Drug-Eating Genius Mage

Chapter 46



With Eden’s death, the gang was completely annihilated, and things progressed surprisingly quickly.

Although it was noisy with the appearance of a black giant that briefly appeared in Area 48, it is not too difficult to keep your mouth shut on this floor.

Dyke cleared the power plant that the black magician of Pandemonium had pushed aside, established a new branch in its place, and quickly began to dominate the business.

The business needs to be stabilized quickly before the city government checks begin.

Rather, for Panoa and other project teams, from now on, it could be said that it was a real job.

With the success of the plan, the long internal dispute at Dyke Headquarters was also put to an end.

Shareholders unanimously raised the president’s hand, and the company’s management rights were completely transferred to Dustin Goodman.

In the meantime, the restrictions on manpower that had been severely limited to Panoa were completely lifted, and her position ran to the upper limit day by day.

“Come this way. I was waiting.”

Mana, who had been in front of the elevator, politely escorted Lennok to Panoa’s office.

Her expression is usually difficult to understand, but lately, she seems to be more energetic in her actions.

“Looks like things are going well.”

“It looks like it shows off a lot.”

Even as she answered that, Mana’s face remained expressionless.

“I haven’t even started my business properly yet, and the expected income is unusual. Various customers, including freelancers and mercenaries active in the outer zone, are already trying to make deals with us to supplement the lack of weapons.”

“………”

“The outlook is positive enough that we need to run more than half of the production line to meet the expected volume.”

Since the project she participated in was a huge success, her position in the company must have risen dramatically.

The elevator stopped and the door opened.

The floor where Panoa’s office is located.

In the space where only she worked, dozens of employees were busy moving around, carrying documents and having conversations while holding on to the receiver.

“There is a problem with the maintenance of Plant 4, but there is a shortage of manpower? I’ll send you a list of subcontractors, so select one and send an email back here.”

“During the first production inspection process, defects are not properly checked.”

“Request additional staffing at the top and check the manual again.”

“The Ministry of Finance is empty! Who owns the phone here!”

As soon as people who were shouting and moving loudly saw Mana’s face, they adjusted their attitude and took notice.

She knocked on the glass door of Panoa’s office slowly, while subtly enjoying the blatant gaze.

Immediately the door opened and Panoa, who had a pale complexion, greeted Lennok.

“Come on in. It’s the first time I’ve seen you since the operation.”

“Long time no see.”

Lennok asked as soon as he sat down on his now-familiar office couch.

“Your face doesn’t look very good.”

“Well… there are things I can’t do if it’s not now.”

As she said that, she smiled skillfully at Lennok.

“Even so, we cannot postpone the gift we should give to the wizard.”

Like the obvious story, it doesn’t happen that the hound is boiled in a pot just because the work is over.

Rather, Panoa continued to keep in touch with Lennok even after the job was over, and worked tirelessly to show that he had not forgotten him.

This is because he is well aware that the unexpected success of this plan depended solely on the ability of one person, Lennok.

The reason why he was able to make up for the lack of manpower and information and destroy the gang from the front is that Lennok is a powerful person beyond the category of a simple wizard.

She is aware of the fact that the pot prepared to boil the hound can be ruined whole.

Then there is only one thing you can do.

I have no choice but to give you a sweeter reward and make sure your teeth don’t turn this way.

And Panoa has been working diligently by dividing the time he doesn’t have for this spot today.

“Even though Enakpil’s five fingers were given as an advance payment, the total success of the plan was, of course, to be paid separately. Please take this first.”

As she said that, she handed out a bankbook that had been converted to anonymity and a personal seal.

“It is a cannon bankbook containing 300 million cells. All money can be withdrawn in cash, and the laundry is neatly finished.”

“………”

Lennok listened to the answer and quietly picked up the bankbook.

300 million cells.

Even considering the increased ransom and risk allowances, it is clearly a burdensome amount to pay to an individual.

But Panoa knew for sure that saving money in a place like this wouldn’t do any good.

Moreover, the rewards she prepared did not stop here.

Immediately, he took out a pair of matte black gloves and a small bottle of light green liquid in succession.

“The gloves of the Black Palace Workshop and the medicine called Toone’s Spring Water. They say it’s mainly good for internal injuries.”

Panoa glanced at Lennoc’s face and said.

“…..I prepared it because I thought you might have been overdoing it this time.”

At the end of the operation, it was reported that pandemonium was almost involved, so it must have been difficult to go barefoot.

The gift she prepared showed that she put a lot of effort into matching the situation.

That’s why Lennok asked questions first, instead of giving useless answers.

“The Black Palace workshop?”

“This is a VIP studio run by artisans who take orders for only a few members. Our company also recently received a waiting list and was able to become a member. As such, products from this studio are of good quality and difficult to obtain, so they are occasionally used as gifts.”

Ignoring Panoa’s condescending words, Lenok picked up the gloves and put them on both hands.

