Genius Warlock-Episode 198
whistling-!
On top of a high-rise building in District Y. a man whistled.
I was amazed to see the battle taking place about 1 kilometer away..
"It's a bit surprising, isn't it? Bolu isn't the kind of guy who would be treated in vain like that..”
I meant it..
Among the disciples of the human meat chef, he was a rare man who only sold manipulation, but at least one skill was real..
The proof is that dozens of corpses were instantly revived and strengthened..
No matter how much life force and emotions were secured with forbidden knowledge, it was purely the person's ability to handle them..
Even Bolu clearly understood his own abilities and had the wisdom and cunning to make the most of them, so he knew how to use his abilities to their fullest potential at any time..
If the conditions were right, he could be stronger than anyone here..
But now it was all meaningless..
Dozens of lives that we had worked so hard to save were lost all at once due to the magic bombardment that came from far away..
"No matter how vain the actual battle is, this is a bit surprising. I never thought they would have hired a wizard. Did they notice that high-power attacks were most effective against us??”
"not a wizard.”
Another man next to the man said. He was called a chef here.
"what?"
"It's not a wizard, it's a corpse doll made using a wizard. Look over there.”
The cook pointed with the tip of his finger in the direction from which the bombardment came..
It was a bit far away, but I could see it if I squinted and concentrated..
Two corpse dolls on top of a tall building.
One was a bizarre combination of a bug and a cannon, and the other had eight arms..
The bug cannon fired the bombardment, and the octopus toy helped with aiming..
“Ho... . Even though they're ugly, they're pretty good things, right? I've only seen things like that in the puppet world. no way….?”
"that's right. I think it's from that fixer..”
"His name is Dave?”
"Uh, I tried to lure him to my side, but he refused. Even in a cocky way.”
"hmm..… . I'm sure it's not a puppet type of person.?”
"Well, was it a year ago? She says she met a puppet once, but that's about it..”
The man thought for a moment and then opened his mouth..
"what… Does it matter? Whether you're a puppet disciple or not, if you get in the way, just kill him..”
The man said calmly. It wasn't bravado or a joke, it was sincere..
The puppet and the human flesh cook were all fingers of the same black hand, but that didn't mean they didn't fight..
They were willing to kill each other if they got in the way of each other's work..
In fact, only the leaders did not fight, and the disciples under them fought sporadically every year. Whether it's personal feelings, public affairs, or anything else..
After a moment of silence, the man and the chef started talking again..
"Rather, what should I do now? Your plan went awry?”
It was like that. Originally, the real purpose of the cook and the man was to use the stolen auction items as bait to instigate a fight between District Y and the Crime Firm and take advantage of the opportunity to steal other auction items..
Since the raid on the auction house failed and the crime firm, which was on high alert, had hidden the auction items, they had to do something like this to distract their attention..
So, they tried to increase chaos by attracting gangsters from District Y..
But what is this? It's all messed up now.
They put in a lot of effort and brought in a gang that was working hard in Area Y, and even had their own members join in, but they were suppressed in vain..
Even if I came forward now, I wasn't sure that the flow would completely go over to the other side and things would proceed as planned. A new plan was needed. new plan.
"Now we have no choice but to break through head-on..”
The chef, who had been thinking about it, muttered as if he had decided..
"Head-on breakthrough?”
"okay. Originally, I was planning to use District Y gangs as bait to divert their attention, but it already failed, right? Now those guys from Area Y will shift the blame to me. If it goes well, it's my fault; if it doesn't, it's my partner's fault. From Crime Firm to Area Y... . As time goes on, we are the ones at a disadvantage..”
That's right. Time was no longer on their side.
"What is the specific plan??”
"I will intentionally let it slip that I am the one behind it. It was me, the head of the fighter crew, who worked together with District Y to rob Crime Firm..”
"That's okay though?”
"Why not? I made it anyway so I could use it when needed. The fighter crew is quite large, and they are people who imitate black magic, but they all have a lot of practical experience, so even Crime Firm will not be able to approach them easily. That's how much attention will be fixed on this side..”
"Will your subordinates cooperate??”
"If you want to live, you will do it. If it is known that I stole the auction items, my subordinates will be treated the same way. We will cooperate whether we like it or not. Then, if you shake the meat to give it to the black hand at the right time, they will do their best to cooperate. Those who are at the bottom will have to change their fortunes, but will they be satisfied if they don't do it??”
"It's not wrong..”
"In that sense, I'm asking, but I found the target.?”
"We reduced the scope to five locations. I want to attack right away, but the security is so high that I need to find out more. If you get it wrong, it will definitely be hidden deeper..”
"I'll buy you as much time as possible, so figure it out quickly. There is not much time left as the master said. If you do something wrong, you and I will have a hard time.."
"okay… . Would you be okay with that? It can be dangerous?”
"I'm being bullied by guys like that.?”
The chef got angry at the remark that seemed to ignore him. His appearance could be said to be that of an infallible human meat chef's disciple..
"Who knew that Bolu would be treated so vainly?.”
After the chef saw Bolu disappear without a trace, he saw Oliver moving towards the Y area barrier..
"hmm..… . It would be easier if we just get rid of that troubleshooter first..”
"how?”
"I happen to have one of my subordinates who is close to that guy. If we add some troops, maybe we can take him down? It doesn't matter if I fail... .. Just in case, please lend me a fork..”
The man turned around at the chef's request. A huge fat man clucks! Crack! They were eating the corpse..
fork.
Fork looks back in silence. They were chewing the bones, flesh, and intestines together..
"You need to do some work..”
***
There was an unexpected incident, but in conclusion, the operation was a successful success..
