Genius Warlock - Episode 100
"Do it, do it - keaaaaaaak-!!”
Hoffman Family Office.
Hilton, the warlock who signed an exclusive contract with the Hoffman Family, screamed..
As soon as he saw the evidence brought by Murphy, he denied it and struggled, then tried to extract his emotions and attack, but Oliver used the Shadow Tentacle to subdue him first..
I was able to do both capture and attack by mixing Vine Shadow and Shadow Spike.,
As proof, Oliver's shadow tentacle stabbed Hilton's arm and grabbed his neck, instantly subduing him..
Hilton is a skilled warlock who receives hundreds of dollars per week. Kek-! I made a sound like I was out of breath..
Even the members of the Hoffman family and boss Jimmy who were around felt afraid at the sight.,
Murphy used his momentum to persuade him. Like a rushing wolf.
"Look here. Mr. Jimmy… .. This is a list of truck transport times and supplies found at the truck robbers' hideout. It was an insider's act, and the culprit is Hilton..”
Murphy said, holding out an additional handwritten letter containing raid instructions..
Someone muttered that it was Hilton's cursive, but Hilton denied it under his breath..
“….Oh, no, no. president. my… Keck! Why... ? That kind of groan..…."
"When the captured truck robbers were interrogated, they complained that they had no reason to remain in the family. Especially, my pride doesn't allow me to be under a young boss..”
Murphy just lied..
To be precise, I said he was an incompetent brat, not a young boss..
However, as if the intention had been reached, the face of Jimmy, the young boss of the Hoffman family, turned bright red..
He was still confused, but he almost seemed to believe it..
Well, there was clear evidence in front of my eyes..
“….Where are you, the informer?.”
In response to Jimmy's question, Murphy signaled outside..
Arthur grabbed three truck robbers in each hand and dragged them away..
They were all trembling with fear as they were thrown to the floor. Especially to Oliver.
"....What is this guy??”
Jimmy asked, looking at the man who was wrinkled like beef jerky..
He seemed to know Hilton too..
"Bae, Baron… ! how… Ughhhhh-!”
"This jerky guy told me. Hilton is an insider. He said he needed to get more money."
As if that convinced him, Jimmy said, his anger slowly blooming..
“..…Hey, a warlock..”
"yes."
"That bastard, break my limbs.”
"All right.”
At the same time as Oliver's answer, he shouted! There was a breaking sound..
"Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!”
Hilton, wearing a neat suit and a beard, fell to the floor, crying like a baby, and everyone watched in silence..
No, just one person. Except Jimmy.
He picked up the shotgun lying in the corner like a club and started beating Hilton, who was unable to move due to broken limbs..
I could see shame, betrayal, anger, and nervousness at recognizing the eyes around me, but it seemed like my emotional state was quite cornered..
It seemed like there was a lot of pressure as a young boss..
puck-! puck-! Puck! The sound rang out for a long time, and Jimmy stopped when Hilton's face and the floor turned red..
"omg. omg… … . Lock this bastard and that bastard up. Are you going to sell it to some research lab?.”
Jimmy's serious voice made the Hoffman family members do as they were told..
A red line appeared on the floor, and Oliver realized that his work was done..
Things turned out better than expected.
".…Thank you. murphy.”
said Jimmy, lighting a cigarette..
"no. I'm glad it helped.”
Jimmy looked at Murphy with a subtle look..
It was true that I was grateful, but at the same time, I was wary of Murphy..
“..…Where is the hideout??”
"Yes, we confirmed the location and locked the kid on our side. I'll let you know as soon as I'm ready..”
"Good thing... Are there any items??”
"Yes, there is. Not everything, but there are some left over that I can't sell..”
“money?”
“..…Secured. The value is not that much, perhaps because it was stolen, but it is an amount that will reduce the damage to some extent.."
"Good thing.”
"However, I have one thing to tell you..”
“What?”
Murphy looked at Oliver and Arthur..
