General Meeting of Executives (3)
After handing out invitations to those who were guarding the stadium, Lennok was immediately greeted by a lavishly decorated hallway.
Executive meeting held for the first time in decades.
It goes without saying how painstakingly the secretaries who assist the president prepared for this day.
There are no traces that could indicate that it is a sports stadium, giving the impression of standing in the middle of a huge palace.
A chandelier hanging from the dome-covered ceiling and soft lighting illuminated the ground.
widely!
“…”
As I walk into the main hall, I feel countless eyes focused on me from all directions.
Every emotion in those gazes was truly vivid to Lennok.
Anger, exhaustion, disappointment, frustration, curiosity, interest…. Intense emotions that are felt without covering the degree and lines.
It was a tribute to the antagonist who cut off the cartel’s limbs more efficiently than anyone else in the past month.
Lennok didn’t care about them, sat down in the seat with his name on it, and looked up at the podium.
The top of the podium as wide as a football pitch. The figure of those standing looking down in all directions while occupying four directions comes into view.
Four monsters who do not even hide their limitless magical power, but reveal it.
A bald giant with thick tattoos on his copper-colored skin.
A muscular young man with white hair.
A girl with fluorescent hair staring at people in a sloppy manner.
Even a middle-aged woman with a nervous impression wearing a dress.
The four highest-ranking officers who command the giant ship called the cartel.
‘In order, McQueen Virgil Merilda Kansoa… … . All the presidents attended.’
He already knows Virgil, and he has a rough idea of who Merylda is.
The dagger that Avid Johnsen used to kill Lennok at the end.
According to information floating around the Deep Web, it is said that the name is Merilda’s Fang, which has strong magic resistance.
Since the fangs of that fluorescent-haired girl couldn’t possibly be this big, it was highly likely that Merilda was not a normal human species.
In the case of Kansoa, there is no information other than that she is an excellent ice magician, but… … . That wouldn’t be very important.
Lennok’s sharp gaze was directed at the bald giant who stood at the forefront of the company.
He has the appearance of an ascetic, wearing an old long robe and holding a faded stone scepter in his hand.
The tattoos all over the body shrink to fit the wrinkled skin, and accessories to hide the age take their place.
Parden McQueen, the first boss of the cartel.
A loyalist among loyalists who has been with Oliviera Ron Maze for the longest and has the authority of vice president in case of emergency.
Originally, he was a high priest who tried to train himself in the Evatra Mountains, but after meeting Oliviera, he broke the taboo and came down the mountain as an apostate monk.
The magic and martial arts he accumulated over and over again became his full strength, and even after that, as Oliviera’s right-hand man, he said that he made the greatest contribution to maintaining the business.
His conservative tendency in corporate management was one of the biggest contributors to leading the cartel, characterized by its weak cohesion, to this point, but his
unique self-assured tendency made him betray the organization he had nurtured.
‘It’s ironic… … ‘
His personal information that he managed to obtain through the information he had gathered through Evelyn and Jenny.
Considering the traces of Girard Ojet’s direct superior, he secretly held and wielded the cartel’s execution unit in his hands, there is no doubt that.
Parden McQueen was the traitor who first got his hands on Jenny’s bar and caused infighting with the cartel.
The question would be when Virgil noticed this… … .
[Everyone came on time.]
Before I could even think, a low woman’s voice resounded.
A tone that is neither high nor low. A calm, indifferent voice.
While everyone gathered here raised their heads and searched for the epicenter, a seven-pronged wind blew in and instantly began to illuminate a person’s figure.
Whoops!!
Natural movement, as if it had been standing there from the beginning.
Brilliant colors fluttering on the floor and a blurry veil covering the pure white hair.
But leaving all that behind, the first thing that caught my eye was the radiance of intense colors that shone through the veil.
As soon as their eyes met the light, those who felt throbbing avoided their gazes at once, but others silently received her radiant gaze.
‘Is that the mysterious eye of Chilchaebo that I’ve heard about in rumors… … .’
Lennox’s eyes sank deeply.
Among the Demon Eyes, it is one of the top-level Demon Eyes that is said to be the only one in terms of rank, not having the highest output.
It is said that he possesses the uncanny power of reading everything in his opponent just by looking into his eyes… … The magic I felt from her now wasn’t that much.
No matter how much she wears a veil and hides her gaze, there is no way that the radiance of her demonic eyes can be this much.
‘As expected, it seems that he has no intention of revealing himself.’
Thinking so, Lennok cast a glance outside.
There is no need to guess how huge the public power gathered in the vicinity of this stadium is.
In a situation where attention is focused on all sides, it is bound to be a burden on the cartel for the chairman to reveal his true identity.
It also meant that the president really intended to invite Lennok to this meeting for the purpose of a conversation.
Oliviera looked around and opened her mouth quietly, not hiding the light in her eyes that spilled over the veil.
[Thank you everyone for being with us today.]
Her magical energy trembled and the sound of the six battles overflowed desperately to fill the vast hall.
[I am very happy that all the relationships I have built so far have not been in vain. Even though decades have passed, our friendship has not changed.]
