Assassination mock (1)
“I wonder if the scale of this incident is being taken too lightly.”
Donovan looked away, quickly scanned her outfit and nodded.
“…He’s from the Cybrid Echo side. Do you think I am wrong?”
“A passive response to avoid risk is not enough. You should think about it until then.”
At her cold words, Donovan sneaked up from his seat.
The woman said, not caring about his reaction.
“If this task is successfully completed, trophies such as military equipment from the National Guard and resources from mobile fortresses will come in as incentives.”
The woman who responded sternly turned her head and met Lennok’s gaze.
“Are you going to hand over all of that incentive to that one wizard?”
“I haven’t even started working yet, so it’s too early to say that.”
said Donovan right off the bat.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to share a pie that we can understand through coordination after the work is over? It seems that the important thing is to take care of what is right in front of you.”
“But it must be inefficient.”
The woman said without a word, looking around the people in the conference room.
“Once you hand over all the costs to the dog, you’ll start to care whether he’s doing what he’s worth, rather than focusing on your own business.”
“….”
“What if it ends in failure?”
Only a woman’s voice echoed in the silent meeting room.
“It is a very foolish choice to focus all of the team’s capabilities and investments on one person, regardless of his strength and ability. At least we don’t work that way.”
“I agree.”
The young man who was chewing gum raised his hand with a grin.
“It’s nice to have some sacrifices to encourage strong players to participate, but I hope we don’t force that on all of us.”
He said that, and pointed his hand at the woman in reverse.
“At least I’d rather bet on this woman who’s logical rather than on that mage who doesn’t know what she’s thinking?”
The young man’s words must have struck a wedge, and one by one the others began to come up with different opinions.
Being here means that you have a willingness to participate. There may be no reason to hand over all the cost. How would you like to talk again after work is over?
Lennok didn’t respond, just looking around the chaotic conference room.
“Things are going strangely.”
Panoa tilted her head slightly towards Lennok and whispered.
“Originally, Van-sama would have been able to take command of this matter without touching it.”
“Because it’s not just Senator Mayer who’s interested in this.”
Lennok replied.
“I don’t want to take responsibility, but it’s probably the result of the intervention of other lawmakers who want to split the National Guard’s power.”
The military power currently possessed by the National Guard and the existence of mobile forts are undoubtedly coveted resources.
Even if you can’t get your hands right away, if you can create an appropriate cause and enlist, it will be a very attractive item.
In a way, it was natural for other lawmakers to embrace and help those gathered here in advance.
“Would it be okay?”
“Well…. I rather like that proposal than Donovan.”
“…yes?”
Mayer and Donovan seemed intent on breaking through this impasse by channeling all their resources into Lennok and using him as the lead.
Lennok did not initially find the offer attractive.
The important thing is to finish this situation as quickly as possible before the blue eye call-up order is issued. It is to reduce unnecessary time investment in the process.
Rather than trying to lead those who are not properly united here, it seemed that there was much more that they could do by moving alone.
To be honest, I didn’t feel that Lennok was very helpful even when he was with a decently talented person.
It is fortunate that they do not get in the way unless they have clear senses or specialties.
Unless he was a special technician on the level of Asui or a veteran with the senses and experience of Manson or Dylan Milla, Lennok would not benefit from cooperation.
Of course, those gathered here are also veterans of the underworld, but will the results that can be obtained by working with them be significantly different from when Lennok works alone?
Mayer’s proposal did not seem to have much meaning because the results obtained by Lennox’s operation alone overwhelmed everyone else’s too often.
[Master.]
Darby called out to Lennok in his arms while Lennok thought so and looked on.
Lennok, who glanced down at his phone following the call, naturally stood up from his seat.
At the same time as he grabbed the doorknob of the meeting room, the waiting attendants politely blocked Lennok’s path.
“Where are you planning to go?”
“restroom.”
“…Would you mind if I accompany you?”
“doesn’t care.”
Lennok went out looking for the bathroom with all eyes on him.
“….”
A hallway full of heavy silence even though dozens of bodyguards are standing tight.
Lennok, who was heading to the bathroom at the end of it, naturally turned toward the emergency exit stairs.
The attendants who followed Lennok also followed him very naturally, instead of stopping him.
11th floor of the building.
A small manor on the roof. The attendant who had followed Lennok up to the front naturally backed away.
“Here it is.”
Mayer, who was sitting among the stumps of a shady tree, waved at Lennok.
Lennok, who casually sat down next to him, smiled and said.
“Isn’t it too old-fashioned to call someone secretly? Other people must have noticed it long ago.”
“doesn’t care.”
Mayer replied leisurely with her chin resting.
“I’d rather you accept it that way.”
A pair of small wireless earphones hung over Mayer’s ears as he answered.
He must have been eavesdropping on all the conversations in the conference room through these earphones.
And when he felt that things were going strangely, he immediately summoned Lennok to the rooftop.
“Looks like you’ve chosen someone who’s too honest for a windman.”
“….”
“I’d rather have a guy who was chewing gum rather than Donovan Whyte.”
“Were you looking out there? I did it just in case, but I can’t lie for a long time.”
After saying that, Mayer shook her head slowly.
“No matter how much effort was put into it, it would have ended up like this. There are not one or two city council members who are interested in this matter.”
“….”
“It is better to reveal their influence little by little in this way. The important thing to me is to make this job unconditionally successful. Because there is only one.”
