“The reason for sending Felix is ​​obvious. Because this man is in overall command of the mercenary corps. He sent us an opponent who could make a clean deal while setting our face in moderation.”

“… … Anyway, that’s how it is.”

Felix cleared his throat and Lennok nodded.

In other words, the conversation with Dyke has already ended, and isn’t it a step that requires detailed coordination with Antares?

It’s surprising that Jenny recruited so many collaborators in such a short time, but it’s also surprising that things have already progressed this much.

I can roughly guess what Dyke’s thoughts were when he rushed into this.

Because Lennok’s skill in dealing with the cigar-bang gang and the profit he gained from monopolizing the weapons business were considerable, he tapped the calculator and decided to sneak his foot into Lennok’s side.

In any case, it must have been calculated that even if this action led to a bad relationship with the cartel, there would be no threat to the weapons business, and that, if done well, it could rather steal the other side’s pie.

Considering the personality of Dike’s planning chief, Panoa, whom Lennok knew, the decision seemed clever at first glance, but it was quite a reasonable decision.

Sending only Kilian alone, if you ask me, must be a ulterior motive to get rid of pretentiousness with Kilian alone.

The idea is obvious, but it’s not bad.

Killian’s skill itself is not at a level where he can get in the way, so he’ll be helpful when he needs a hand.

The problem was on the Antares side.

It’s surprising that the mercenaries with the most talented people in the industry didn’t give a negative answer to this, but I didn’t know that a mercenary the size of Felix would come and say that he wanted to make a deal.

Does that mean that Lennok and Jenny have a chance of winning?

“I want to hear more details. Is that why you came?”

“Before that, it looks like someone will step aside.”

Felix said that while looking at Killian with sharp eyes.

Even if it was Killian, he couldn’t light the candle here, so he stood up while clicking his tongue.

“Well, it can’t be helped if you’re busy with work. I’ll be downstairs Shouldn’t we join the mercenaries who are busy running around right now?”

Quickly, Kilian stood up and left the office, leaving only the three of them left.

Only then did Felix’s mouth open.

“First of all, I would like to speak from my point of view. I think the business you started has great potential.”

“… … .”

Lennok turned his head to Jenny instead of answering.

The story of the business, from beginning to end, took place while Lennok was in the Dominion.

I hadn’t heard anything about logistics distribution except that she had started tinkering with it.

“The idea of ​​intercepting the shadowy logistics distribution business by using business operators involved in inter-city trade as investors is very groundbreaking. Especially if Jenny, who was Kaise’s blood relative, takes the initiative. The scavengers are now in charge of the task, but it was only soybeans that they ate because they were faithful dogs of the Three Heads… … . If you get it right and get down to business, it’ll be a matter of seconds to bring in the pie.”

Felix said so and rested his chin on his muscular arms.

“The problem is that a lot of people on this floor think the same as me. And the same goes for the cartel. That’s why you started using your hands as soon as you started your business.”

“Is it because you are confident in the success of the material distribution business that you are actively checking it?”

“yes. That’s why Jenny’s proposal worries me a lot. If you take one side here, we’ll have to be together until this board is settled. I didn’t want to touch it as much as possible, but… … .”

Felix said that and dumped the coffee cup on the table into his beak at once.

It seemed that even the liver would not go through with the caffeine entering his body, which is quite large.

“Our boss thinks differently.”

“… … .”

I don’t even need to hear who the boss Felix is ​​talking about here is.

The director of the Antares office, which occupied the pinnacle of the mercenary industry in this vast metropolis.

Even though he is not involved in outside activities at all, there is no one who does not know his face, and there is no one who is not sure of his skills.

Mercenary leader Antares.

Dylan and Mila. The leader, who had a team of outstanding mercenaries like Felix, was now turning his attention to Lennok.

“Felix. Just keep it simple.”

Jenny opened her mouth.

“I appreciate the fact that you have a very positive opinion of our business, but wouldn’t we be able to negotiate only if you told us what you wanted? Do you want to transfer your stake when this business officially goes public?”

“… … .”

“At the time you visited our office, you seem to have already made up your mind, but it’s okay to wait a while.”

Her eyes shone sharply.

“Isn’t it because Antares wants something else, so he stretches out his words so grandiosely?”

“hmm.”

Felix silently stroked his beak with a large hand.

“You still have such a good feeling, Miss. It is as you say.”

‘My dear… … .’

Jenny, who has spread her legs in various places and has a wide network of contacts, doesn’t have many opponents who use honorific words.

Considering her tendency, Felix is ​​probably… … .

The conversation continues while Lennok is lost in thought.

“There are two main conditions. As Lady Jenny said, confirming whether you are willing to give up some business interests to this side. In this case, the detailed conditions will be adjusted after defeating the cartel.”

Antares doesn’t seem to think that Jenny and the cartel will go to the end when they face each other.

Jenny must have guessed to some extent as well, but her expression did not change.

“second. Our leader wants to meet the class separately. I would like you to give me some time.”

Did Felix take so long just to put forward these conditions?

As Lennok turned his head slightly puzzled, Felix added,

“I want serious sparring based on the premise of mutual injury.”

“… … .”

“Felix. Please tell me if I’m crazy.”

Just like the knife-like answer of Jenny, that request was too much for Lennox to accept at this point.

I don’t know how belligerent Antares is, but it would be a huge loss if Lennok was injured in sparring with Antares now that the conflict with the cartel is likely to escalate.

In addition, Lennok is a wizard who does not fit the word sparring.

No matter how much Lennok has built his reputation by killing countless strong men in succession, no one would think that he would be able to go one-on-one with a warrior the size of Antares.

