Drug-Eating Genius Mage
Chapter 228

Yeo-woon (2)

With the death of Parden McQueen confirmed, the upheaval began to settle quickly.

A cartel is an association of companies.

Affiliates are tied together to form huge capital, but it is not difficult to cut off the tail.

In the meantime, those who interfered with Lennok’s business, including the 49th district, were all responsible for the first president Parden McQueen and his affiliates, and the cartel mercilessly cut off the remaining affiliates.

At the same time, through the announcement of the first quarter results, when it was announced that the class of wizards in District 49 had been newly appointed as outside directors of the cartel, everyone sighed in relief, realizing that the dispute that had been going on for almost a month had finally come to an end.

“It’s like this too.”

“I never thought that McQueen would die suddenly during the handover process… … Am I the only one who smells something?”

“Quiet. Do you think we keep our mouths shut because we don’t know that?”

“Um… … .”

It is strange that he is not disturbed by the generational change that occurred with the death of the chairman’s oldest loyalist.

In addition, McQueen is the closest aide who led the execution unit, which was the most directly related to the armed forces among the cartel’s divisions.

Rumors began to circulate that Lennok, who naturally replaced him, would replace the cartel’s force.

“It probably means that the organization has a wizard who wiped out the execution squad.”

“But if so, shouldn’t I have put at least half of it into the position of president?”

“I wonder if there was checks from the other bosses.”

It’s not enough for a freelancer to exert such a great influence, and it’s been a long time since it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.

It was only natural that the public’s attention was focused on it.

Subsequently, when information circulated that Virgil Oreiden would change his position to the first president and begin to organize a new armed force, the rumors solidified into conviction.

Sympathy for Lennock, who should have succeeded McQueen as the new president, began to spread in the streets.

No one knew the truth behind Lenock’s own rejection of the presidency.

“Are you really okay?”

Iola said, looking down at the coffee cup in front of her.

“The opportunity won’t come again unless it’s now that McQueen’s hiatus has disrupted the chain of command. Not to mention, this quarter, when the president’s direct approval fell… … If he goes into confinement again, it will be difficult for Ban to take over as the fourth president.”

“I would have said it was already over.”

Lennok replied with his chin resting on the window sill.

There is a thick bandage on his face, and there is no area beyond his shirt that is not covered with a bandage.

An injury that seems to prove that the battle with McQueen was not an easy battle.

In fact, Lennok was still suffering from the side effects of various doping attempts right before the battle to develop the magnetic field.

Not only the muscle mass of the whole body is weakened, but also the aftermath of bruising on the shoulder after the injection or the arm not moving well, as well as the burden of taking out and developing the

image directly, the fatigue that seems to weigh down the whole body does not disappear. there is.

If you use the potion or elixir that Lennok developed himself, you should be able to get better, but there is no reason to rely on medicine again since you have taken care of all urgent matters right away.

Rather, in the current situation, it is a perfect situation to replace out how much his natural healing power is.

That’s why Lennok took the inconvenience and wrapped himself in bandages and plasters.

Iola, who had never seen Lennok tired or in pain, let alone injured, only glanced at him half-mummy with an awkward expression.

“A position as an outside director is enough. Even if you accept the position of president, you will only be tied to the organization… … .”

It’s not that Lennok isn’t oblivious to the prestige of the cartel’s presidency.

A place where you can directly manage the affiliates of that huge alliance. Perhaps the authority that comes into hand is greater than Lennok imagined.

However, Lennok did not think it was necessary to be formally incorporated under the command of Oliviera Ron Maze, as he had initially thought.

Even if he is formally affiliated with the cartel, he does not have the authority next to the chairman, and he will only receive a new position as the 4th president, which is no different from other presidents.

Even if Virgil is somewhat sympathetic to Lennok, the other bosses probably aren’t.

Rather than suffer from the checks of the bosses there, it was more advantageous to make concessions and skip other benefits while leaving the cartel behind.

“What were the terms of the deal I said?”

“We have already obtained the approval of Virgil and Kansoa. What’s left is the question of how Merilda-sama will accept it… … There will probably be no problems.”

Iola answered.

