Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 543



The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 543

Closed area (5)

At Keegan’s words the other attendants jumped to their feet.

“Administrator!!”

“It is possible that communicating directly with the Three Heads regarding this agenda would be too dangerous…!!”

“Everyone hasn’t come to their senses yet. “Do you think we are in a position to decide between the two now?”

Keegan’s cool gaze instantly scanned the employees inside the conference room.

“Who will suffer the most if this fails?”

There was silence.

“If time goes on without resolving the situation like this all of us here will be exposed to magic particle radiation.”

“….”

“Forget about the relationship between the bright and the dark or overpowering. Are you planning to give up your life simply because you are afraid of disciplinary action from your superiors?”

Only then did the attendants’ expressions change dramatically as they realized what Keegan Grimes was talking about.

In fact this is the last time the Central Council will take action to resolve this situation.

He understood that if a team of holy-level superhumans including innocents could not find a solution the higher-ups had no intention of doing anything.

No matter what happens we must stop the radiation exposure phenomenon here and now and solve the problem of closed areas.

The old thugs in the Central Council would rather bury the lives of citizens than expose the problem of the closed area.

Keegan had already fully understood this fact even before this operation began.

Only then did the attendants begin to give their opinions one by one.

“I know the cartel’s contact information.”

“It is said that field agents are making themselves known in order to make things easier during the cleanup process in the 30th Division.”

“It seems that it has been handled implicitly at a level outside the scope of the law.”

Among the attendants quickly exchanging opinions Keegan pounded the table.

“The problem is how to contact the president directly.”

“Simply making contact is not enough. “We have to at least contact the secretary’s office to get information.”

“I won’t try to meet you easily. “The moment you learn that it is a manager there is a possibility that you will be wary of political manipulation.”

“It will be difficult in the end if we do not inform people of what is happening inside the closed area. However I want to keep sharing confidential information to a minimum…”

The best solution would be to report this directly to the cartel’s chairman and receive advice.

However it has already been several years since Oliveira Ron Mays stopped her official activities and went into hiding.

At the time of the death of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Madrich Onion there were only rumors that he was operating behind the scenes.

It was almost impossible to bring out the retired chairman just by contacting the administrator.

Keegan lost in thought raised his hand.

“Connect with your contact. “I will speak directly.”

“…All right.”

Turrrrr-

As soon as he realized that the other person had received a call Keegan immediately opened his mouth.

“Unofficial line. There is something to be said about external torture in cartels.”

-….

“It is a matter related to the personal safety of Gongrei. “It’s an urgent matter at 1 o’clock so could you please call the secretary’s office right away?”

An answer that doesn’t come back for a long time.

However in the silence that continues quietly without losing contact.

Finally the noise of someone switching the line rang out.

The moment Keegan quietly took a breath a cold voice rang out from the other end of the line.

-I want you to know that this type of communication does nothing to help the relationship between the city government and headquarters. Officer Class 1 Grimes.

“….”

Keegan stiffened his face feeling a chill run down his spine.

Even though we haven’t even introduced anything the other person already knows who this person is.

-The headquarters strictly manages those who impersonate external advisors. The reason I pass this incident off as a warning is because I recognize the hard work of the managers who manage that needlessly large dam.

“…Thank you for your consideration President Virgil O’Reiden.”

Keegan answered in a calm voice.

“But I want you to know that there is no lie in what I said. That’s because the current situation is urgent.”

In the end the manager’s gamble to call the cartel’s president directly paid off.

The chairman’s right-hand man who is by far the most senior among the four presidents.

The CEO who oversees the cartel’s numerous businesses and the entrepreneur who takes responsibility for all of its achievements and controls the hidden capital.

As a result of selling Lennok’s name without hesitation and appealing to their sense of urgency the first president of Oreden received their call directly.

-What does it mean to say that you have something to say about the personal affairs of an external advisor?

The vampire’s cold voice rang softly through the line.

-As you may know there are bad rumors going around about the health of external advisors. Are you aware that the issue mentioned by the manager is a sensitive topic for headquarters as well?

“Of course.”

Keegan swallowed his saliva and answered.

He had no hesitation when dealing with level 8 monsters and level 7 completers but it was completely different when dealing with cartels.

The four team members Keegan was with were all relatively moderate in nature.

However the cartel only takes the form of a company and is a real threat that requires action at any time if something goes wrong.

If you can’t convince Keegan of why he sold Lennok’s name here there’s going to be a price to pay one way or another.

“I won’t say much. “I will send you a video that I personally took in Area 25.”

-…District 25?

Virgil also asked once again if he felt something checked the video transmitted over the line and immediately lost contact.

Tu duh….

At the same time this time a security line came from the cartel side.

As soon as Keegan began receiving calls Virgil’s face began to appear on the conference room screen.

Virgil who was sitting in the center of the vast office had a smile that could not be hidden on his face.

-I see. I was wondering what on earth I wanted to say but then I saw this nostalgic face…

“….”

Virgil looked at Keegan with the red eyes characteristic of a vampire and spoke leisurely.

-You made a wise decision Administrator Grimes. As soon as you saw the video did you try to contact them to request additional information? You are completely different from the city government managers I know.

