Genius Warlock - Episode 220
After defeating the foreign gang alliance led by François, Oliver returned to the building where the branch manager was located with Joe and his group..
He was skeptical at first when he saw Oliver and his group return before the sun rose, but when Big Mouth showed him the bodies of François and his men, he soon lost his doubts..
“ah… .. It's really him. Did you kill it yourself??”
Oliver shook his head..
"No, it wasn't me, it was Joe who did it. I haven't done anything.”
The branch manager glanced at Joe, and Joe made a characteristic blunt expression..
The sight of the branch manager aroused some fear and admiration..
Of course, it was a gang of 100 people, but François and his subordinates were much more troublesome opponents..
Impervious to bullets, withstand bombs, and cut down and destroy whatever weapon they wielded..
Once the distance was narrowed and the sword was swung, the ordinary armed forces were split apart like infantry in front of a tank..
But to turn such a monster into a corpse as soon as it arrived today?.
The rumor that Landa was overflowing with monsters seemed to be true..
"Oh right.… . You said there were 100 foreign gang members.?”
"yes? Oh, yes... about a hundred people..”
"We went to the warehouse, but there were only eighty people there. The remaining twenty people were not seen..”
“ah… .. Probably patrolling another area. We will sort out the remnants to that extent..”
"Well then, that's a relief... . Do you need this body by any chance??”
"A corpse.?”
"Yes, if you don't need it, I'd like to have it. There is nothing you can do if you need it..”
“iced coffee.… . It's not a good idea to keep it anyway. Can I just take a picture of the evidence??”
When Oliver gave permission, the branch manager immediately brought a camera from the office and took pictures..
Oliver felt relieved when he saw that. It would have been a shame to ask for it, but I was really thankful that everyone gave in so readily..
‘By the way, how do you process that??’
Oliver thought as he looked at the dead bodies of François and his men..
I still have Duncan, so I don't really need a close-range corpse doll..
No, before that, the number of Childs was limited, so no matter how many corpse dolls were made, there was a limit to their use..
There is also a method that Oliver operates, but it is quite inefficient as it requires concentration of attention..
‘No, wait... ..Do I really need to control it? Can’t we just tell the children to control it??’
Oliver thought about it and decided it wasn't that bad..
All that was needed was the corpse of a manipulation-type warlock skilled enough to control a corpse doll, so it was quite possible..
At least it was worth experimenting with..
“Mr. Dave. I took all the pictures here.”
The Baekport branch manager said as he took out the film and put it in his pocket..
Oliver had Big Mouse swallow the body again, then folded Big Mouse up and placed it in a leather case around his waist..
"Thank you again for finishing this. If you don't mind, I'd like to give you something to treat you..….”
Branch leader speaks carefully.
Oliver was about to politely refuse, but then he looked at Joe and the others..
"Thank you for your words, but I'm a little tired... .. Oh, I didn't ask for your opinion. How is it?”
Everyone, including Joe, shook their heads at Oliver's words..
"No, neither do we…?
"Ah, I see. Well, you started working as soon as you arrived today... .. sorry. I wasn't considerate enough."
"no. just..… ah.”
Oliver sounded like he had a good idea..
“Even though you are the Minister, can I ask you something??”
"To me? well… .. I don't know much, but I can answer as much as I can. What are you curious about??”
"Do you know anything about Sheamus? Druid Sheamus.”
***
Fortunately, the head of Backport knew Sheamus well..
No, to be exact, a man named Sheamus was famous within Crime Firm..
Maybe it's natural…..
He was a legendary figure who came to Landa alone, became a problem solver, and reached the top of the league in just one year..
He even boldly retired at the peak and joined a crime firm..
Of course, it was common for a famous fixer to join a powerful organization, but Sheamus had a different story..
‘Yes, I just heard it, but they said there were better options than Crime Firm at the time. A city councilor, a capitalist or something like that..’
Considering power, wealth, fame, etc. as a whole, being a city councilor or a capitalist would have been a better option than the Crime Firm, but for some reason, Sheamus refused them all and volunteered to join the Crime Firm..
And soon I found out why.
He began to demonstrate in earnest the resourcefulness that he had shown little by little during his time as a troubleshooter, and gained influence by intervening in political disputes between directors. Soon, even though he was an individual, he was treated like an organization, and based on this, he started his own business..
'Are you talking about Leaf Loan??’
'Yes, that's right. Leaf Loan. It is a loan company that is also recognized within the crime firm. Rumor has it that he built his business with his lovers' money, but thanks to his talent, he found businesses that were struggling for money and lent them money, leading to great growth. Rumor has it that their assets are almost at the level of the directors, but seeing their business expansion doesn't seem like a lie. There's one here in the backport as well..’
The Baekport branch manager expressed admiration but also felt uncomfortable..
Last time, Gordon Goodheart also expressed his discomfort with Sheamus, and for some reason, the existing Crime Firm members seemed to be uncomfortable with him..
‘Is there any special reason??’
Anyway, after hearing the general information about Sheamus, Oliver got up from his seat, went to the hotel provided by the branch leader, and rested until late lunch time..
"Thank you for your consideration. Thanks to you, I had a good rest.”
Oliver politely greeted the Baekport branch manager who had come to see him off..