“There’s no way you wouldn’t refuse to accept a request for access to the cartel’s executive vault in exchange for giving up your job as president.”

“… … good.”

From the beginning, I had no regrets about being the president, but I didn’t mean to just smile like a good person.

Shouldn’t you come out with all the rewards you can get from that huge organization?

The cartel’s executive vault.

Among the huge organizations of the Three Heads, it is rumored to be an artifact warehouse that only key executives can access.

As it is the safe of the Cartel, which is said to be the richest in terms of money among the Three Heads, there are no doubt that Lennok will have useful items ready.

‘The best thing would be to bring more five fingers of Enakpil… … .’

It goes without saying how useful the artifacts of the space movement series can be.

Enakpil’s five fingers are made to evacuate the bodies of VIPs urgently, so they have the disadvantage of not being able to precisely adjust the location they want to move to, but with Lennok’s magic manipulation ability, he can

remodel such a disadvantage.

It was an item obtained in exchange for completing the Dyke Company’s request, but the more you use it, the more you realize the true value of this artifact.

That’s why Lennok also cherished this artifact only when it was really needed.

A monster enough to guess how much effort Panoa put into persuading Lennok.

Originally made with five pencils, only three artifacts remained.

It would be great if we could get something similar or an identical artifact from the cartel’s safe.

Or at all, I think it would be okay to transfer one or two of his items to Virgil in return for this job… …

“why… … Is that so?”

Iola trembled at the sharp look in Lennok’s eyes and averted his gaze.

It seemed that she herself had not yet escaped the pain of the lightning strike.

“… … Nothing. If you accept the safe pass and some of the requirements I mentioned, I have no more complaints.”

“It’s all good.”

“Rather than that, I think we should be concerned about you guys. Contrary to what it looks like, isn’t it a pretty precarious situation?”

“… … .”

Iola kept her mouth shut at the words of Lennok, who casually stabbed her in the middle.

Lennok looked down and smiled.

“Your president has never shown himself in front of me even once, even when he was under such strong pressure… … .”

“I don’t know.”

“It’s obvious even if you don’t say it. It’s probably that the power is tied up or weakened by some means. Then it is true that what happened this time can be explained quite a bit.”

It is true that this work was completed somehow, but no matter how much you think about it, there were doubtful parts.

The reaction of the chairman was lukewarm even considering the strangely slow response of the cartel and the infighting.

A catering act that opened an executive meeting at the risk of suddenly attracting attention in the middle of the city.

And not enough to turn a blind eye to McQueen’s betrayal, even the act of trying to get Lennok to deal with it.

At first glance, it may seem like a transcendental pastime that is difficult to understand, but it is understandable if all of these things were not simple pleasures but the absence of ability.

I don’t want to involve my subordinates in dealing with McQueen.

Conversely, it means that at this point, I want to avoid the consumption of the cartel’s president’s powers somehow.

Even if he had to turn a blind eye to McQueen’s betrayal right away, he was trying to prevent the president-level powers from advancing directly.

That must have meant that this time thoroughly rejected McQueen and his affiliates and Virgil cooperated with Lennox.

It was only after everything was over that Lennok was able to read the circumstances that had not been seen in this incident from one step away.

“I don’t know much about the internal circumstances of the organization, but it’s a situation where your president can’t easily reveal himself. Besides, if President 1 directly beats the betrayal, it would be quite dangerous, wouldn’t it?”

“… … .”

“If you think about the guys who come up from the bottom, maybe… … .”

Lennok muttered that, then cut off and turned his head to Iola.

A cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and she lowered her gaze.

I know that I shouldn’t show my expression now because my head is working well and I’ve been rolling on this floor for that long.

But that reaction alone was enough to determine the truth.

Lennok grinned.

“If you don’t want to say anything more, stop here. Virgil must be in trouble.”

“that… … .”

“My advice would be to keep an eye on the organization McQueen was trying to get attached to. Maybe the next time the president’s team comes forward, it will be closely related to that side. What does it mean that you stuck your mouth out when you knew you would get caught by the tail?”

“… … The story with Ten Counts has already ended. The other side first showed its willingness to negotiate and reached an amicable agreement… … .”

“It’s called Ten Counts.”

“… … .”

