Genius Wizard Who Eats Medicine Chapter 840

Takeover (8)

– The situation at the fighting arena has been settled to some extent.

Dark skies close to midnight.

Lennok was sitting on the roof of the mansion, on his cell phone, listening to Murphy’s explanation.

– The project is put on hold. We decided to postpone the detailed evaluation until after all the designers present at the site had evacuated.

“What about the clients?”

– Most agreed. maybe it’s because of you

The voice of a young man with no strength felt somewhat sticky.

-There are many clients who want to get acquainted with Kwon-roe, so things went better than expected. For the time being, there will be no gossip about this.

“for now?”

-Because there are thousands of eyes watching your violent behavior right there. If the money you stabbed in exchange for silence runs out, won’t rumors circulate?

“I wouldn’t have had to poke the money. You didn’t reveal any great secrets.”

Did he silence all the other spectators in the underground fighting arena by stabbing them with a decent amount of money?

Considering the faces of the clients who watched the game, it wouldn’t have been difficult to raise funds.

At Lennox’s words, Murphy finally let out a sullen laugh.

– I guess so. Considering your notoriety, no matter how soft-spoken you are, you’ll be shutting up for a while.

“… … .”

-I’ve heard rumors, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it myself, so it’s amazing. Certainly, if you go around like that, you’ll have no choice but to carry around all sorts of ghost stories.

“It is not intentional. would you know?”

-yes. But that makes it even more interesting.

Murphy’s voice, which was pickled with fatigue, seemed to be a little energized.

-You don’t deny the fact that you’re broken to some extent. That’s a completely different kind of madness than going insane as a reaction to climbing the hierarchy.

“… … .”

I am no expert on psychiatry, but I do understand that it is a very peculiar kind of autosuggestion.

“What do you want to say?”

-Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.

Murphy said while Lennok was silent.

-I underestimated the ‘standard’ of talent that exists between you and me. Admit it. it’s my patch It was an arrogance that I wanted to hurry when I had the chance.

“… … .”

-I’m glad it worked out well as a result, but maybe I had to give up the trust I had with my clients that I had built up today. that… … .

For what purpose does Murphy jump into the doping business, including selling blood, and create a line with powerful people across the continent?

Could that have something to do with the fundamental motivation behind his survival after escaping from Arsnova?

In the destroyed central city, Murphy saw something and ran away. Because something remains at the center of a continent that has lost its meaning.

As Lennok was lost in his thoughts, he heard Murphy pulling away from the receiver.

-The checkup record will be sent via communication later. As promised, we will reserve capacity for one more use of the database, so come back when you want. I’ll be waiting.

Pop!

The phone hung up without being answered. I probably wouldn’t take it even if I called again.

It is doubtful whether he ever made a phone call from the other side in the first place.

As much as that, it must be proof that this business itself has an important meaning to Murphy himself.

But instead of brooding over Murphy’s past, which he couldn’t figure out right away, Lennok put his phone away and walked away.

At the far end of the balcony of the drawing room of the mansion illuminated by the soft moonlight, a visitor was waiting for him.

Lennok smiled as he walked out looking at the green eyes shining brightly under the moonlight.

“It’s been a while, Eveline. How are you?”

* * *

Green eyes that shone softly even in a dark room. Like a ghost, a vague and vague presence.

No, to put it mildly, his skill at hiding his presence was more perfect than those of Yorta’s commanders.

To the extent that even Lennok could feel its presence the moment he stepped into the drawing room.

“It is a nice house.”

Evelyn spoke first, leaving Lennok, who had stopped leaning against the balcony.

“It’s moderately far from the central area, but it’s close to the living area so it’s not unnecessarily conspicuous.”

“… … .”

“It’s an item that was remodeled from an old mansion using an expedient method, so it’s not even listed as a tradeable item. It must have been traded only in kind from quite some time ago.”

She said as she sat on the sofa with her back straight.

“Recently, the city government is meticulously handling resident registration up to the 30th district, so it must be difficult to find a place like this. I used my hand I like tricks too.”

“After doing it a few times, you get the hang of it.”

Finding shelter to live alone has been something Lennok has been doing since arriving in the Balkans.

Now, with Darby’s help, she’s been avoiding computer tracking and recording, so it’s no wonder Evelyn feels that way.

“It wasn’t difficult.”

“… … I guess so.”

Evelyn, who was silent, agreed.

“Because you always handled it tactfully no matter where you were or what you were doing.”

“… … .”

Evelyn’s words seemed to have more meaning than that.

Lennok put down the bag containing the ingredients and sat across from me.

He took out a cigarette from his bosom, put it in his mouth, and lighted it comfortably by leaning against it.

profit!

“How did you know?”

Lennok asked, puffing out smoke.

“As you said, this is a sale that is not recorded in the ledger. I saved it with care.”

“… … .”

“It would have been difficult to catch the tail after going through several washings, whether it was the transaction history or the spot. After all, is it different from being an agent?”

“Oh, not that.”

Evelyn replied calmly.

“I used the lighthouse with help from Lapis. He said he couldn’t get in touch with you, so he helped right away.”

“… … what?”

While Lennok seemed somewhat absurd, Evelyn calmly explained.

“If you were the person I knew, you wouldn’t leave any traces at all when you moved your residence. At the same time, you will want a property with a relatively large site for personal research, and you will handle it so that it does not show any signs during the transfer process.”

“… … .”

“The words are grandiose, but I just sold my feet while looking around the central Balkan area.”

Evelyn’s mouth popped out in an instant.

“I didn’t know that the mansion and the laboratory would be separated. It looks like it took five times longer than expected.”

Did he mean that he used the power of the lighthouse to look down at the 2nd and 30th divisions at once and searched for each property that Lennok wanted?

