Genius Magician Who Eats Medicine Episode 576
Power Game (3)
“Agent.”
Virgil murmured.
“I am not crazy. Dare to send field agents to the headquarters… … !!”
Virgil’s eyes were red from his anger, and thick veins stood on his forehead.
“Was it a condition not to intervene at all in the dispute with the agent?”
Lennok looked at Virgil like that and turned around slightly.
“Just tell me where Makina’s ticket is, and I’ll take it myself. Let’s take care of your business.”
“…wait for a sec.”
Virgil quickly calmed his anger and grabbed Lennox’s coat.
“I will completely cancel the conversation we had here earlier. I made a mistake.”
“I don’t know what you mean. You must have asked me on the condition of not intervening in this situation, right?”
Lennox smiled and shook his head.
“It seems that the city government’s special agency wants to fight the Three Heads, but I don’t think it’s my business.”
Why, at this point, an agent is attempting a raid on the cartel headquarters, Lennok doesn’t know.
After Evelyn Marcia was fired from her agent, Lennok hadn’t had any contact with them.
I’d be willing to talk to field agents like Palad Okon and Hina O’Neill, who fought together in the National Guard incident.
According to Virgil, the person in command of the agent now must be Greta Witherhild, whom Lennok has never seen before.
As Murphy said, there is no reason to intervene in disputes between other organizations at this point when conditions are not good.
The moment Lennok was trying to get out of this place without regret before the agents completely surrounded it.
“I wanted to know about Kaise. It’s not comparable to the president, but I know a few things about him.”
Virgil said quickly.
“I know how Kaise Bajour’s body was disposed of. To be precise, I can introduce you to someone who knows about him.”
Lennok’s steps, which were about to disappear across the hallway, stopped.
“I’m not asking for too much. We only need time until the other bosses who have been away come back.”
Virgil added in a slightly urgent tone.
Even at this moment, they know that agents who have infiltrated the headquarters may be searching all over the company’s internal archives.
“The deepest underground vault of the headquarters. There’s a server room in it that holds the internal data. The machine city ticket extracted from Kansoa’s corpse is also stored there.”
“….”
“I’m not asking you to completely cheat with your agent. It’s enough to interfere with the operation over there.”
Instead of answering that question, Lennok took out a piece of tobacco in his arms and held it in silence.
Lennok lit it with a snap of his fingers, biting on a cigarette, exhaling smoke and laughing.
“You’ll have to pay for the fact that you didn’t talk about it quickly.”
“…of course.”
After hearing Lennok’s answer, Virgil quickly went back to the boss’s office and opened the closet.
Virgil’s expression as he gazed at the red gauntlet decorated in the display case was bloody.

Tutu Tutu!!
The night sky with strong winds.
Outer hangar for transport ships running through dark clouds at night.
Hina O’Neil looked down with a complicated expression at the street where the Cartel’s skyscrapers stood in a shower, then turned her head.
An elderly woman leaning against a chair on a transport ship, sleeping soundly, wearing an eyepatch.
It is hard to believe that he was the one who planned and directed this operation from beginning to end.
Hina asked as she held onto her glasses, which were shaking in the wind, with both hands.
“Chief, is this really right?”
At her words, Director Greta pushed up the eyepatch with one finger.
“Agent Oneil. What else are you so upset about?”
“The fact that our agent is touching the Triumvirate at this point is….”
Hina sighed.
“If things go wrong, we might all take the blame and end up in a special prison.”
A cartel, a corporate alliance that is mentioned as the Three Heads of the Shadows.
The existence of the president and powerful board of directors led by the 8th-level monster Oliviera Lone Maze is of course threatening, but the true value is not in the cartel’s force.
With over a hundred subsidiaries and footholds in the vast majority of shadow businesses, their influence goes beyond the surface.
It is to the extent that the dark industry and economic structure that goes back because of it is more visible than the evil caused by the existence of the cartel.
Furthermore, Balkan, a huge city, is a unique environment in which the sun and the dark have grown up while opposing and coexisting with each other since its inception.