Iola, realizing that she was being fooled by Lennok, kept her mouth shut.

In fact, with that one word, it was tantamount to admitting all the conjectures that had been made so far.

Iola, who was silent as if he’d rather not answer, threw his eyes out the window.

It’s fun.

The triumvirate of the underworld. Is the relationship between the giants who have dominated this floor for decades about to change little by little?

It is not so strange that powers and cliques that have stagnated for a long time are bound to rot, and soon newcomers fill the place.

The power and money that still overflow in the megacities are constantly flowing.

Even the shadows cast over the underworld can’t stand still.

With one foot slightly dipped in the cartel, Lennok just waits to see how things play out and makes the best choice.

Wasn’t that why he rejected the position of president and accepted the business card of being an outside director?

Lennok, who was looking out at the street scene with his chin resting on his chin, muttered blankly.

“I’ll have to make a nameplate.”

The management planning department of Dyke Enterprises. Agent’s outside advisor. Are you now an outside director of Cartel?

It wasn’t once or twice that he accepted a fake nameplate, but as a result, Lennok made good use of even that nameplate.

The relationship with the cartel should also be like that in the end.

Lennok thought so and slowly closed his eyes.

Since the body is heavy, the eyelids keep trying to become heavy as well.

I didn’t have to refuse to fall asleep.

Hadn’t the Dominion been running out of breath so far?

Now, even if he takes a day off, his teammates will help him keep up.

It was a long break on this street where there was no one to trust.

* * *

“So I can’t go to him and get anything… … . This is what I came to tell you about the internal situation, right?”

Kreureung… … !

A sharp, wild breath like that of a wild dog filled the room.

A huge canine beast with voluminous white fur and the size of a truck.

Iola’s shoulders trembled slightly as the phantom beast with a unique appearance that resembled a wolf but had more than three forked tails growled.

Virgil, who had been watching them, let out a deep sigh.

“Merylda, do it in moderation. Then why don’t you go and negotiate yourself?”

“Shut up Virgil. I still don’t like that skinny wizard.”

Merilda, in the form of a gigantic beast, growled.

The sharp fangs protruding from the corners of her mouth shone.

“I don’t like the idea of him being promoted to the same position as the president, but to refuse it and ask for a pass to the executive safe… … That’s even more annoying!!”

Khuong!

“… … .”

Virgil and Kansoa looked at the beast suddenly roaring into the air with pitiful faces.

“Merilda, be quiet. What kind of rudeness are you doing when the president is still asleep?”

Kansoa, a middle-aged woman with a nervous impression, waved her hand, and in an instant, cold crystals gathered and put a muzzle on Merilda’s mouth.

Realizing belatedly that she had a dog-like muzzle in her mouth, Merylda went mad, but as Kansoa said, the chairman seemed to notice and eventually returned to her human form.

Fluorescent hair. It was a strong impression that did not match her hair color at all, but the phantom beast’s sense of beauty was far removed from that of humans.

Virgil and Kansoa were well aware of that part, so they said nothing.

“It’s a tricky thing. I purposely didn’t say anything about the President, but I was aware of that all by myself… … .”

Virgil crossed his arms and smiled wryly, and Iola bowed her head in silence.

“It’s not your fault.”

Kansoa gave a soft consolation.

“It’s just that the mage is too sharp. To infer such a thing just by looking at the president’s actions and words… … . It must mean that you are not simply a strong opponent.”

“Chit… … .”

Merilda also reluctantly turned her head away.

Iola is a flawless talent in terms of work, to the extent that she volunteered for Oliviera’s ‘research’.

There was no point in interrogating her, and Virgil and Kansoa were quite fond of her.

“It’s best to embrace it. Everyone will agree on this, right?”

“… … .”

He single-handedly inflicted tens of billions of losses on the Three Heads, noticed the cartel’s infighting in the process, and

conversely proposed a deal to Virgil. Approached.

Among the divinities who appeared on this earth after two years, where was the one who proved himself so perfectly with both power and intelligence?

It would be absurd to turn him into an enemy now that it was discovered that the order within the organization, which was controlled by the president’s power, was unstable.

Rather, it was best to consistently give authorities and privileges within the organization and attract them on the other hand.
