Genius Warlock-Episode 226
Forrest took Oliver and Ewan to visit Angel's House..
It was Oliver's fifth visit..
The first was to receive a request from Edith, and the second to fifth visits were to learn makeup from Coco..
Well, in addition to makeup, I also learned how to make coffee, how to dress, and how to compliment women..….
‘I wonder if I learned it properly.’
Upon opening the red front door and entering, the gorgeous interior welcomed guests..
Fortunately, Lee Wan seemed to like it and gave an exclamation as he snapped his fingers..
"Mamma mia… ! I like it.”
"I'm glad you like it. Let's go in.”
As soon as we got inside, girls in skimpy outfits appeared and welcomed Oliver..
"Oh my, Dave?”
"nice to meet you. What happened?.”
“I came to see Coco.?”
"Why aren't you coming these days??”
It was a sincere greeting, not a smile used when dealing with guests, and Oliver also greeted each and every one with sincerity, as usual. Because it was polite.
At that sight, Ewan looked at Oliver with a jealous expression, and Forrest also looked at Oliver with his pupils shaking..
“..…dave?”
“Yes, nice to meet you. Ms. Mary… . huh? Why are you doing this? Forrest.”
Forrest looked at Oliver with his pupils shaking, as if he still couldn't accept the situation. Even when I was attacked earlier, I didn't react like this..
"Umm… . Do you visit this store often??”
"yes… ..I visited a few times. This is the sixth time?”
"oh my god oh my god..…."
Forrest muttered as he was in an indescribable shock..
“What mistake did I make??”
"No, it's not a mistake, but what can I say? I feel like I witnessed the death of the world's last innocence. It's natural that many troubleshooters come to stores like this, but you... . Oh God.”
"I think I was very shocked..”
A calm voice that seems to calm a person's mind. When I turned my head, I could see Elizabeth, the owner and mama of Angel's House..
Elizabeth, with white hair as clean as a cloud, exuded a calm and intelligent charm even as she entered old age..
"Miss Elizabeth.”
"Mr. Forrest.”
As if they knew each other, Forrest and Elizabeth called each other by their names..
Maybe it's not that strange... Landa was huge, but it was also narrow at the same time. The back world was especially like that..
“I heard a rumor recently. You succeeded in something big? congratulations. After all, a talented man’s prime comes at any time..”
“no. I just got lucky.”
Forrest spoke humbly, but he also meant it. He attributed his achievements to pure luck.
"In this city, luck is seen as a skill. Luck doesn't just come to you..”
"Thank you..”
“It was nothing. Thank you again for coming. Celebration party… It doesn't seem like you came here to do . What did you come for??”
Elizabeth asked as she looked at Oliver and Ewan. I don't know the details, but I realized that this was not an ordinary visit due to the woman's unique sense and experience on this floor..
"I came here in a hurry because I wanted to treat the precious guest who saved my life... ..Is there room??”
"ah.… . Of course. Can I prepare something for the kids too??”
"Yes, I would appreciate it..”
Like the owner of a store, Elizabeth clapped her hands and gave orders to her employees..
An employee guided Oliver and his group with a friendly business smile and took them to a room..
It was a room with antique furniture, and the sofa was arranged in a U-shape..
"You seem to be friends with the girls here. Are you a regular here??”
Lee Wan sat down, put his legs up on the table, and asked.
Oliver answered, sitting down on the sofa after Forrest..
"I'm a regular?”
"There's no other way to become friendly with the brothel staff. A bigot who brings money and offers. Suddenly I'm curious about you too. Go ahead and tell it. How did you become friends with the girls here? share the secret!”
Lee Wan clenches his fists and speaks forcefully. Surprisingly, Forrest also showed interest, although he pretended not to..
"uh..… . We're not that friendly. I just came here to learn some makeup techniques and became acquainted with her. Then, when there was a commotion, I helped once or twice..”
“turmoil?”
Forrest asked.