Among the powerful people in the Central Council, there are many who have secret connections with the cartel.
It is not strange that it is not the retaliation of the dark side for touching the wrong one, but rather, it is not strange that the positive side’s checks are pouring towards the agent.
Hina Oneil knew that this operation could lead to a situation close to the worst.
Greta looked at Hina with an interesting gaze, then smiled and shook her head.
“Maybe it’s because I’ve been working in the field for a long time, so I have a pretty good eye for this. It was nice to bring him too.”
“So now is not the time to say such things….”
“But your guess is wrong. Rather, now that we can openly attack the cartel headquarters like this.”
Leaving the speechless Hina alone, Greta picked up her watch and checked the time.
“Current time is 11:37 on Friday night. It is also the month when the quarter of the year has completely passed. It’s a time when smaller companies are struggling to settle their quarterly sales.”
“yes?”
“On the contrary, large dinosaur companies have relatively late settlement schedules, so they are rather free during this time. Do you know why I am saying this now?”
Greta grinned.
“The complex specificity of the cartel as a corporate federation. At this time, the large cartel headquarters is free, but the subsidiaries that make up the arms and legs of the cartel are busy. Perhaps the other presidents and directors are also preoccupied with organizing their divisions and company sales.”
It was only then that Hina’s expression changed when she understood the meaning of Greta’s words.
“At this point in time when Dead Rise has not returned and the Bagoong Fort has fallen, we cannot miss the opportunity to exploit the loopholes of the cartel, which is growing endlessly. Cartel head office at the top and the basement safe at the bottom. Even if you can attack one of the two and extract the internal data, it is a success.”
Saying that, Greta picked up something from the end of the transport and put it on her shoulder.
Clap!!
Realizing that it was a gigantic bazooka the size of Greta herself, Hina jumped up from her seat.
“Wait a minute…!! If you shoot it here, other agents will be discovered even infiltrating the headquarters… … !!”
“Hina.”
Greta laughed, calling her by her friendly name in an instant.
“If things have progressed this far, it’s as if they’ve already been caught. What do you keep trying to get away with?”
“….”
Greta giggled as she thrust the long missile upside down into the muzzle of the bazooka.
Seeing Greta like that, Hina felt speechless.
If the agent succeeds in the operation against the cartel headquarters, the status of the organization will rise to an absurd level.
Even if the operation fails, Greta can quickly spread the fact that the agent’s internal tone is being aggressively changed under her own responsibility.
Bringing down the risks to a manageable level while maximizing the benefits that can be obtained from the success of the operation.
He throws a series of reckless moves close to gambling, organically thinking about making ends meet.
This is how Greta Witherhild, reinstated as Agent Director, handled things.
“Then, let’s fire a big salute right away!!”
As Greta laughed and pulled the trigger, the missile that came out of the bazooka shot straight toward the top floor of the cartel headquarters.
Accurately targeting the president’s office, explosives with more than enough firepower to blow up half the building district exploded on the spot.
At the same time as the collision, the corolla burned and turned the ground into a sea of fire.
Kwaaaaang!!!
* * *
Dark high-rise building corridor with lights off.
A series of figures crawling like spiders across the hallway walls, where only the noise coming through the ventilation shafts.
The Cartel assault force and Agent agents, who noticed the outside intrusion, clashed wildly throughout the building.
Kwaaaang!!
“mister. You’re older than you think The scum of the cartel isn’t bad at all.”
A man with a bald head and an unknown tattoo, with a ferocious look, loosened his tie roughly and said.
His fists were covered in blood, as if he had already dealt with several members of the cartel assault force with his bare hands.
The figure of a middle-aged man covered in blood while being grabbed by the collar in the hands of such a man.
The middle-aged man, who had been glaring at the bald man with a look that seemed to stop breathing at any moment, gritted his teeth.
“agent. The price for this will be very severe… … !”
The momentum flowing from the middle-aged man’s body was considerable, but the battle situation had already tilted to one side.