It was undoubtedly the only way to find Lennok’s address, which left virtually no trace, but it was clear that even that would take a lot of time.

“Five times.”

Lennok, who had reached that point, nodded slowly while biting on the tobacco.

“Well, since you have plenty of time, it shouldn’t have been difficult.”

“Are you being sarcastic?”

“No way. In a way, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest unemployed person in the world – it is a joke.”

Evelyn’s expression turned cold, and Lennok averted his gaze.

Lennok, who cleared his throat and smoked a cigarette, leaned on one knee and chose the answer.

When was the last time you worked with Evelyn? Looking back, it was a long time ago.

Rather, it was to the extent that recalling the memory of the time when I had a fight with Evelyn came first.

I hadn’t actually seen her face in person since I had just created Random Box.

“I was away because I had a lot of personal things to do. Sorry for not replying for a long time. It’s okay now.”

“really?”

Evelyn looked at Lennok with a clear gaze and asked.

“Are you really okay?”

“… … What do you want to ask?”

A quiet silence fell over the dimly lit living room.

Eveline, who had been staring at Lennok in silence, winked.

“It still hurts. yes?”

“… … .”

“Now it’s not just because of Onion’s work. Many of your problems stem from yourself.”

“that… … .”

“What are you trying to find by continuing to travel across continents, destroying yourself?”

Lennok, who was about to say something, closed his mouth with a wry smile.

The archer sitting in front of him wasn’t someone who didn’t know Lennok enough to cover it up with half-baked lies.

Making excuses with ambiguous lies is meaningless against a powerful person like her.

She knows that Lennok regularly wants to leave the Balkans, and that it’s not just because of an injury.

There are things you can see even if you don’t say it directly or express it outwardly.

Instinctive guesses and certainties that can be felt unintentionally just by having a conversation and tipping a glass together.

Evelyn was asking about the subtle gap and sense of incongruity that made her turn her head away while pretending not to know.

“… … It’s not just because it hurts.”

So Lennok thought it was necessary to tell the truth to some extent.

“Of course, it is also an important reason. It’s not a wrong word. But most importantly… … It’s what I’m looking for.”

“The Black Consumer Project?”

“No, the reason.”

“… … .”

said Lennok.

“Who am I and who have I been? There are concerns that cannot be resolved just by transcending the hierarchy.”

“That… … .”

Evelyn couldn’t answer easily and blurted out her words.

Evelyn knew about Lennok’s talent and ability, about the potential he had.

From the time I started commissioning as a freelancer and met her at Charlotte’s factory. Until they became level 8 archmages and faced each other.

Even if he had fights and experiences that were different from those of others, there was no way he wouldn’t know that Lennok’s growth was unparalleled and transcendent.

Even though Evelyn knew about it, she just didn’t bother to point it out directly in front of Lennok or ask.

Lennok knew what she was thinking, so he didn’t want to answer, but now the inevitable moment was approaching.

Yoreta and Makina were shaken one after another, and big players from all over the continent began to move in earnest.

The Balkans, as well as the people who live in between the zones.

Even Lennok’s colleagues and Lennok himself couldn’t avoid him.

“Who are you, who have you been… … .”

But instead of agreeing with that, Evelyn muttered quietly with her eyes closed.

“Well, I… … I can’t believe it anymore.”

“… … Eveline?”

“Where were you and what were you doing when Yorta collapsed?”

The question came so suddenly that even Lennok was at a loss for words.

Before I knew it, Evelyn opened her eyes straight and was staring at Lennok.

“When I borrowed the lighthouse with the help of Lapis, I saw what happened in Yoreta.”

“… … .”

“I saw someone whom I thought was an enemy, and who I also doubted, fighting a croken asilus.”

Reaching into her arms, she took out a pair of black gloves and set them down on the table.

“Like when we first met at Charlotte’s factory.”

These are gloves made in the Black Palace workshop, and have been used by Lennok for quite some time.

And at the time of the interim settlement, it was an item left behind after colliding with Evelyn as Victor.

“I know you don’t want to be bound by one position. It must have been for that reason that he helped Lapis in the name of Evan.”

Evelyn said.

“But if you share two identities and try to live in a different time, is it strange to you to think that a third exists?”

“… … .”

“A fourth and third face that might be there… … Is it strange to think I already know?”

Lennok didn’t respond and was silent.

Why did Eveline come to think that way, and why did she have no choice but to think that way? Because Lennok knew better than anyone.

Come to think of it, there were so many things.

Between the causalities and relationships that overlap as we go through immeasurable times with the three identities of Van, Evan, and Victor.

Eveline is one of the very few acquaintances who have watched Lennok’s life from the beginning.

That’s why she carefully collects clues and circumstances that only she could know, one by one in her heart.

She had finally arrived at an answer that even she herself could not turn away from.

Evelyn asked with her lips twisted.

“In that coat, are you hiding the obsidian mask?”

“… … .”

“Who are you? Where are you standing now?”

no answer comes back Evelyn didn’t expect an answer either.

“The reason I came to you today is not simply to explain what happened.”

Vivid green eyes flashed in the darkness.

“Things you didn’t tell me even though you told me. The secrets that I tried to avert my eyes and pretended not to know.”

“… … .”

“If you don’t say it, I will.”

Wedge!!

A black arrow grazed Lennok’s cheek.

Before I knew it, Evelyn, all in a suit, was standing in front of Lennok, looking down at him.

“If you think about it, we haven’t been properly attached since we transcended the hierarchy.”

“… … Eveline.”

“Come outside, Van.”

Evelyn’s face hardened coldly as she grabbed her visor.

“If there is an answer that cannot be conveyed in words, there must be only one way.”