Lightness that sticks to the palm of your hand and hardly feels comfortable to wear.

As a test, it generated magic, and it passed through the armor very smoothly.

“It is designed to protect the wrist as it rapidly hardens when subjected to a certain amount of impact. Even if you fall from a 10-story building, you can greatly reduce your injuries if you put your hands on the ground properly. It is one of the most popular and hard-to-find products in workshops.”

As soon as Lennok heard that, he took off his gloves and hit the shock magic.

Paang!!

As expected, the surface of the glove instantly became hard and stretched all the way to the wrist, trying to protect the joints.

Then Lennok smiled and nodded.

“You brought some good stuff. thank you.”

“Of course, I don’t intend to wipe my mouth with just these things. The funds retrieved from the gang’s safe will be additionally distributed and deposited into the account according to the contribution of this operation. It looks like you spent a lot of money while fighting us, but you should still be able to take more than 70% of the remaining funds.”

“I am waiting.”

You don’t have to refrain from putting money into your account.

Panoa continued to explain in various ways how Dyke Enterprises was going to go and how he could help Lennok along the way.

At the same time, she hinted at the nuance of wanting Lennok to help Dyke with his business, but Lennok eventually left the headquarters building without answering.

The sad faces of Panoa and Mana flickered in front of her eyes, but she neatly brushed away her lingering feelings.

I did as much as I could and got as much as I deserved.

As a freelancer, he received various artifacts, including funds, as well as the predetermined goal of gaining fame as a reward.

Above all, the data on the lightning-type unique magic obtained from Eden’s laboratory was obviously the biggest harvest that could be reaped from this work.

I have already confirmed in battle that I can use the applied skills within it without having to learn unique magic.

If you go through systematic research, Lennok’s magic will be able to leap to a much higher level than it is now.

Even Lennok, who was not emotionally agitated by most things, couldn’t hide his joy just thinking about it.

I want to lock myself in my studio right now and focus on research, but before that, there were a few things I had to deal with externally.

‘I’ll leave it to Jenny to take care of this, and I’ll have to improve my lifestyle a bit first.’

It is self-evident that Lennok’s reputation and ransom rose dramatically due to this incident, but it was necessary to change the existing environment once as he had obtained a large amount of money.

In particular, the current one room was quite narrow to accommodate the items Lenok had, and the security was not good, so he was holding a bit of anxiety.

For this kind of money, it is possible to get a relatively spacious house in a more inner city area.

‘It’s hard to make money, but it’s hard to spend it…’

The gist is one.

Excluding the cost of purchasing elixirs and drugs, how much money can be spent on improving living conditions?

And how much more should I invest in the future?

Considering that wizards need a proper laboratory, it is inevitable that they will continue to increase their personal space in the future.

However, at the same time, it was necessary to leave enough money to maintain the health and vitality of the body with more expensive elixirs and drugs.

It was a difficult problem, and it was a worry that I couldn’t confide in anyone.

I have no choice but to ponder on my own and find the answer as if I were swimming on bare ground.

The smoke that disperses far away blends into the cold air of the city and disappears.

Winter was coming.

Noise

“Are you gone?”

“yes. As always, he never looked back.”

“It deserves it.”

“…..president.”

Panoa, who had cast her gaze beyond the window, reluctantly turned her head.

Dustin, who was sitting on the sofa, lazily shook the coffee cup he was holding.

“No matter what happens, you have to hold on to Van.”

“I know. And he knows.”

“………”

“How can you not know when you are courting me so blatantly?”

Dustin’s self-deprecating muttering isn’t wrong.

The reason why Panoa gave Lennok a series of unconventional gifts was because the upper echelons had their own judgment that they should capture him.

“I went to a meeting for a while this time. My friends started asking about the wizard.”

“………”

“Everyone knows how precious a skilled wizard is without belonging.”

Dustin’s eyes shone sharply.

“You see what I mean?”

“of course.”

Rumors are already spreading among companies about how much the Dyke Corporation will benefit from this and what kind of magician’s power was at the center.

For those who are more sensitive to the word profit than anything else, the market opened by Dyke will seem like a perfect new continent to them.

“I was told that other companies would not be able to set foot here, at least until the inspections conducted directly by the city government were over. During that time, we must pay attention to solidifying and maintaining the sales network of the weapons we have produced.”

And the name of the powerful wizard who accomplished all of this can be of great help to their plans.

The result of a grand lobby that encompasses the political and business worlds.

It’s only a temporary advantage, but for a large company like them, it must be an opportunity to get it by devoting everything.

“He must know that there is still one request left.”

A collaboration that has been promised five times cooperation.

We went through three operations together, one of which was removed by Dustin himself, so there is only one left.

This promise should not be used to simply tie him down, but as an opportunity to build a better relationship.

“Let’s take our time and work slowly. As long as I have a contact with that broker…the opportunity will come one day.”
