Genius Warlock-Episode 102
"Come on, get in..”
Coco said in front of the car parked at the entrance to the restaurant..
It was a stylish car with a straight bonnet, and it looked expensive even at first glance.,
In addition, a female driver wearing a uniform and hat was waiting there..
There wasn't a single flaw in his short hair, but judging by the look in his eyes, it seemed like he wasn't just a driver..
The driver looked at Oliver with sharp eyes and politely opened the car door..
"Thanks, Penny.”
The woman named Penny bowed her head slightly..
Coco sat in the back seat and spoke to Oliver again..
"What are you doing. Hurry up and get on board..”
I went to my seat as Oliver told me..
The interior of the car was designed so that the seats on both sides face each other. Before entering, I thanked the driver, Penny, but Penny only nodded briefly with cold eyes..
"Did I make some mistake??”
"No, it's just that Penny doesn't like men, so don't worry about it. Among our members, there are quite a few people who don't like men..”
Oliver nodded..
Before leaving the restaurant, Coco introduced herself as a member of a women's group called 'Sisterhood'..
Sisterhood is a women's survival group, and it is said that it is an organization where women who have no one to rely on when their lives are rough, and at the bottom, come together to rely on each other.,
Nowadays, the group has grown in size, with members from all walks of life including businesswomen, store owners, hotel maids, bar clerks, fixers, sex workers, and widows..
"Even thinking about it again, it's amazing. It's called Sisterhood..”
Boooooo Oliver said in the moving car..
"It's better than I thought. In the past, it was just an organization, but now it has started to have some influence in Landa..”
Oliver nodded..
According to Coco, members raise money to lobby city council members and public officials.,
Easing regulation of stores and easing discrimination against sex workers. He said he continues to demand things like women's voting rights..
"Well, I'm more interested in business than women's voting rights..”
Now to the point. Oliver asked.
"Who is the client??”
“He is a wealthy person in District R. It's a big deal. Even if it's not the core, it's on the outskirts of the big world.."
***
"He's quite a dynamic person. He used to be a low-level worker, but he suddenly appeared with a lump sum of money, jumped into the Landa speculation market, and made a lot of money several times. Then, in the end, he invested in the magic stone company ‘Prometheus’ and hit the jackpot of his life..”
".…What is Prometheus??”
“under… .. It looks like you really came out from living in the basement. Read some newspapers or something. These days, even troubleshooters can't do it if they're ignorant..”
"That's good advice. I will follow it.”
That's how Oliver responded to Coco's sarcasm. It was sincere with no malice, but Coco didn't seem to like it. He made a very scary expression..
“..…Prometheus is a company that handles magic stones, the core of the magic industry. Perhaps with some foresight, he purchased a worthless piece of trash land in the New World, and a few years later, a large amount of magic stones were discovered there, and he was able to use it for a short period of time... No, it has become the leading company in this united kingdom. Of course, the classes of investors also changed..”
Oliver nodded curiously..
I was indifferent to such things because I only focused on black magic and fixer work, but I felt like I really needed to read the newspaper and learn about the world..
"Afterwards, the client settled in Area R, purchased a large amount of real estate there, and lives like some sort of medieval lord. Since he is one of the sponsors of the city council member in District R, the police cannot do anything about it..”
"What a great person..”
Then Coco said.
"But as great as he is, his personality is also eccentric. be careful.”
"yes..… . But can you really get the books??”
Oliver asked cautiously..
Even though I didn't know who the client was or what the request was specifically, I followed it because the reward was a book about the devil..
"Yes, the client said. He may be a good liar, but you can trust him given the circumstances..”
“The situation?”
"Yes, it would be faster to see it in person. Don't worry, it will arrive soon..”
What Coco said was true.
The scene outside the car began to change, and unlike the regular streets, the buildings became more lively and bright..
I've seen similar streets before... .. ah! The atmosphere was similar to the street where Murphy's Secret Bar is located..
"This doesn't look like a residential area.?”
"Of course it doesn't look that way. This is street number 66 in district 0. It's called the Street of Joy. In many senses..”
In fact, as if to prove that statement, there were many smiling men on the street..
A man in a bowler hat riding in a car with the top open shared a passionate kiss with young girls dressed as pretty as Coco.,
A woman wearing a fancy dress on the side of the road walked arrogantly and seduced the men on the street..
2On the upper floor terrace, young women leaned out and shouted at rich-looking young men to stop playing. They even joked with the men on the spot..
"It looks like a place where people hang out.."
"what… . That's right?”
"Is the client here? I thought I'd see you at home.”
"Well, this place is like home. 'Cause I'm here longer than at home.”
Then, the car stopped gently..
Penny's driving skills were quite good, and she even got out and opened Coco's car door..
"thank you. penny.”
Penny bowed her head..
"thank you Mr. Penny.”
Penny bowed briefly..
"Okay, here it is..”
Coco spoke in front of a building.
It was an old-fashioned rectangular building built on an elongated side, and its roof was painted dark red..
There was a large sign in the shape of an arch hanging at the front door, with what looked like light bulbs hanging around the edge..
“….angel's house?”
"Yes, it's the angel's house. They send guests to heaven..”
Coco said and walked towards the front door, and Oliver followed..
As the large red door gently opened, the gorgeous interior came into view..
A thick carpet was spread seamlessly across the floor, and on one side was a bar filled with colorful magic spells, and on the other side was a quiet resting area..
In addition, employees in scantily clad clothing were waiting or sitting in the store window, smiling and kissing the hands of men passing by, but I had no idea how on earth they were having fun..