Manager of the cartel’s armed forces and member of the board of directors.
Even though most of them went back to their subsidiaries, the superhumans who remained at the head office somehow resisted.
Only corpses and blood remain in the place where the agent’s elite troops swept away.
“cost?”
A bald-headed agent with a tattoo on his face smiled and raised his hand.
“Since I’ve been living for a while, people who say such things always go first.”
Awesome!!
As I slapped the middle-aged man on the chin without hesitation, his eyes quickly began to lose focus.
“Looking at our current situation, isn’t that necessarily wrong?”
“Keuk… … !!”
The body of the director of the cartel, who was trying to hold on somehow while swallowing blood, sagged and the man who threw it away smiled and looked away.
“This is what makes it fun to deal with garbage in the shade. There is no back and forth, and no one says anything.”
“Hey…!!”
“Being on the side of justice is not a bad modifier at times like this.”
The employees of the cartel, who were hiding near the hallway of the office, trembled under the gaze.
Unlike the cartel assault force, ordinary employees in charge of administrative work at the head office remained without being able to escape.
Those who do not have any magic power or fighting power, so they cannot easily escape from this place and remain.
The moment when the bald-headed agent licked his lips and raised his magic toward those employees.
“How about letting those who can’t fight go?”
A man walked out of the dark hallway far away.
“We don’t have enough energy to subdue those who resist. Don’t lose your strength over useless things.”
Gray hair and a shaggy beard. Curved shoulders full of wrinkles.
Only a thin sword hangs from the waist of the old man who staggers as if he is about to collapse.
“Inspiration What do you mean?”
The bald-headed man looked back at the old man and smiled sharply.
“These guys didn’t kill people themselves, but they’re trash that ate all kinds of insects in the dark. It is the same accomplice.”
“is it?”
the old man replied calmly.
“I’m old, so I don’t know about complicated things like that. But when I was an agent, I didn’t even touch the powerless.”
With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked in front of the bald-headed executive and chuckled.
“Young people these days are so ruthless. Isn’t it?”
“Ha, I didn’t bother crawling and talking about something….”
The bald-haired man smiled crookedly and glanced away.
“Don’t worry, I know that Director Greta made room for old people like you to lie down. I understand?”
The bald-headed man is also an agent of the agent in charge of breaking through the operation area with his platoon.
The excitement was broken, but that doesn’t mean I forgot what I had to do.
“I’ll keep doing what I’m doing with my men… … .”
However, the man who responded and turned his gaze to find his subordinates was immediately speechless.
It was because, like him, his subordinates, who secretly enjoyed masochism under the agent’s authority, were all lying face down with their eyes closed and their bubbles biting.
The old man shook his head in pity.
“I told you so.”
“…Inspiration. Is that what you did?”
The bald-headed man turned his head with bloodshot eyes.
“Did you knock all my men down?”
If all of the man’s subordinates fainted in the order in which the old man approached the corridor, wouldn’t there be only one reason?
However, the old man looked at the man with pity and clicked his tongue.
“You still don’t know what happened. How did Greta come up with the idea of putting such a worm like this into the operation?”
“This kid is really…!”
Kirik!!
At the moment when the man was screaming and about to rush at him, the old man’s hand touched the man’s temple in an instant.
His hand movements were so nimble that he couldn’t even see the movement of his arms.
But the reason the old man reached out to the man’s temple was not to subdue him.
The old man, who slowly withdrew his hand, held it out in front of the man’s eyes.
“Can you feel it now?”
paper weave… … !!
An electric current the size of a finger that glistened with blue mana.
The man’s complexion turned pale as he realized that the silent shrapnel had almost pierced his temple.
“What….”
“There is no sound, no trajectory, no speed. It just shows up there.”
said the old man calmly.
“Your subordinates felt the same way. Do you understand what I am talking about now?”
“….”
“An incredible level of magician occupies this space. It’s a monster that can be used for precise sniping by leaping into space.”
“I’m crazy….”