"Hey Jimmy, half of the money we found went to the warlock and Arthur..”
"what? Whoever wants?”
"That's according to normal practice. The solvers keep some of the items and money captured while they are working. Or, I had to pay more and hire someone to retrieve the money... .. It’s my fault..”
When Jimmy tried to say something, the old managers, including Frank, tried to stop him..
Since I was solving a problem for free anyway, I could pay that much as compensation for my trouble..
Jimmy was forced to accept this fact, but the end of the story was soon in sight..
‘I can go back now. Because there was a small accommodation above the warehouse. I need to start preparing to move there..’
It was then. Suddenly Jimmy spoke to Oliver..
"Hey there.”
“….Is that what you mean??”
"exactly. you… .. From the looks of it, he seems to be a fairly skilled warlock. Don't you need a job??”
"...?"
"At the same time, there was a job opening in our area. How do you feel? If you're going to work in Area T, it's a good idea to work with us. How about joining our family? I will treat you without any regrets..”
What should I say? The momentum was good. However, the timing was not good..
"Sorry, but I politely decline..”
“….Why??”
"My life is fine now. More than anything, I don't like belonging to an organization..”
"Don't say such obvious things, just do what you want.-”
“-Wait. Mr. Jimmy.”
Murphy intervened and whispered softly..
I tried to persuade him, but perhaps thanks to his good speaking skills, Jimmy's boiling emotions gradually calmed down..
“….Well, okay. Well, I hope we can maintain a good relationship in the future..”
"yes.”
Oliver answered without thinking..
Then the atmosphere was relieved and the story ended, and Oliver came out of the office with Murphy and Arthur..
Now it's really over, Murphy said to Oliver and Arthur.
"Thank you both for your help. Special thanks to Dave. I went there prepared to get hurt, but it turned out to be easier than I thought..”
That was true. Oliver destroys the trap, attacks in a wide range with black darts, and after that, the corpse doll does everything..
However, Oliver denied this fact..
"no. Thanks to Mr. Arthur's help, negotiations became easy, and I also tested the invoice doll at the right time, so it wasn't a bad thing..”
"Well, me too. Thanks to this, I have a nice side income and I have no complaints. With this, I can roughly solve the cost of fitting a new golem prosthetic arm..”
The money the truck robbers collected was quite a lot, and the golem prosthetic arm seemed to be quite expensive..
Well, even to Oliver, who had no knowledge of that area, it didn't seem strange since it had a complicated structure..
‘Continuous maintenance of the golem's magical power, synchronization with the user, powerful power... . I also want to learn about this field when I have time. Should I stay in the bookstore??'
"Warlock. We will complete the paperwork and hand over the payment within three days at the latest..”
"Yes, thank you.”
"Well then, please excuse me first. I think I'll be really busy starting tomorrow. Would you like me to give you a ride on the way to your destination??”
Just as Oliver was about to answer, Arthur placed his hand on Oliver's shoulder..
"If it's okay, I could talk to this friend... .. I have something to talk about personally..”
Murphy looked at Arthur and then stepped away..
"Yes, I understand. Warlock. See you next time.”
Murphy took a step back without realizing it..
Thanks to this, only Oliver and Arthur were left, and Arthur paused for a moment, then reached into his arms and took out a small business card..
"what is this?”
Oliver asked, looking at the business card. The words “Labor Union” were written in stiff letters, and underneath the letters stood workers holding hands. The phrase to unite was impressive..
"This is the organization where I am currently semi-employed. An organization that provides a little help to the persecuted workers in this city..”
"Do you get money??”
"Very little... .. You have to eat to survive. If you ever need work, come visit me. Of course, a friend like you is never short of work, but there's no way you have to do business with Mr. Forrest.?”
"hmm.… . I'll think about it.”
"Okay, that's enough... .. And can I give you some advice from the same problem solver??”
"Yes, you say it..”