All auction items hidden in the temple in Area Y were recovered, and many of the stolen auction items were there..
Although I had to find the rest of the auction items, the biggest accomplishment was actually the first mission..
It was a really good story.
"But the best story is that Dave contributed the most to this. Dave's name will spread even within the Pinkman office..”
Al, who brought the ordered fish dish, placed the food in front of Oliver and said:.
He skillfully and disciplinedly opened a bottle of white wine and poured it for Oliver..
"I didn't order any alcohol.?”
"The boss asked me to prepare it for you when he is away, so you can feel free to eat it..”
It was like that. The reason Oliver ordered food at the restaurant now wasn't just because he was hungry..
It was also to wait for Forrest, who was away for a while due to work..
Al said that due to the recent increase in work, he is often away from work due to being busy with new clients, meeting with other brokers, and coordinating work..
"Of course, this is only for a limited time, so this inconvenience will soon disappear. Thank you again for your understanding..”
"No, thanks. It's fun to wait like this... .. In that sense, can I ask you a question??”
Oliver asked after taking a bite of the fish dish and licking his mouth with white wine..
Al responded as kindly and politely as usual..
"Please feel free to tell us. I will answer as truthfully as possible within the scope of my ability..”
Sincerity. He was a truly kind person..
"Does the noticeably increased number of customers in the store have something to do with the increased work??”
Oliver asked, looking around the store..
As Oliver asked, there were a lot of people in the store..
From a pale-skinned gentleman in a suit, a muscular man, a sharp-looking woman, to a man wearing unique glasses... . Everyone seemed distant from the general public..
Quite a few of them glanced at Oliver and whispered to him..
“That friend?”
"Now I'm working with Pinkman?”
"I heard they set off a bomb in Area Y.?”
"You hit the jackpot in your later years..”
"Well, I thought I would retire with nothing special..”
Al seemed to have felt those gazes as well, and glanced at him for a moment before answering..
"Yes, there are new solvers, intelligence dealers, brokers, security companies, money launderers, etc. As a broker gets more work, his or her feet need to expand..”
I understand. Being a broker wasn't just about arranging work. The process required considerable effort and manpower..
There were a lot of things to pay attention to, such as looking at the background of the mission, whether the client was lying, whether the reward was too low compared to the risk, what to watch out for when entering the mission, and so on..
The reality is that it is difficult for a broker to do all that work alone. Therefore, several collaborators were needed..
"You must be very busy.”
"Rather, I am just happy. Work is a blessing from God..”
At that moment, Oliver remembered a scripture he had read a long time ago..
That work is sacred.
“..…Mr. Dave?”
“yes?”
"Are you okay??”
"Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while. Did I make some mistake??”
"No, it's not a mistake... .. You must be very tired..”
Oliver nodded and gave a vague answer. Then he naturally brought up another topic..
"By any chance, did you tell Jonathan anything new??”
"sorry. Mr. Dave. Since that is the boss's business, I don't have the authority to say anything. Please understand."
Al spoke with sincerity not only on the outside but also in his heart..
"no. I'm just asking just in case, so don't worry about it..”
Seeing Oliver's polite attitude, Al must have had a change of heart. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth..
“..…I personally heard rumors.”
"Rumors?”
"Yes, it seems like a rumor that spread out of nowhere.-”
“-Thank goodness. Because I'm here.”
A voice suddenly interrupted while Al was talking. It sounded pretty familiar..
When Oliver turned his head, he could see Joe in an unusual emotional state..
"hi.”
***
Oliver was a little startled by Joe's sudden appearance, but quickly regained his composure..
Whatever it was, Dave the Fixer's name was pretty well known by now, and the deal with Forrest on Street 27 in Area T was a story everyone in the know knew about..
So it wasn't that strange that Joe came here looking for Oliver..
What was actually strange was Joe's emotional state..
Anger, nervousness, fear, guilt, self-justification, confusion, fear, hesitation, etc..
Joe's emotional state was chaotic and sticky, as if all kinds of substances had been added and heated..
Except for a few cases, Jochigo always maintains a calm and clear emotional state, which is quite an unusual condition..
“..…Do you need any help??”
Al whispered softly into Oliver's ear. I was willing to help if anything happened..
Oliver thought for a moment and shook his head..
“….No, it's no big deal. Do not worry.”
Al didn't believe it, but nodded..
"If it's okay, can I order another one like this??”
Oliver asked, pointing to the food in front of him..
Joe raised his hand in rejection..
"I'm done... . I'm not hungry.”
lie. Oliver said.
"Oh, I see. Can I still have some? I came to a restaurant and they said it's bad manners not to order.."
Joe thought for a moment and nodded slowly. Guilt and hesitation shined even brighter..
After receiving the order, Al said he would bring it as soon as possible and walked away..
Oliver asked as he ate first..
"It's a little surprising. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"uh..…."
"May I ask what brought you to see me??”
"That's because I have something to tell you personally..”
"I have a story to tell?”
"Uh, it's a bit awkward to say here... . Can we go out and talk separately? When the time comes?”
Joe's emotional state was clearly strange. With every word he uttered, hesitation, guilt, self-justification, fear, and nervousness shone through and ran through his head..
The emotional turmoil is evident in the body..
He was conscious of that too, but Oliver didn't ask why..
I was curious, but I instinctively knew that I wouldn't be able to get a proper answer in my current state..
Joe opened his mouth again, his nervousness shining. She tried to somehow convince Oliver.
"that-"
“-All right.”
"what?”
"I understand. I was planning on meeting Forest, but I could come later. Instead, there are two conditions:."
"condition..… ? What?”
"First, eat and move. Just then, food comes out over there..”
Oliver said, pointing to Al, who was bringing food..
