Drug-Eating Genius Mage Chapter 223

Apostate (1)

The other presidents also made an uncomfortable expression at that statement, but no one was foolish enough to vomit at that statement.

Because they didn’t know who their lord wanted.

A sorcerer who single-handedly massacred the cartel’s execution squad and overpowered its leader, Avid Johnsen.

Even after collecting the blood of his subordinates and conveying the magnetic realm with all his strength, his overwhelming ability to not even see the half of the realm is undoubtedly a level higher than that of a military magician.

this huge organization. There is no shortage of things to step up to the corner of the triumvirate.

Oliveira Lone Maze had been waiting for this day since the moment she recognized Ban’s existence.

“….”

However, instead of being overwhelmed by that spirit, Lennok looked back on the situation calmly.

It’s not that hard to reject all the offers from Oliviera at this point.

However, after convening a general meeting, the words and actions she threw and the conversation with Ming… … Did it happen because you really coveted half?

So, didn’t it seem like Myeong was valuing Lennok’s value more highly?

It was only after the question reached that point that Lennok was able to draw a conclusion.

Perhaps what Oliviera Ron Maze really wanted was not to hand over the presidency to Lennok—a

calm voice flowed from Lennok’s lips.

“Looks like you want to lend a hand to dispose of McQueen.”

The atmosphere in the middle of the room froze coldly.

“Are you concerned that the power of the cartel is weakening due to the mutual destruction of the bosses? In the end, the actions you’ve shown so far only feel that way.”

“Wizard.”

Kansoa said with a smile on her face.

“Being careful with what you say will be good for you.”

Lennok glanced back at her, but he didn’t care.

“great. I do. But the price is not the cartel’s president, but I will choose it myself.”

[…] … .]

“Because there’s probably not much value in a position that you patronize others.”

Oliveira, who was staring down at him, said.

[You really are so cheeky.]

“….”

[But you’re getting the point right to the point where it’s unpleasant… … . OK.]

Yes. The opponent is a giant whose rank is difficult to guess.

However, Lennok is not continuing such equal negotiations for no reason.

Collaboration between Antares and agents. The emergence and protection of names. Crucially, even the appearance of Oliviera, who has never revealed herself.

Combining what has happened, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn.

Oliviera Lone Maze is in a position to move directly, and Myeong and other monsters are aware of it.

Therefore, rather than dealing with the traitor through the same bosses, she tried to deal with the problem by borrowing the power of Lennok, who had fought tirelessly with the cartel.

Even if it means giving the enemy the position of the president, which is only a facade.

She laughed softly, knowing quite well that Lennok had seen through her intentions.

[So much time has passed. I never thought I would be exposed to such a young wizard about my internal circumstances.]

“Chairman….”

Merilda called her in a small voice, but nothing changed.

After all, it’s just that the cartel’s traitor and adversary have come to terms with what has happened so far after going round and round like this.

And at the moment when everything was decided, McQueen, who had been silent without saying a word until now, opened his mouth.

“Can I ask you one more question?”

[Come to the gate.]

“If during the handover process…If a problem arises, who is responsible?”

[It’s the same.]

She stared up at McQueen’s expressionless face and nodded slowly.

[At that time, let’s assume that Ban didn’t accept the position of president, and let’s stick to the question.]

“…I understand then.”

It didn’t take long for a smile to spread across McQueen’s lips.

* * *

It didn’t take long for rumors to spread through the streets of a dramatic deal between the Cartel and the wizards of District 49.

People remembered Ban’s tenacious actions of smashing businesses like he was possessed and were curious about the process.

Hearing rumors that the chairman of the cartel, in turn, offered him a scout, everyone agreed.

A place where talented and capable people can hold hands even with enemies who were fighting to the death.

It was not understandable on the streets lined with freelancers running after profit and money, leaving blood and resentment behind.

It didn’t stop there, and even the words that the wizard of the 49th level had risen to the 6th level of the military wizard.

Considering the value of a completed army wizard, it was not unreasonable for the cartel to turn a blind eye to the damage of the organization.

Information spread that Ban’s position would probably be decided at the next quarterly earnings report.

As word spread of the cartel’s compromise with Van, Jenny’s business took off.

It was a business that had been taken over by scavengers with the tacit consent of the Three Heads.

It didn’t take long for the business, which was made up of Kaise’s personal connections and unique skills, as well as the investment of traders to and from the city, to take its place in an instant.