"That corpse doll... . They said they picked it up in a contaminated area, but it's Puppet's corpse doll.?”
“well.… . I just picked up what was lying around, but I guess it was a failure.?”
Doubt shone through Arthur's emotions. However, I didn't ask any questions..
"Well, okay. It's none of my business. However, do not abuse it in broad daylight or in crowded places. Whatever it is, it's easy to get caught because it uses human corpses. In particular, the corpse doll gives rise to various misunderstandings. . Use it in moderation.”
It was a pure favor, and Oliver was grateful..
"Thanks for the advice.”
"It's no big deal. Thanks to him, his life was saved, and he also made some nice extra income. And people are all kind to friends with abilities. I wanted to see some virtue.”
"is that so?”
"Very true. Well then, see you next time."
***
"after… … . That's too bad. sincerely.”
The owner of the inn where Oliver stayed said:.
"You pay your money on time and there's nothing special about it... . It was weird, but it was okay..”
"Thank you for saying that..”
Oliver, who had finished preparing for moving, answered. Well, it wasn't anything special to prepare for moving, but at most I only packed one bag..
"I'm serious. When I was young, I stubbornly saved up money and bought this inn so that I could live while saying what I wanted to say... . Rossburn must be disappointed. Rossburn, come out! Dave says he's leaving now..”
After a while, Rossburn came out, full of emotions such as disappointment, sadness, and regret..
The boy, who knew about reality, tried hard to suppress his sadness, but he seemed very sad that Oliver was leaving..
I really couldn't understand.
I just asked for help and he helped me with a few things, and now I can read, write, and do simple arithmetic to a certain extent, but I can't believe I still rely on myself so much..
Suddenly, Marie came to mind..
"that… . Okay, goodbye. teacher.”
"......."
Oliver scratched his cheek..
If it were normal, I would have said goodbye and left. For some reason, I wondered what she would have done if she had been cant..
“….Yes, thank you… . I'll come visit you sometimes.”
Life returned to Rossburn's eyes..
"The food here is delicious.”
"Oh my, do you even know how to say that? I shouldn't have told you sooner.?”
"I will say more in the future. I don’t know how to cook anyway… . So, let’s see each other sometime. rosburn.”
A smile bloomed on Rossburn's face, which looked like he was about to cry..
“ah.… . yes, yes!”
After finishing the story, Oliver left for his new lodgings, the warehouse, after being seen off by the inn hostess and Rossburn..
I thought this was right too.
It was right to go to the warehouse to practice new black magic, including Child, and to practice corpse doll skills..
"You came.”
When I reached the warehouse, I was greeted by Murphy who was waiting at the door..
He automatically opened the folder he was holding and held it out to Oliver..
There was a formal contract written on the file..
"There is a risk of being exposed if you hold it as an asset, so we will give it to you in the form of a long-term lease. First of all, you need to have an assortment, so the deposit and monthly rent are specified, but you don't have to worry about that. I would like to let you skip the contract and use it comfortably, but I also have risks. I hope you understand.”
"No, you're right..”
Indeed, it was so..
In the warehouse, Oliver would be conducting research experiments related to black magic, but if the owner's name on the documents remained as Murphy, he could end up in an awkward situation where he would not be able to steal it later..
This level of consideration alone was excessive..
Oliver read the document fluidly and then signed it with a pen..
Oliver's official pseudonym is 'Dave Wright'..
"Oh, the font is nice. He looks like a nobleman.”
“Nobility?”
"Yes, they are people who care about looking cool, so they say they spend hours practicing their handwriting. I don't mean to be sarcastic, but the font is really nice. Did you practice??”
"No, I just wrote it like this from the beginning..”
Murphy narrowed his eyes for a moment..
"what..… . okay. Anyway, congratulations. With this, this warehouse belongs to the warlock..”
"I really appreciate it. I'm glad I did something great..”
Oliver said and looked at the warehouse..
I really liked it.