Well, Oliver was an outcast in an orphanage as a child, so he didn't know anything about play..
"Mama, Coco is here."
When a clerk who was delivering alcohol saw Coco and Oliver, he ran towards somewhere and said,.
She had fake wings on her back.
"Coco came?”
A woman came down from the second floor..
She was an elderly woman, her hair was white, and she looked elegant, as if she had taken good care of it like Forrest..
She was dressed neatly in accordance with her class, and her hair was neatly styled in a bun. Although her face was showing signs of age, she still retained the beauty of her youth..
She walked lightly and approached Coco..
"You arrived in time.”
"of course. It's me, mama.”
mama. I wondered if it was a name, but it seemed a bit strange to call it a name..
"That person over there…?”
An elderly woman called Mama pointed at Oliver..
"Yes, this is Dave, the dark horse from Area T I told you about. Dave, are you the owner of this store?."
"hello. Mr. Dave. My name is Mama Elizabeth, and I am the owner of this Angel’s House..”
Oliver bowed his head politely..
"My name is Dave, the problem solver. Nice to meet you.”
Elizabeth smiled gently..
"As Coco said, you are a polite person..”
"I just do what I was taught as a child... .. But is Mama your name??”
Coco's expression was slightly crumpled..
However, Elizabeth, the person involved, only smiled softly and explained..
"Mama is a kind of title for a manager. It is a type of position that calls a person who helps several members.."
"ah.… . okay.”
"You're as weird as I heard..”
"is that so?”
“….Did you know about the request??”
"I only heard what the reward was. I have not heard anything about the content of the request..”
"It's perfect. It’s whatever the client wants..”
"I don't understand, where is the client??”
“You are in the VIP room. Let me guide you..”
With those words, Oliver followed from Coco to Elizabeth like a baton touch..
The VIP room was at the top of the 4th floor, and a muscular woman and a sharp-looking man were standing at the entrance..
'This is special treatment..’
In fact, I couldn't hear any sounds from outside, probably because it was soundproofed. She passed numerous rooms and Elizabeth stopped in front of the most expensive looking room..
There was a small wired communication device in front of the door, into which Elizabeth spoke..
“Rock. I brought you..... Yes, I understand..”
Elizabeth said, putting the communication device back in place..
"please wait for a moment.”
Oliver waited as he was told, and soon the door opened and eight women came out..
There were quite a few bills in their hands, and the joy of earning a lot of money was mixed with unpleasant emotions..
I wondered what on earth I had done.
"Come in.”
I heard voices dying in that room..
Oliver looked inside and saw a pale, pig-like old man who looked very tired..
“Are your ear holes blocked? Come in.”
***
Oliver did as he was told and entered the room with Elizabeth..
Inside the room, a machine that looked like a lamp was continuously emitting sweet-smelling smoke, and not only the machine but also the smoke contained a subtle amount of magical energy..
Sniff. Sniff.
Oliver smelled smoke and knew it was a potion..
I've never drunk a potion, but I smelled a potion in a magic workshop and it was similar to that..
'Why drink with smoke? I heard that the efficacy of the potion is healing and recovery, but there are also side effects if you drink it... .. Why do we smoke second hand smoke? It's necessary, but is it a burden? Where does it hurt??’
Oliver thought quickly..
The reason I came to this thought was because the man in front of me looked sick, and not only his appearance but also the vitality radiating from within his body was irregular and blurry..
‘I'm almost dying..’
"But I'm staring at something unluckily. I like men?”
The pale and fat old man said irritably. He was wearing only underwear and running shorts.,
I whined trying to put on my pants, but I guess I was tired so I sighed and put my pants back on..
After two or three attempts, he was able to get his legs into his pants, but it must have been difficult for him to do so, so he sat down without zipping up his pants and showing his panties..
He looked really tired..
“Sigh.... Are my ears clogged??”
"yes?”
"You asked, right? What are you staring at? If you ask my question, I have to answer it.”
The old man looked arrogant and asked.
Irritability grew into anger, and not just that, but with a malicious intent to discourage Oliver..
Anyway, Oliver just answered as usual..
"ah.… . sorry. I saw you changing your pants..”
"......."
"......."
The old man and Elizabeth looked at Oliver with dumbfounded eyes..
It was as if there was such a crazy person..
"Holy shit, I see all kinds of crazy people in my life... . Ellie, this guy is a proper guy.?”
Elizabeth said with an embarrassed smile..
"I'm sure. Because Coco brought me here..”
"Or maybe that's the end of that pretty little kid. Women are fragrant and delicious like fruits, but their expiration date is a bit long. under! Isn't it??”
The old man thinks his joke is funny! under! under! laughed
Elizabeth laughed too, but Oliver was the only one who didn't..
"Why aren't you smiling? It's a very funny joke?”
The old man suddenly frowned and asked. He was quite intimidating, but unfortunately did not impress Oliver much..
"sorry. Because I don't laugh well.”
"I can't laugh well?”
"Yes, I tried, but I wasn't good at smiling..”
"If you smile, I'll give you 1 billion won. How is it??”
A sudden proposal. 10 billion. It was an amount that allowed Oliver to take a break from his job as a problem solver for a while and focus only on research..
"hmm… … . wait a minute..… . hmm..… . sorry. It doesn't work either..”
Oliver answered after making a sincere effort. It was so difficult to smile.
"under… … . You're crazy. Just right. Ellie, go out. We'll talk alone.”