But Lennok nodded at the request.

“good.”

“half?”

“If I can borrow the name of Antares enough to mix hands with the mercenary leader over there, it’s an extra business. The second condition I do not accept. As long as I agree with Jenny in a reasonable way on the first condition, I’m fine.”

The situation has changed drastically at the point where the Krimgal mercenary corps and Dike Corporation have already joined.

Apart from simply inflicting one-sided damage against the cartel, this side can also form forces and fight power.

That meant that the chances of Lennok or Jenny continuing their tight tug-of-war against the cartel increased significantly.

‘It’s come to a point where you can’t pull your tail off. The fact that I put up these conditions must mean that there is something they want to say to me from the other side as well.’

Although he hadn’t gotten his hands on the image that would reach level 7 yet, Lennok’s harvest from the Dominion was by no means small.

Various medicines and all kinds of goods. Personal magic achievements and artifacts obtained through Akasha and Weizen in the process.

And crucially, the existence of the rosary, the Pure Land God, which he received from Lapis made Lennok more cautious.

The highest quality tool that Madrea Palsire, the Celestial Dog, used until right before she became an Ascendant.

If this artifact restrains the opponent by suppressing and sealing a specific space, it is sufficient for Lennok to safely take out his body in any situation.

If he collects information about Antares and starts a fight based on it, Lennok won’t suffer a big loss in this matter.

Jenny saw Lennok’s face and pursed her lips, then let out a deep sigh and nodded together.

It was possible because I knew that Lennok would not make such a judgment without any basis.

“ha… … great. So, please send Dylan Ocasey to us right now. If he’s still hanging out at our bar, the cartel will know what I mean.”

“Dylan is currently away with other things… … There are many members here who want to participate in this work. There will be no shortage of power.”

“… … great. For now, including that part, it would be better to negotiate the terms.”

After that, Lennok left the bar, leaving Felix and Jenny in the middle of their negotiations.

As if it was not a lie to say that Felix had a positive view of this business, he had been asking for a part of the business in a very specific way.

Negotiations were running in an endless parallel line with Jenny’s words that if that was the case, the entire Antares mercenary corps would come into this company.

In addition, as Lennok speculated, Felix must have been one of Kaise’s men at one time, and when he started talking about the old days, he thought that it would be better to move away, so he stood up first.

As we went downstairs to the bar, the mercenaries guarding our seats greeted us.

I accepted it with a rough nod, and when I came out, I saw people circling the surroundings secretly and unnoticed.

In the meantime, it seemed that Dray had already organized the mercenaries’ tasks and started working.

It would be enough to ask later how the patrol method was decided.

Lennok thought that and moved on.

Before starting work, there was something to be done personally.

* * *

We left Area 49 and headed to Area 31, where the Botanical Garden was located.

A dusky evening. Because it was a weekday, I passed through the empty botanical garden and headed to the orchard inside.

As usual, in the dark blue fog, an old man who had been playing around greeted Lennok.

“What are you going to do this time?”

The old man smiled suspiciously and looked up at him.

It is an old man who seems to be killing time on the outside, but his ears are covered all over this street.

Thanks to this, the old man had a fairly accurate memory of Lennok’s face and name, which was rare.

He’s a weird guy.

When I first saw him, he was one of the rare freelancers, but now there is no one in the 40th district who doesn’t know his name.

There are few people who don’t know about the destruction of the gangster Cigar Bang, who ruled the 48th district, and the black magicians who were plotting rebellion in the undeveloped district.

It wasn’t enough to handle various types of magic of unknown origin, and his combat skills, which never gave way even when he competed with most warriors in the front, were becoming as famous as Ban’s name.

Occasionally, if you browse the deep web, you’ll find plenty of anonymous clients asking why Van hasn’t been accepting nominations lately.

It is quite significant that this man, who completely conceals his residence, real name, affiliation, and all identities, is the only one of his official activities other than a request to visit the orchard.

Is his particular preference for tobacco really just a simple sign, or does it contain more meaning than that?

The old man was not ignorant of the rumors floating around, so whenever he stopped by the orchard, he kept an eye on the things he was buying.

Maybe the secret of his unusual strength and growth speed is hidden in the beginning of the cigarette he smokes.

Lenok, who was looking down at the old man with emotionless eyes, slowly opened his mouth.

“I want to buy some medicine.”

“Things are prepared to overflowing. As long as you have money, you can take anything.”

The old man giggled and rubbed his hands like flies.

It is unusual that he does not hesitate to make infinitely servile gestures, yet does not appear to do so at all.

“So, what shall I give you? It’s about time that the effects of the Double Scarlet and Feather Fall you recently bought run out. But that’s the way it is. If you’re looking for something that doesn’t have any side effects, you end up biting your lip at the slightly disappointing effect.”

“… … .”

“I know very well. Isn’t it the same law for people who smoke drugs? I understand. I try to draw the line somehow, saying I can control myself, but the world of this drug is like a mire, and I can’t get out of it once I step into it… … .”

Even in the eyes of the old man who said that, the weak energy still gleamed, more than anything else, it proved his words accurately.

But even after hearing those words, Lennok’s gaze did not change.

Disappointed at the indifferent reaction, the old man tilted his back and nodded his head.

“Now, let me know what you want this time. I’m starting to wonder what kind of medicine the half of the 49th district likes. Once the specimens start to gather, it’s not difficult to create a custom one full of your taste. It’s a service for regulars, but there’s nothing I can’t do for you.”

The old man said so and waited for Lennok’s answer.

Lennok looked around the wide shelf behind the old man and said,

“Give me everything.”

“… … what?”

“All kinds of drugs here, sample by sample.”