I felt like Virgil’s voice became thinner for a moment.

-It’s as if his life is at stake in this matter.

‘Sigh…!’

The sound of several of the attendants taking in their breath uncontrollably.

However Keegan did not try to deny the fact.

This is a man who has survived on the front lines of the shadows for over several decades to reach his current position.

Wouldn’t it be strange if your senses weren’t so sharp that it was at a mysterious level?

It wouldn’t have been surprising if a series of circumstances had been guessed just by looking at Keegan’s contact and the circumstances surrounding it.

“I would like to receive the testimony of those who were on the scene at the time as quickly as possible. “Can you call the cartel executives who were out in District 25?”

-What is the price?

“After the work inside the closed area is successfully completed we will provide progress and related information.”

-You are saying dangerous things. Do you know how reckless a promise it is to confirm that fact in the name of a manager?

Virgil’s laughter grew louder at Keegan’s non-answering attitude.

-No I said it wrong. If things don’t succeed you’re actually in a situation where you can’t keep your promise.

“…”

-good. But you don’t have to go far. In any case the headquarters that participated in the operation at the time did not have much strength.

Virgil tapped the desk with a thoughtful expression reminiscing about that time.

-This was before the long civil war was resolved. I said that there was urgent work to be done near the power plant before the conclusion was reached.

“Do you know what kind of operation was going on in the closed area at the time?”

-I don’t know the specifics. Just remember that it was so large that it forced all the civilians living nearby to flee.

Virgil answered.

-I think they were probably trying to keep the research that needed to be done inside the power plant a secret…

“….”

As soon as he heard those words Keegan bit his lip.

This was because it was like confirming with Virgil’s own words that the superhumans of the past who were separated from the timeline of decades ago were by no means their allies.

Virgil chuckled as he looked at Keegan.

-I almost know what you’re thinking. It’s a much more interesting secret than I thought. I see. The radiation exposure phenomenon that occasionally occurred beyond Area 25 eventually…

Even if the information inside the closed area is hidden it is possible to find a piece of the truth with only a few clues and traces of things with great insight.

Keegan asked again while watching Virgil quickly piece together the hidden secrets of Area 25 from the results to the results.

“Can you speak directly to the Chairman about this agenda?”

-….

“It may be presumptuous but the chairman himself may be directly involved in this. “If we ever get in touch with him I’m sure there will be important information he remembers…!”

-Oh you arrived just in time.

“yes?”

-I’m not the type of person who rarely receives messengers but if it’s an agenda of this magnitude it would be difficult to ignore it.

Virgil said and shook the cell phone that was still in his hand.

-I contacted you as soon as I saw the video. You gave me a reply.

Virgil immediately turned on the messenger and checked Oliveira’s reply and his face suddenly changed strangely.

-…hmm?

“What…”

Virgil’s reaction was so strange that even the attendants who were watching him couldn’t even breathe and were nervous.

-No the Chairman… Hmm.

Virgil who was stroking his chin with a troubled expression blurted out something.

-He said he was going to Kurbas Dam right now.

“….”

There was only cold silence in the conference room.

Virgil smiled bitterly and stood up.

-We will prepare the protocol on our side. Please cooperate.

“They are quarantining the area near the power plant and touring all around?”

“Yes.”

McQueen answered without hesitation.

“Kaise himself said it was necessary so we are just replenishing spare power and allocating it to this area.”

“….”

“I will finish work and return within three days. “I’m busy with the war so I don’t have time to invest a lot of time.”

McQueen said that the particle power plant is being isolated and access to outsiders is completely blocked.

In order to enter the power plant using the regular method you have no choice but to fight directly with the superhumans of the past.

Parden McQueen and Oliveira Caise from decades ago and other superhumans from the past who ran with support.

I haven’t confirmed all the other strengths yet but the first three are like this so what about the others?

‘There are so many things I want to check… but I don’t have much time.’

Is the McQueen living in front of you the real McQueen of the past or is it just an illusion that remains in this area?

In fact Lennok had already concluded that the former was unlikely.

If he really went back in time it would mean that he was forced to go back in time regardless of Lennok’s will.

Considering Lennok’s ability to target resistance this is virtually impossible.

It cannot even be considered unless it is an Ascended or Foreign God-level miracle but if such a miracle were lurking in the area there would be no way Lennok would not have noticed it.

‘But it’s also difficult to think that it’s just an illusion.’

Now this McQueen is having a normal conversation with Lennok thinking and arbitrarily making actions that would not have existed in the past.

Not only that the power flowing out of his body was very similar to what Lenno remembered.

It is not simply a matter of separating the timelines and moving them far apart.

A miracle that cannot be understood without setting a specific point in time ‘fixing’ this moment and embedding it into the world’s timeline as a whole.

If this was a by-product of the Black Consumer project that Kaise had a hand in Lennok had to check it out here.

“You’re all there. “The particle power plant is over there.”

Unlike the outskirts of the closed area which was close to ruins a magnificent new structure with no visible dust.