“….”
[There was a time when just checking it was enough.]
‘I can’t read it well…’ … .’
The figure of Oliviera, who continued to speak calmly, was clearly visible in the eyes of everyone seated here, but Lennok, realizing the abstruse way of being, faintly frowned.
It is certain that it appeared in this place using the same method as an alter ego, but it is difficult to see how it handles magic.
Because he had reached a certain level, he was able to hide the flow to some extent even from Lennok’s eyes.
If Lennok hadn’t seen a new horizon through a giyeon, he might not have even felt her magical power.
[But time passes and everything changes. Now, no matter what happens in this city, the era has arrived.]
‘It is certain that the magical flow is artificially controlled through the Mystic Eye. If you look a little further, you’ll see… … .’
However, it is possible to unravel its secrets, given enough leeway, as long as it takes time to understand and analyze.
A talent that is not bound by the gap in the realm. He only understands and absorbs whoever his opponent is.
But before Lennoc could come to a definite conclusion, Oliviera moved first.
[I stood here in person to show you the evidence today. The fact that even an oath promised for a hundred years can be scattered like a candle in the wind.]
“…!!”
Lennok’s eyes widened when he finally understood why she had summoned everyone.
Oliviera moved slowly.
Sabaksabak. The sound of the applicator rubbing against the floor.
The apostate monk, who had his eyes closed, slowly lifted his head.
His lord, to whom he had been loyal all his life, looked up at him with a nonchalant expression.
[McQueen. Do you have any last words?]
* * *
“…You are cruel.”
McQueen opened his mouth in a heavy voice.
“You all already know how I will answer you, don’t you?”
okay. What would be the point of evading it now?
From the moment Girard Ozette’s recruit was handed over to Virgil, everything has already ended.
Virgil opened his eyes hollowly and cast his gaze among the crowd looking up at this spot.
sharp impression. A tall young man with a skinny physique.
Covering himself in a black coat and burying himself in a chair, he looks up at McQueen with a calm expression.
It was the first time seeing him face to face, but he knew right away.
That this man was the one who pulled the trigger on his downfall.
I knew he was a talented wizard.
As a freelancer who built up his performance at an unusual speed and raised his reputation.
On the contrary, I thought that it was carefully selected as a paving stone for this work.
It wouldn’t have been difficult to steal the slush funds they wanted from the inside once they turned their attention to the damage he created, even from the cartel’s financial planning department.
It was not long before I felt that things had grown out of control.
As soon as Lennok caught Girard, he noticed the infighting in the organization and tried to make a deal with Virgil using that information as collateral.
As soon as Virgil found out the traitor inside, he notified the chairman.
The moment he realized his betrayal, everything was already over.
Even after revealing his ugliness in front of thousands of people, McQueen’s expression did not waver at all.
He looked around at the audience with grim eyes and finally knelt toward the president.
coo!!
“I won’t make lame excuses. However, I want to clean up the mistakes I made with my own hands.”
[That’s interesting. To think that you, who were more enthusiastic than anyone else, would make any excuses… … .]
“….”
McQueen fell silent at Oliviera’s words mixed with faint laughter.
Because her words pierced his true heart with the sharpest sharpness.
Even at the moment when he was driven to a desperate situation, McQueen’s head was busy.
There was no option to rely on the friendship that had been together for decades.
The first thing you need to do in order to survive in this place is to eliminate Ban, who is the culprit first.
It was to clean up the mistakes he had made.
[Then let’s do this.]
Oliviera turned around and stood in the center of the podium again.
General Assembly that gathered thousands of people. However, it is meaningless and only she alone is freely projecting her will.
It is a board that goes according to her intention from beginning to end. everyone knew
[I don’t want to give up on my old friend’s desire to quit hard work and return to being a savage. However, won’t discipline be disrupted only when the hand that commands the existing subsidiaries is lost?]
“….”
[I’ve looked for talented people in advance in preparation for a moment like this, so McQueen will have to take over.] McQueen
asked inadvertently at an ominous thought that suddenly came to mind.
“I can’t believe that that person is….”
[There was a wizard right beside me who advised us that our promise was overshadowed.] The corners of
Oliviera’s mouth, revealed under the veil, curled wide.
[I think that’s enough for a boy named Ban.]
A freezing silence fell over the convention hall.
In other words, half the people who will take over the last business of the traitor McQueen.
Doesn’t that mean he will be incorporated into the cartel’s new boss?
Only then did the cartel executives understand the meaning of the words and turned their heads in amazement.
Lennok noticed the stares around him and slightly lowered his head.
The expression hidden under the hair was already faintly frowning.
‘I’ve been aiming for this from the beginning.’
If the intention was to purify the faction that betrayed the cartel, there would be no reason to hold such a grand general meeting in the first place.
Now, all of this situation was just a justification for inviting Lennok with a plausible cause.
Is this the reason why Virgil hasn’t contacted him yet and why nothing has happened to the cartel since he handed over Girard?
Oliviera Ron Maze had heard of Lennok’s ability through Girard and decided to take him under her command.
