Medicine (3)
“………..”
A drug lord.
Surprisingly, I remember hearing this name before Lenok.
Paul Ackerman, a drug dealer who was funding a cigar-bang gang in the process of collaborating with Dyke Enterprises.
Wasn’t he one of the drug lord’s henchmen and one of the drug dealers who were spreading their influence in the Balkans?
He solved the problem by killing the vampire prosecutor Jude Russell who was escorting him together in the harbor, but the stories he heard about Dominic Cavaro at that time still left an impression.
No, the reason why that name remains in Lennok’s memory… is probably because he is one of the newly incorporated members of the pandemonium.
“Juice Master…..”
[Do you know him?]
After confirming Lennok’s reaction, the medicine line lit up his eyes.
But instead of responding immediately, Lennok stared blankly at her.
She tried to hide it with a calm expression, but now she was talking about the drug lord, and her gaze was darker than ever.
Confirming the emotion in that gaze, Lennok had no choice but to ask her sincerity.
“Do you want me to kill the drug lord?”
[………]
Yakseon was silent.
That alone was already enough of an answer.
Lennok rose from his seat.
“It’s a story that doesn’t make sense.”
Assassinate a drug lord in exchange for medical treatment?
Considering the strength Lennok had built up now, I don’t think it would be impossible if it wasn’t a head-on confrontation, but it was never something to be taken for granted.
The opponent is a member of the pandemonium.
Aside from the ability and background of the drug lord himself, I can’t imagine how many people will protect the wealthy merchant.
What should I do with the chaos and the aftermath that will occur when the drug lord who distributes all the drugs on the continent dies?
Unless you were absolutely certain that you could completely hide your identity and kill a mouse bird without even knowing it, you shouldn’t even try.
Yakseon quickly agreed.
[Sorry. I made a little mistake. Please have a seat.]
“………”
Lennok ignored her words and looked down at the medicine ship with narrowed eyes.
Yakseon calmed down and spoke in a calm tone.
[He came to me in the past when I was working in this city.]
“………”
[He said that the medicine I possess would be of great help to his business. I declined the request and he laid his hands on my family.]
Her hands began to tremble.
[I had no choice but to heal my family with my own hands. And I….. I forgot my husband and children.]
Did the drug lord know about the limitations of medicines and abuse them in the most lethal way?
That was probably the poorest ending to any tragedy that could have happened to Anushka Greenway.
With a dejected expression, she murmured.
[A relationship once broken will never come back. Even if it’s barely connected, it’s just something completely different from before. I didn’t even know what kind of people my former family were.]
[I resent this curse I put on myself. My stupidity for bringing on all of these things… and all the things he did to me.]
Now she couldn’t even hide her feelings of hatred.
[You should also know. In the words of high-ranking magicians who put restrictions on themselves in order to look at a higher level… The fact that challengers who constantly whip themselves in hopes of ascending to heaven will eventually be trapped in the chains they created themselves and collapse.
] You will be able to avoid repeating your foolish moves.]
“……….”
Restrictions and restraints.
Lennok suspected that her inability to speak might have something to do with it, but he didn’t bother to ask.
It seems that Yak-seon said that to warn him of his phenomenal talent, but Lennok thought the advice was meaningless.
Sacrificing something to get something else was all too familiar to Lennok.
Didn’t Lennok start with all the penalties and restraints he would bear before he opened his eyes in this world?
After all, he was in a position no different from those of medicine men and other high-ranking magicians.
However, if there is one other thing, it is that Lennok did not give up, unlike Yakseon, who had already been trapped in the bondage and gave up even resisting.
The only resolution I made to myself.
Instead of venting his feelings to Yakseon, Lennok calmly continued.
“I will bring Malabeth from the drug lord’s warehouse. We will discuss the cost of treatment later.”
Yakseon shook his head.
[I won’t get paid. It must have meant that Jenny came with you.]
“……….”
Could it be something related to Kaise?
Either way, it didn’t hurt Lennok.
It’s just that the object of the debt has moved to Jenny, not Yakseon.
The tragedy that befell Yakseon was unfortunate, but Lennok lost interest in Yaksun after hearing her story.
Although her story could serve as a teacher for high-ranking magicians who recklessly put restrictions on themselves, it was because it meant nothing to Lennok.
don’t look back No regrets.
From the beginning, Lennok’s task was determined.
I just pray that my hands will reach what I wish for someday while increasing the things I can do now little by little.
Even sympathizing with those who had stopped was a luxury for Lennok.
Will the day come to Lennok to reflect on the advice she gave him?
But before that moment arrives, Lennok will already be moving forward.
Realizing that he had everything to say, Lennok turned around and left the house of Yakseon without hesitation.
The sign of Jenny waking up, who had been sleeping on the edge of the lake, approached me as clearly as if I could catch it in my hand.
It was time to sort out all the things I had been through to meet her today.
