    The Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine Episode 575

    Power game (2)

    Lennok’s assertion that he came to see Oliveira.

    However Virgil was silent for a long time and then with difficulty came up with an answer.

    “Chairman… I think you may have known this situation would come.”

    “What do you mean?”

    “Before you went back to the lab you said you might reveal a very important secret.”

    “….”

    “You told me to give you this answer if you wanted to bring up the matter of the closed area.”

    Does this mean that he had already guessed how much Lennok had figured out and was trying to win?

    Lennok sighed softly and shook his head.

    “Just listen first.”

    “It was a miracle that he walked the tightrope from the border of Forbidden City to that point so he told us to be satisfied that he came back alive after seeing the depravity of his youth.”

    “Ha ugly….”

    Lennok who was frowning also laughed a little at those words.

    It seems that even the proud chairman of a cartel is not happy about his immature and ignorant past.

    I didn’t expect the real-life Oliveira to explain everything so well.

    The reason Oliveira of the past showed her memories to Lennok and cooperated with him was because she knew that her time was running out.

    The woman who cooperated with Lennok in the disconnected time and space and the real-life Oliveira who reigned as the chairman of the cartel were completely different beings.

    ‘You probably had an idea of ​​how your past self would react in that situation…’

    Does Oliveira know that her past self showed her memories to Lennok?

    The meaning of the name Black Consumer Project. Until Kaise and Alkaid meet and come up with a new plan and build a city to become the cradle of their huge dreams.

    Did he realize that he had opened those memories himself and faced Lennok?

    Lennok thought it might be so.

    ‘Oliviera of the past seemed to have awakened the Seven Chaebo’s magical eyes and recognized her future self. Then vice versa.’

    The magical eye of the seven treasures that has the power to intervene in cause and effect.

    Lennok still didn’t know how far the power of the eye reached but at least it was clear that the scenery the magical eye was looking at was not limited by time and space.

    There must be a good reason why he temporarily put down Light Magic when he reached level 8 and switched to Magic Eyes.

    It is still unknown what Oliveira wants and wishes after the Black Consumer project failed and Kaise died.

    However at least at this point it seemed clear that Oliveira’s answer was an indirect statement that he was still not free from the influence of the ban.

    “Ah it looks like the planning office has come to a conclusion regarding Machina’s ticket.”

    Virgil frowned faintly as he checked his email on the laptop on his office desk.

    “Yeah… I was able to get a ticket…”

    “I saved it?”

    “They say there’s a high possibility that we won’t be able to penetrate deep into the center of the Machine City with this alone.”

    “What does that mean?”

    In response to Lennok’s rebuttal Virgil explained again only after reading and fully understanding the passage written in the email.

    “The machine city’s security barrier is updated every quarter and changes patterns but it seems that once issued tickets are not renewed periodically they become ineffective.”

    “It’s an update….”

    “The areas on the outskirts of the Machine City are relatively slow to update for outsiders but the special districts in the heart of the city are thorough.”

    I thought it would be difficult to fill up after the first drink but the difficulty was not that easy.

    Unless you have an official ticket issued by Machine City it is bound to be difficult to sneak in.

    Lennok who was worried asked.

    “Could you tell me more about how to update my tickets?”

    “They say they create a random variable by modifying the password pattern embedded in the ticket. “It seems that the specific method itself has not been made public.”

    Virgil who had received a response back from the planning office to Lennok’s words responded.

    “It creates variables by modifying the built-in password pattern. “There is an answer there.”

    Lennok’s eyes shined brightly as he thought deeply.

    Even if it was impossible alone there was a way to do it if you borrowed Dabi’s power.

    “By comparing the patterns of two different tickets you can guess the password pattern used to create variables. Then you can renew your ticket without getting permission from the Machine City.”

    “…Was it as easy as it sounds?”

    Virgil who responded as if it were absurd shook his head.

    “I’m sorry but we only have one ticket at headquarters. “It is also an item extracted from the ticket that was engraved on the body of the third president Kansoa who passed away last time.”

    “….”

    Does this mean that one more ticket is needed to compare and update the ticket’s password pattern?

    The only way to do that is to go around and inquire about organizations other than the cartel.

    “I get it. “Then let’s get Kansoa’s tickets first.”

    As Lennok thought that he was about to stand up when Virgil grabbed him from the side and stopped him.

    “Oh and this is another agenda item but I think I should tell you in advance.”

    “what?”

    “While you were staying in the closed area there were several serious clashes between our agents and our agents.”

    “….”

    “I understand that you are also an external advisor to the agent. “I really want to hear your opinion on this agenda.”

    Beep!!

    The screen on the wall of the president’s office came down and began to project several photographs as three-dimensional holograms.

    The factory branch was attacked and left in ruins. A high-rise building that was shattered and snapped in half. In addition workplaces have been reduced to rubble.