"Yes, just like I learned from Joe, I persuaded the customers who were making a fuss… . Everyone calmed down.”
Lee Wan intervened..
“Why did you learn makeup??”
"I learned how to make a corpse doll look like a human. Then, the range that can be utilized increases... .. Well, there are some things I just want to learn..”
"ha ha ha.… As I saw in your letter, you have a very unique personality. These days, warlocks just try to go quickly and easily..”
"From what I hear you say, you seem to be quite old..”
Forrest naturally intervened..
“Actually, I'm a bit older. As you can see, she looks young... .. I'm sure you're not curious about the man's age, so if you have any questions, just ask. In return for inviting me to a good place, I will give you some service in return.."
Forrest didn't say no..
"It looks like you are familiar with the anti-development committee. How do you know each other??”
Forrest asked, genuinely curious. That's because even the brokers who handle a lot of information in Landa don't really know anything about the anti-development committee..
“Well, we do business one way or another..”
"It's a deal?"
"They want the tools I made, and I also want something from them..”
Iwan's tone was very light, but Forrest was serious..
If we were to deal with the anti-development committee, the warlock in front of us was no ordinary person..
The Anti-Development Committee was an enigmatic, vicious, and dangerous breed that even the city had given up on eradicating. Additionally, he was the subject of all sorts of strange rumors..
Anyway, the average person couldn't even talk to them, let alone do business with them..
Just as Forrest was about to ask another question, the door opened with good timing and employees came in..
The regular employees put drinks and food on the table, and the service employees sat one by one next to Forrest, Oliver, and Ewan..
Oliver had visited this store several times and knew what it was like, but this was his first time using it, so he felt something awkward..
On the other hand, Forest naturally kept his distance from the woman as if he was used to it, and Lee Wan became more friendly than anyone else and clung to the woman sitting next to him..
He didn't seem to be as popular with women as he described himself, but he seemed to like women. She wasn't completely distracted though..
"Can I ask a question this time??”
Lee Wan asked Forest while focusing his gaze on the woman..
“what do you mean?”
“Really, I'm really curious all of a sudden, how did Mr. Forrest and Dave meet? No, I mean. Isn't this city so big that even a middleman can't get enough of it? I don't think we just met by chance, how did we meet??”
It was sharp. It was a minor detail that could have been overlooked, but the opportunity for Forrest and Oliver to work together was by no means accidental..
“...We met through an introduction..”
“introduction?”
“Yes, a friend I worked with in the past gave me a letter of introduction and sent it to me..”
"Oh hoho… .!! I would really appreciate that. A friend who was introduced to me by a former colleague is such a blessing..”
"I'm feeling it keenly these days.”
Forrest's hand stiffened awkwardly, and his emotions fluctuated slightly along with it. Emotions such as gratitude, guilt, and regret were mixed for a moment..
Lee Wan also did not miss this..
“What is that friend's name??”
“yes?”
"What is that friend's name? I want to know the name of the bluebird that brought you luck. Please answer. Well, let me answer you kindly too..
Forrest hesitated before answering..
“..…It's cantra.”
“Oh, cant…. . That's fun. They say the name of the head of the biggest beggar gang in this city is Cantra..”
Oliver flinched, and so did Forrest..
Oliver asked.
"Where did you hear that??”
"I told you, I know a lot. Well, it's all just a rumor, but with amazing resourcefulness, he created a huge gang of beggars to help other beggars? It's a very crazy story. You're helping a beggar. Now that I think about it, maybe this isn't Sodom and Gomorrah..”
Lee Wan laughed loudly..
“But, how did we break up??”
“yes?”
"With the person named Cant who introduced me to that friend. She must have a reason for breaking up?”
Even Forest, who had been an expert, was agitated again by Lee Wan's questions, which were light but perfectly delved into people's painful parts..
Do you have any bad memories? Forrest's emotions were fluctuating..
