Virgil said while looking around at his other silent colleagues.
“About the president’s condition, I’ll tell the class myself. Of course, that man will never reveal a secret even by mistake… … . If you don’t tell me why he loses his dignity and is engrossed in ‘research’, you won’t understand why either.”
“Damn it…To be swayed like this by one former freelancer.”
Merilda grumbled so much, but she did not deny Virgil’s words.
All three of the presidents who remain in this position are elders who have been with Oliviera since the cartel was founded.
Everyone knew why she lost her powers and crashed while boasting of her best skills, and why she was secluded, immersed in unknown research.
Didn’t McQueen also commit such a bold rebellion because he knew that the chairman would not be able to move carelessly?
Kansoa said.
“As it is difficult to predict how this distance will change in the future, there is no need to increase the number of enemies unnecessarily. Rather, I wish he would help the cartel’s hierarchy with the authority of an outside director… … .”
“It will depend on how you get out of here in the future.”
Virgil replied.
“I have collected personal information and public opinion about the man from the deep web, so please read it.”
Saying so, he connected the terminal to his cell phone and immediately scraped the file to the other three.
Virgil continued as they read and read the information Virgil sent them.
“When he appeared on this street right away and contacted Zenith, he was already a high-level wizard, and a lot of people searched his back, but he couldn’t find any trace. He is a man who has thoroughly concealed himself to the extent that not only his past but also his current residence are unknown.”
“….”
“In addition, there are many evaluations that the work is very neat and the transaction is thorough…. It would be right to see it as a disposition to give back at least what was received.”
“Looks like you’re looking at a solver who has been rolling for decades, not a wizard.”
“I think everyone knows what it takes to silence Ban in this situation.”
Virgil nodded.
“Since these are the people gathered here, I’m speaking honestly. The cartel is sinking little by little.”
“….”
“The chairman’s choice to directly announce McQueen’s betrayal, which would have been revealed someday even if he hid it, was wise, but it will not be able to prevent the organization from shaking. In order to get through this situation well, we need active cooperation between affiliates. Do you know what that means?”
That means that the presidents, who had been pretending not to see each other while checking each other’s authority until now, should be more closely united than now.
The time has come for the freedom that each of us has enjoyed for decades to come to an end.
A tacit agreement was needed from within to hold on to the current position, overcoming the checks of the other triumvirate and rivals rising from below.
Saying that, Virgil leaned back in his chair and put his legs on the desk.
On the nameplate placed at the end of a wide old tree, the title of vice chairman was clearly engraved.
“The old rooms and divisions are over. What I have to do now… … . There will be a lot of them.”
* * *
After two weeks of rest, Lennok returned to work at ease.
Battle with McQueen. To be precise, it is because it took a considerable amount of time to shake off the side effects of various drugs used to forcibly raise the condition at the time of the magnetic field development.
Of course, he did not fully recover, but Lennok never looked down on his fragile body.
This guy’s body had plenty of room for problems if it was rolled vigorously or loosely if it was loose.
Lying down for a long time can also cause the back ligaments to stretch.
Stay alert. No, in the first place, Lennok had never trusted his body.
“I’m here?”
After the dispute with the cartel, Jenny and Jordon greeted him at the bar in the bar, which has resumed business as usual.
Jordan has come back safely and is shaking the shaker as before, even though he suffered quite a bit in this job.
Considering the physiology of this floor, it was nothing short of a miracle.
If something had happened to him, who had a close bond with Jenny, it would have been impossible to deal with this incident this way.
Lennok sat down at the bar, took a drink and looked around.
The bar is bustling with more customers than usual.
Somewhere unnaturally booming.
“Didn’t you hear that you were appointed as an outside director during Cartel’s quarterly earnings announcement?”
Jenny shrugged.
“Since we’ve received the approval of the Three Heads, not one or two people think that this business will do well.”
“Is that why you came to take a snow stamp in advance?”
“Rather than that…It’s a better place for freelancers to use as a meeting point, since our business has proven to be self-sustaining enough that even bigwigs can’t touch it.”
