Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Discussion (3)

Iola’s appearance was as surprising as her appearance.

While using both arms and legs freely and fighting Wei An, she was supporting her crutches with one arm.

Her rather emaciated face and her hazy eyes are impressive.

After the battle that day, the aftereffects were severe, and the magic pattern had changed considerably.

It’s only natural that Lennok didn’t notice her while she came right up to the bar.

Lennok’s colleagues, who had been laughing and talking casually in the bar, stood up all at once.

As she is an executive of the cartel who had a direct conflict, her personal information has been shared for a long time.

Even in the feast of sharp killings pouring out at random, Iola stood calmly and received their gaze.

Dray asked in a sharp voice.

“How did you break through our guards? I haven’t received any contact from the outside… … .”

“I got help from Virgil. I am just a messenger dispatched for this task.”

“… … .”

What can be answered to the statement that a president-level executive put his hand on it himself?

Rumors that each of the founders of the cartel had their own unique abilities were well-known on this street, so there was no further explanation.

“I received a call from Ban-nim. Can we get to the point?”

“It’s a good word to sell that very much.”

Killian growled and slowly approached Iola.

“You don’t think you can visit enemy places alone and return safely, don’t you?”

Lennok, who had been watching them from behind, shook his head.

“Killian. Stop it.”

“half?”

“That woman came to answer my message. The fact that Virgil chose her and sent her must mean that he really wants to settle down with Eun-won right here.”

“… … .”

Lennok asked, ignoring Killian who grumbled and stepped back.

“What about business cards?”

“Here it is.”

Iola pulled Virgil’s business card from her bosom and set it down on the bar.

The business card that Virgil gave and Van returned.

It was proof that he came to this place after receiving the two people’s intentions.

“Excuse me, can I sit down and talk?”

Iola asked Lennok with a nonchalant expression.

“As you can see, it’s hard to stand still for a long time with this body.”

“As convenient as possible.”

Iola did not hesitate and immediately pulled out a bar stool and sat down.

The posture of showing his back to Lennok’s colleagues gathered at the bar.

It’s a defenseless attitude, but that’s why you can’t touch it carelessly.

Anyone who had come to speak with Lennok would not be able to work even more in a place like this.

While the party was silent, Iola spoke first.

“I checked the message from Mr. Van.”

Her gaze moved to the business card she had put down.

A word that Lennok scribbled on the back of Virgil’s business card.

‘betrayer.’

It was a decisive opportunity for Virgil to respond to Lennok’s call.

“You seem to have found out about the internal affairs of our cartel.”

Jenny made a cup of coffee and set it down in front of Iola.

she didn’t hesitate

She lightly quenched her throat and continued.

“I was honestly surprised. No matter how frivolous a man Girard may be, he is also a member of the organization and has been a longtime colleague. I could never have thought that I would have already vomited up such a vital secret… … . Indeed, wizards are different.”

If Lennok, who captured Girard, noticed the cartel’s infighting, there is only one answer.

If Girard blew his mouth and it was related to the traitors inside the cartel, wouldn’t his immediate superior also have a close relationship with him?

“The current external conflict is to hide internal divisions. Virgil prioritizes the succession of traitors who have broken the rules of the organization above all else.”

“What do you mean?”

“On the premise that Van will guide Girard Ozet’s new recruit, Virgil said he would take responsibility and leave the matter behind.”

Those listening to the conversation between the two were visibly agitated by Iola’s declaration.

It was because, to put it mildly, it was tantamount to the boss of the cartel asking for leniency from Lennok in the first place.

Considering the difference in status between the two organizations, it is not strange to think of it as a miracle.

But Lennok shook his head with an expressionless face.

“That’s not enough.”

“… … .”

“What if I still keep Girard alive and hand him over to you after you hunt down the traitor? It wouldn’t be strange if the same thing happened again.”

It’s not strange at all if Virgil wipes his mouth after everything is settled.

Lennok didn’t trust the man named Virgil that much.

“Exactly what you want.”

“It is necessary to promise that we will fully cooperate beyond interfering with the business going on here. It wouldn’t be bad for the cartel to come in as an investor.”

Iola shut up.

“Wouldn’t that amount of promise be necessary to clean up a messy affair?”

In the end, it is impossible to guarantee victory against the Three Heads unless you become strong enough to face the Cartel’s chairman.