Honestly, I was curious about Oliver too. It had been over a year since he had met Cant and Forrest, and Oliver knew nothing about them other than that they were co-workers..
"It's a little personal.”
"Oh, that's better. There's nothing more fun than flipping over other people's personal affairs. Things like my wife’s affair, or my child’s not my blood… ..Tell me about it..”
Lee Wan ate a snack and openly demanded an answer. Forrest's feelings didn't matter..
Forrest felt uncomfortable with such a blatant request, but was unable to respond easily due to the fact that he was Oliver's guest.,
As if Lee Wan knew this, he drank alcohol to clear his throat and even smoked a cigar he had secretly brought with him from the limousine..
"If you don't answer, I can't answer the question either.?”
"Is that so?”
"of course. Isn't it unfair for me to be the only one answering? Because of you, you're wasting the chance to get a response from him..”
Ewan pointed at Oliver like he was giving a treat. Forrest looked at Oliver with a poker face and took a sip of his drink with a look of confusion on his face..
If it were the usual Forrest, he would have figured it out somehow, but not only was the question a question, but the opponent was also very bad. I asked for an answer unconditionally, regardless of interest..
I thought they were doing this on purpose..
"Honestly, aren’t you curious too? How did this broker and the person who introduced you break up? Looking at it like this, I think there must be a dramatic anecdote.?”
That was true. Oliver didn't ask either, but he wanted to hear how Forrest and Cant broke up..
Cant trusted Forrest enough to introduce him to Oliver, but when I heard Cant's decline from a fixer to a beggar, something didn't feel right..
At this point, it might not be a bad thing to hear this... .. But Oliver soon relented after seeing Forrest's difficult feelings..
Because spontaneity was important in this story,.
"Lee Wan.”
“Ah, somehow, I think it's a boring story.?”
"Sorry, but can you please ask that question??”
"why? Aren’t you curious??”
"To be honest, I'm curious. However, I think you should tell these stories when you want to tell them yourself..”
"Why??”
“Because that would be the truest.”
“Oh, that sounds like some kind of scripture. Because it will be true... .. But, don’t you think this is a bit unfair? You just call me out because you have a question, and then ask me to put up with my questions. It's a bit shameless.?”
Oliver tried to say that it was a private matter, but he quickly quit. That might not be important to this person. Above all, he himself had that kind of temperament..
As Oliver was thinking about how to respond, the female employee sitting next to him whispered lowly in his ear. She was a woman whom Oliver helped in the past when she was having trouble with a customer's dispute..
Whisper whisper.
Oliver looked at the woman, and she nodded as if telling him to trust her..
"I hope the handsome and big-hearted Lee Wan will understand..”
“..…Heh, do I look like the kind of person who would fall for such flattery? It was a little risky, but you're welcome..”
"If you understand, the employees here will tell Mama and provide special service to the entire store..”
Ewan paused..
“..…Fuck, I can't help it. I, who am handsome and have a big heart, have no choice but to give in. But it just won't work.”
"then..…?”
"Originally, I was going to answer everything today. I'm honored that he helps my student and is a polite friend... .. It’s not easy for me to feel this way..”
Sincerity.
“However, because I am offended, I will only accept one question. Only one… .. If you don’t like it, quit..”
Unilateral notification. Forrest winked at Oliver that he would just answer, but Oliver said it was okay..
I wanted to hear it, but I wanted to hear it when it spoke for itself..
"All right. Well then, I just have one question for you..”
"Are you okay? It's not easy to get an answer from me, but my wanderlust and debt can make me leave at any time..”
“Then, I can go find it..”
Lee Wan was momentarily speechless..
“.……Oh, that's creepy. A man is chasing me. Tell me, what are you curious about? Are you curious about the magic item I created like I wrote in the letter? Or are you curious about the anti-development committee??”
Oliver opened his mouth without a moment of hesitation..
"Tick. Tick. Tick. The clock is moving… . Do you know anything about this word??”