Beyond the huge wall that seems to have been made entirely of poured concrete a thick chimney and ventilation shaft boasting an enormous diameter can be seen.

A particle power plant that continuously smokes and overlaps faint waves of magical energy.

Although he could only see it through a thick barrier Lennok could sense an extremely powerful energy source within it.

The fact that all the phenomena currently occurring in this closed area are related to that power plant.

Standing in front of the power plant McQueen glanced back at Lennok and pointed back towards Lennok toward the bridge leading to the power plant.

“Take the lead.”

“…Are you even thinking about doubting me now?”

“You should be careful before meeting the Chairman.”

McQueen said with no sign of letting down his guard.

“I guided you because you had a business card with your signature on it but I don’t trust you.”

“…”

“Excessively dangerous magical power… it belongs to someone who has killed countless people. In the first place I don’t know if a wizard like you has the personality to truly trust and follow someone.”

“Trust and follow….”

Is there anything more ironic than this to hear directly from the mouth of McQueen who ended his life by betraying Oliveira?

“What are you laughing at?”

McQueen’s reaction clearly reveals his uncomfortable feelings without hiding them.

This is a slightly different attitude from McQueen when he was alive who seemed somehow aloof other than the obsession with his own time that Lennok remembered.

As the decades passed this apostate monk must have had many opportunities to change his values ​​of life.

“If you think so wouldn’t it be resolved by killing me with your liberation technique at any time?”

“….”

“I know that you used the main gate to create an imaginary landscape. “If it’s the scene of Gosan that contains your heart it wouldn’t be a problem to get rid of even me-”

“stop.”

It was a time when Farden McQueen denied his own image and did not even like the fact that the scenery of the self-reflection area referred to the high mountains of his time as a monk.

Although it is possible to express displeasure at Lennok’s words mentioning his territory it would not be easy to further doubt and push Lennok who knows such information.

Lennok targeted and stabbed precisely at the gap between psychological discomfort and reluctance and it worked well for McQueen himself.

McQueen who could not bear it anymore hit Lennok’s feet hard with the sword he was holding in his hand.

“Go in. “As you said I will guide the facilities and reorganize the command system after meeting the Chairman.”

“….”

“I couldn’t be more inconvenienced by the lack of communication near the Ramahal area. “I wonder if things will get better after Kaise’s research is over…”

There is still a chance to kill McQueen and enter alone.

However after calming down his magic Lennog followed McQueen’s instructions and crossed the bridge into the power plant with his cane.

The huge power plant is full of empty fields and facilities without a single person.

Have all the civilians living near the area as well as the employees and officials managing the power plant been evacuated?

What on earth is the research that Kaise was conducting here that made him keep people away from people like this and leave only saint-level or higher superhumans to set up a guard?

As of now each and every one of them is merely serving as a security guard to powerful people who can shake up the shadowy power structure.

The moment when Lennok who once again realized the gap in time was about to walk towards the gate leading into the power plant.

[Parden McQueen.]

A voice was heard calling McQueen from high above my head.

[Outsiders must be prohibited from entering. Didn’t you hear what Kaise said?]

A flat yet dry voice with no pitch or tone.

But as soon as McQueen heard that voice he shook his head.

“I am an official from the headquarters. “I heard that I received an order to join this operation so I’m on my way to check the authenticity.”

[Then it would be better to dispose of it outside the power plant.]

A voice answered.

The voice that quietly blended with the wind felt like a ghost.

[Didn’t Kaise personally ask for strict restrictions on entry? Are you planning to disobey the orders?]

“I just need to ask the chairman directly. At least it was clear that I heard directly from him.”

McQueen asked back with an expressionless face.

“Or would you go into the power plant facility yourself and tell them this? “Then wait here.”

“….”

There was no answer.

Instead I felt like the gaze was disappearing as if looking down at me from a distant sky.

Lennok immediately turned his gaze to McQueen and asked:

“Who is it?”

“One of Kaise’s henchmen.”

McQueen frowned and replied.

“Isn’t he famous for always carrying around his henchmen as his personal guard? “They are all picky and have annoying abilities.”

“….”

“I hate to admit it but their performance in the civil war was so great that they even got their own name. “I’m sure the name is probably…”

He spoke as if he remembered McQueen who was lost in thought.

“It was Deadrise.”

“…what?”

The moment Lennok who had never expected to hear that name here turned his head.

Wedge!!

A flash of gray light cut through the atmosphere at the speed of sound and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye something fell vertically from the sky and stopped in front of the two with its massive body spread wide open.

Wow!!

Iron-clad wings spread out on both sides.

The sight of countless firearms hanging inside the magnificent wings nearly several meters long was clearly visible to Lennok.

The image of a man suddenly slowing down and landing on the ground with two wings of overwhelming artificial beauty dangling from his back.

Dull sunken gray eyes were looking at Lennok with a cool gaze.

“….”

The three leaders of the cartel.

A private military company that Kaise’s henchmen set up after betraying him.

Was even that name originally referring to Kaise’s personal guard unit?

Ironically Lennok met the person responsible for the incident and one of Kaise’s henchmen here.

Perhaps one of the criminals who might betray Kaise in the future and leave him.