“You shouldn’t fall away from me like this.”
The old man laughed.
“Do you think you can recognize and avoid magic by yourself?”
Perseok!
No answer came back.
Instead, the electric shock that passed between the man’s eyebrows stirred in his head and took away his entire consciousness.
“Knock… … !!”
The old man immediately turned his back on the man who collapsed with his eyes closed and convulsed.
sereung!!
I didn’t even see him pull out his sword.
As soon as the silvery-white flash crossed the dark hallway, the electric shock that fell on the top of the old man’s head cut it in two.
crackle!!
Even when the second electric shock aimed at him, the old man calmly stroked his chin.
“You can’t be arrogant. Do you intend to come all the way here and put things in your hands?”
None of the agents who were struck by the electric shock soared through space lost their breath.
That’s proof that the opponent who’s shooting this mysterious electric shock has thoroughly controlled its power and kept it in their hands just enough to keep it from dying.
However, the old man was convinced that the opponent was a monster who had killed countless people from his skillful skills.
The creepy hand that knows exactly how much it must be beaten to break and ruin a creature called human being and stops right before that.
It was proof that the opponent possessed an arrogant disposition that matched his overwhelming magic manipulation ability.
“There was no magician like this among the list of presidents that was notified in advance.”
The old man muttered that and moved on without hesitation.
“Is it the intervention of a third party, neither an enemy nor an ally…I’ll have to check the face at least.”
* * *
“Okay. Was this not enough?”
Lennok, who had been checking the old man’s appearance through magic detection, let out a faint smile.
Kneeling with an oversized sniper rifle in the middle of a huge, empty underground cavity.
A huge wing-like shape extending from Lennok’s back gently hugs the muzzle of the rifle.
“It looks like there were more talented people on the agent side that I didn’t know about….”
As Lennok muttered, he pulled out the rifle’s magazine.
Clap!!
At the bottom of the magazine that came out, the name of the common magic [Lightning Bound] was scribbled.
[Removing the Lightning Bound Cartridge.]
The clear voice of the Brain Spirit came from inside the rifle wrapped in heavy ironclad wings.
[Complete scanning of structures in a radius of 1200m. Realization of 3D conception. Review of launch angle calculations. Securing the automatic shooting algorithm.]
[Confirming that all captured shooters can shoot at this point.] A
huge 3D map of the underground facility in the Cartel Headquarters unfolds in front of Lennok.
Intense signs gradually narrowing the distance from all sides of the space.
Kirik… … !
At the same time as he slowly pulled the trigger, a soft ink-colored glow descended on the rifle’s long barrel.
[Aim correction]
[Track correction]
[Rocket shooting]
[Projection magnification]
[Friction reduction]
…
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Dozens of types of assistive shooting magic poured down on the rifle.
At the same time as the HUD floating above the gun barrel glows bright blue, the space in front of the gun barrel, which has been heated to the fullest, cracks open little by little.
[Shooting assist algorithm ver4.0 running.]
[Set center coordinates. Optimization of firing routes. Diversification of spatial indicators.]
[Assimilation rate of spatial transition 58%. Recognition of designated coordinates completed.]
Knock!!
As soon as the magazine of the sniper rifle is opened, gentle magic power embraces the barrel.
Lennok didn’t take his eyes off the scope and picked out one of the dozens of cartridges swirling around him without even looking.
Now, Lennok isn’t shooting bullets at the agent operatives who have broken into the headquarters.
After chanting and granting magic to the form of a cartridge, the rifle shoots with all the power of the magazine.
Using the archangel’s compassion and the sense of leaping into space, the mana fired in this way is transferred from the air to the designated coordinates.
The name of a new cartridge that should be used against an especially strong-looking old man among agents.
Clap!!
[Confirm the anti-torque cartridge is inserted.]
[Inherent magic, Space Transition, Leaping Shot is ready.]
Ugh…!!
“Shall we see if it can survive even if we hit the temple with unique magic directly?”
[I’m going for an electric massage that will make your heart pound!]