“….”
“Well, of course, it’s not my analysis as the party involved…. In the atmosphere of the deep web, that’s roughly it.”
“It’s a strange thing… … .”
Lennok sipped his glass, slowly conjuring up his magic, overhearing the conversations around him.
Like the guys who work on this floor, he has a knack for making noise with a glass of wine and not being able to hear conversations, but it doesn’t mean much to Lennok.
As Jenny said, it seemed certain that the number of people talking about work in secret at the bar had definitely increased.
Originally, the people who sat down on the street and talked secretly secretly made the bar their new meeting place.
Either way it wasn’t a bad thing.
Except that Jordan’s hand, which is shaking the shaker, looks particularly busy.
Zordon’s eyes met Lennok’s, and he smiled faintly.
“…This might need a new bartender.”
“No problem so far. If you’re in a hurry, you can ask for help, but… … . At least one of those friends will lend a hand.”
Saying that, Jordan raised the hand holding the shaker behind him.
A shed drilled in the back of the bar. The vacant lot of the pub behind it.
There, Lennok nodded as he checked Wei An’s face, who was competing with someone.
“Looks like Dray has made a decision too.”
During the 15 days that Lennok was away, quite a few things happened, and along with him, the business of the two began to expand rapidly.
In the end, as soon as this cartel’s work was over, Dray Krimgal decided to join Jenny’s business with his subordinates.
It is difficult to provide satisfactory salaries to the newly recruited ex-special forces members with only the work they receive from the Krimgal office.
However, in a situation where it was difficult to close the office and go under someone, Dray decided to entrust his manpower to Lennok and Jenny.
Did he think that Lennok’s powerful force, comparable to that of the cartel’s bosses, and Jenny’s management ability, which quickly took control of the underworld’s supply network shortly after starting the business, were enough?
Lennok couldn’t exactly hear what Dray was thinking and raised his hand, but he understood his feelings to some extent.
During the war of nerves with the cartel, when he often went out with him on the street, Dray would express great satisfaction in collaborating with Lennok now.
Under Lennok and Jenny’s company, even the salaries of the crew, which are difficult to cover with the office’s income alone, can be reduced in tax in the name of expenses.
“If a man like that can help with the business, it will be of great help.”
“They said that the people Drey brought were former special forces members, and they are very good at what they do. There are people with various specialties, such as driving and administrative maintenance, so there will be no need to recruit new employees for the time being.”
Of course, Dray didn’t just come out to accept them without any calculation.
Former soldiers who are relatively familiar with the chain of command and full of responsibility for their duties. They are people who are accustomed to doing more than one person in their respective fields.
It’s much easier to trust than the manpower recruited from the underworld right now, and if Dray mediates them in the middle, it won’t be difficult to lead them.
It gives wings to business prospects that were evaluated positively even before the dispute with the cartel.
Lennok listened moderately to them, then emptied his glass and stood up.
“Are you planning to go already?”
“It is not…It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so I thought it would be worth accepting at least one request.”
“A commission?”
There is no reason to be immersed in freelance work at the point of setting up the company with Jenny’s help.
It would be necessary to maintain a freelancer status in order to secure a route to obtain the relics of the time and space series that Lennok wanted separately, but if not, there would be no
reason to go out looking for nominations.
But instead of answering, Lennok picked up a thick photobook by the bar and rummaged through it, pulling out a picture from inside.
A wanted badge prepared by brokers for bounty hunters.
Lennok, who grinned at the two who looked up at him with bewildered expressions, immediately headed outside.
“Let’s go back to the beginning after a long time.”
* * *
The situation is different from the past, when the bounty had to be found through magic that tracked bloodstains one by one.
Lastly, spread magic over a wide area where the bounty disappeared and walk in the direction that takes your senses.
A secretly hidden fight club at the bottom of a shabby bakery.
Spotting the two drunken targets inside, Lennok immediately pulled out his revolver.
The opponent, who blinked at the shadow cast over his face, opened his mouth as soon as he saw Lennok’s face.