    In the photo as if to add an explanation there was a category of business that was attacked and a photo of the agent’s agents.

    “You know that cartel subsidiaries carry out various businesses simultaneously right?”

    Virgil said.

    “Among them the agents are selecting businesses that are particularly profitable and keeping them in check. “It’s a completely different move than before.”

    “Are you asking me to tell you about the agent’s internal movements?”

    “It can’t be. “I know you had no involvement in this matter.”

    Virgil smiled and shook his head at Lennok’s words.

    “There is no possibility that the wizard who was trapped in the closed area for several days had a hand in it in the first place.”

    “then?”

    “The headquarters’ strategy office understands that the fundamental problem of this situation is the reorganization of the agent leadership.”

    Tidig!!

    The image of an elderly woman appears on the screen. Although he has a lot of white hair his sharp and dark eyebrows are impressive.

    “Agent Director Greta Witherhild. He had been missing for quite some time but he officially returned to his position as director not long ago. “As soon as she returned the agent’s tone began to completely change.”

    Virgil continued to flick through the remote control resting one arm comfortably on the sofa.

    “We are arresting and weeding out unauthorized businesses in outlying areas with a very aggressive and hard-line attitude. “In the process they are indiscriminately touching not only us but other organizations as well.”

    The raid area and agents appear on the screen one after another. Finally the video recording of the attack began to play.

    Agents wearing black suits similar to Evelyn’s with their eyes glowing in the dark quickly infiltrate the factory area.

    As soon as Virgil stopped the screen the screen zoomed in to see the glare falling from the agents’ eyes.

    At the same time quantified data measuring the magic power density of the eye light and the speed of the internal flow appeared on the side of the screen.

    Lennok also looked at the data and his eyes lit up quietly.

    “Level 5 or higher. The instantaneous output itself was close to level 6.”

    “Not only has the field agents been greatly reorganized but the overall skills and level of the existing agents have also increased significantly.”

    Virgil explained.

    “It’s definitely Greta’s handiwork. I don’t know what kind of training they are doing but each individual’s combat ability and organizational skills are at a level that cannot be compared to before. “At present among all the special agencies operating in the shadows it is one of the top three.”

    Originally the agent had a reputation as the only special agency capable of intervening in secret areas during the time when prohibition laws existed.

    At the same time as the ordinance was lifted other special agencies began to intervene in secret areas making its position precarious.

    Does this mean that the atmosphere of the organization has changed significantly as soon as the director returns and at the same time they are actively putting pressure on under-the-radar projects?

    “What do you want to say?”

    Lennok asked.

    “Do you want to ask me to help prevent agents from being checked?”

    “No quite the opposite.”

    Virgil said that and laughed.

    “It doesn’t matter if I don’t perform my duties as an external advisor to the headquarters. “Instead I hope that there will be no help from the agent side.”

    “…what?”

    “I’ll give you whatever you want in exchange for not getting involved in this matter. “Some of the cartel’s business or shares may be transferred to that distribution company.”

    “I’m not asking for help I’m offering to pay you for doing nothing.”

    Lennok smiled bitterly.

    “I know what you’re thinking. “Do you think this situation is that important?”

    “of course.”

    Virgil nodded without the slightest hesitation.

    “On-site matters will be handled by the directors at headquarters. “What I have to worry about is strategic variables that can turn the situation around.”

    An all-out conflict between the two organizations for which Lennok serves as an external advisor.

    However Virgil was more worried that Lennok would intervene and change the situation rather than the agents of the agent he had to deal with right away.

    Virgil’s blatant words and actions make him more worried about the possibility of turning Lennok into an enemy than receiving help.

    There was no need to ask how much this vampire was secretly wary of Lennok and thought he was dangerous.

    “I can’t give you a definite answer. “In the first place either party has no regrets about being an external advisor.”

    Lennok also stood up and followed Virgil.

    Lennok took back the coat he had put down for a moment and glanced away.

    “If the agent side’s power had been strengthened the cartel’s force alone would not have been enough. “Hasn’t the number of presidents already decreased by one?”

    “Oh don’t worry about that.”

    Virgil smiled and snapped his fingers and the screen that had been turned off immediately turned on again and began to show a completely different scene.

    “While you were away at work we scouted three more presidents with formal approval from the president.”

    “…You increased the number of presidents by three more?”

    The cartel’s presidents are powerful people all of whom are high-ranking superhumans of level 7 or higher.

    Moreover Oliveira is a superman with a fastidious eye who never lets anyone into the company of presidents unless he is directly related to him.

    In the past while trying to scout for a new president there was a conflict with Lennok and the situation ended like that.

    It was quite unexpected in the conservative cartel that three more people passed such strict standards and became members of the CEO team.

