Drug-Eating Genius Mage - Chapter 192

“This… … .”

“A list of city council members suspected of accepting money from the cartel.

Even though it wanders around during the election season, after a gentle agreement between lawmakers, it disappears without even knowing it. take it.”

Saying that, Evelyn leaned back in her chair.

“If you have the skills and personal connections of that broker, you will be able to track where the cartel’s money flows with this amount of data.”

“… … You are in debt.”

As Evelyn said, it is highly likely that it will be quite important information about which city councilors the cartel mainly pays.

As each member of the city council is in charge of different districts, the field in which each member of the council is well versed is also different.

In other words, you will be able to see where the cartel is operating and where it is investing intensively and trying to avoid regulations.

This is the only thing that immediately reminds me of Lennok, so it goes without saying how well Jenny will be able to use these materials if she gets her hands on them.

The fact that she handed over these materials that were secretly circulating among city council members was, in effect, Evelyn giving Lennok a hand.

If this data leaked outside, Evelyn would be the first person to be suspected.

I could imagine how determined she was to bring Lennok to this spot.

“The reason I’m doing this isn’t because I want half of you to end the cartel.”

Evelyn said.

“Do it in moderation. instead of being efficient. It means to end it in moderation on the line of establishing a seat. okay?”

I understand what she is saying.

Even if Lennok and Jenny win against the cartel, it is impossible to immediately replace the empty seat of the cartel.

Evelyn hopes that Lennok will reap moderate profits from the dispute with the cartel and end up on the side of infiltrating the underground business structure.

But instead of giving a confirmation, Lennok smiled faintly.

“well… … It depends on how you get out of there.”

Although he knew how powerful and massive the cartel was, Lennok was confident.

In the end, it is decided which side will suffer more damage if it flows into an armed confrontation.

And Lennok had a knack for getting things done faster and more efficiently than anyone else.

After Lennok returned to the bar, Jenny immediately went into action.

Repairing and restoring a destroyed building is not so difficult in a world where magic lives and breathes.

After calling contractors and restoring the building to its original state in one day, she immediately began preparing for further raids by the cartel.

By mobilizing the connections she knew, she started recruiting security guards to protect the bar and now the office building.

It took less than half a day for more than thirty mercenaries to settle down on the streets of District 49.

“You just have to work until you deal with the cartel. I took plenty of time.”

Jenny said that and smiled at the mercenary in front of her eyes.

“I’ll pay you hefty, so please work until your bones fall out.”

“This is so… … I never imagined I would be hired by them in this way.”

The man who was listening to her smiled bitterly.

A tall man with broad shoulders. A mature man with strong muscles and calm eyes.

Dray Creamgal looked down at Jenny and nodded.

“What good. As we owe the half-mage-sama, let’s take responsibility and escort this time.”

The Krimgal Mercenary Office, which accompanied Lennok on a quest to subdue the scavengers.

Jenny scouted all the power of the Krimgal Mercenary Office, including Dray Krimgal, and put it into the task of protecting the office building.

“Wizard, long time no see. It’s the first time since the witch doctor’s case last time.”

“I think my complexion has improved since then. It looks like you’ve regained your health.”

Dray, who exchanged greetings lightly with Lennok, grinned at that.

“There is such a thing, and our office is doing pretty well lately. When the situation stabilizes, more power than now will be available. It will definitely be different from when I was with the little kids.”

“Chief little boy, did you think of us that way up until now?”

“Don’t you know that if you ignore the founders, you’ll get stabbed in the back?”

At those words, the bespectacled woman Kidel and the bald giant Ike, who were standing behind, grumbled.

As the three of them chatted amicably, another approached Lennok.

“Wizard.”

“… … Wei An?”

“long time no see.”

Saying that, Wei An’s grinning appearance was clearly different from Lennok’s memory, incomparably.

Almost all of his clumsy appearance, which blurred the line between boy and young man, has disappeared and he has grown much taller.

His face is also much more mature, and he appears to be a young man of about the same age as Lennok.

In addition, the magical aura that was wrapped around him was sharp enough to make even Lennok see him again.

If it weren’t for the two tonfas he wore around his waist, he wouldn’t even recognize him.

As if understanding Lennok’s reaction, Wei An bowed and shook hands politely.

Lennok accepted the handshake with a trembling expression.

“… … He really grew up. Did kids grow up this fast?”

“It would have been impossible without the help of the wizard.”

“… … .”

The tone itself was not that different from before, but Wei An’s attitude was as polite as serving a teacher.

In addition, the prayers flowing from his body are neat enough to remind one of a martial artist.

Wei An said with a firm expression, not caring about Lennok’s attitude.

“I am not a ungrateful person. As much as the wizard helped us, I will help the wizard with his business.”

“… … Thank you.”

“I want you to leave it to me. If there is anything I need to do, tell me anything.”

After saying that, Dray giggled as he watched Wayan disappear, saying he would go out on patrol outside the bar.

“I thought the wizard wouldn’t even notice.”

“Am I not weird?”

“of course. Isn’t it strange that he grows so tall even after turning 20? I whined about being sick for a while, and then in a week or so, I grew taller.”

As Dray said that, he looked at Wei An’s back with a somewhat pleased expression.

“I don’t know why, but Wei An’s skills have grown as much as his height. You might be more surprised than now to see him at work.”

According to him, growth in physique is also growth, but as Wei An himself refined his mana manipulation ability, his fighting ability rose rapidly.

It is said that he has grown incomparably with his former career and skills, and is currently playing the role of an overwhelming ace in the Krimgal Mercenary Office.

