Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Fierce and furious battles.

It was a melee due to an unexpected intrusion of a powerful enemy on the way.

However, as a result, the team succeeded in the operation with minimal damage.

Although most of the credit went to Lennok, who dealt with Beck alone and even killed him.

In any case, it showed everyone how far a wizard named Van could go when operating with the right teammates.

And the reaction was just as violent and turbulent.

Beck Clinton was a gangster who had been active on this ground for as long as Jenny knew his name, and although he was past his heyday, he was a prostitute who once dominated the 48th District.

Rumors circulated that he abandoned his old name and started anew by creating a gang called Cigar Bang, but could his reputation disappear easily?

The news that such a seasoned fighter had died in battle with only five Freelancers was very irritating.

Even the customers who visit Jenny’s bar talk about it.

“You touched the cigar bang? You’re out of your mind…”

“It’s not the level I touched. I heard you gave out a very harpoon.”

“Your gang was famous for using the Panamas railway station as a trading post, but the railway station has completely disappeared. That’s all I’ve said.”

“Isn’t this a bit dangerous?”

Jenny secretly sighed as she saw the guests shivering without even trying to hide the leaking speech.

How rare are fights between organizations with interests in this world?

It is a place where no one will easily interfere, as long as the unwritten rules are properly followed, even if there is a sudden gunfight and a bunch of corpses piled up on one side of the sewer.

Strictly speaking, the attack by the cigar-bang gang this time should have been considered an ordinary incident.

However, it does not stop there, and there is a constant exchange of words because there is a bit of anxiety about the cessation of the arms business supplied by Cigar Bang.

If there is a problem with the current commercial district, which sells firearms suitable for military equipment at low prices, freelancers on this floor will have to wander the alleys again in search of a good gun dealer.

In the process, he didn’t even have to think about how many hyenas would rush in to gain a new advantage.

“The boss of the cigar bang must have been very angry. If a business of that size were disrupted even for a moment, the damage would be enormous.”

“In fact, it means that we have been growing our power with that capital until now, so I said everything.”

“There was a rumor that the head of that gang was a great magician, so this time we get to confirm it?”

“That is what I am looking forward to. There’s been a lot of talk about what type of magic was used to keep Plato and the scavenger from moving. Rumor has it that he has a huge belly on his back…”

“I won’t damage the bar.”

Jenny turned her head at the familiar voice that came right next to her.

Lennok, who had entered the bar before he knew it, was listening, looking in the same direction as her.

Her face was still expressionless, but Jenny read a faint feeling of worry in those words and smiled.

“Do you know if this has happened once or twice on this floor? Take good care of your body. There is no lunatic who would touch a broker with something like this.”

Now that I am facing him like this, I realize that he is not familiar with this city.

He seemed very indifferent and didn’t react much to external stimuli, but Jenny guessed that this wizard was more compassionate than he thought.

He has a very cold and cruel personality when he thinks it is necessary, but he is a clumsy person who is visibly in trouble because he does not know how to deal with an old man like Jordan.

And Jenny didn’t look bad in that class.

“I got a call from Dyke. Ban said that if you want, you want to come and take me there. What do you think?”

Although he has only done two commissions with them, Lennok’s status has changed drastically from then.

The fact that he killed Beck Clinton by himself will not be disclosed to the public, but apart from that, rumors that he came back alive after colliding with gangs twice should spread quickly.

As if to prove that fact, some of the bar’s patrons, who had been ignoring Lennok until now, were looking at him and chatting quietly.

“………”

Making a name for yourself on this floor is not necessarily a good thing.

The more people who know him, the more people who hate him.

envy and hatred. It is only natural that envy and resentment follow the flow of money.

Only now did I take one step on the stairway to glory and shame.

I had no intention of being satisfied here.

Did Jenny feel something from his calm expression?

Without even trying to erase the smile that came naturally, she continued.

“Rumor has it that the success of this operation surprised even the board of directors at Dyke. I wouldn’t be surprised if a project that I thought was going to crash without a hitch was suddenly put on the right track. Even if you make an appointment right away, they will treat you without regret.”

“……good. Please tell me to meet you tomorrow.”

“It would be just right. Panoa: It looks like that woman has something to say, so listen carefully and let it go. You’re not someone I’ll be working with forever.”

She didn’t say anything, but it seems that Jenny also felt something while watching the series of events.

In fact, it is a sharp insight even considering that she plays a relatively small role in this collaboration with Dyke.

Lennok nodded, recalling once again how good she was as a broker.

“Oh, and I succeeded in tracing Beck Clinton’s cell phone address you requested.”

The key captured from Beck’s corpse was taken by Lennok, so he handed over the cell phone to Jenny, but it seems that there was a harvest.

“What’s inside?”

“The data was all corrupted, so I couldn’t check the proper messages, but I checked who the people I contacted most recently were because the call logs were left in the base station. Don’t be surprised to hear it.”

Jenny quickly lowered her voice and whispered.

“Looks like you’ve been keeping in touch with the Pandaemonium contact.”

“………”

“It could be an attempt to make a connection with the pandemonium on the gang side. You have to use good judgment.”

“I get it.”

It was unexpected information, but just knowing this fact in advance is a great harvest.

“Then come back tomorrow.”

“okay. Take good care of yourself. Understand?”

“…….”

Lennok’s steps paused for a moment.

Jenny looked at his back and said quietly.

“The most important thing on this floor isn’t money.”

“…..yes.”

“I trust you will do well. You just said useless things.”

As always, she ends the conversation neatly.

But as Lennok walked out of the bar, a bitter smile hung on his lips that he didn’t even know he knew.

‘Is it too obvious…’

Of course, the wounds from the battle with Beck Clinton are still full of his body.

On the day I came back from work, the blood in the bathroom wouldn’t drain for three days.

At least, the ring of Pryice I received from Panoa stabilized my body to some extent even when there was no shield, so it’s a shame, otherwise it would have been difficult to walk around.

Sensing the gaze of those following behind him, Lennok descended the stairs and let out a long puff of smoke.

“Whoa…..”

The feeling of the filter touching the tips of my lips is so familiar to me now.

But there was a faint hesitation in Lennok’s gaze as he looked down at the beginning of the year.

‘I feel that the effect of the cash burn is getting dull little by little.’

It’s already been a few months since I started buying this tobacco from the orchard.

It wouldn’t be strange if I started to develop a tolerance after inhaling the fumes with my lips in my mouth every single day.

The decrease in efficacy, which had not been noticeable until now, was now approaching so much that it could be felt.

‘Sleeping pills… I might have to stop by the orchard one more time soon.’

No matter how much he puts up with the loss of sleep due to insomnia, the supplementation of psychotropic drugs necessary for work is not an option for Lennok.

Consumables that make his already creaky body move like a normal person for a while.

If there is a problem here, it will start to interfere with the immediate battle little by little.

It was clearly a problem that the current Lennok could never endure.