The wedge was a dilution of the potion that Lennok had made himself.

When Lennok’s potion, which even fixed the side effect of rapid growth of the extremities, was inserted into the distribution business and sold on its own, the two businesses created synergies and rapidly expanded in scale.

Rumors about the potion’s cost effectiveness spread so quickly that inquiries from the good side came in faster than rumors spread from the dark side.

Conversely, capitalists who started investing in the business were also showing interest in selling potions, which was a good thing.

A lot has changed in the past week.

The graph floating on top of the monitor was stabbing the ceiling.

However, the inside story of the day when the General Assembly was held is not over yet.

Jenny also guessed what Lennok had left for the last time.

“….”

Lennox smiled at Jenny’s expression.

“It doesn’t change that this is the cleanest.”

I never thought things would end easily.

From the day they returned from the Dominion, they ran out of breath, but in the end, shouldn’t Lennok’s hand make a resolution?

Even if there was no delay due to the help of the medicinal ship, Lennok had guessed that this moment would come someday and was preparing for it.

Considering the difference in status between McQueen and Lennox at this distance, it had to be finished in some way.

All that Lennok did was shorten the countless hardships he had to go through up to that moment. After

rescuing Jordan, summoning Virgil, destroying the cartel’s subcontractor, capturing Girard, catching and

killing Avid with the Execution Unit, and completely returning all checks and retaliation to Lennok.

Finally, he was able to directly bring down the big man sitting on the skyscraper called the president’s team.

I had no intention of making a mistake by coming to the end.

“Oh right. I forgot to give you this.”

Jenny frowned as she checked what Lennok had taken from her bosom.

“…what’s this? It looks strange to receive as a gift.”

“Originally, I was planning to hang it up before going to the general meeting, but…done. It looks a bit better now.”

A counter next to the bar. Lennok, who had hung it up in plain sight, grinned, and Jenny sighed and shook her head.

“Well, since you’re giving it to me, I won’t stop you… … If our store loses sales because of that, you will have to take responsibility.”

“Let’s think about that after we reopen the bar. Maybe after today we can open the bar again.”

Lennox smiled and turned around.

Jenny silently watched him from the back as he walked up the stairs while adjusting his coat.

In the end, this time, from the beginning to the end, there were only difficulties that could not have been solved if it had not been for Lenok’s power.

She thought she did the best she could, focusing on managing and expanding the business in the version Lennok had created, but what if one day Lennok didn’t benefit from her presence?

I’ve never had any regrets since choosing him as my partner… … . Actually, Jenny herself hasn’t changed much since then.

After holding in your hands the wealth and fortune accumulated in this city, will you be able to return to equal eyes with Lennok?

Jenny stared blankly at the things Lennok had left behind and burst out laughing.

“what…. There is still plenty of time.”

You don’t have to think too fast.

To do what you need, when you need it.

Just like Ban always did, isn’t Jenny running so hard for that?

Hearing the loud vibrating sound of her phone, she began to focus on her work again.

A meeting with investors is scheduled for today.

It seemed that the atmosphere would not be bad as there was an unexpected good news from the potion Lenok had created.

…

_

A skyscraper soaring high into the sky.

This place, where a sharp and dry wind blows, is a vacant area between the outskirts of Balkan and the undeveloped district.

Buildings that were completed in the era when megacities were stretched out in all directions due to endless expansion, but lost all geographical advantages due to the massive reduction of the development plan.

Most of the abandoned buildings are likely to be used as hideouts for vagrants or gangsters, but this building was still neatly maintained.

I got on the elevator past the chilly lobby where I couldn’t feel the warmth of people at all.

I entered the numbers I had been told in advance and pressed the button to the roof, and the elevator shot upward in an instant.

The other side of the window pierced through the wall.

The scenery of the undeveloped district is clearly visible.

A bleak desert landscape. The magnetic storm, which is still vivid in Lennok’s memory, stands out.

Height beyond a certain standard becomes a powerful force in itself.

That’s why the cartel has been steadily managing this one building at a steady cost.

If necessary, this place could become a huge observatory covering the center of the undeveloped district.

However, even if such utility is excluded, the scenery in front of you is valuable in itself.

This landscape, which candidly captures all the moments of success and failure in the great city of Balkan, was no different from the true face of Balkan, where Lennok had lived so far.

“….”

With an appointment ahead, miscellaneous thoughts fill my head.

Lennok smiled and closed his eyes as he leaned against the elevator wall.