It’s quite an impatient tone to call him out separately. Lennok stared at him silently before asking.
“Did you gamble?”
Mayer, slightly frowning, nodded.
“Not similar. It is a member of the council that I obtained at the cost of minimizing the damage of the city government and taking on all the responsibility… … .”
“….”
Somehow, I thought that the speed of getting to the city council was too fast.
Apart from Mayer’s ability, the position of a city council member is a heavy responsibility that cannot be reached without having the right connections and connections.
In an effort to defeat other rivals and secure the seat, Mayer struck a rather drastic deal.
“At this rate, it is impossible to even approach the core faction that exists in the city council. Rather than that, I thought I should take advantage of this crisis to gamble.”
“Don’t you think it’s reckless?”
“I can tolerate falling to the ground.”
Mayer’s eyes shone sharply.
“Once you reach it, you can try again and again. I won’t stop until I reach the top of this city.”
“That’s not a bad attitude.”
Lennok laughed.
Lennox was well aware that John Mayer was not a good man.
However, the intense greed that burns a senile body and the tremendous determination that even Lennok is surprised by are not the kind to be ignored.
A person who desperately aims for the top of the city, regardless of pride and honor, would at least reach that threshold.
It would be a lie if you said that you are not continuing to keep in touch even if you are curious about the ending this man will face.
That image of running towards a goal without even considering one’s circumstances… … It was the kind that Lennok was familiar with.
“Perhaps by now everyone else has noticed that I called you on purpose.”
Mayer said.
“From there, we will rewrite the board. Van If you want to go solo in this business, you’d better assemble a team with Donovan in charge.”
“It doesn’t matter, but…. You need to be a little more careful with your background investigation.”
Lennok, who was fiddling with tobacco in his arms, replied.
“If circumstances do not prevent other lawmakers from interfering in this matter, there may be more liaisons mixed in. Perhaps in a much more extreme way than now-”
Lennok said as he turned his head, when he suddenly began to sense a strange presence high up in the sky.
“….”
I wasn’t paying attention because I didn’t come inside the area, but there was a sign that the distance was gradually closing.
It is not an ordinary life reaction. It’s much heavier and duller than that… … .
Lennok turned his head.
“Is the council using helicopters to protect councilors?”
“hmm? yes. It reduces wind and noise through hovering and provides firepower assistance at close range. But how did you know?”
“It’s descending from up there.”
Mayer tilted her head as Lennok looked up at the sky.
“That is a strange thing. In a city like this, there must have been a guideline so that they would not descend below a certain altitude with an optical camouflage. Unless it’s an emergency… … .”
“….”
Mayer’s voice rapidly diminishes. The two of them met eyes and stood up at the same time.
Woooooooooo!!
Right after that, something that plunged right in front of the roof of the building blocked the two in an instant.
What appeared after removing the optical camouflage was a large aircraft painted in gloomy black.
Instead of attaching rotor blades to the top of the fuselage, the streamlined fuselage with wheel-like hovering engines on both sides is impressive.
The thick muzzle from under the engine glowed eerily.
After confirming that the pilot’s eyes through the window had completely turned over and only the whites remained, Mayer swallowed.
The moment the other attendants shouted and ran, the muzzle of the aircraft fired first.
Tututututu!!!!
Without hesitation, Lennok grabbed Mayer’s shoulder with one arm and threw himself back.
Tuuk!
“Ugh!!”
Ignoring Mayer who screams with a frightened expression, he activates his senses to the limit.
Instantly, Lennok, who confirmed that the projectile protruding forward was heating up the barrel, quickly opened the shield behind his back.
Doo doo doo!!
Hundreds of bullets stopped behind Lennok’s back, as if they were blocked by a solid wall in mid-air.
Lennok tapped the inside of his coat as the wind blew backwards.
“Are you ready?”
[Of course.]
Mei Iik!!
Cast floating magic on the court side and stop the speed.
The coat woven in the shadow technique quickly received magical energy and spread like black wings.
As promised, a black monster bike jumped out from underneath and received the two.
coo!!
“Heh heh… … !!”
Mayer, sitting on the seat at the back of the bike, looked back with a face that looked like he was going to go crazy.
As soon as Lennok pulled the throttle, a black bike shot forward in an instant.
Boaaaaang!!
With a heavy rotational sound, the bike, which galloped at high speed, begins to leave the center of the dense road.
Mayer, who came to his senses belatedly, was startled and grabbed Lennok by the shoulder.
“Where are you going now?!”
“I am running away to a place where there are no people in moderation.”
Lennok replied calmly.
“It’s not that difficult to blow up that aircraft, but… … Wouldn’t that make it hard to figure out who planned this?”
“that….”
“You have to back off as if you’ve been waiting for the other side to call other friends.”
If he made up his mind, he could catch all the hundreds of bullets fired by the aircraft on the spot and send them back.
However, instead of destroying the aircraft at once, Lennok chose to escape without hesitation in order to bring out the person behind the plan.
“He is an opponent who will try to cause a commotion even by tampering with the city councilman’s bodyguards.
Lenok said, quickly leaving the 10th division area while changing gears freely with the help of the boarding aid magic.
Kiki profit!!
The bike’s thick wheels slid across the road without hesitation, leaving skid marks.
Lennox’s eyes narrowed slightly as he lowered his head slightly.
“And if you confirm that the target is escaping without hesitation like this…They will definitely come after us to confirm their intentions.”