Dray spoke casually about the fact that there were a lot of scouting inquiries about Wei An from other offices and organizations.

“Nowadays, instead of simply fighting ability, they are teaching how to judge the situation and command an organization. I don’t know how long he’ll be working in my office, but that’s the only thing I can help him with.”

As a former soldier, Dray also possesses basic combat power and various abilities, but if he can say that, it seems that Wei An has really rapidly improved his skills.

Lennok listened to him in silence, then realized why he felt awkward about Wei An’s growth, and smiled.

There are quite a few people who have made a connection while doing freelance work, but most of them have already been completed in terms of skills or have established their own style.

It was the first time I had ever seen someone else grow or grow in fame like this.

Those who had the potential but lacked the immediate skills often died mercilessly on this floor.

“… … .”

Lennok watched in silence as Dray started plotting a patrol route while discussing various situations with his mercenaries.

They are the ones who rushed to help Lennok even after hearing that they were turning the cartel into an enemy.

I didn’t think that a relationship made simply through work would lead to this point, but it wasn’t such a bad feeling.

After all, I knew that in order to go higher in this distance, I needed a relationship that was more than just profit and loss.

Dray knew that too, so he must have decided to raise Lennok’s hand without hesitation.

If so, Lennok also needed to come up with a result worthy of it.

“Come over here for a second.”

While he was lost in thought, Jenny gestured toward Lennok from inside the bar.

Lennok, who glanced at the mercenaries in discussion with a serious face in front of the bar, headed inside the bar, and Jenny dragged him to the office.

“What is going on?”

“If we cannot avoid fighting the cartel, we should prepare in advance. I’ve been calling all over the place because of that.”

“Did you call other people besides the Krimgal Mercenary Office?”

“hmm… … Let’s go in and talk.”

As Jenny said that, she pushed Lennok into the office.

As soon as he entered the room, Lennok saw an extraordinary sight.

“purr… … !!”

Dduduk!

It was because the two beasts, over 2m tall, were sitting still and facing each other.

“… … .”

A werewolf with a long snout and a huge bird-headed giant with an impressive sharp beak of an eagle.

Jenny’s office was by no means cramped, but with the two animals still staring at each other, it seemed that the office had no room to breathe.

As Lennok entered the room, the eyes of the two beasts were simultaneously directed towards it.

“Oh Van! Welcome.”

“Long time no see. How are you?”

The two beasts waving at Lennok at almost the same time. And again, at the same time, they glared hard at each other.

The sight of a wolf and a bird having a war of nerves in one place feels bizarre, but the fact that Lennok recognizes both of them is even more awkward.

That was proof that Lennok had done a lot on this street.

Lennok, sighing and choosing a chair to sit on, looked at Jenny and asked.

“Did you bring in both Dyke and Antares?”

The head of the bodyguard at Dyke Corporation. Werewolf Killian and Felix, the bird-headed giant of the Antares Mercenary Corps.

In the first place, he had a very good memory, and the appearance of the two beasts was so impressive that Lennok immediately remembered their faces.

“Killian, why are you needlessly transforming?”

At Lennok’s words, the wolf scratched its chin with an embarrassed expression.

“No, I entered the room and that bird had transformed first.”

“For me, this is a transformation into my true self, and I have nothing to do while sleeping.”

Felix replied in a solemn voice with his arms crossed. Killian clicked his tongue and turned his head away.

In an instant, he returned to the form of a green-haired young man and said looking at Lennok.

“I just heard the story. Are you trying to fight the cartel?”

As he said that, he bared his teeth and grinned.

“Panoa asked me to say hello. Instead, he sent me, so let’s do well together this time.”

“… … What, is that already over?”

“of course. From our point of view, who were doing business in Yangji in the first place, it would be much better to help you and share a pie than to part with people like the cartel… … Hmmm, that’s how it is.”

“… … .”

Lennok smiled at the words of Killian who slightly averted his gaze.

I think I know roughly what you’re thinking, but it wasn’t too bad from this side’s point of view.

I never thought that Jenny would have asked Dyke for cooperation, but I was surprised that Dyke accepted the offer with a snap.

But I kind of understand.

It is highly likely that Jenny’s existing connections are already intertwined with the cartel and will not move easily.

That’s why Jenny turned to contact people who had flowed into this street from the Yangji side or to organizations that were completely alien to these interests.

Perhaps the Antares Mercenary Corps is part of that.

“Felix. That too?”

“… … I have come in person to discuss the matter.”

After answering in a serious voice, he cleared his throat and glanced down at Killian.

“Because we have a different business situation from businesses.”

“What you looking at?”

“… … .”

It is quite impressive to see the races fighting each other as if they are breathing.

Felix also seemed to have a calm and serious personality when we first met, but it was surprising that he seemed to be so heated up.

“Of course, I appreciate Jenny’s consideration for not contacting Dylan or Mila first. If it’s those two, regardless of the position of the mercenaries, I’ll accept the request in a hurry… … .”

Lennok listened to that and leaned back in his chair.

“In other words, you came in person to discuss the seriousness of dealing with the cartel.”

“That’s correct. If I had to add a comment, it’s more like a refusal… … .”

“I want to make a deal.”

said Jenny, who was standing behind Lennok.

“This man came to present conditions to us as Acting Authority of Antares from the beginning.”

“You saw it correctly.”

Felix’s eyes sank deeply.

“The Antares mercenaries are willing to cooperate with you at any time depending on the situation.”