What Lennok can do is to accumulate maximum damage by aiming for gaps in which the top executives, including the president’s team, cannot move due to the checks of the other triumvirate, and obtain enough authority to allow Jenny’s business to operate normally.

The difference in weight class between the company that was just starting to come up with the assortment and the trio called the coalition of companies was not something that could be overcome.

Rather, it was only because Lennok had the ability to surpass most organizations that he was able to bring the plate to this point.

If it hadn’t been for him from the start, even this negotiation would have been impossible.

Iola asked.

“The physical and human damages our organization suffered as a result of this incident are easily passing tens of billions of cells. Even knowing that, do you feel that the current negotiations are absurd?”

“It’s a matter of order and justification.”

Lennok replied.

“In any case, this side is one-sidedly damaged by you guys. In addition, considering the size difference between organizations, it wouldn’t be strange if something like this happened again. I think we can make such a request under the guarantee of the person in charge.”

“… … .”

“Or did you come here to represent Virgil’s will, but didn’t even get that level of authority?”

Iola was silent for a long time at Lennok’s sharp words.

In the infinitely quiet bar, even the sound of someone swallowing saliva could be heard vividly.

“The condition that Van put forward is to interfere with the cartel’s management ethos.”

After thinking for a long time, she opened her mouth.

“Virgil, of course, has the authority as the CEO of the Planning and Management Department, but if the chairman intervenes in this matter, we cannot guarantee how it will turn out.”

“Tell me what the conclusion is.”

“I will accept it.”

Iola nodded.

“Iola Bayen, who has been entrusted with Virgil Oreiden’s authority, will take responsibility and promise in exchange for the delivery of Girard Ojet’s recruits here and now.”

As she said that, she brought her hand to her left pupil.

At the same time, Wei An’s complexion turned blue when he realized the meaning of the gesture.

Dududuk!!

A white orb appeared between Iola’s fingers.

“I’m crazy… … .”

Realizing that his entire eyeball had been pulled out, someone let out a low moan and

put down the eyeball Iola was holding in her hand with a nonchalant expression.

“It is the stationary magic eye that Ban-nim saw and gained meaning from. It was something that was transplanted by the grace of the organization. At this level, can you be held accountable for what I said?”

“… … .”

A bizarre act of plucking out eyeballs and offering them as collateral.

However, it was something he could do because he knew that Lennok had knowledge of the Mystic Eye.

Since the eyeball, which has begun to resonate with magic, breaks out of the basic biological organ category and starts to operate independently, it is possible to preserve its abilities and functions through transplantation.

In addition, until transplanted to a new user, it is common to remain magically connected to the existing holder even after being separated from the body.

If it was Lennok, Iola’s life could be controlled simply by casting a simple curse spell on this demon.

She risked her life to ensure the reliability of this promise.

“Ahahaha!!”

Lennok shook his head and laughed.

It is irrational.

To risk one’s life to have Girard Ojet’s new recruit delivered right away.

Is straightening the organization’s infighting so important to her and Virgil?

Ironically, though, Lennok didn’t hate that choice.

Since it was an action that Lennok would never choose, was it natural to be interested in people making such a decision in reverse?

“Killian.”

“Huh huh?”

“Take me to where Girard is.”

Killian made a face at Lennok’s words, but he stood up without saying anything and waved to Iola.

Tears of blood flowed from her empty left eye, and she stood up from her seat.

After the two disappeared, Belita, who had been silent until then, asked.

“Are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“The performance of plucking out one’s own eyes is a bit impressive, but it’s a bit difficult to secure trust with something like that.”

Not being overwhelmed by Iola’s spirit is a cool judgement, but even Belita, a seasoned mercenary, doesn’t seem to have any specific knowledge about the Mystic Eye.

It was rare to meet magic eye bearers even on this floor, so it was difficult to find out the related knowledge without looking for it yourself.

Lennok shook his head instead of explaining the meaning of Iola’s extraction of the demon’s eye.

“It will be fine. Virgil Oreiden cares enough to save her life. Most likely they are lovers or close blood relatives. In the first place, the fact that she sent that woman who still seemed to have trouble moving here as a messenger was… … It’s proof that Virgil is serious about this deal.”

he’s a scary man

I never thought I’d have her do this to make sure that Iola’s life was as important as moving it myself.

Contrary to the smirking attitude that appears on the outside, is it a personality that distinguishes between public and private like a knife?

If it is turned into an enemy, it is a type that can be relieved only when it is sure to stop breathing.