“Wow wow!!”
bang!
“X feet!!”
bang!!
The job was over in an instant.
The riotous fight club instantly turned quiet as the two with foam at the mouth and their eyes upturned were lifted up with telekinesis magic.
“Half….”
“It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, damn it.”
“What’s the cartel’s outside director doing here? What have those assholes done?”
Lennok looked around blankly in the middle of the club, which had turned cold.
Dray Krimgal said that Lennok’s position would change once again after his work with the Cartel was over.
He wasn’t wrong. Of all the people who were gazing at Lennok now, not a single one came up to speak to him directly.
The people who used to come up and offer Lennok a scout offer are no longer seen.
A mage who won the battle alone with the cartel bosses.
It’s because everyone is procrastinating what the value is and where the eye level will be.
Now, in order to hand over the recruiting offer to Lennok, it’s not going to be possible with a normal background.
Now the emotions mixed in people’s gaze are clearly visible.
Jealousy, fear, vigilance, and longing… … . and envy.
While Lennok was lost in his thoughts, an old man with a protruding stomach approached Lennok, sweating profusely, and crouched down.
“It looks like those guys who used to hang out at our club were rude to the wizard. I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again, so please forgive me just this once… … .”
“….”
Saying that, the old man took out a bunch of bills from his bosom and held them out to Lennok.
Instead of accepting it, Lennok shook his head and let out a sigh.
The old man’s shoulders trembled.
“If you don’t have enough money…Whoops!”
Lennok, who handed the two fainting men up in the air to the old man, took out a cigarette and said,
“The two of them are being investigated by the police for trafficking in civilians.”
“Yes yes?!”
“Take care and hand it over to the nearby wanted post.”
Lennok walked out of the club without regret and looked up blankly at the sky.
In the past, I would have handed over all of these results directly to Jenny, but now it doesn’t mean much.
I didn’t even come to the bounty for that in the first place.
“I did, just in case…This alone is helpful in making a decision.”
The self-talk that came out of Lennok’s mouth was no accident.
Although he came out with the excuse of going back to the beginning, Lennok had never forgotten who he was.
However, the reason why he moved to pursue the bounty with a reason that was not good was to find an opportunity to retrieve the turning point that Lennok had missed on this street.
Lennok’s eyes sank deeply as he sat down to rest on a nearby bench.
‘I succeeded in understanding and using the concept of image imprinting. But… … ‘
By moving forward the point of view to the future, the divergence points that could have existed are regarded as the past, and the possibility of a parallel world is observed and realized.
Even Lennok himself had obtained a miracle that he was not sure if it was possible, but there were a couple of problems that had to be solved in order to use this weapon freely.
Considering that he was able to meet Lennok’s standards only after exorbitant costs, forced doping, and triggers.
It must be extremely difficult to use the realm properly in a battle against other strong people other than McQueen.
In addition, although they pursued different possibilities while thinking of anonymity, it is meaningless if the process of developing a kaleidoscope cannot be omitted in the process of developing the magnetic field.
‘But even now, there are many ways to refine the imagery.’
At that time, Lennok entered Thorburn’s Magic Tower, awakened the lightning-type unique magic, and won the victory against McQueen with the [Eight Lien Noi Palace], a realm completely drawn with that image.
The reason why the Eight Lien Noi Palace was able to exert such power was because it was accompanied by Lennok’s understanding and mastery of the lightning series.
Even if it implements other areas, it is the same.
In order to derive sufficient power from a parallel world that exists only as a possibility, it was necessary that the divergence point and Lennok were closely connected.
Lennok opened up a new horizon of possibility through his imagery, but that meant, in other words, that it had to be accompanied by an experience appropriate to it.
Looking back on the days that have passed in this place today is also part of that.
Excluding the areas that he can now observe in the realm of possibility, how much experience and connections are needed to pioneer new areas.
In order to measure the standard, Lennok dared to resume his activities with a sick body.
Little by little but surely.
Lennok was already beginning to realize what a miracle he was holding.
