone knows how valuable a skilled wizard without any affiliation is.”

Dustin’s eyes shone sharply.

“You know what I’m saying right?”

“Of course.”

There are already a lot of rumors among companies about how much profit Dyke Corporation will receive from this incident and what kind of magician’s power was at the center of it.

For those who are more sensitive to the word profit than anything else the market opened by Dyke will seem like a perfect new continent to them.

“I received confirmation that other companies will not be able to set foot here until at least the inspection conducted directly by the city government is completed. “During that time we must focus on solidifying and maintaining a sales network for the weapons we produce.”

And the name of the powerful wizard who made all of this happen could be of great help to their plans.

The result of a grand lobbying effort encompassing the political and business world.

It may only be a temporary advantage but for large corporations like them it is definitely an opportunity they can gain by sacrificing everything.

“He probably knows that there is still one request left.”

A collaboration concluded with the promise of five collaborations.

We went on three missions together and Dustin eliminated one of them himself so there is only one left.

Rather than using this promise simply to tie him down I should have used it as an opportunity to build a better relationship.

“Let’s take our time and work on it slowly. “As long as you have contact information with that broker… an opportunity will come someday.”
