Genius Wizard Takes Medicine - Chapter 229

Afterglow (2)

With the death of Parden McQueen confirmed, the uproar in the meantime began to settle quickly.

A cartel is an association of companies.

Affiliates are tied together to form huge capital, and 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, it was announced that the class of wizards in District 49 had newly become outside directors of the cartel, and everyone let out a sigh of 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 single freelancer to exert such a great influence, how long has it been since it’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a high speed.

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 hardened 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 office as the fourth president.”

“I would have said it was already over.”

Lennok replied with his chin resting on the window sill.

A thick bandage was stuck to his face, and there was no area beyond his shirt that was 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 muscles of the whole body are weakened, but also the aftermath, such as bruising on the shoulder after the injection, or inability to move the arm,

Due to the burden of directly taking out and developing imagery, the fatigue that seems to weigh down the whole body does not disappear.

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 find 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 distressed, only glanced at the half-mummy-like figure with an awkward expression on his face.

“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 unaware of 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 Lone Maze, as he had initially thought.

Even if he is formally affiliated with the cartel, he does not have the right to be 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 Lennox, the other bosses probably aren’t either.

Rather than suffer from the checks of the bosses there, it was better 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 accurately adjust the place they want to move.

With Lennok’s magic manipulation ability, he could remodel those weaknesses.

It was an item obtained in exchange for completing Dyke’s request perfectly, 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 I could get something similar to this, 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.”

“All right, I’m glad.”

“Rather than that, I think we should be concerned about you guys. Contrary to appearances, 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, you have never shown yourself in front of me even once while going around 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.”

Although this work was completed somehow, it is also true that 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 it wasn’t enough to turn a blind eye to McQueen’s betrayal, even the act of trying to get Lennok in 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.

In other words, it means that at this point in time, I want to avoid the cartel’s president’s powers being consumed 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.

This must have meant that he thoroughly rejected McQueen and his affiliates, and that Virgil cooperated with Lennox.

Only after everything was over, 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.

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

But that reaction alone was enough to determine the truth.

Lennok grinned.

“Well, if you don’t want to say more, let’s 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 do you mean she stuck her jaw in knowing that her tail would be caught?”

“… … 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.

At Iola, who was silent as if he would rather not respond, Lennok, who returned the magic eye she had entrusted as collateral, cast his gaze 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?

Powers and cliques that have stagnated for a long time tend to rot, and it is not unusual for newcomers to fill the gaps.

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 think I should 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 had 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 he can take a day off, but his teammates will help him keep up.

In this street where there was no one to trust, it was indeed a long break.

* * *

“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 thick white fur and the size of a truck.

Iola’s shoulders trembled slightly as the phantom beast, which looked like a wolf but had more than three prongs on its tail, growled.

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

“Merilda, 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 president position, 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?”

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

Realizing belatedly that she had a dog-like muzzle in her mouth, Merylda went berserk, but, as Kansoa said, the chairman seemed to notice, so she 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 deliberately didn’t say anything about the president, but he was aware of that all by himself… … .”

Virgil crossed his arms and smiled bitterly, 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 is best to embrace. Will everyone agree on this?”

“… … .”

He single-handedly inflicted tens of billions of losses on the Three Heads, and in the process, noticed the cartel’s infighting and conversely proposed a deal to Virgil.

No matter how old he was, he killed McQueen, a magician who reached level 7, and gathered his actions so far to approach the chairman’s secret.

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

As long as it was discovered that the order within the organization, which was controlled by the chairman’s power, was unstable, it would be absurd to turn him into an enemy.

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