Genius Warlock - Episode 120
"Ooh la la… … . Who is this cool guy??”
According to the information, Coco looked at Oliver who entered the office and said:.
Forest, who was sitting across the desk, also agreed..
"It suits you pretty well?”
"Quite a bit? At this level, I can take you to the party as a partner. The suit suits you quite well. Mr. Dave."
Coco's words were sincere..
Oliver didn't know much about it, but he looked very good in the suit..
I felt like I should at least say thank you to Jane for choosing this suit..
"Thank you for the compliment.”
"I'm serious. Anyway, that's pretty wise, right? Excuse me, but I thought you wouldn't turn your head like that..”
"yes? What do you mean??”
"Oh, isn't it? I thought you were wearing clothes to match your name since you've been making it known lately..”
I wondered if the increased reputation as a problem solver had anything to do with the attire, but fortunately, Forrest informed me..
"Once your name becomes known, high-ranking people come to request you, and usually around this time, you take care of things like your clothes and appearance. Although this business is a bit special, it is ultimately a business. We need to give customers a trustworthy image..”
"ah..…."
Another new fact I learned. Oliver asked.
"okay. Well, should I do that too??”
"I'm not saying you have to do that. There are quite a few people who don't... . However, it is a good idea to do this in order to facilitate smooth negotiations and build rapport with the client. It's a kind of courtesy..”
"that's right. Dress politely..”
Coco shrugged and agreed..
Everything he said was sincere, and there was nothing logically strange about it..
Come to think of it, the pink man named Jonathan also wore a neat suit and was one of the most polite people I've ever met..
It seemed like it would be a good idea for Oliver to follow suit in order to become friends with several big names and learn about the black market..
"All right. I will pay attention to how I dress..”
Forrest nodded in satisfaction, and Coco pulled out a business card from between her cleavages..
"If you need clothes, visit here.”
Oliver accepted the business card..
The business card had the words engraved on it..
"This is a men’s suit specialty store. It's a little expensive, but you should wear it properly. Please do not misunderstand that I am not investing money to introduce this place..”
Oliver looked at the business card and put it in his pocket..
Along with the labor union business card I received from Arthur..
"I don't know much about clothes, is that okay??”
"Of course it's okay. Are you getting paid to do that for you? If I tell you that I introduced you, they will take care of you..”
"thank you.”
"If you appreciate it, please spend some money. Only when the rich use it can the poor people underneath pick up the crumbs. This was a recently established theory, but what was it specifically??”
"Trickle-down theory. This is a theory that advocates lowering taxes on the rich..”
Forrest answered. He didn't seem to agree..
"Okay, let’s stop with the brief greetings and let’s get straight to work. It's the most important step.”
The important step is receiving compensation, and as Coco does not deny this, she lifts the luggage next to her one by one..
"Yes, of course. Are you reaping the beauty of Yujong? hmm..… . Mr. Dave. If it's okay, would you please sit down??”
Oliver nodded and sat down..
Coco held out a small box wrapped with a ribbon..
"what is this?”
"Open it yourself.”
I received the box as instructed and opened it..
It was pretty light. When I opened the box, there was a bankbook and a seal inside..
"It’s a bearer bank account. It can be used at any Goldsmith Bank and the source of the funds cannot be traced. It's just like cash, so use it comfortably.."
Bank book. I've heard of it, this was my first time seeing it..
The reason was that Oliver didn't open a bank account and only used cash, although he didn't know it..
Maybe it's natural. Since I have a gluttonous pocket, it wasn't particularly inconvenient to have a large amount of cash..
However, I didn’t think it would be a bad idea to have a bank account..
"hmm?"
While looking through my bankbook, I found something strange..
"Why are you doing that??”
"This amount is strange.?”
The amount written in the bankbook was only one line, but the amount exceeded imagination..
£400,000,000
"I was also curious, so I asked Edith. They said this amount was correct. What did you say... . He said he didn't like being in debt.."
Oliver thought of Edith..
He ended the story by giving up on answering at the end..
I said it was okay, but it seemed quite bothersome to me..
"You're pretty amazing..”
"yes? What do you mean??”
"Edith seems to like Dave quite a bit. This is not the person who pays compensation in this way. Oh, by the way, I paid the brokerage fee separately, so you can keep it in full..”
Oliver looked at Forrest. He nodded his head in agreement..
"Okay, next gift..”
This time, Coco presented a box decorated with a ribbon..
When I opened it, a signed business card appeared..
"This is where the black market is and the ticket to enter it. It's a place that mainly deals with medicine..”
"approximately?"
Forrest looked at Oliver in slight surprise..
"This is amazing. No way, take some medicine?”
"No, I just want to find out something..”
"Oh my, that sounds interesting. There is something to look for in the black market that sells drugs... ..what is it?”
Oliver looked at Coco. She was genuinely curious, and so was Forrest..
"hmm… … . Can I tell you later? It's a bit personal.”
personal matter. Although they were more interested in the word, they did not bother to come in. I knew how to control my interest..
"Then there is nothing we can do. You can only be considered a proud Landa person if you respect each person’s circumstances. Well then, can we go back to work??”
Oliver nodded, putting his business card and bankbook in his arms..
Unlike the other boxes, the box Coco handed me this time looked quite ominous..
black ribbon on black box.
It gave off an air of caution..
“..…It's that book.”
"If it's that book... .. It's that book..”
Oliver said, deliberately avoiding the word devil..
It was said that all items related to the devil were taboo items, and simply owning or trading them was a serious crime..