    At that moment the screen on the wall of the president’s office changed and began to be converted to real-time broadcasting.

    Faaah!!

    Inside the dark conveyor belt factory room without a single light.

    Someone was moving slowly beyond the camera shining in the darkness.

    [Virgil. The agent is moving first.]

    A somewhat languid yet clearly pronounced voice.

    [If it is delayed any longer this business will have to be completely abandoned. Are you planning to hand over leadership to that grumpy old lady?]

    With the sound of a camera moving the screen turns and shows a man.

    Thick horn-rimmed glasses and short hair.

    Contrary to his neat and tidy appearance his face was covered in blood that was unknown to whom it belonged.

    The man held the camera screen close to his face and grinned as if he had finally remembered something.

    [Was this temptation too strong for our vampire boss?]

    “Don’t talk nonsense and focus on the scene. J. Rock.”

    Virgil answered in a cold voice.

    “We are currently discussing the situation with Gorye. “I would have said on the spot that I would leave the judgment up to them.”

    [Fast? Oh I see. you….]

    The eyes of the young man called Jayrock seemed to roll around and then turned to Lennok who was standing next to Virgil.

    He looked at Lennok deeply with interest then narrowed his eyes and looked away.

    Kaaang!!

    The moment J-Rock lifted the baton in his hand it collided with someone who appeared in the dark scattering sparks.

    Agent’s black suit. J. Rock who clashed with an opponent with flowing silver-white hair responded calmly while shaking the camera.

    [I heard there was a monster who refused to be president and remained an external advisor so I wanted to see his face at least once.]

    “Another pointless nonsense….”

    While Virgil was sighing the other agent’s gaze which recognized the presence of the camera was sharp and murderous.

    [Oh my are you taking pictures of this place right now?]

    Suddenly!!

    The agent slyly opened his mouth and held out his hand at the same time. The camera screen that J. Rock was holding went completely black.

    [The face cannot be shown. Please understand. My son playing at home would be freaked out if he saw it.]

    The sound that was barely audible along with the voice was completely extinguished.

    Virgil sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in silence.

    “Perhaps because he was a special mercenary who was active on the central front not long ago his opinion is quite strong. “I’ll tell you to be more careful about what you say later.”

    “He is a special mercenary of the Central Front….”

    “It is said that as the front went into a lull it started flowing into the eastern continent. There is also a story that he was on the verge of signing an executive contract with Deadrise…”

    “….”

    Virgil who did not understand Lennok’s silence continued speaking casually.

    “It seems like he left because he didn’t like the atmosphere there.”

    “I see.”

    “He is picky but his skills are certain. Perhaps because he spent a long time at the front line he was very familiar with the mercenary industry on the continent.”

    Virgil said that turned off the lights in the president’s office took his coat and prepared to leave.

    Are you planning on leaving work as soon as you finish your meeting with Lennok?

    “Before they left the front I heard they were looking for a special type magician named Victor but seeing as they made it all the way to the Balkans it looks like it may not have worked out well.”

    “…Victor?”

    “okay. “Do you even know?”

    Virgil said that and naturally opened the door to the president’s office and walked out into the hallway.

    “They say he is a space-type magician with a very arrogant personality. He is a new member of Pandemonium and the Order Federation seems to be watching his presence with interest.”

    “….”

    “Thanks to this the mercenaries received an unexpected request for a job and I heard that J-Rac was also doing similar work.”

    I’ve never heard that the Order Federation is looking for Victor.

    Well it’s been quite a while since I last had contact with Pandemonium.

    Is it time to visit the cathedral where the little Hilea resides and listen to what’s going on there?

    “Of the other CEOs one was recruited from outside with J-Roc and the other was officially promoted by the board of directors. If I get a chance I’ll introduce you later-”

    Sigh!!

    A cold wind passes by my spine. Immediately after Virgil stopped talking.

    Lennok and Virgil’s eyes turned almost simultaneously to the window of the unlit office.

    The night sky still shows nothing.

    However the two superhuman senses were clearly aware of the presence rushing toward the cartel headquarters from beyond.

    The roar of an anti-gravity engine echoes faintly beyond the dark cloudy sky.

    Immediately after dozens of transport ships flew through the air surrounding the cartel headquarters where the lights were turned off.

    Dozens of people who fell from beyond the transport ship jump without hesitation between the cartel’s high-rise buildings and disappear.

    Superhumans in black suits look sharply into the dark unlit CEO’s office.

    The appearance was very similar to the person’s appearance that had been seen on J-Roc’s screen just a moment ago.

    Lennok looked at the scene and muttered quietly.

    “… When you said that there was a dispute with the agent were you talking about an all-out war?”

    Special agency agent.

    They said they had completely reorganized the force itself under the leadership of a new director.

    They began attempting direct assaults on the cartel’s headquarters.
