Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 99



Settlement (1)

“I told you that pointless puns are just meaningless but…”

“Wooshin. “Even if we hand over something to them I don’t think they even know it’s real data.”

As Hina said that she slowly placed her hand on her waist.

“I wanted to move on smoothly but if you interfere with the operation of this organization…”

The air that had been loose somewhere became tense and the people lined up facing each other silently picked up their weapons.

Lennok slowly checked his body feeling the heat of magic slowly rising around him.

‘Although the magical power has been restored to some extent… the condition is not right.’

Although he was not directly injured he sacrificed many things in order to be able to carry out the operation with his body intact.

During the operation my legs were strengthened with magical power so my mana addiction returned.

Add to that the side effects of the feather pole and all the veins in my legs exploded leaving me full of bruises.

Lennok took out a recovery potion from his arms.

A headlock treatment that I received as a gift from Dray.

The taste is truly nauseating but I feel like it is actually beneficial to my health.

It was his second time taking it but Lennok had already prepared himself for the strange disgust.

Just think of it as a health supplement. Wouldn’t it taste like this if you chewed the nutritional supplement?

“…Wooow.”

I tried self-suggestion but it didn’t help much.

Taking these medications in advance is not to see immediate results but to take care of your body in the long run.

It seemed like there would be no time to eat at least not right now before the battle.

Lennok who had finished preparing also slowly raised his magic power.

Slowly step by step.

But not until you can overpower everyone else in the room.

Woooooooooooo!!!

“……!!!”

Low-level freelancers just frown at the strange pressure weighing on their shoulders.

However it was natural that the expressions of those who recognized the true value of the magical power contained in that pressure changed completely.

After crossing the line of fire at the forefront of the battlefield several times Lennok’s magical power begins to be mixed with intentions beyond simple survival.

It is not simply the embodiment of a base murderous intent to kill the other person.

A strong desire for one’s own victory. So much so that Lennok’s confidence can be clearly conveyed to others who feel the force of that magical power.

The will he exerted transcended the level of ordinary thoughts.

“stop.”

What poured cold water into the atmosphere that was on the verge of conflict was a voice that felt relaxed yet somehow cold.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the short-haired woman who came forward surpassing the forces of both sides.

Although it has a brightly smiling face its expression is somewhat stiff.

Lennok frowned slightly as he realized that the face was still in his memory.

A member of the Plato mercenary office who came to the headquarters and met Lennok at the time of Dyke Corporation’s request.

Was it called Nicole?

It was only after seeing Maoren’s face coming out from behind that Lennok realized that the Plato mercenary office had gotten involved in this matter.

Nicole calmly looked around at the people gathered around her and shook her head.

“We’ll stop here.”

“what? “What do you mean?”

Nicole said with a smile at Manson’s words.

“There was talk about robbing a terrorist organization’s treasury but there was no mention of having to deal with that wizard right? “This is different from the contract terms.”

Wooshin asked back as if he couldn’t believe it.

“wizard? A wizard? “Are you saying you’re going to leave this operation just because of that skinny heavy smoker?”

“is it so.”

When Nicole nodded the mood in the crowd changed strangely.

What she said made it sound as if she thought it was more dangerous to turn Lennok into an enemy than the agent.

“I guess you promised to notify us in advance if there is anything that could harm this office in any way?”

“……”

“I knew I could run into enforcers but there was no mention of that wizard.”

Everyone here knew that Nicole was using formal regulations as an excuse to quibble.

How many clients would be able to fully abide by such provisions in these streets where people are dying every day?

But people took it differently.

Nicole thought that she had to escape from the wizard in front of her even if it meant making unnecessary excuses.

That’s how much he realized that she thought highly of Lennok.

The crack was momentary.

As soon as Nicole turned her head Maoren grinned and followed her.

At the same time nearly ten of those standing behind Manson and Wooshin followed Nicole.

Chen who was looking at the mercenaries moving away with a bewildered expression shook his head.

“…..It’s not something I should worry about but you’re crazy. “Is it okay to blatantly break a contract with a senator like that?”

“no. “She made a reasonable decision.”

“what?”

“In a way you could say that information is fast. That’s why I made a suitable excuse and avoided this place. “I’ve realized that there’s nothing to be gained by hanging out here any longer.”

“What do you mean…”

At Chen’s words Hina smiled softly and took something out of her arms and showed it to Chen and Lennok.

