Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 157
“Due to the unique topography of the Dominion and the location of the iconic ‘lighthouse’, it is a place where various environments have been magically created from the beginning.”
said Jordan, looking at the screen.
“The best environment for growing various medicinal herbs. And it’s a place with the best location conditions to store the medicinal herbs that grew up like that. It wasn’t surprising.”
“Can we assume that the pandemonium’s reach extends to the Dominion?”
“It’s not as simple as thinking about it.”
Jenny answered.
“The members of Pandemonium are famous for not caring too much about each other. Not to mention, Juice Master is a newcomer who only recently joined the gang of monsters… This warehouse must be a hidden secret store created by a drug lord with only his own base.”
“I’m curious about the means by which you obtained the information. How did you find the location of the safe when even the drug lord’s whereabouts are not revealed?”
“It’s rather easy once you know that he’s starting to have enemies in the Republic.”
At Lennox’s words, Jenny smiled triumphantly.
“No matter how secretly he moves, he has to leave traces everywhere to keep his business going.”
Lennok smiled as he watched her make a coin shape by connecting his thumb and forefinger.
“You bribed the drug lord’s subordinates.”
“To be precise, the corrupt bureaucrats of the Republic. I picked those who weren’t too afraid of the drug lord yet, but on the contrary, were easy to get their hands on the information he had. Furthermore, the Republic of Paraguinea is one of the most underdeveloped countries on the continent. Because I was coaxed out with money, they came over very easily.”
said Jenny.
“It’s not that I’m asking you to steal information, it’s that I want you to check the location of the safe and tell this side… And since this side also bypassed the deep web dozens of times, it’s hard for Ali to know that the location of the safe has been leaked from the other side. It took a little while to finish, but the security will be perfect.”
Was it all for this kind of operation that the time was delayed a little?
Even Lennok couldn’t help but admire her way of doing things.
“That’s great.”
It is amazing to find the drug lord’s whereabouts at the point where there are no clues, but the know-how of tracing his surroundings in reverse, bribing the officials and exquisitely stealing only the location of the safe is impressive.
Even all of this had to be conducted indirectly over the monitor, bypassing the deep web, so the difficulty would be immeasurable.
Juice Master’s notoriety. Jenny’s ability to prepare for the risk and produce successful results despite knowing her cruel nature was truly outstanding.
Experience accumulated over a long period of broker life and innate judgment and intuition. And it must have been the result of that bold temperament that spares no money and adventures at the moment of need.
“You are in debt.”
Lennok spoke candidly about his feelings.
I wasn’t stupid enough to not know that if I didn’t make sure these deals were going to get into trouble someday.
“You don’t have to say that.”
Jenny replied with a grin.
“Because I’m going to take off the commission again later. Please know in advance.”
That didn’t sound like a joke, and Lennok burst into laughter.
“As soon as we achieved results, I called Ban and gave you a briefing. It takes one day to organize the information you have obtained and secure the route to the Dominion, so organize what you have been doing up until then.”
Jenny covered the laptop and said.
“I only took superficial information that the safe is in the Philenom Dominion, but in the end, you will have to do it yourself on the spot to find out the specific location.”
“It’s like a business trip where you don’t know when you’ll be back.”
Lennok, who had packed his coat, nodded as he stood up.
“That’s enough. I am waiting for your contact.”
Lennok was about to leave the bar, leaving behind a tired-looking Jenny, but Jordon stopped him.
“Can I talk to you for a second?”
“Sure.”
The two smoked cigarettes side by side with an empty bar between them.
After biting into the double scarlet that Lennok had handed to him and turning on the light, Jordan coughed slightly and laughed awkwardly.
“I’m sorry. It’s been a while since I quit smoking.”
“it’s okay.”
Jordan’s behavior is very different from usual.
It’s probably because he’s quite worried about this.
And Lennok had a rough idea that the reaction had something to do with his circumstances.
said Jordan, who skillfully cleared the smoke before long.
“I said that, but it won’t be over in one day.”
“……….”
“Excluding the time to do other things, I was holding on to the Deep Web all day and sending calls to the Republic, so I must be very tired.”
“I know.”
Lennok replied.
The moment she found out that Malaveth was in the Dominion of Philenom, Jenny had done everything she could.
From now on, it was definitely Lennok’s responsibility.
It was something he had to do in the first place, so Lennok had no intention of overtaxing her any more.
It takes a little time to completely assemble and adjust the archangel’s compassion obtained from the battle with the exploration team.
It was just a matter of Jenny handing over the data while adding some of the artifact’s abilities to the power in the analysis.
Hearing Lennok’s answer, Jordan laughed weakly.
“Yeah… you always excel at that. Being able to tell the truth out of just a few words is undoubtedly a valuable quality.”
“Not that grandiose…”
“That’s why I can understand why Jenny is expecting and investing in you.”
“………”
“As it becomes known that you have more than just freelance powers, more and more people will associate that unusual talent with Kaise’s name. Working alongside Kaise’s blood kin has no choice but to have that meaning after all.”
Jordan put Lennok on the shoulder.
It didn’t happen that the shield bounced off his hand.
“So make your decision after you return from the Dominion.”
“What decision do you mean?”
“Jenny is trying to conceive of a whole new business with you at the forefront. It will probably change the game of this street with a high probability. Those who remember Kaise’s name will be more resentful of her decision than welcome.”
it’s business Hearing the words he couldn’t let go, Lennok’s eyes also cooled.
Everything is bound to change little by little, and this life does not always go on its own.
In the end, someone had to make a decision to become something more than a simple freelancer on this shady street.
It was as if Jordan had presented a turning point to Lennok.