"No, not much. I am truly grateful. Because you solved a problem that was bothering me in just a few hours... .. thank you.”
"No, I repeat, I did nothing, it was these people who did the work. You should say hello to these people..”
Oliver pointed to Joe and his group, and the branch manager greeted them again..
“yes… .. Anyway, thank you again. If you visit Bagport, please come visit me anytime. I will help in whatever way I can, whether it is public or private... By the way, it's really unfortunate. I deserve to be treated something..”
"I am grateful enough just from my heart. There are also prior arrangements..”
"Make a reservation in advance?”
"yes."
***
After parting ways with the Baekport branch leader, Oliver did not leave the city, but went to the meeting place..
While moving, Oliver said to Joe and his group:.
"You can return first..”
"Well, what's wrong with returning a little later? They said that the place where we were supposed to meet was a good restaurant, so we also had a chance to fill our stomachs. Even if you feel uncomfortable?”
"no. That's not it. I wonder if you would like to see your younger siblings..”
“It's not that I like them enough to want to see them as soon as possible..”
Owen and Sam laughed at Joe's words..
"....By any chance, was that a joke??”
"Maybe?”
“ah… .. I think it’s a funny joke. I need to remember.”
“Not to that extent... .. Are you kidding??”
"yes?"
"yes?"
"......."
"......."
An awkwardly disjointed conversation. Oliver brought up another story to get back on track..
“If it's okay with you, could you take the medicine for me? It's hard to find the way because it's my first time here..”
Joe nodded, looked at the map Oliver gave him, and then skillfully led the way..
"It's like here.”
Joe stopped in front of a two-story building..
2All of the two-story buildings were restaurants, and on the signboard was an unknown text:.
The restaurant I was invited to was correct..
As soon as he checked the store, Oliver opened the door and went inside..
Dangling. Dangling. It was similar to Forest Restaurant, but a slightly different bell rang and a large employee came up and said:.
Surprisingly, he was a magic user..
"Sorry, sir. Today is a day off for some reason at the store..”
“I was invited to come here.?”
Oliver held out the business card given to him by the druid he met at the warehouse yesterday..
The phrase [Leaf Loan] was engraved on a black business card in an old-fashioned way..
"Oh, sorry. The boss is waiting. We'll guide you right away..”
The waiter spoke more kindly than before..
Oliver said thank you and tried to go up with Joe and the others, but the waiter saw him and stopped him..
"Sorry, sir... .. I would like only the guests to come up, not the people in my group. The boss said he wanted to eat alone..”
"These people didn't eat either.?"
"Don't worry about that. We can also serve food here on the first floor. At that time, other employees were also eating... . If it's okay, would you like to join us??”
Oliver looked at Joe and his group and asked them what they wanted, and Joe and his group looked at each other and nodded..
“It doesn't matter to us.”
The employee nodded with satisfaction and called another employee..
He then guided Oliver and Joe separately..
"enjoy your meal.”
"Dave too..”
Step by step. Step by step. Step by step.
Guided by the waiter, Oliver went up to the second floor, and at the same time he could smell the fragrant smell of food..
"Come on. You're right on time..”
Sheamus, who was sitting among the numerous tables, greeted Oliver by chewing on a T-bone steak with the bone intact..
He was dressed more casually than when I saw him at the auction, but other than that he looked the same..
His hair and clothes were green, he was cheerful, and he showed off the composure and confidence that can only be felt in the wealthy Landa class..
‘Well, even Mr. Gordon called it Landa's new class..….’
Oliver approached the new class and greeted them..
"hello. Sheamus. thank you for the invitation.”
"Haha! As expected, you are as polite as I said. Most of the problem solvers have no fundamentals, so even if they do well, they are not cheap. Well, I was one of them.”
Sheamus laughed cheerfully again. His emotions were filled with joy, exhilaration and satisfaction..
"I'll just leave now. president.”
"uh, bye.”
Sheamus gave the employee a friendly send-off..
"I didn't know you also ran a restaurant..”
“He's just called the boss for convenience, not the real boss. Strictly speaking, I'm just an investor. The owner of the store is mine.."
Sheamus extended his pinky finger, which was as long as his height..
"The little finger runs the business.?”
"No, fuck. It means lover.”
“ah…..”
“I don't know this language at all..”
"sorry.”
"No, there's nothing to be sorry about. I was a bit like that when I first came to Landa... . Still, I don’t think it was as good as you..”
"When I first came to Landa, do you mean three years ago??”
"okay. How did you do it? They were investigating me?”
"It wasn't a background investigation, I just heard about it. Sheamus is famous in Crime Firm..”
“Ah, I am famous. He came in when I was at my best and did all kinds of dirty work. But now I'm settling down and starting my own business. Crazy guys are talking behind me... ..Tell me honestly. Everyone gossiped about me?”
"yes."
Oliver answered without any hesitation..
"You're so honest?”
"Business people in Landa are always trying to kill each other, so I thought it was okay to curse. I'm sorry if you felt bad.”
Oliver spoke his mind without any malice. To be honest, Randa's daily life as a problem solver was like this, so she thought she was okay with cursing..
"Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk!! Oh, we're in big trouble. I like it more and more. First of all, let’s sit down and have a meal together. And let's talk business.."
"It's a business story.?”
"of course. Could it be that I really only invited you to eat??”