"Yes, sorry, but can you check this later when you're alone??”
Oliver nodded..
Books about the devil are extremely sinister, not only from a legal standpoint, but also from a superstitious standpoint..
"They say the item is safe, so you don’t have to worry..”
Oliver believed that. Although Edith was a bit unusual, she didn't seem like the kind of person who would break a promise..
It was okay to check when I went home and was alone..
"Yes, I understand. Thanks for bringing it here..”
"Oh my, be happy. Usually, there aren't many people who say things like that. They either tighten their necks and remain silent, or they just complain about the poor pay..”
"I can't help it because it's something I risk my life for. I'm always nervous and afraid, so I have no choice but to be sensitive..”
Forrest said in a voice that said there was nothing he could do..
Oliver agreed to some extent..
The interesting thing about emotions is their connectivity..
Even emotions that seem opposite or unrelated actually have a close impact on each other..
With expectations comes disappointment, feelings of inferiority turn into anger, and fear has a profound effect on vigilance and aggression..
Similar to a spider web.
Now that I think about it, there were too many cases like that..
For example, it could be easily seen in the orphanage and mine where Oliver spent most of his life..
The little captain of the orphanage was always afraid that his position would be threatened, so he acted more viciously than anyone else.,
The mine supervisor tried to somehow gain a sense of superiority from children like Oliver in order to relieve his fear, inferiority, and nervousness toward his superiors..
Maybe that's why, if you extract too much emotion, not only the emotion in question but all emotions will bottom out..
At that time, Coco pointed at Oliver and said.
"Well then, I guess Dave is braver than anyone else. He has never been scared or angry and has always been polite... .. Oh my, I saw something like this in a novel. It is said to be the leisure of the strong. Is that so??”
Oliver tilted his head at Coco's question..
"What does the strong say??”
Coco laughed at Oliver's answer..
"it's nothing. Anyway, thank you very much for your help with this matter. We also heard the detailed story and know how much effort Oliver put into it. Thank you very much.”
"I just did my job.”
Coco stood up. Then he put his hand between his chest again and held out his business card..
The business card had the words engraved on it..
"This is a store run by Sisterhood. If you have any thoughts, please come.”
"That's amazing. How can you make such a suggestion even though the broker in charge is right in front of you?.”
Coco laughed at Forest's sarcasm..
"Please understand. Forrest. A little shamelessness is a woman’s charm, right? Or, Forest, please come too. If you two come together, the store staff will provide you with great service..”
"Then I have no choice but to understand.”
Coco smiled at Forrest's answer and tried to leave..
Oliver asked as he held her..
"Hey, Coco..”
"Yeah, whatever you want to say?”
"What exactly is a good service??”
"......."
***
"you are wrong.”
Forrest scolded Oliver. Because of that last word, my meeting with Coco was ruined.,
When I asked her what the steamy service was, she hesitated to answer, shook her head and left..
I didn't know what the problem was. Didn't even answer.
"what did i do wrong?”
"Women can tell men that kind of joke, but men shouldn't tell women..”
"I wasn't joking.”
"You asked what a steamy service is, right? They even added the word specific. What were you aiming for??"
"It literally means to ask for a detailed explanation..”
"under..… . Quit. Anyway, restrain yourself. I didn't know you were that kind of friend..”
I don't know what to refrain from, but I nodded for now..
I felt like if I talked about it any longer, it would become even more tangled instead of resolved..
"by the way. I'm just asking to confirm, are you going to work??”
Oliver thought for a moment..
"no. I'm going to rest for a while. Are you in trouble??”
"at all.”
Forrest nodded..
"Normally, it's normal to do something big and then take a break. To get back in shape, treat injuries, and enjoy entertainment in the meantime. But I don't think you're like that..”
"No, I am similar. I'm going to take a break and do some experiments or study. There are things I want to find out personally..”
"If you want to find out, go to the black market earlier.?”
"yes.”
"Right. I don't ask. It seems like a personal matter. However, be careful.”
"Be careful?”
"It is true that black markets maintain order through crime firms and other forces, but that does not mean they are traditional markets. I don't know if you're buying something, but they won't like it if you give off a prying vibe. You know what I mean.?”
Oliver nodded. In other words, don't make a fuss..
"Yes, I understand.”
"It's expensive, but you can ask for information from the Black Market or the Sisterhood. If that doesn't work out, I can ask Heimdall on your behalf. I'm just saying, if you change your mind, let me know..”
It was real. Forrest didn't have any ulterior motive, but really meant it for Oliver..
"That's kind of you. thank you.”
"kindness? That's not it, so there's no need to be thankful... ..Did you feel anything while coming??”
“hmm… . I felt like people were looking at me..”
"It will get worse in the future."
"yes?"
"The news about what happened in the contaminated area is spreading. In the first place, secrets are rare on this floor, but.”
"I heard that from Al..”
"Then I understand that killing Duncan will cause the rumor to spread faster. Although he has been forgotten now, he was well known during his active years. In particular, he was famous for his tenacity to win at all costs..”
understood. Duncan was quite a strong man. Like, awl.
Although not flashy on the outside, it was optimized for lethality that ended the opponent's life..
In addition, he was so persistent and meticulous that he even brought items imbued with sacred magic that could be said to be the natural enemies of warlocks..
If he hadn't been able to extract the magic in the first place, it might have been Oliver who died..
"In addition, we have to deal with the betrayal of Demon Gun's Nina and Druid Scott... . Can I ask you a question??”
"Question? yes please say.”
"When you really fight... Did you extract the magic power??"