But that’s how Lennok can be sure that Virgil isn’t the traitor in the cartel.

If the work is completed on the line of eradicating the cartel’s internal traitors, the intangible benefits that Lennok can obtain will be enormous.

It would be nice if things went easy, but Lennok wasn’t too optimistic.

The capture of Girard and the search for the traitor.

Even throwing a winning number for a deal with the cartel.

Would we have been able to seize this opportunity had it not been for the armed protests against the cartels?

A series of events seem to have their own rational judgments mixed in, but in the end, it’s just a conversation that can’t be established without proving basic qualifications.

It is proof that only those who have proven themselves are the only ones who can judge logic and justification.

In order to call the strong people who rule this city to the negotiating table, they must eventually pass the most basic preliminary round of military force.

‘I’m glad Virgil’s doing a good job, but . . . … I’ll have to think about how things can’t be solved easily.’

He had a sense of guiding Girard’s new recruit rather early, but he couldn’t hold on for long anyway.

It’s burdensome to use the Pure Land God’s Manifesto consecutively, and the risk is too great to keep him in captivity without such an artifact.

Considering the value of the information squeezed out through continuous torture, it was not a bad idea to get rid of the afterword here.

As Lennok thought, he looked back at Manson.

I had been putting it off for a while with the appearance of Iola, but I had no intention of passing by Manson’s unusual expression.

Mad Manson is a veteran who has been working as a freelancer for a very long time on this floor, even if it seems to have gone bad.

Perhaps, among the knowledge contained within its scrap head, there might be memories that would be useful to Lennok.

Manson, perhaps noticing Lennok’s gaze, glanced away and chinned toward the back of the bar.

“… … .”

The two quietly came out from the back of the bar and casually walked down the street.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“Heh… … Aren’t you too quick to notice?”

Red eyes flickered erratically on Manson’s head.

“I thought I’d forget it soon after talking to Janice, but surprisingly, I’m still thinking about it… … .”

“… … ”

“The potion you made. It’s worth digging into. you know?”

Manson seemed to guess that Lennok hadn’t properly disclosed the potion’s effects.

“The ability to rapidly regenerate at the extremity of a body part does not end with simply attaching muscle cells and bones… … Perhaps, with adjustments, it will undoubtedly be possible to have more power than this. If it is possible to regenerate the amputated part beyond simply growing hair or nails… … .”

“Perhaps that potion will play a decisive role in the deal with the cartel.”

* * *

Girard Ozette walked down the wide hallway.

The hard handcuffs on his skinny hands and the weight dragging from both ankles drew attention.

He looks like a prisoner who has just been released from prison.

The thickly drawn eyeline around the eyes melted and flowed down, and the meticulously made-up skin was visibly dry.

It wasn’t a very lively face before, but the gauntness that barely felt the vitality made me realize the magician’s hands.

Virgil looked at it and admired it inwardly.

Even at a glance, Girard Ozette has a unique appearance, but on the inside, he is a man who is so twisted that it cannot be compared to his appearance.

Physical pain is only a mere stimulus to him.

How on earth did she deal with a man who had the mental image of changing his temper with the strength of even his own wounds, so that even though his limbs were intact, he made him blow his mouth?

‘No, I can guess to some extent… … .’

It reminds me of Iola, who couldn’t even move properly for three days after being hit by the [Thunderbolt].

Considering that she, who had a strong mind and body that allowed her to pass through any pain, suffered so much that she could not control her senses for a while, it was proof that the

magician’s depth of magic was beyond what I thought.

He is not a person who can be defined by simple terms such as level or state.

Direct force derived from practical combat sense and experience.

I already know from what happened at the abandoned factory site how dangerous it is for a magician to have a sharpness that is in no way inferior to that of warriors who fight face-to-face on the front lines.

There was no one who did not hear the sad news that not a single member of the board of directors that day, the blood mage Avid Lowell, of the 400 or so under his command had returned alive.

That was tantamount to saying that even if the cartel attempted an all-out war, they should be prepared for damages worthy of it.

How ridiculous it is that we should fear losses against a small, fledgling company.

But there was a wizard over there who made that absurd contradiction possible.

And to be honest, Virgil didn’t want to turn the wizard Van into an enemy.

That’s probably why this transaction felt even more exciting.

Girard raised his head, and Virgil’s eyes met.

Girard, who was looking up at him with blank eyes, smirked.

“Ah, CEO… … . It’s been a while since I’ve seen that face.”