A palm-sized tablet was streaming news with the word “Breaking News” written in large letters.

[Senator Reisen Azamaha who had been claiming to be the city council’s spokesperson was indicted on charges of hiding hundreds of billions of dollars in slush funds. Currently the Board of Audit and Inspection claims to have secured concrete evidence and has issued an arrest warrant based on this. Please check the video for more details.]

Immediately after that Eveline Marcia appears on the screen.

Her expression was overflowing with sharp anticipation as she walked into the city council dressed in a well-fitting suit and accompanied by dozens of agents.

The crucial reason why she could not appear in the final operation to subdue Craig.

As soon as the operation was over she also went out of her way to negotiate with Senator Reisen.

Has this side not even arrived in the Balkans yet and they have already started betting?

It was clearly Evelyn’s initiative but it was too early to call Reisen first when the database extracted from Craig was not properly delivered.

Considering what she has done so far if there is no clear chance of victory…

‘I see.’

Lennok thought about that and raised his head.

Hina was smiling with confidence as she looked at Lennok.

“The contents of the database were sent to Evelyn. Did you find the slush fund statement there?”

“you’re right.”

She nodded.

“Chaysha’s bazooka has powerful performance comparable to that of a supercomputer. A normal communication device wouldn’t be able to reach the city from this distance but hers is different. “The moment I left the work site the data was already extracted and transmitted.”

For some reason even after being overtaken by Reisen’s freelancers I felt like my attitude was too relaxed but maybe it was because I had already finished everything I had to do.

The people over there must have heard the news too late and the faces of Manson and Wooshin had also changed strangely.

“I am going back to the Balkans right now. “This is not the time.”

When Wooshin spoke with all smiles on his face Manson shook his head hesitantly.

“Uh… then the contract ends here. Remuneration must be sent. “Looking at it that old man doesn’t seem like he’s going to be like that.”

“……..”

Wooshin’s expression was distorted when he realized that even Manson who had gone crazy had quickly cut his losses but he turned around without saying anything.

It was natural that he a member of the secretary’s office who directly served Reisen and Manson who was simply an employee had different positions.

At the same time as Wooshin disappeared Manson looked at Lennok and shrugged his shoulders comically.

“That’s how it is. “I was planning to take this opportunity to collect the repair costs for destroying my body…”

“I’m sorry.”

“This is why I shouldn’t get involved with old people on the city council. “Why can’t you trust and lend a hand to these guys who never know when they’ll get hooked?”

After saying that he lowered his head and turned away.

“I thought it would be the first time in a while that I had fun with this body but I lost all my excitement.”

“……..”

That attitude of pursuing interest rather than profit as a freelancer is also not normal.

Unlike Lennok who is reluctant to move unless necessary he is an extremely spontaneous type.

“Well apart from that I guess I’ll have to talk to you. Did you say Jenny? “I’ll go to that bar later so prepare some good whiskey.”

“…If I pour alcohol on that head will I get drunk?”

In response to Lennok’s hesitant response Manson tilted his head crookedly and quickly walked away.

Even with that mental head he was able to lead other freelancers and the others also followed him.

Only after all the jeeps on the vast plateau had disappeared did Chen sigh.

“Damn it. I don’t know how far I’ve come while trying to raise money for a start-up. “When I fought that terrorist I really thought I was going to die.”

“It was not an easy opponent.”

“You shouldn’t even come here for a while. “The money will be paid as promised right?”

Hina smiled at Chen’s words.

“Once Reisen’s slush fund is split there will be quite a bit of money here too.”

It was the brightest smile I’ve ever seen.

“You can look forward to it.”

It is unfortunate that those who lost their lives during the operation cannot survive for long if they do not let go of their regrets through mourning and commemoration.

Lennok looked back in silence leaving his colleagues excited in anticipation of the reward.

The sky at the labor yard which was full of black curtains and dark clouds had suddenly cleared to reveal a bright blue sky.

He left behind all the fear and despair he felt the moment he first opened his eyes in an unfamiliar factory.

Is it coincidence or fate that I am now able to return there and complete a task?

“…..hmm.”

It doesn’t matter either way.

This determination to survive was solely Lennok’s.

Although there remain unresolved secrets and unresolved circumstances Lennok will continue to move forward leaving behind the illusion that holds him back.

That was the only thing I could promise myself.