In an instant, the dizzy mind is cleared and the mind becomes calm.

Memories of the past quickly pass by in the infinitely quiet inner world.

The moment I first awakened to magic. The battle with Eden when he was able to handle lightning strikes. The point at which the character change was realized.

A battle with Craig, who realized and implemented the existence of the realm. A view finally reached after crossing countless fronts that could not be counted.

Others would say that the pace was absurdly abnormal, but the trajectory of life that Lennok had been through had been of the kind that was intense and dense.

How much effort and investment was required to come up to this point even with a penalty that would lead to death the moment you made a single mistake.

Nothing changes.

Lennok is still not allowed to fail even once, and Lennok will be hovering around him as much as the deaths he has given to others.

We are looking for answers in the endlessly thrown questions.

Lennok’s seventh answer was waiting for him at the top of that skyscraper.

Cheeky!!

The elevator doors open to reveal a cramped hallway.

A pure white light faintly reflected at the end of the hallway.

Lennok reached into his arms as he walked toward the light he could see beyond.

He took out a piece of tobacco the size of his finger and lit it.

sixth prototype. Recently, I haven’t put much effort into making potion dilution, but it’s a special preparation for this day.

As soon as he lit the fire and took a deep breath, the back of his head sounded dull and his heart started beating.

Sensation of standing hairs all over the body. Slowly moving your fingers, you take out other objects in succession from within your bosom.

After swallowing a pill of stemonia, an elixir that is effective in reducing the harmful effects of medicine, he drank a magic enhancer and a recovery potion.

Unwrap the ampoule taken out of the inside pocket of the coat, replace the bottle immediately, and inject into the shoulder.

Push!

“Ugh….”

All sorts of vials and syringes jingled down the hallway Lennok passed.

Along with the feeling that the blood in the whole body is gushing backwards, you can feel the sensitivity change to the tips of your fingers.

The sensation of fire rising from within saturates the whole body and rises violently.

Magic powers were rotating violently throughout the body, and it burned as if it would jump out at any moment.

Finally, Lennok, who drank the potion he made himself and threw the empty bottle behind his shoulder, immediately stood out across the hallway.

As soon as I took a step through the gap, all sides opened up, revealing a deep blue sky.

Skyscrapers over 800m tall.

The view from the top makes you hold all the scenery of the undeveloped district in one hand.

The end of the rooftop where there is no safety device.

The bronze-skinned giant was looking down at the scenery with an indifferent face.

Full of tattoos and fancy ornaments all over the body. Even the long dharma scepter in her hand and the old applicator.

Parden McQueen, the first boss of the cartel.

The two people needed for the CEO’s ‘takeover’ finally met face to face in one place.

Lennok smiled as he quickly covered a radius of several kilometres, generating magic lightly.

“This is a bit surprising.”

Smoke billowed from his mouth as he bit the thick tobacco.

“Of course I knew you would bring your subordinates, but it looks like you came all the way here alone.”

Considering the moves McQueen has shown so far, the possibility of moving alone was low.

Basically, the type that doesn’t prefer to use their own hands.

As a strong man who has reigned as the boss of the cartel for decades, he is good at exerting his influence by using unknown hands and feet under him.

This time, too, under the name of the takeover, I thought they had summoned such a remote place to siege Lenok.

Surprisingly, there was no sign of life in this area.

As if someone had decided and emptied the area.

After thinking that far, Lennok figured out the answer.

“….Were there checks from other presidents? It wouldn’t be strange if Virgil severely cut your powers. After all, they are just renegades who betrayed the organization.”

“It’s not surprising. If it was his personality, I thought it would be like this from the beginning. He must have wanted to stop me from cheating.”

Only then did McQueen look at Lennok and stare at him with a heavy gaze.

“It is enough just to be grateful for the last chance given to me. I can’t always repay the president’s grace. It’s my vice.”

“Is that the word that comes out of the mouth of the person who betrayed the chairman and tried to siphon off the company’s slush funds?”

Lennox admired McQueen’s brashness, but McQueen didn’t even raise an eyebrow at the sharp provocation.

He stood up slowly and looked down at Lennok.

The pressure provided by the almost 2m tall bronze-skinned giant was on a completely different level.

It is the body of a practitioner who has endured asceticism for his beliefs, rather than simply training his body and increasing his size.

Even though it is now said to be a rusty, wrinkled and creaking body, its skills are still intact.

The two sorcerers simultaneously and secretly began to increase their power.
